So they dumped the body at the dump?

If people cut up the plastic rings around coke cans before they threw them away, this could have been prevented!

+1 for the men at work reference.

Well, white boy's testicles are great to treat apendicitis, and my grandfather used to eat one white boy's eye a day to help him with his urinal problems.

Based upon the limited data here is my bogus analysis. The recent flooding saturated the garbage (which inappropriately contained metallic oxides from computer parts) to release a substantial cloud of AsO4 from which this guy inhaled and died. Case closed.

Remember the days when the Sikh husband would roll up the wife, that he no longer wanted, in a carpet and dumped it at the landfill?

lionfish almost means Mean at Work: 5:00 mark.

Maybe it's a cliche.

landfill worker found dead in landfill

Would been really suspicious if they found him dead in a bakery.

Does anyone check to make sure there's only one body in a grave before they backfill?

 
Planterz 2008-08-23 06:22:32 PM  
Two brothers... One speaks no English, the other learned English from watching "The Wide World of Sports." So you tell me... Which is better, speaking no English at all, or speaking Howard Cosell?

ASO4 = Atropine Sulfate (medical antidote)? An antidote killing someone, hmm i don't know seems kind of weak for a conclusion. I guess if we are going to start arm chair quarterbacking possible reason for his death that are related to potential hazards at a landfill site im am going with a crack in the clay seal which allowed H2S to linger in concentrations that proved to be lethal. But then again it could be from any number of health issues this guy might have had, bad teeth can kill you - ya know. Suprised more brits haven't died already from this, prolly a cover up.

Meh, they should be glad they even FOUND this guy. You ever seen a landfill? You couldn't find the USS Nimitz in there unless you were really lucky. This boy must have floated to the top on a plume of methane.

 
squeez cheez 2008-08-23 06:40:56 PM  
I love when Lane is ready to take on the Cosell brothers and coolly lowers his window as if it were powered - even though it isn't. And the best scene ever is outside the dance when Ricky tries to chase his lost balloon into the sky. I tear up in laughter every time. Maybe it's just me though.

My grandma dropped acid this morning, and she freaked out. She hijacked a busload of penguins. So it's sort of a family crisis.

THIS!

Small pathetic jump

I am at work so I am limited as to where I can surf and what I can post...so no picture..... but while the BOD Camaro is cool, my vote for greatest movie car goes to The Bandit's Trans-Am. I mean, it was bird dogging for bootleg Coors. Coors! Bootleg even!

/Just kidding Coors sucks

I was actually talking about volatile arsenic; after you posted I realized AsO4 is also an acronym for atropine sulfate. Chemistry nomenclature is weird like that. There is so much shiat stewing in landfills that it is no wonder that unrecognized toxins are created all the time.
