#4 - Classic pedal misapplication. They will swear to the cops and their insurance company that they had their foot on the brake pedal just as hard as they could. They all do.
Those aren't trebuchets, nor any other replica medieval weapon - they didn't have rubber.
A trebuchet is NOT a generic name for catapult, but a particular kind of catapult. It's a throwing arm mounted on a rather high pivot, powered by a huge counterweight on the opposite end. Winch the throwing end down to the ground, which hoists the counterweight up in the air, arrange the sling and load it with something, then suddenly release it so the counterweight runs the throwing end high in the sky, with the sling going even higher. The big ones could throw a dead horse hundreds of yards, accurately enough to put that dead animal in the cistern.
#9 - reminds me of the video clip of a college baseball game where a home run went over the fence and then into the open window of a car driving along a street just outside the fence.
Classic Monday goodness! #5 reminds me of a high school chum from 50 years ago who was looking at a girl in a bikini on a tractor and he ran off the road and smashed his car up into the porch of a house and made the front page of the newspaper. He had a cast on his nose the next day at school.
by now you think I would know better than to take a sip of coffee while looking at this. didn't spit any out, but had a hard time trying to breathe there for a minute or two.
I never did see the utility of spending a grand for a phone. I have gotten to the 21st century and have a smartphone, but it only cost a hundred bucks, it is an android phone, and for 3 lines, we spend 80$ a month. We don't have a landline, it seems like a pointless thing nowadays. But with the new Iphones going for over 1000$ or much more, I could never justify that. Hell, I can't even justify spending that much for a carry gun, that I use to defend my life and that of my loved ones. It is just a lot of money to spend on a single item.
IIRC my phone cost about 250. It's a Samsung Android but doesn't have the latest fifteen gigapixel camera. Spending that kind of cash for a phone never seemed 'smart' to me.

ReplyDeleteExactly. Human stupidity knows no bounds.
Deleteit looks like he filled it with "extra-high" octane and displayed his skill at the maneuver called "short-field take-off over obstacle"
DeleteYou just can't fix stupid... you just can't!!!
ReplyDeleteYou can silence it with duct tape.....
Delete...and a bow-saw, garbage bags, and a 9-inch auger....
Delete#7 We built trebuchets with the boy scouts. No watermelons though.
ReplyDeleteJust another good weapon to have around the house.
That had to take a few teeth with it,

ReplyDelete#2 That wouldn't have happened if you stuck to sucking dick. Good news though, I know how you can get another phone. :)
ReplyDelete#3. Sometimes it's just better to take the penalty stroke.
ReplyDelete#7. That's gonna leave a mark!
#6 I can't stop laughing....
ReplyDelete#5 - douchebag or not, that can fucking kill you. That guy was out cold!

#2 is kind of cute, in 'a single wide trailer, going to spend my next paycheck on another tattoo' kind of way.
ReplyDelete#1: If only there was some other way that three people could have transported that food.
ReplyDelete#3 and #5: There's a non zero chance somebody died.
#10: Very Napoleon Dynamite.
#1 My guess is they were going for some kind of record, like the Guinness Book, or some local contest. There is no other reason to do that.
Delete#3– Should have used a 3 wood…… they float…
ReplyDelete#7. Who filmed this…Zapruder..?
ReplyDeleteThe melon pink spray reminds me of. “Back and to the Left!”
