Darwin Award Winners:
1. When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a holdup in Long Beach, California, would be robber James Elliot did something that can only inspire wonder. He peered down the barrel and tried the trigger again. This time it worked..... And now, the honorable mentions:
2. The chef at a hotel in Switzerland lost a finger in a meat cutting machine and, after a little hopping around, submitted a claim to his insurance company. The company expecting negligence, sent out one of its men to have a look for himself. He tried the machine and lost a finger. The chef's claim was approved.
3. A man who shoveled snow for an hour to clear a space for his car during a blizzard in Chicago returned with his vehicle to find a woman had taken the space. Understandably, he shot her.
4. After stopping for drinks at an illegal bar, a Zimbabwean bus driver found that the 20 mental patients he was supposed to be transporting from Harare to Bulawayo had escaped. Not wanting to admit his incompetence, the driver went to a nearby bus stop and offered everyone waiting there a free ride. He then delivered the passengers to the mental hospital, telling the staff that the patients were very excitable and prone to bizarre fantasies. The deception wasn't discovered for 3 days.
5. An American teenager was in the hospital recovering from serious head wounds received from an oncoming train. When asked how he received the injuries, the lad told police that he was simply trying to see how close he could get his head to a moving train before he was hit.
6. A man walked into a Louisiana Circle-K, put a $20 ! bill on the counter, and asked for change. When the clerk opened the cash drawer, the man pulled a gun and asked for all the cash in the register, which the clerk promptly provided. The man took the cash from the clerk and fled, leaving the $20 bill on the counter. The total amount of cash he got from the drawer...$15 (If someone points a gun at you and gives you money, is a crime committed?)
7. Seems an Arkansas guy wanted some beer pretty badly. He decided that he'd just throw a cinderblock through a liquor store window, grab some booze, and run. So he lifted the cinderblock and heaved it over his head at the window. The cinderblock bounced back and hit the would-be thief on the head, knocking him unconscious. The liquor store window was made of Plexiglas. The whole event was caught on videotape.
8. As a female shopper exited a New York convenience store, a man grabbed her purse and ran. The clerk called 911 immediately, and the woman was able to give them a detailed description of the snatcher. Within minutes, the police apprehended the snatcher. They put him in the car and drove back to the store. The thief was then taken out of the car and told to stand there for a positive ID. To which he replied, "Yes, officer, that's her. That's the lady I stole the purse from."
9. The Ann Arbor News crime column reported that a man walked into a Burger King in Ypsilanti, Michigan, at 5 a.m., flashed a gun, and demanded cash. The clerk turned him down because he said he couldn't open the cash register without a food order. When the man ordered onion rings, the clerk said they weren't available for breakfast. The man, frustrated, walked away.
10. When a man attempted to siphon gasoline from a motor home parked on a Seattle street, he got much more than he bargained for. Police arrived at the scene to find a very sick man curled up next to a motor home near spilled sewage. A police spokesman said that the man admitted to trying to steal gasoline and plugged his siphon hose into the motor home's sewage tank by mistake. The owner of the vehicle declined to press charges, saying that it was the best laugh he'd ever had.

Thanks, bunni, but you have to realize these are men...er...uh, well they're male.....and in here they're are excused for being nasty idiots.
They get full support from brain dead phallic worshippers like linduh and lalalibra and this encourages them. Classless is a senile old man getting his ONLY thrills in a chat room.
Anyway , bunni, remember, the Neanderthals (linduh, libra, twelve, classless, pricklane) ....believe males are allowed to be insulting but we women should behave....very backward but what can you expect from this group. They will never realize how funny we find their quaint old-fashioned and really stupid ideas.

Everythime there is a funny post here someone like Crowfarm has to bring their totally witless comments and ruin it. I believe Men aren't the only ones with silly ideas, I know plenty of Women who are stupid, dumb, ect. so why don't you get off your FemiNazi high horse.

Quatermasss that individual is a coward... won't answer questions put to her because she deems them unworthy, however acts like a little harpy when hers don't get answered...
It transparent that strong men scare the hell out of her and she can't handle it.
Bunni, you don't like the responses... don't post the threads...

While Crowfarm retaliated, she was not the one that ruined it, Quatermass. That honor goes to classicrock000, who felt it necessary to make an attack out of the blue on Crowfarm.
It's a funny thing...some folks around here poke & dig until the person they are poking & digging at snaps back--then they post righteously, blaming that person for snapping back and telling the rest of us how bad that person is. It happens over & over in this forum and not just with Crowfarm.
Yes, Crowfarm doesn't help by retaliating as she does--but then she's been trained in a way by a few posters here until flame posts are a habit. She gives you what you want to hear, doesn't she. Poke & dig, poke & dig, poke & dig...

Not true, fenix.
Crowfarm did not arrive with a defensive attitude. This was one of Crowfarms first posts to Linda....very mild from my viewpoint.
"Oh Linda, do honestly belive all that? Yes, some is true...he doesn't think women have a right to choose what to do with their own bodies...and he did give the richest 1% of Americans a huge tax break...but Linda, please research some of those other statements, they're simply not true."
"Now, don't get your back up, I'm not here to fight or even change your mind but jeezz, girl, you need a dose of Al Francken and Big Ed Schultz. Find them on your local radio station, you may not agree with them but they'll dump facts, not just bumper sticker slogans, all over you. Try it, you might like it."
"We libs aren't all that bad (if you overlook those midnight bonfires, naked dancing, ritual murders, and vampirism).
Peace"

OK, classic, I'll play......where was the intelligent question?
Then can you tell me why you seem to think I'm nasty but you and twelve and the others don't seem to have any rules....you males post what YOU want, like ridculing women with breast cancer, and think nothing of it.
This means that YOU have a different set of rules for how women should behave.....the only problem with that is that intelligent women with BACKBONES don't pay any attention to your feeble little male voices crying in the wilderness ......
WE will decide how we act.....and this scares "men" like you and twelve and and quarterbrain..........
I will post anything I want and if you don't like it then take your own advice, ....don't be nasty, don't call names, and put me on ignore (like those two cowards, linduh and lalalibra).

Helen is correct.
When Crowfarm arrived here she made enough posts that it was easy to see she was a considerate and well-spoken person but when it was discovered that she wasn't a Bush supporter some started a targeted campaign to run her off the board and it hasn't stopped. It has been a constant onslaught of death threats, implied auction interference, stupid polls, insults, rude posts, etc ever since.
After awhile it becomes almost pointless to say anything intelligent here when one is only met with attacks, troll responses, idiocy and snide insinuations on a constant basis.

classicrock000, I second the motion! In a sensitive and understanding way, of course.
If she hates men so badly, I wonder if she had fake fangs implanted in her genitalia? That would make the 'men' around her able to tolerate her attitudes more easily.
And the other lame ass mouth breathers show up like clockwork to defend a member of their liberal puke coterie.
of you is that you're fixated on me.
