Was he supposed to kiss the damn thing?

At the last fair/field day I was at one of the stands was a very badly painted 2d wooden goat with rubber glove-type device which was filled with a white liquid. Children had to milk it. When your minute was up the guy measured it called out how much they milked and shouted 'Wahey!'.

It cost €1 to do this and there were a lot of ruddy-faced country children queueing to do it even though there was no prize.

I wanted to take a photo but I was afraid I'd be chased out of town.

It was possessed.

a fit of anger at what happened, his client then hit out very strongly, causing damage to the mechanism of the machine.

Um, isn't a punching bag designed to absorb...you know ...punches??

Shouldn't have hung it with a toggle bolt.

If you hit a punching bag machine hard enough to break it you deserve a prize, not a fine.

Wow, that's a whole new level of dumb.

/Should've punched the carnies also.

Of reasons to watch Dragon Tiger Gate, the world's largest punching bag is one.

So what really happened? Did the bag swing back and hit him under momentum, or did the machine actually strike a blow to him?

Sounds like Craggy Island.

They were probably afraid that the camera would eat their souls.

Sounds like that funfair they held in the Field

/well, it's not a field, really, but it has less rocks in it than most places

Punching bags only move a tiny bit, and you're never really close enough for it's range to hit you, and they also don't have mechanical parts in them. So from the sounds of it it is rigged to hit whoever is using it.

I was hoping for a screenshot of Mike Tyson's boxing game

It was just like that, minus the Tunnel of Goats.

It was a creepy feeling I had when I watched it. All I could think was "Come on now Margaret, it's time to practice Milk The Goat" from all the shiny-faced, proud fathers shaking excitedly as they watched on

Crazy ass Brits. I really wish we could see the machine in question to see what this thing does.

If they know full well the machine can strike back, then he's just an idiot for getting butt hurt and ruining the machine.

If the machine malfunctioned, they should've at least given him a discount on the bill.

I remember these from back in the day. The arm swings back down after you hit it but moves slowly when doing so.

I wonder if there was something wrong with the machine.

newer version of what I remember...

I'm beginnig to enjoy the crazy stuff that comes out of Ireland.

This would never have happened if he'd just stuck to punching cats.

 
Lampmonster [TotalFark] 2009-07-11 03:10:19 PM  
The machine hit first. Sounds like the first blows in the coming machine wars. Give him a medal and a commission. We'll need men like him.
