Jeez... What the hell happened? All of sudden Philly's become 'civilized,' or what? hardly anybody gettin' themselves killed off... Or is it just a lull before the storm? New Years Eve is just a couple days away...
Maybe we'll see that uptick when the freaks come out and spread violence, mayhem and destruction on the eve of the end of 2009!
We're waiting with breaths 'bated for the final act!

I have the Glock here by the keyboard ready to rock and roll, with the spare clip. Reminds me, I need to get more clips.

It ain't over til it's over ya dolt! Remember 2009 goes til 1 minute, or 1 second...AFTER midnight tanight!
Then ya get ta report the final tally for 2009. Murders that is. Also, keep in mind suicides do not count, including suicide by cop. Let's just call 'em murders for clarity, and record keeping shall we?
All murders. By gub, knife, blunt trauma, beatings [with any object, including a gub with no ammo], being tossed off roofs, bridges, out of moving vehicles, run over by vehicles [including trains], although those may be termed 'suicides,' thus not considered murder...
Poisonings? Murder. Now the members of BurningJournaldotcom await for Troll's final report.
Thank you, the staff

Oh yeah...booby traps count. Being caught, and killed in a trap may also be counted as murder...for all intents and purposes.
