Drunken chicken and SLB / Rats will eat you ALIVE!

The meal at Shanghai River was pretty good: drunken chicken, Shanghai noodles, Peking duck, SLB, fish, mushrooms, lettuce wraps, and all the rest... oh my! Mom is NOT ALLOWED to mention weddings at Sunday lunch! (Pho?) Steph seems to think I'll be on my best behavior - probably, haha. Alan and Tracy are engaged, and he probably had a wild time in Los Vegas if his MSN personal message is "never going to drink again!" We discussed Hon's wedding, Dallas, both Vivians, SLB night next Thursday (I won't need a ride from Steph since I'll probably get one from the guys), Korey, Steph eating out too much and her official application, dinners and stuff galore, corporate perks like premium hockey playoff seats and Peking duck afterwards, Alan and Liz's wedding / dinner parties, Nathan, gossip, tomorrow's plans, birthday cards, Shanghai Wind / Shanghai Wonderful, Eric, Mike K. and Chris in Mexico, getting sick, and how we sorta have to translate any comments Grandma makes about Korey on Sunday. My siblings and I still think that she assumes he's white, haha. If that's the case, she'll get a shock!


Yup, I'm posting a morbid facts newsletter for the first time in weeks. Enjoy! :D

Today's Disgusting Yet Truly Morbid Fact!

Richard Kuklinski (April 11, 1935 - March 5, 2006) was a notorious hit man known as "The Iceman" who was connected to the Gambino crime family. Over the course of thirty years, Kuklinski killed regularly. Although an exact number has never been settled upon by authorities, Kuklinski himself at various times had claimed to have killed at least 100 and possibly more than 200 individuals. Kuklinski stated that only once had he felt repulsed in the commission of a crime. He once kidnapped one of his victims, and rather than conventionally murder him, tied him up so tightly that the ropes drew blood. He then left the man in a cave in the wilderness where he was eaten alive by rats that were attracted by the smell of blood. Kuklinski filmed the man's death, and claimed that upon viewing it, he felt disgusted for the first and only time in regard to a murder he had committed. According to Philip Carlo's book Ice Man: Confessions of a Mafia Contract Killer, this method of feeding live victims to rats was used multiple times by Kuklinksi. It was common when the victim was required to "suffer." Kuklinski claimed to videotape the deaths for whoever wanted the hit. Police however, have never found any of the videos.
