you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

Killdozer was an American rock band formed in Madison, Wisconsin, in 1983 with members Bill Hobson, Dan Hobson and Michael Gerald. They took their name from the 1974 TV movie, directed by Jerry London, itself based on a Theodore Sturgeon short story. They released their first album, Intellectuals are the Shoeshine Boys of the Ruling Elite, in the same year. The band split in 1990 but reformed in 1993, losing guitarist Bill Hobson and gaining Paul Zagoras, and continued until they split up in 1996. Their farewell tour was officially titled "gently caress You, We Quit!", and included Erik Tunison of Die Kreuzen in place of Dan Hobson on drums and Jeff Ditzenberger on additional guitar. The band released nine albums, including a post-breakup live CD, The Last Waltz.

Killdozer was notable for its slow, grinding song structures and blackly humorous lyrics, growled ominously by singer/guitarist Michael Gerald at the top of his lungs. Many of their songs were disturbing narratives of small-town life gone awry, and later had a jaded, left-wing political perspective. Killdozer is regarded by many to have helped set the foundation for grunge music, despite that genre's association with the city of Seattle.

The band also became famous for its cover songs, an example being Don McLean's "American Pie". A version exists on their 1989 all-covers album For Ladies Only. Gerald also did a cover of Jessi Colter's "I'm Not Lisa" for the band's 1986 EP Burl, dedicated "in loving memory of" the then-living Burl Ives. The EP in its entirety can be found on the CD version of their 1994 album Uncompromising War on Art Under the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

A couple years back I accidentally went viral for a thing I wrote off the cuff about the Killdozer on my lunch break. I had like fifty people connected to me on FB and that thing got shared so many times in a week that Snopes wrote an article debunking it and linking to my full name and profile. I shut the post off when some dude threatened to find and eviscerate me. I still feel a small spark of joy and tremendous unease when some jag copy pastes it this time of year.

Anyway, thats my Killdozer story thank you.

Yes. Admittedly it was written tongue and cheek and with a very hazy recollection of the events. Anyway turns out libertarians ate that poo poo up.

Killdozer was a dumbass libertarian who got mad at the city giving him poo poo for dumping raw sewage where it didn't belong. The fact that he managed to only kill himself during his rampage is a miracle lol

there's definitely more to it than that; mostly small-town cliquey corruption of the sort that's ubiquitous across the US. not that this makes "divinely-sanctioned killdozer" a sane response

It was something along the lines of a city work/project blocking access for customers into his...hardware store? Then they were loving with him about zoning or building a new entrance or some such. Building concrete armour over a bulldozer and smashing it into the city boards homes and businesses and taking pot shots at cops with a mounted rifle was his answer.

The killdozer guy just missed killing a number of innocent people, including children in the local library. Wikipedia article here for those without the time to watch a video (not because you're currently building your own killdozer, I hope):

granby owns, i went camping up there and crashed my car on a stump hiding in a shadow, i hung out with bees and ants so i am authorized to speak on it. I spraypainted 'chilldozer' on that car before i pushed it off a mountain. it is located at the top of the moountains. theres a lake. a lot of fuckers pour gas in the lake and steals all the fish.,
if you take a left you end up in cool mountains made out of old lava or some poo poo. you have to get in trouble for skateboarding down a steep hill by a park randger before they'll tell you where the cool camping spots are. anywhere you find a fire ring you can camp. but like i said, take a left at the white ceramic horse then do a left right left move and you'll be on a mountain and it owns.

In the end he lost everything anyway, but he did get to piss some people off before the end. We do not know his life's outcome had this incident not occurred. He was a frustrated, angry man that did not know how to deal with it. I think a lot of us have felt this way, we're just not lunatics. We also know anyone of us are just few bad decisions away from loving our lives up. I try to remember this day, besides as a celebration of my life, as one of raising awareness of both mental health issues, as well as ones of classism, poverty, toxic masculinity and our problems with trying to get help and/or accepting losses. Be well friends.
