awww... I could have been that kid. I raised snakes as a child. I understand the appeal. I wasn't as lucky as him though, having been bitten a few times. very very scary.

You're not that much into self-preservation, are you, BigV?

Meh, safety is over-rated.

BigV · 12-20-2012, 10:18 PM

hahahahahaha

Hey... probably there's a different/better thread for this one, but I'm here, now, and it does qualify as weird.

Check out this vehicle.

Sharks! Crocs! venomous jellyfish!

Nope, just a #$%& garfish stabbing someone in the ear.

Quote:

Julie Fison, 46, was swimming chest-deep at Port Douglas [Far North Queensland, north of Cairns; ZG] in September when the garfish leapt up and plunged a 2.5cm barb into her eardrum.

Mrs Fison, a children's adventure book writer, is still recovering from surgery.

"It was excruciating - it hit me hard enough in the head to make me collapse and bleed out of my ear," the mother of two said.

She was left with facial palsy - unable to smile or blink on one side of her face - for more than a month after the barb perforated the eardrum and penetrated a facial nerve near her brain.

It took three hours of surgery at Cairns Base Hospital to remove the barb and she has since made numerous trips to ear specialists, physio sessions, an ophthamologist and now a speech therapist - and yet she still suffers hearing loss in her left ear.

It is now OK to fire a woman if you can't keep your weinie in your pants. Well, it might be a bit more complicated than that, but still...

Not sure how to copy/paste from my phone. It is a recent Iowa Supreme Court ruling. I saw it on CNN.

footfootfoot · 12-23-2012, 06:52 PM

I read that article. If only it were also ok to divorce your wife because your secretary was really hot...

ZenGum · 12-23-2012, 07:02 PM

If the presence of a hot secretary is a threat to a marriage, that marriage is in big trouble regardless of what is done about the secretary.

So Iowa has decreed that men aren't responsible for controlling themselves. Wait ... I'm confused. What've we been trying to do in Afghanistan all these years, again?

All right, the woman and her lawyer brought the lawsuit under the wrong grounds; it wasn't a case of gender discrimination. The Supreme Court didn't have a lot of options with the case as it was presented. And if the woman was too stupid to recognize her boss's comments as sexual harrassment ...

I'm not sure this will work, but if not - check CNN for 'Irresistible worker' stories.

Thanks Ortho.

And you're right. Wrong charges...weird case.

How can it be permissible?
She compromise my principle, yeah, yeah
That kind of love is mythical
She's anything but typical

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Her loving is so powerful, huh!
It's simply unavoidable
The trend is irreversible
The woman is invincible

She's a natural law and she leaves me in awe
She deserves the applause, I surrender because
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
Simply irresistible

Simply irresistible she's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible she's all mine, there's no other way to go

She's unavoidable, I'm backed against the wall
She gives me feelings like I never felt before
I'm breaking promises, she's breaking every law
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Simply irresistible
She's so fine, there's no tellin' where the money went
Simply irresistible, she's all mine
There's no other way to go!

Her methods are inscrutable
The proof is irrefutable, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
She's so completely kissable, huh
Our lives are indivisible

She's a craze you'd endorse, she's a powerful force
You're obliged to conform when there's no other course
She used to look good to me, but now I find her

Now here's a headline:

Drunk man arrested driving stolen car on runway

Quote:

"We don't know why he took the car, these are things you do when you're drunk," Mr Muller said, adding that the man would "take a while to get sober".

Oh yeah, when I was there beer was considered a soft drink. I used to buy two-litre bottles of ready mixed gin and tonic for a couple of bucks. And it was good.
