Falls to the ground. Wisps of smoke rising from a large ragged hole in the chest of his uniform. The radio, falls from his grip, hissing garbled noise.
You do realize you are threadjacking right now, right? We were having a perfectly reasonable discussion until you wandered in and turned it into an episode of The Shield.
Arrest yourself, officer.
Coughing blood, he turns his head from side to side.
Eyes suddenly and dramatically open. Breathing laboriously in short coughing spurts.
Who is there? Come closer. I'm afraid you are too late, for me anyhow. Tell my wife I love her. And one other thing I need to tell you. It is really important, whatever you do don't... don't...
A long anguished breath escapes his lips as his eyes stare blankly upwards and then he is still.

...does he even realize that Threadjack was against him?
One day, I'll have to post a picture of Mickey's Wall of Death in my office. It's our own little way of keeping track of the mice we've caught/killed in our traps.
• 1 1/2 cups cooked poodle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
Do we cook the poodle first and then cut into cubes or cut into cubes and then cook poodle?
That is an important question—and so is whether you measure before or after you cook, because, as we all know, the volume of a poodle changes dramatically during cooking.
Fortunately, professional recipe writers would write all of those things differently:
"1 1/2 cups cooked poodle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes" would mean that you'd cook the poodle, then measure it, then cut it into cubes.
"1 1/2 cups poodle, cooked, cut into 1/2-inch cubes" would mean that you'd measure the poodle and then cook it and cut it into cubes.
If they wanted you to measure the poodle, cut it into cubes and then cook it, it would be "1 1/2 cups poodle, cut into 1/2-inch cubes and cooked."
So assuming it's a professionally written recipe, it's asking for you to cook it, measure it, and then cube it.
