- Game, set, MURDER!
- MURDER, anyone?!
- MURDER commits a foot fault!
- "Oh my, I think he's dead. I'll just check his pulse. Let's see, I ... I just push my hand against his left shoulder, right? Like this? Right, Steve? Steve, honey, is this right? Knuckles-to-shoulder?"
- So much Fear Hand in this picture. They are both double-Fear-Handing it, for the rare QuadraFearHand™.
- "She's trapped in there with a corpse! How will I ever ... oh wait this is just a chain link fence, I'll just walk around ha ha silly me."
- MURDER has a respectable two-hand backhand!
- *Someone* has never solved a jigsaw puzzle, or sucks at metaphors.
- Old Nick Young, winner of Most Oxymoronic Name three years running. Take that, Big Steve Small!

The words jerked Hugh upright.
No more jerking, Hugh!

If these people have such problems with their wire cage, it might be time to redecorate. I'm sure when they bought their house, 'murderous wire cage' was a huge selling point.
