    Musta been a pretty gruesome method of social (mob) justice to reverberate in our culture all these years later......

    I spilled hot oatmeal on myself while trying to multi-task just the other morning and since I was listening to an episode of the podcast Revolutions at the time, and one of the earlier episodes described this in a little detail........I received a theory-to-practice demo on how a heated gooey substance applied to unprotected flesh might actually feel..........without the feathers of course, which would do little to improve the taste of oatmeal.
    Only salt, honey, cinnamon, and a liberal application of some form of animal fat (bacon, butter, etc.....) can do that!

    Speaking of theory.....if you indulge in an ultra-low-carb (essentially a Vegan) diet, you will NOT live longer!!!

    It will just seem longer!

    Tarred and feathered, yea!
    Thistles and thornes
    One or the other
    He kindly warned

    Now you look out the window tell me
    What do you see?
    I see a golden calf pointing
    Back at me

    Asphalt is hauled and applied at about 200 oC. Oatmeal <100 oC. Sensations might differ.

    It also sticks to the skin, and will pull it off when it cools and contracts.

    i'd hope the traditional tar used in tar-and-feathers application was more liquid at ambient temp's. :eek:
