Well no kidding. You're supposed to kill it first.

/dnrtfa

just a wee bit of time spent googling "fire pit accident" gives one the distinct impression that this is not a healthy way to prepare food.

I smell a Hayden Christensen role.

Bathia_Mapes: Mmmm...long pig.

Goddamn it. I came here to post those exact words. I'll eat your liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Well that isn't kosher.

Do we even need to ask if Alcohol was involved??

"Hey, watch this.. OH, Hold my Beer."

One news station said his hands and feet were burned off before rescuers were finally able to pull him out of the pit. Ouch.

Where the hell would you get a barbecue you can't climb out of? A funeral home?

So...... what happened to the pig?

/hungry

Indolent: You know who else had a barbecue you couldn't climb out of...

Sorry. Couldn't pass that one up.

Wow. Any subject can be Godwin'ed, can't it?

/well played

If they cremate what is left of his remains does he get a discount?

Hate to play Debbie Downer, but that's one farked up way to die. I can't imagine what he was thinking after he fell in. The screams, the smell. Damn.

So it Long Pork is on the menu tonight?

Whatthefark: I can't imagine what he was thinking after he fell in.

I imagine it was much like: OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW OW

The guy did have a killer barbecue.

So...did they salvage the pork?

Pit-barbecued pig is the third most delicious meat I have ever tasted.

I bet he was black

Stick a fork in him, he's done.

Was this guy one of the first two?

Before, or both?

After...

/what I get for deleting half and starting over.

That's what you get for killing a defenseless animal.

Nah, I've enjoyed eating defenseless animals tons of times and haven't been burned alive even once.

Dude, just because someone tells you to DIAF...

The "after" part was the bet, but it did flirt with a racist overtone.
I lived in Phoenix and the neighborhood in the story is predominantly white. So going with the odds I suspect the guy was likely white and middle class. I used Google earth to look at the area before I made my Boobies. At the named intersection there are business on three sides. There is new housing on the NW corner. Resolution in the photo is good and I was looking to see if the fire pit happened to be in place at the time the photo was taken. I didn't see it but due to the size of the lots in that area I'm leaning toward the image of the large unfinished yard right on that corner as being the place it might have been later built.
/I also bet this guy never does it again.

I'm going out on a limb here and say there's a possibility alchohol was involved.
At every step of the process.
Starting with digging the pit.

Well, I guess alcohol would have made him a lot more flammable. Or maybe inflammable.

Pfff, party pooper. His death screams must've spoiled the festive atmosphere.

Watched a retarded man fall into a firepit that was all coals by then. He fell on his back, and what's the instinctive thing to do in that situation for the thinking impaired? Roll over and push yourself up....

He rolled over in coals. After we fished him out, his flesh was sloughing off and we had to take away his gin and milk drink to force him into the car for the trip to the hospital/morgue.

You can't even say it's a cool story bro, it's a hot one. Now go set up the lawn rings we are playing Jarts.

Clearly, you must be getting a kick.

Was this dude a midget? I mean really, a three foot deep hole?
Maybe some one slapped a cast iron grill down on him...

Proof that men really are pigs.

"I gonna open up my own place. Open my own restaurant and get away from you people. I gonna open up a restaurant with two smoking sections: Ultra and Regular, ok? And we're not gonna have any tables or any chairs or any napkins. None of that pussy shiat. Just a big wide open black space. And all we're gonna serve is raw meat, right on the bone! And only men are going to eat there, naked men, sitting around a big giant camp fire, and no men's room either. You have to piss, you mark your territory like a wolf! And if some guy has a heart attack from eating too much meat, fark him, we throw him in the fire! More meat for the other meat-eaters! Yeah!"

/there ya go
//I'm sure someone will prove that Bill Hicks did it better

WTF is with the vertical firepit.... how the fark would work? The only reason a vertical smoker works is that you have air at the bottom that can be drawn up like chimney. Obviously he somehow got a fire burning in there since it killed him. Inquiring minds want to know.

/Also, how the fark could people not get him out in time... a proper firepit should only be around 200 degrees, right? That's only 10 degrees hotter than McDonalds coffee. Oh wait... nevermind.

Meat's meat, and a man's got to eat...

So, no proper amount of water or hose that can reach the pit?

Alexander Hergensheimer approves

What a farking nightmare. Your heart has to go out to everybody who was there.

/you Farkers remember what your hearts iz, right?

I've said a prayer to St. Lawrence Link (new window) for him.

Was the guy a midget? The article states the hole was 3 or 4 feet deep, and he couldn't get out. Unless he fell in all the way right in the center of the pit, how could he not get out?

btr3924: So, no proper amount of water or hose that can reach the pit?

Water is the worst thing to throw on a hot bed of coals like that. Which I think they tried.

Turns the hot coals into one hot mess of steam, which burns the body much better than the coals themselves.

Maybe the hole was only a few feet wide and he fell into it head first?
As accidental deaths go, you really couldn't PLAN a more horrible way to die.

/Unless it involved piranhas or bees.

have you ever tried to climb out of a pit of fire after landing face first in it?
