Honestly, thats just pretty sad. Hope this guy gets the help and support it sounds like he needs.

/and maybe a present?

Actually, I didn't guess that he set his mobile home on fire.

However, I *did* guess alcohol was involved.

Well that's exactly why we won't give you anything, Larry. You idiot.

Shouldn't he be setting someone else's mobile home on fire, as revenge?

/say, Santa's?

Damn, guess that fire extinguisher I sent him as a gift didn't get there in time.

I know what he's wishing for next year.

This is why he can't have nice things.

carrot: This is why he can't have nice things.

I laughed. Well done.

Well, what did you expect him to do with that lump of coal?

I found his long lost brother in Florida - HERE (new window)

carrot: This is why he can't have nice things.

I was going to say something like this.
Maybe no one got him anything because every time he gets his panties in a bunch he burns his house down or sets fire to the present he just got. I guess it's a double edge sword though.

Last year:
"Here's your present."
"WRONG COLOR!!"
*sets fire to house*

This year:
"I didn't get you anything because it was the wrong color last year and you spazed."
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRGARBLE!!!"
*sets fire to house*

*sigh*

It looks like my family traditions have spread...

What a drama queen.

Nothing like a classy family. I called my brother on Christmas; they had lost power and I think he'd had a few beverages. When I asked how he was doing, his response " I had to throw the mutherfkin' turkey in the fkin' snow on fkin' Christmas, n shiat!! How do ya think I'm doin?" BTW, we have different fathers, or at least that's my story.

Why didn't he hold his breath until his face turned blue?

It worked for the banks who wanted bailout money.

FTA:

Police Corporal Charles Bagsby Jr., a spokesman, said the trailer in Theodore went up in flames around 2:30 p.m. Thursday.

Officers charged 45-year-old Lawrence Edward Lee of Theodore with reckless endangerment and public intoxication.

...

It was not clear if Bagsby had a lawyer Friday afternoon.

Why would the police spokesman need a lawyer?

Well that will learn em!

liberalish: Honestly, thats just pretty sad. Hope this guy gets the help and support it sounds like he needs.

/and maybe a present?

I spend so much time on fark mocking the misfortune of others... but this really touched me, so yeah, I hope he gets some presents.

/lonely, depressed and pyromaniacal is no way to go through life...

"It was not clear if Bagsby had a lawyer Friday afternoon."

Great reporting work Lou.

Begoggle: "It was not clear if Bagsby had a lawyer Friday afternoon."

Great reporting work Lou.

Wouldn't he want a lawyer for more than just Friday afternoon?

I didn't get any Xmas presents either, but you don't see me acting out Talking Heads lyrics.

I live in a doublewide, so I'm really getting a kick out of...

No really. We do. Just moved in about a month ago. It's actually kinda nice. Much nicer than any of the apartments we were in, and it's nice not living with the other-half's parents anymore, too. And best of all, it was actually affordable.

Some people mock mobile homes. But there are actually nice ones, believe it or not.

/then again, I got presents, so I didn't have to burn mine down

Frank Stallone?

GizmoMkI: I didn't get any Xmas presents either, but you don't see me acting out Talking Heads lyrics.

Ditto.

BIG WIN

Sweet. Another opportunity to post this:

dannyvice: Flori

Came for the Florida tag, leaving only somewhat disappointed.

Guess he didn't find the puppy his sister hid in his closet

Poor man. Reading that made me feel so bad. Hope he gets into a rehab ASAP.

I didn't get any presents, as I insist that no one give me any. Why? Long story, but that's just the way I want it. The only presents I give are for the kids in the family and kids of friends. This seems to piss off friends and family, and I'm sorry, so get over it.

This is also the main reason I've been spending christmas alone the past several years. I just don't want to participate in the yule bull shait. Had a very nice couple of days, btw.

birdistasty:

Yup. I've lived in a pretty decent mobile home for a decade now. Beats any of the apartments I've lived in & my current home is paid for. My neighbors are cool. No obnoxious crackheads or anything. Just friendly, normal people. I don't mind it at all.

Talking with someone at work who told about someone (an adult) who complained to her about not getting a gift, and yet he didn't give her a gift. It was reportedly the mother's boyfriend.
