Somber thoughts of burning planets

I had to fly all the way to Detroit to get kidnapped. Extreme Kidnapping is a company operated by Adam Thick, an entrepreneur and convicted counterfeiter from Oakland County, Michigan. Thick founded Extreme Kidnapping in 2002 after being inspired by the old David Fincher movie The Game. For $500, Adam and his crew will abduct you at gunpoint and hold you hostage for four hours. A thousand bucks gets you ten hours, along with a bit of customized sadism.

I was offered a torture menu, from which I made my selections with little rhyme or reason.

Waterboarding? Stress positions? Stun gun? Fire?
I've never been waterboarded, but it sounds horrible. I guess we could maybe explore it. I dunno about a stun gun. Probably not.

Beaten with a trout? Battered with a summer sausage? I'm not kidding.
Oh sure. Can I eat the summer sausage when you're done?

Piranha?
HOLY SHIT.
