Dad?

1001 things to do before you die: Near-naked man with exploding firecrackers in his bike helmet runs amok in main street

Put that last on the list.

Sounds like a typical college dare to me.

Bucket List?

Project Badass?

Nothing on TV?

Before I die? This is something I want to do before dinner.

Sounds like a hell of an idea for a Halloween costume

non exploding firecrackers aren't near as much fun.

Near-nude man runs down street firing crackers from head

I need to get me one of them cracker projectile helmets

I wonder if alcohol was involved?

Amok! Amok! Amok!

"Who would think something like this would happen from harmless flares and roman candles?"

I was wondering exactly how one would fire crackers from one's head.

So let me get this straight. He disrobed, lit a pack of firecrackers, put them in a helmet and then on his head????? Wouldn't it have been much easier to simply load a gun then point and shoot?

mreuther: Amok! Amok! Amok!

Came for THIS

This same man will be voting in 8 days...

Oh, Mt Isa.
nuff saud.

mreuther: Amok! Amok! Amok!

a hit, a very palpable hit.

Well if he wore a helmet he wasn't very naked, was he?

Was it Rex Kramer- Danger seeker?

I mean we are the same country that elected BUSH...

/facepalm

This is even weirder than the headline suggests:

1. He was apparently uninjured.
2. They arrested him.
3. He made bail.

How do you make bail? Do you stuff bail money (and ID) in your helmet with your firecrackers? How do you do this without hurting yourself?

Well...it's better than this dude's idea of celebrating.

AnotherDisillusionedCollegeStudent: Project Badass?

Haha. that's exactly what I thought of.

People in Australia usually don't vote in US elections.

mreuther: Amok! Amok! Amok!

why is it so hard to find a clip of that on the net?
the internets has truly failed me (or would that be have?)

Yay, Sunny references!

Unless, like me, they are US citizens. :-) But I didn't go running amok in Mt Isah with fire crackers shooting from my bike helmet, so don't worry...

There's not a helluva lot to do for entertainment in Mt Isah - sounds to me like this guy could be mayor, with that kinda out-of-the-box thinking...

Surrounded by nothing even if you do count crocodiles, birds & water buffalo.
crocodiles? seriously WTF dude. Your Geography, it is not where you think it is.

wtf... i feel ripped off. I expected to see 8 more things to do.

Fon_Win: wtf... i feel ripped off. I expected to see 8 more things to do.

I expected some list of weird police reports spanning 10 pages.

Approves, albeit rectally.

/hot, like da balloon knot

and all i got was this lousy Tshirt.

Sounds like your typical Fark troll to me.

It probably IS something you do before dinner.

Are you talking to me? Do you not know that Mt Isa is surrounded by birds, water buffalo and crocodiles? Or do you think that it floats somewhere in outer space?

/I've been to Mt Isa
//It is surrounded by lots and lots of wilderness, which contains birds, water buffalo and crocodiles

hahahaha, are you shiatting me? Water buffalo, in MOUNT ISA? Where, pray tell, would I be finding these? Ploughing all the rice paddy fields?

I was born there and spent 24 of my 27 years in that town and never once did I see a water buffalo. Plenty of beef cattle, though.

Oh, and yes there are crocodiles -- but freshwater crocs. Smaller and less aggressive than the saltwater ones.

Seems to me Mount Isa keeps getting media attention for all the wrong reasons. Mayor makes stupid comments about ugly women, lead contamination scares, now this. Oy.

/is glad she left and went to Tamworth
//yeehaw!

Here the judge grants you bail if he/she so chooses, it's not something you get after you cough up some money.

I am deeply saddened by the lack of video of this. If a guy's going to put his own health at risk for public amusement, there should at least be a video of it up on the internet.

Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the term "SURROUNDED BY". I did not say there were water buffalo and/or crocodiles IN Mt Isa, I said it was SURROUNDED by a whole lot of NOTHING, unless you include those critters. There are water buffalo and crocodiles and birds in the SURROUNDING LAND AROUND Mt Isa. Geddit?

/sheesh! Some Aussies are a little slow on the uptake - must be from being born in Mt Isa (I keed, I keed!)
