Priceless... reminds me of the guy that tried to play Russian Roulette with a semi-automatic handgun.

Farktard.

"Officers say it appears alcohol was a factor."

duh.

/welcome to the mr. obvious show

The ghost of Darwin is smirking.

HA HA HA HA HA HA....
Yeah I know, someone was badly burned....
HA HA HA HA HA HA HAAAAAAAA.....

Seriously, why didn't this have a Dumbass tag?

So I throw the pin, right?

Hehehe -- this story has the feel of an Onion article. What a dope.

Sgt. John Barker, Salt Lake Co. Sheriff's Office: "What an asstard!"

Sweet. F*cking. Jeebus.

That's gonna leave a mark.

Was the Sheriff standing next to an ambulance with the sirens going off? He seems to be screaming a lot.

Your head...and shaft...and balls...asplode.

A call again for the tag.

Sgt. John Barker, Salt Lake Co. Sheriff's Office: "HE'S GONNA BE IN A LOT OF PAIN. I DON'T THINK IT'S LIFE-THREATENING, BUT HE'S GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME, IT'S GONNA BE A LONG PROCESS TO GET HIM HEALED UP."


Why was he shouting?

At least when the guys in my town did this , they rolled down the window. Of course, they are dead now, so the guys in SLC got lucky.

/its cremations all around in Melbourne, FL (see previous florida tag)

Whew,
Now when I do something that's teh stoopid, I can always think to myself..."At least I'm not that guy"

all caps AND italics. He was shouting AND EMPHASIZING

binnster

I thought the same thing, yay for spending to much time on the net.

Hate to tell ya's but you can't throw a mortar. That is the tube that is used to fire a shell. Well I guess you could throw a cardboard tube, but it sure wouldn't do much and you may get cited for littering.

I would rather play Russian roulette with a semi auto, rather than full auto... I'm pretty sure that's how you're supposed to play.

semiautomatic

1.Partially automatic.

2.Ejecting a shell and loading the next round of ammunition automatically, but requiring a squeeze of the trigger for each shot.

Heh heh. The worst thing I ever did with the window rolled up was spit. That was pretty gross, but it didn't A: incinerate the car or B: give me third degree burns on my groin. The driver was pretty pissed off though.

Adam Weber is now Madam Weber.

Aterry33...your statement reminded me of one time in my youth (while drinking during a camping trip) I took out my .44 mag, put a round in the revolver, spun it and said " If I was stupid enough to play roulette, what would happen" pointing the gun toward the river I pulled the trigger. BAM
I inserted another round, spun it and pulled the trigger, BAM. I think Darwin was giving me a hint. Good times our silly youth was :P

Something like this happened to me in high school, except it was only a bottle rocket. On Independence Day, we were driving around in my folks' old Malibu wagon and the guy sitting behind me tried to launch the rocket out my (driver's) window. This slip stream blew it back in, it bounced of the windshield and hit the carpet, then went off. The carpet caught fire, but the guy riding shotgun stomped it out.

Later that night, after stopping in the woods to take a nate, the transmission linkage broke and I couldn't get the car into a forward gear. We had to drive three miles home in reverse. My folks were still up when we got home and I said I needed the other car to drive them home. Surprisingly, Mom and Dad never asked me what we were doing or punished me.

Good times.

Excellent advice!

wpmulligan, dude everyone knows you shoot your fireworks out the back windows. Hope you smacked your friend around good. What works the best is an SUV where the hatch window goes down all the way. You can fire multiple roman candles out those babies and have them bounce down the street.

/good times.

The point being, you play russian roulette with a revolver. You load one round into chamber, rotate the cylinder, and pull the trigger (hoping that the hammer strikes an empty chamber). Most revolvers have five or six chambers, so of course your odds of dying increase with each time.

The dumbass I was referring to tried playing with a semiautomatic handgun. So basically he had about a 100% chance of dying from the first shot, as opposed to a 17% or 20% chance depending on the type of revolver. Now, I'm unsure whether it's possible to space out shells in a clip--I don't think so, I've never tried though.

But then again, I've never played russian roulette either!

aterry33 Not to give any darwin-candidates ideas, but you COULD take a real bullet and mix it in with a bunch of blanks, put them in a hat, shake 'em up good and then load the magazine, thus not knowing what would come up first. Of course, the loud "bang" by your ear would probably deafen your dumb ass. But if you're stupid enough to try that, you deserve whatever you get, deaf or dead.

Was I the only one wondering if this was in Florida at first?

statmanBBB

I agree. The guy in the story I was describing simply loaded up the semi-auto and fired away. Which, I guess, is arguably as stupid as fully loading a revolver and playing russian roulette.

A Darwin award in any case...

my first thought - i bet right after that motor blew up he would have given his left nut for a scalding hot cup of McDonalds coffee to pour on his crotch.


/here all weekend - veal - tip - waitress

Must have been the Windex.
/caw, caw!

Dumber than a box of rocks

"HE'S GONNA HAVE A HARD TIME"

with third degree burns to his crotch, he's not gonna be hard for a while

What a Farkwit

aterry33
a revolver IS a type of semiautomatic handgun.


/anal retentive

burns on arms, legs, and torso

Roasted nuts, anyone?

didn't this guy blow off his arm the other day?

if you mixed blanks with bullets and put the gun to your head, you'd still get extreme burns on your head. in your ear. no hair left. you'd probably turn out like two-face from batman.



/to the batcave

JackMove, ahh but only if it is dual action.

/I's likes mes guns.

JackMove

Talk about being anal retentive. The whole point was:

Chambering a round in a six-shot revolver and playing russian roulette is... stupid.

Loading a clip into your glock and doing the same thing is... benefitting the gene pool.

I remember this old show called Maximum Exposure (Max X) and they showed stuff like people getting hit in the face with parrots and stuff like that. They had a video of a mortar going off in a moving car one time... it was pretty neat looking, but the people in the car weren't hurt as badly.

I don't care who you are. That is funny.

Some advice for you younger Farkers: If & when you're pulled over by a member of your local police force & he sarcastically asks you, "Why don't you just go & set the
!@#%ing things off in you own homes?"...

...think twice before you answer with something like, "Gee Officer, don't you think that'd be REALLY dangerous?"

/just a tip from uncle cleveoh

For all of you talking about roulette- I knew someone who was killed with a 22 shot into the head. Chances are you wouldn't be able to see burns because the skull and face cave in. I did not see this personally but heard it from someone who, viewed the body before the casket was sealed.

Eric Hexum (sp?), washed up TV actor, killed himself in the 90's playing Russian Roulette with blanks. The powder blast sent a skull fragment spinning through his gray matter.
