Australian rugby league star facing the sack after simulating sex with a dog....

Idiot

The guys a moron, and has been in trouble before, but wow mate... Top work

In reply to daeman:

Well, at least it was simulated.

Spent much time around rugby players? Sounds about par for the course in my experience.

I grew up pre-internet, way out in the country, not near any of my friends, in the days when long distance telephone cost about about 50 cents a minute unless you called after 11:00p.

I was never bored enough to even consider ingesting some of the crap that people will try smoking or drinking. How uncomfortable do you have to be in your own skull that you'll do dumb E36 M3 like that just to keep from having to entertain yourself some other way?

I went to rehab with a guy that supposedly got booted from the Navy for drinking torpedo fuel.

But they want their blood to be high octane

This week's winner: Hamas. Have these guys never heard of photoshop?

In other news: Apparently Brazil is stranger than Florida.

What's dumber than putting yourself in danger and giving a despotic regime your tourist money by traveling to North Korea?

Answer: Traveling to North Korea and then stealing some cheap bit of hotel decoration, giving the regime an excuse to do this to you:

In reply to GameboyRMH:

When I was in China there was a book in the room that described the area. Each page was half English and half Mandarin.

I took the book to the front desk and asked, "How much?" Front desk clerk said "No sale, please wait." The manager came over and said "Sir, please take with our compliments. We will replace when you check out no charge."

Lesson: When in countries that are known for jailing tourists for stupid E36 M3, sometimes it is better to get permission than ask for forgiveness.

He's still a moron.

Dude, should we go to Daytona and party on spring break?

Nah.

How about Telluride, ski bunnys dude?

Nah.

How about a nasty little cesspool of a country on the far side of the world with nothing whatever to redeem itself?

Perfect!!

Moron.

**I say this knowing full well there are good people in NK, it's an attempt at humor and mocking the leadership of said despotic regime

This weeks winner, on many levels: http://www.11alive.com/features/trending-today/man-loses-leg-after-shooting-lawmower-full-of-explosives/99971283

Cliffs: Dude trying to make "tacticool" video, apparently doesn't know how his weapon operates (see video) and can't hit the broad side of a barn or, in this case, a lawn mower filled with explosives . . . so he moves closer and tries again. Mayhem ensues. NSFW for explosions/blood and probably language (no sound, so I can't tell you for sure)

My grandpa was in the army in the Pacific in ww2. He told a story of an Indian in his company that would siphon gas and mix it with milk to get drunk.

In reply to kazoospec:

That guy ain't "tacticool," he's "Tachichili." And Chili ain't never been cool.

Feds leave explosives on a school bus after a training exercise. I can hear it now, "I thought you were supposed to pick up the bomb when we were done."

Was impressed even for the feds...

This week's winner: http://www.foxnews.com/us/2016/05/08/flight-delayed-when-math-mistaken-for-terrorism-by-passenger.html?intcmp=hpbt4

Now don't get me wrong, I've often felt math was a form of terrorism.

still me

In reply to kazoospec:

The whole "If you see something, say something" campaign does not work when a good portion of the population has the mental capacity approaching that of an over ripe melon.

Calculus is scary.

A local moron:Stupid Hurts...

My son walked by just before they started their hootus-swinging match, heard a bunch of yelling and horns honking, and left before they locked down the school. Apparently one of the contestants made his own illegal parking place so Snowflake wouldn't have to walk more than ten steps.

Kind of surprised they're not hammering this moron with a felony or two.

This week, I nominate: Myself.

Had the following conversation with a fellow driver at this weekend's autocross:

I'm running start. He pulls up, grinning from ear to ear.

Him: "Just kicked out my passenger and was 2 seconds faster on the last run."

Me: "Good Lord, who was your passenger, Fat Albert?"

Him: "No, my wife."

Me: "Oh"

I was going to nominate myself for hitting on the cashier at the dealership, as I bought nozzles and check valves for my wipers. It's going to take a lot more than a 93 miata to sway a redhead who stares at a Saleen mustang all day

As long as you're not already with someone, I fail to see why that was a mistake. It's not like you lose anything if she says no, and it sounds like she was worth risking a rejection.
