Idiot of The Day
Wednesday 6th April 2011:
Cyclist biking in the suicide/center turn lane in the pouring rain on an extremely busy road WHICH HAS CYCLE LANES. WTF are you thinking? I'm thinking maybe he was high. No helmet, no lights/reflectors/bright clothing, but a very soggy (gray) wooly hat almost covering his eyes.
Today's spot is open for nominations.......
OK I'mm'a risk burning in hell by nominating an aquaintance who is too po'/drunk to feed her kids properly, but just got them a puppy. And is now appealing on facebook for a free crate because she works and school starts again next week and it isn't housetrained.
People are idiots.
no shit?
That's why they have the Darwin awards. . .
Yebbut the cyclist was still alive last I saw him.....
Well ya shoulda back up and had another go then.
She could feed them the puppy....
Idiot of the Day for about April 25, 2011:
An acquaintance of mine informed me the other day not to eat canned 'french cut' green beans. Because they will keep you from getting an erection. I asked, How?. He doesn't know. It's "something they put in there" that does it.
I asked him about cream style corn, and he said I was being stupid.

Well, I thought this guy was gonna be my Idiot Of The Day, instead it turns out it's me. The IdiotOTD, I mean.
I saw this guy and wondered 'what's he hawking, Ku Klux Klan cereal?', and about a hundred yards up the road I thought 'you dumbass, he's supposed to be a slice of pizza.' He's standing directly in front of a Papa John's, after all.
I'm a ijit sometimes.
:lol: @ Gravdigr. Honestly, I can't tell what he is either. So, yeah, you ain't an idiot cuz I ain't no idiot! Well, that's what I'm wishing. :D
yeah, I'd never eat pizza that looked like that. If I weren't tripping on bad acid.
Well at least it isn't false advertising.:sick:

Man Reports Kitten Attack

Officer Finds Kitten 'Calm'
Its not from the Onion, believe it or not
A 24-year-old man called police to report that a kitten attacked him on Thursday, investigators said. The incident was reported at about 4 p.m. Thursday in the 5500 block of Meadowood Drive. According to a police report, the man told an officer that he found the kitten in a wood pile behind his house. An officer said the man told him he grabbed the kitten "and tied to tie a string around the kitten's neck," prompting the kitten to bite him on the thumb. The man showed the officer a puncture through the top and bottom of his thumb. "Both punctures were minor, with little bleeding," part of the police report read. The officer said the kitten was very calm and wasn't aggressive unless provoked when he saw the animal.
The kitten was taken to the Speedway Street Department.

I guess he cleared the house.
When the newlyweds got back home, they decided to engage in a little house clearing practice, in case their home was ever invaded. They had done this before. Joshua Beasley had completed a gun safety course, and felt as though he knew how to handle firearms safely. As he entered the kitchen where Alaina stood by the sink, she pointed her finger at him, pretending to have a gun. Joshua Beasley shouldered his shotgun and pulled the trigger...
Besides, you shouldn't dry fire your weapon anyway.
Wow. What a bunch of fucking morons. Where the hell in Nebraska do they live that they are so worried about having to defend their home with a shotgun that they practice it?
These "tactical" obsessed people bother me. The knife world has a huge audience for tactical knives. Few of these guys have any sort of fighting training, and almost none have any actual hand to hand combat experience. Yet they believe they would actually be able to use their fighting knife (or 14" bowie) to defend themselves.
I'm sure I'll be a hypocrite and sell tactical knives to any and everyone. Maybe I'll also include information on where to get proper training.
Maybe that's why my father never let me learn how to shoot a gun. So, I carried a knife instead. :rolleyes: :lol: Don't worry, I had pepper spray on me at the time too....hmm...and a taser? :lol: Just a background story of why, I had night classes back in college and there were recent rape incidents at the time. Back then, the campus was rather empty by the time I got out of classes.

Actress Kim Delaney Disheveled, Disoriented at Dinner Honoring Robert Gates
“Army Wives” actress gets escorted off stage at the National Constitution Center Thursday
Longtime actress Kim Delaney, star of the popular television series “Army Wives,” was escorted off stage at the National Constitution Center Thursday night after delivering a stilted, and at times unintelligible, speech for the Liberty Medal Award presentation to Former Defense Secretary Robert Gates.
It is unclear what was wrong with the television star, but she appeared disheveled as she struggled to read a speech, which partly described her character’s role on Army Wives, off of the teleprompter.
“As I try to comfort wives, husbands, families, fathers, children...loved ones, made good, what I’ve learned is the Constitution Center,” Delaney says.
Delaney’s long pauses and jumbled sentences were cut off when a voiceover came on and an employee wearing a head set came on the stage and walked Delaney away.
http://www.nbcphiladelphia.com/news/local/Whats-Wrong-With-Kim-Delaney-130402588.htmlToo bad. I like her. She's had problems with alcohol in the past, and it's got to be really humiliating for her to fail in public like that.
On NYPD Blue, she played a cop w/drinking problem.
Sad. Pretty, too.
Why are the pretty ones always crazy?
Looks like she cannot see the words. Perhaps she just needs glasses...
Spexx, SPEXX!!!!
Here is an explanation for you, Grav:
[YOUTUBE]5zADosF3XoQ[/YOUTUBE]
It looked a little like either she couldn't read something on the prompter and she lost her hairbrush or she got into a scuffle with the makeup artist in the green room and then began to have a light burtation and mild darist darison.
On the contrary, I think she loves seahorses, and she loves lookin’ at em, and she loves seashells. She loves seashell things. She loves things with seashells and seahorses on 'em like blankets and towels and little bags. She loves em.

What a fucking dick.
I get what he's saying.
Those of us outside America who had regularly experienced terrorism did have this kind of reaction. The Police, the Armed Forces , the taxi drivers and builders and fast food delivery people who died during The Troubles didn't seem to impact America.
The children, the shoppers, the school-aged musicians didn't excite much disgust.
The veterans lined up to acknowledge their fallen comrades and then bombed by their own countrymen didn't get enough attention - because how much could ever be enough?
11 September was a horrific act of terrorism. Like any terrorist act, it hit and hurt people who had nothing to do with the politics or situation that inspired it. Innocent people died, and died horribly. People who are sworn to serve did serve. And many went above and beyond. And even those that didn't, and lived, have terrible memories to live with.
I had a friend who used to volunteer with the Red Cross. She witnessed the aftermath of a plane crash. Even though she knew her input on that day helped immensely, she quit after that. She simply could not live day to day in the knowledge that she might face that again.
So on review, I don't agree with the article above.
He lives in Iowa City.
He lives in America.
I can't send him back in time to Belfast as it was. But even if he went now, and interviewed police, ambulance drivers, firemen, builders, taxi drivers, pizza delivery people, school children, etc etc he'd understand what it is like to live in fear of your life. And to do that and still keep on in your average wage job makes you a fucking hero in my mind.
If he wants to use the term pathetic and spoiled for his countrymen then that is his right.
I'd respect him far more if he went somewhere dangerous enough to juxtapose that.
Otherwise it's just whining.
I'd agree with that Sundae. Though, I think what made 9/11 so shocking was the scale of it as well. Had something of that magnitude happened during the Troubles I think the whole world would have looked on in horror and shock. Instead it was the drip drip of constant smaller scale attacks across decades.
True dat.
But I suggest it made day to day life appalling.
I don't know how you guys stood up to that. The assholes over here who funded them didn't get it until 9/11. I still remember going out the Saint Patricks Day after 9/11 and the band refusing to play a rebel song. We make such a media circus out of everything over here that things cease to be real. Remembering how over-blown the Beltway Sniper was vs the Belfast bombings when both are pretty remote from me leaves me looking for perspective.
I still say he's a fucking dick.
He's still single, I should hope? The way Michael Newdow is single, though preferably without issue?
Not checked for truthiness...

A Florida couple was on a weekend camping trip that ended in an airlift to the emergency room.
Steven Egan, 52, was hunting with his girlfriend, Lisa Simmons, in the northern part of the state when he mistook her for a hog and shot her.
"He saw a hog and thought he shot it and went to look for it," Maj. Steve Clair of the Flagler County Sheriff's Office told ABC News. "He heard her and thought it was a hog and just shot."
The mistake was not actually related to her appearance. Rather, Egan had earlier shot at a hog that continued to evade him. He reportedly instructed Simmons to stay at their campsite while he pursued the evasive animal, according to the Flagler County Sheriff's Office However, Simmons ventured away from the campsite, apparently searching for oranges that had fallen from nearby trees.
When Egan heard rustling in the woods, he fired in her direction without first making visual confirmation with his intended target. Instead, Simmons was struck in the legs by a .30-caliber bullet from Egan's gun. She was airlifted to the nearby Halifax Health Medical Center where she is listed as being in serious condition.
Authorities say they aren't planning to charge Egan in the accidental shooting.
"He was very sympathetic that he'd shot his girlfriend," Maj. Clair said. "It was an accident. I think it was just a violation of one of the cardinal rules of hunting which is you never shoot what you don't see."
Idjit.

Drinking hand sanitizing gel? You're kidding, right? Nope, not kidding.
The California Poison Control System has received 60 reports of teenagers drinking hand sanitizer since 2010, showing the dangerous trend is not unique to Los Angeles.
Hand sanitizer, which has 62% ethyl alcohol, produces a potent drink that can cause alcohol poisoning. Some of the cases involve teenagers who used salt to separate out the alcohol.
There were also 147 cases involving children ages 6 to 12 and 2,180 cases ages 0 to 5, believed to have accidentally ingested the gel, according to poison control service, part of the UC San Francisco's Department of Clinical Pharmacy.

An Indiana police chief’s day ended with a bang when he accidentally shot himself in the leg on Saturday – the second time in his career that he’s turned his own gun on his body.
David Councellor is running to become Fayette County’s new sheriff, but he chose the wrong way to make headlines when he unintentionally discharged his 40-caliber Glock handgun while perusing other firearms at a local gun shop.
A 33-year veteran of the Connersville Police Department, Councellor had taken his Glock out to compare it to another gun in the store. When he tried putting the gun back into his holster, he found himself shooting his own thigh.
“I need to pay more attention,” Counceller said to the Palladium-Item. “I know what the dangers are. It was pure carelessness on my part.”
“It got tangled in my clothing,” Counceller added. “I was wearing a sweatshirt and a fleece jacket. I felt (the gun) go in the holster and I pushed it, but it was tangled in the material which caused it to discharge. The bullet went into my leg and then into the floor.”
Councellor suffered a flesh wound and was able to drive himself to the hospital for treatment. He said that he would be back to work on Tuesday.
Although Connersville Mayor Leonard Urban called Counceller “an excellent marksman,” this isn’t the first time the police chief has shot himself. About 15 years ago, he accidentally discharged his gun into his hand.
Despite his accidents, Councellor is hoping to draw some lessons from the unfortunate situation.
“If anyone says this could never happen to them, they’re mistaken,” Counceller said. “You have to keep your guard up at all times. Some candidates are out there doing things for kids to try to get elected. Me, I shoot myself. What a way to get publicity.”
I'd say that the criminals in Connersville, and Fayette county are prolly pretty safe.
Anyone in line next to Chief Councellor, not so much.

My husband. He's trying to tell me there's no scientific correlation between maintaining a constant body temperature, and faster recovery times after illness. You don't need a fucking degree to know your body will be under less stress, therefore able to fight illness if it's not using it's resources trying to keep you warm or cool.
not commenting on idiocy, but it occurs to me that the body does alter its temperature in response to illness. a fever sometimes is the result of the body responding to an infection by raising the temperature as an immune response. the discomfort is, to my understanding, because of the difference between the body's actual temperature and the body's "set point" temperature, which itself can vary.
I'm not a doctor, but played one in my youth...:blush:

I bet he was eating it, the freaky fucker.
Yup.
The M1 is a particularly busy Motorway and, if only in the interests of self-preservation, requires the full attention of the driver at all times.
The speed limit is 70mph but is honoured more in the breach than the observance and you need your wits about you. (See 'self-preservation' above)
Heaven alone knows what was going on here:
The actions of a woman photographed apparently reading a book while driving along the M1 have been condemned as “irresponsible and dangerous” by police and safety experts.
Builder Andrew Stonham, from Nottinghamshire, said he took this snap after spotting the motorist travelling at “around 70mph” in her Nissan Micra, with the pages spread out in front of her.
The dad-of-three, who was a passenger in his workmate’s van at the time, took photographs on his mobile phone as they followed the woman along a stretch of the motorway from Junction 25, at Sandiacre, to Junction 27, near Hucknall.
The 28-year-old said other drivers were sounding their horns and flashing their lights at the woman.
Mr Stonham, of Kirkby-in-Ashfield, said: “There were other drivers pulling in front of her and flashing their hazard lights to try and get her to stop – but she just kept on going.
“We weren’t the only ones appalled by her actions. She needs to be told that this behaviour is not acceptable and can result in death. The road was busy at the time and she could quite have easily ploughed into the back of somebody. I have no idea what she was thinking.”
Mr Stonham said the woman was alone in her vehicle at the time.
He said: “We saw her about 200 yards back and my friend said he thought something was up.
“We caught up with her but we were struggling to keep up in the central lane. It’s not even like she was in the slow lane.
“We were beeping at her and I was waving at her out of the window. She finally looked over, smiled and waved before carrying on as normal.”
He said the woman continued reading until he and his pal pulled off the motorway at Junction 27.
Mr Stonham added: “I spend a lot of time on the road as part of my job and seeing people on their mobiles makes my blood boil – but I have never seen anything like this in my life.
“It’s dangerous. We need to name and shame people like this.”
A spokesman for Notts Police said: “This behaviour is clearly irresponsible and dangerous and, if witnessed by police, we will act accordingly and seek to prosecute the driver.
“Any images taken by a third-party member of the public and provided to police will be treated as intelligence.”
James McLoughlin, spokesman for road safety charity Brake, said: “This is shocking. Driving is the most complex and dangerous task that most of us do on a regular basis, so it demands undivided attention.
“Any multi-tasking behind the wheel is a potentially deadly distraction. We urge all drivers to save any other activities until they’re safely out of the car.”

Me too, newspapers, books, and most mind boggling to me, paperbacks. They are hard to keep open with one hand and have tiny print that's hard to look away from and find my place again so I tend to want to finish the paragraph before looking away. :rolleyes:
I saw a man (or was it a woman? I forgot) reading a magazine while driving. The only difference here was that it was bumper to bumper traffic. Still doesn't make it right.
It's not the dumping of the cement on the car that makes this guy an idiot. It's standing there with his phone in his hand, when he could grab the water hose from the truck and spray the cement off the car, and potentially save the company a couple thousand bucks, or more.

"not his money" / insurance will pay for it is what I'm guessing is keeping him from doing such a thing. though I reckon there'll be replacement galore on that accident regardless.

Heh. Once I was driving and my Mom was in the passenger seat. She had a stroke several years ago and as a result can not speak, but she is johhny-on-the-spot when it comes to taking her medicine on time. Well, it was time. When we came to the red light, I opened my wide mouth Nalgene water bottle for her (the stroke also paralyzed her right arm and right leg so she can't easily open the bottle on her own). She popped the pills into her mouth and started to take a drink to wash down the medicine. Then the light turned green and I pulled forward. Along with my Mom, and the bottle, but the water wanted to stay right where it was. As I drove out from underneath the water, it seemed to rush out of the bottle and into my Mom's face, but actually, the water was just minding its own damn business when my Mom's face smashed into it.
What a shock! She was soaked and I was embarrassed as hell "Sorry MOM!!!!" She's a good sport though and we had a laugh about it. I make sure she doesn't have the bottle aimed at her face when the light turns green now.
I wonder if the cement sloshed out of the mixer in the same way...
Back when I was younger and stupider, and we would ride around drinking, I would do that to my friends on purpose. Hold the gear just a little longer than necessary, and, a half-beat after the bottle/can gets to their lip, goose the gas.
Good times, man.
I wonder if the cement sloshed out of the mixer in the same way...
If it can be done from the cab, I'd say he prolly reversed the drum, for whatever reason, at exactly the wrong time/place.

I'm at a meet & greet for a group who I sort of know about half of them and talking to a guy I don't remember seeing before but may have.
Out of the picture window I see a woman coming across the parking lot. She is pretty, but beyond that, beautiful in that she's dressed to the nines, impeccably coiffed, perfect make-up, all the feminine tricks except photoshop.
So I say, "Whoa, I hope she's the entertainment."
He says, "That's my wife."
But what happened next, Bruce?
How long do we have to wait for the next embarrassing... er, I mean exciting episode?
"And that's how the boot got all the way up there, Doc."
Man, that's priceless, Bruce.

He didn't introduce us.
pffft, you didn't want to know her name anyhow, right?
It would have been nice to meet her, with the attendant opportunity to compliment her on her appearance... without drooling. That would show my sincerity in my original remarks.
Of course there's always the danger of drooling... grabbing... fondling... but I think she could probably restrain herself. :angel:

Repentant Brecon burglar returned laptop
A repentant burglar who stole a laptop from the wrong house was caught after he returned it, a court has heard.
Gareth James, 41, broke into a house in Brecon, Powys, believing it was the home of someone who owed him £400.
But when he opened the laptop he stole, he saw the wrong name on the screen, Merthyr Crown Court was told.
James, of Llanfaes, near Brecon, admitted burglary and was jailed for four months, suspended for a year.
'Felt embarrassed'
Prosecutor Rachel Knight told how James confessed to a barmaid at the Boar's Head pub about his crime.
Miss Knight said: "He told her he had done something stupid. He felt embarrassed he had gone into the wrong house."
James told her he had gone into the house thinking that the occupier owed him £400 for building work but his only intention was to keep the laptop until he paid up.
But when he saw the wrong name he realised he had gone into the wrong house.
He was caught and arrested when he went back to return the laptop, letting himself in through an open door.
Sentencing him, Judge Richard Twomlow jailed James for four months suspended for 12 months with supervision and ordered him to complete the thinking skills programme.
The last thing we need is a burglar with 'thinking skills'.

[ATTACH]50610[/ATTACH]
The ladders and tree - that's the kind of shit my brother would do.
I can see risk in the tree trimmer's task. But I can also imagine doing it safely. Securing oneself to the tree, securing the ladders to the tree, securing the chainsaw to the tree, securing the soon to be trimmed branches to the tree, it's all possible.
It looks like he's wearing a climbing harness, there appear to be ropes hanging down, there appears to be a horizontal line across the large section of the trunk close to where he's working. It's possible to minimize the risks here to top and remove a tall tree like this. It's also possible he's an idiot, but it doesn't quite look like it from here.
Did you notice the ladder in the bucket of the loader?
Yes, of course. I can't say about the base of the ladder, but they're typically not secured to whatever they're standing on, USUALLY the Earth, sure. But the base of the ladder in the bucket doesn't look like it's going anywhere, it's in the bottom of the V of the bucket. The top looks secured to the trunk.

I rigged a tripod and a cheap digital camera in GrandCherokeeOne for a while.

What an idiot. The behavior of the driver of the pickup truck is illegal here in Washington. ON PAPER, the left lane is for passing only. No camping like this jerk. In fact, there's been a suggestion in our legislature this session that holding up traffic in the left lane be assessed an additional and increasing penalty for how much slower than the posted limit your traveling. Now, assuming the driver of the pickup was doing EXACTLY the speed limit, he might be faultless, but still not using the lane as it is designed/desired, for passing.
But back to the NYS, good grief, the driver of the camaro should be in jail.
A dose of estrogen might be more appropriate to subdue all the raging testosterone
that was generating those emotions of road rage and really bad judgement.
Passing on the left median is not OK in anyone's book, and that's what
appears to have lead to this "accident". After all, what could go wrong ?
Other than that, the "right" or "wrong" of driving in the inside lane, makes little matter.
Had all 3 drivers both eased off on the pedal and enjoyed a nice sunny day's drive,
they would each have all been in town about the same time, little worse for wear.
On the other hand, maybe if the Camaro's driver got to town a little bit later,
he/she might have been T-boned at some intersection by a different car, and killed !
Karma can sometimes be inevitable that way. :devil:
Fuck those left lane bandits. They park their ass in the left lane until it's time to cut across traffic for their exit. I don't care if they are doing the speed limit, I don't care if they are doing 20 over the fucking speed limit, they have no business in the left lane if they are not passing. The worst are pacing the car in the next lane because they have their cruise control set at the same speed as the car next to them. Then the car behind them in the left fucking lane is pacing the car ahead, while playing Kumbaya on their iPhone app, and everyone else on the road can go to hell.
Lamplighter, take your fucking estrogen and stick it up your ass. Then take your Ralf Nader amateur philosophy and get the fuck out of the way. You are a speed bump in the road of real people.
Wow ! Did I strike a nerve on somebody ?
*shrug*
Not here, particularly. Though your claims about estrogen are specious at best. I'd be happy to trade hypothetical shoulda/coulda/woulda if onlies about the possible future outcomes of the drivers in the video, but ... to what end?
Going from what we can see in the video,
the pickup driver is wrong for camping in the passing lane.
the camaro driver is wrong-ER for passing on the median and directly caused the [strike]accident[/strike] multiple car collision due to his reckless driving.
There's no defense for either one of them.
What it looks like to me is that the p/u driver is cluelessly on autopilot/cruise control or being a passive/aggressive jackass. And the camaro driver is a road-raging sociopath. I kinda wish he'd gotten hurt, though I'm certain the video evidence will ensure his suffering. Goody.
Those left lane bandits are egregious on a sliding scale that corresponds inversely with the amount of traffic on the road. If you are in a traffic jam, it's perfectly fine to camp out in the left lane. If the road is wide open, camping out in the left lane and creating a rolling road block is just the worst.
Around here, traffic is so heavy, cars are always camped out in the left lane, and there would be a car directly in front of that camper and also one directly in front of the truck (with an appropriate gap dependent on traffic speed.)
All I'm saying is there should be no one-size-fits-all condemnation of people in the left lane. Depends entirely on traffic.
Lamplighter, take your fucking estrogen and stick it up your ass. Then take your Ralf Nader amateur philosophy and get the fuck out of the way. You are a speed bump in the road of real people.

A woman yesterday was blethering on about all the places she'd visited, including Blenheim Palace. Which she called Blenn-hime.
Now I have nothing against people not getting place names right on reading them. English-English is generally tricky, thanks to its mongrel history, and never more so than in place names. But she said she had been there. At what point did she not pick up on the fact that it's pronounced Blennim?
So she was either a lying idiot, or an idiot who doesn't bother listening to anything but her own yap.
Having suffered enough of it, I vote both.
Regular old spelling/pronunciation rules would have had me, along with the vast majority of the non-British world, pronouncing it blen-hime. That's what it looks like, and as you say, if I haven't been there, how am I to know people have been eliding it into blennum for a thousand years...
But, then, you have George Carlin talking about the way things are spelled vs. the way a group/person wishes them to be pronounced:
You can spell your name S-M-I-T-H, and pronounce it Jonofski if you want to.
What's your last name?
Jonofski.
Spell it.
S-M-I-T-H.
What?
Nevermind. They're all silent.
:D
how am I to know people have been eliding it into blennum for a thousand years...
Eliding! I was trying to think of that word (elided, rather than eliding)a few weeks ago and couldn't. I'd forgotten about it til I read your post.
Thankyou!
Now, see, you're making me learn things as well.
As an afterward, Blenheim was fairly local to me, so I probably heard the name before I ever saw it written down.
And I reiterate I am not an insufferable snob who laughs at people who get names wrong. I've done it enough times - especially once I moved out of Bucks.
Try getting your head around Mytholmroyd for example - although it's reasonably logical in the end.
And don't even think about place names in Wales...
My second primary school was just off a street called Blenheim Terrace. That name got everywhere.
And don't even think about place names in Wales...
Won't even...
I've been down that rabbit hole.
A woman yesterday was blethering on about all the places she'd visited, including Blenheim Palace. Which she called Blenn-hime.
Now why would a woman of obvious breeding and culture wish to lower herself to the guttural pronunciations of the local riffraff? Would you wish her to wallow in pronounsorial gutter of the Welsh also? :rolleyes:
I'd love to be able to speak Welsh!
I love the Welsh.
Note I didn't wish to learn Welsh. I have no aptitude for languages. And I'm too lazy to work hard at it.
But if I was able to download them to my brain, my wish list would be Mandarin, Urdu and Welsh. The first two far more useful, the third most lyrical. It's a beautiful language. And so foreign.

Edward Barlow had a shock when he undertook his first driving lesson on Wednesday. As he was parked at the side of the road talking to his instructor, a cyclist rode straight into the back of the car and it was captured on a camera looking out of the back window.
The male cyclist appears to be riding along the side of the road looking down at his bars, possibly at his bike computer. He fails to look up on his approach to the parked car and hits it full on, catapulting himself into the back window.
“So my first ever driving lesson went really well even though some crazy guy cycled into the back of me when I was parked…” said Barlow.
Oh, God! I laughed way too hard and long at that.

Judge Randall Lee Rogers, Presiding Judge, Smith County Texas, is the Idiot of the year.
A Texas man and his girlfriend say they are being forced down the aisle after a judge ordered them to get married or face jail time.
Last month, a Smith County judge ordered Josten Bundy to marry his 19-year-old girlfriend Elizabeth Jaynes within 30 days as part of a probation agreement, according to KLTV. Bundy had gotten into a physical altercation with Jaynes' ex-boyfriend in February. The ex-boyfriend suffered no medical injuries, but still sued Bundy for assault.
If Bundy declined the judge's proposition, he would face 15 days in jail.
"That would have been fine and I asked if I could call my job [to let them know]," Bundy told KLTV. "The judge told me 'nope, that's not how this works.'"
Bundy was also ordered to write Bible verses and get counseling. Jaynes said she was embarrassed after hearing the judge's proposal.
Unfortunately this is not that uncommon, a judge overstepping jurisprudence. Because they have the power in, and out, of the courtroom. They have the power to jail you indefinitely for contempt of court... INDEFINITLY. Even if you murder someone you get a defined sentence. Unless you have money and/or political suck, you can't fight this kind of bullshit. No local lawyer would help you, as it would be professional suicide. ACLU, maybe. :mad2:
linkI'll take 15 days in jail over marriage to, literally, any woman I've ever met.
I'd take 115 days in jail over marriage to, literally, any woman I've ever met.
I thought it was a little weird that his only real argument for caving in was, "the judge wouldn't let me call my job to tell them about the 15 days, so I would have been fired if I took it." Your girlfriend (now wife) doesn't know how to use a phone on your behalf?

By Eric M. Johnson
SEATTLE (Reuters) - A 73-year-old man who had been pulled over for driving without his headlights was arrested by a Seattle police officer after he tried to snort cocaine in front of the stunned patrolman, authorities said on Friday.
After the officer checked the man's license and registration during the traffic stop on Tuesday evening, the patrolman walked back to the man's Toyota. When he peered into the car he saw the man "portioning out a scoop of cocaine from a small glass vial," the department said in a statement.
"What is that? Are you kidding?" Officer Nic Abts-Olsen can be heard saying to the man in an exchange captured by the patrol car's dashboard camera. "You're about to snort coke on the side of the road?"
The man was startled to see Abts-Olsen and spilled the white powder on his hands and on the car floor, telling the officer it was "vitamins."
"Finally, the man relented, complimented Officer Abts-Olsen on his keen detection skills and admitted that snorting cocaine in the middle of a traffic stop was, perhaps, a poor decision," the department's statement said.
The man was arrested and booked into the King County Jail for narcotics possession.
Abts-Olsen told the man, who had an unblemished driving record, that he was going to let him off with a warning for driving without his headlights, but for the cocaine.
(Reporting by Eric M. Johnson in Seattle; Editing by Sandra Maler)
It was perfectly safe, he had a cruiser with flashing lights behind him so nobody would hit him while he was doing a line beside the road. Besides, he's 73, how's he supposed to remember the cop's coming back? It also clears up why he couldn't find his license to chop that line with. ;)
I thought maybe the bump was to keep him awake til the cop came back to the car.
Sounds like it was dusk, so, he was probably returning form the early-bird special...
Or he was firing himself up to get those pesky kids off his lawn when he got home.:crone:
Only people that do, or have done coke know to refer to a small line as a bump. Guess we're both outed now.

Tory councillor accidentally sent details of 'smear plot' to intended targets
A Tory councillor tried to persuade party colleagues to join him in a smear campaign against local domestic violence services and women’s rights campaigners, a leaked email shows.
Scott Harris, a Conservative member of Portsmouth council, wrote in the email that he had been compiling information on a number of political opponents operating in the city before council elections.
He singles out Aurora New Dawn, a local domestic violence support charity, and its chief executive, Shonagh Dillon, as well as a local chapter of the feminist group Sisters Uncut, who have been critical of council plans for drastic cuts to domestic violence services.
However, they and others named by Harris received the email after it was mistakenly sent out in a chain. The message says: “The elections are coming and the politics are dirty. The tricks by the Lib Dems, the lies and the smear are disgusting.
"Quite frankly it might be a good idea to play dirty this time. I know we shouldn’t go down to their gutter politics but should we continue to stand by and allow this to go on?
“I’m also compiling some stuff on Shonagh Dillion [sic], Aurora New Dawn and Sisters Uncut. Interestingly I’ve found some stuff on [local socialist activist] Jon Woods and the SWP locally which will be useful when the loony left come calling nearer May.”

There's a link to a compilation video of fire challenges, about 20 or so of them. For some reason people with pale complexions are grossly under represented in the compilation video.
Oh, not to be pedantic but fire challenge gone wrong is a tautology.

Shocking moment schoolgirl dices with death by crossing tracks at Latimer Road Tube station
[ATTACH]58811[/ATTACH]
This is the dramatic moment a child in her school uniform risks her life by skipping across Tube tracks.
Shocked commuters look on as the girl narrowly misses the power rail carrying 630 volts and seem oblivious to the danger of any oncoming trains.
Clutching a mobile in her right hand and carrying her coat across the left arm, the schoolgirl made the dash between platforms at Latimer Road station yesterday.
One passenger captured the moment on his own mobile and alerted London Underground (LU) about what was happening and to stop approaching trains.
Hasn't she noticed the blinding blue flashes from the conductor rail as trains approach?
Wouldn't that be a clue that there might be an element of danger involved?
I despair.

Watching on my phone I didn't see it either. But I could rewind. Is that some sort of loading dock?
And why the hell would that lady ask about the candle supply at a time like that?
Yep, loading dock.
And, in answer to your second question, because Alabama.
Maybe an eye test before the next drive.
Candles are dangerous. Not only do they cause house fires, they now contribute to car crashes.
Glatt, freeze at 14 seconds and you can see what must be an Alabama loading dock.

Generally, the hoses at UK petrol stations are long enough to stretch to the far side of the vehicle, so ending up at the 'wrong' side shouldn't cause a problem.
Pumps at my local Tesco...
[ATTACH]59587[/ATTACH]
Often true here too, but you have to pull in a little closer to the pump.
I stopped for gas on the Jersey Pike where you can't pump your own. The lines for the right side of the pumps were much longer as more cars(and mine) have the filler on the left. The attendants on the left side were waving people from the right side line to come to the dark side, then dragging the hose over the trunk lid or roof. Fuck that, I refused.
Most cars here have a symbol on the gas gage to tell you which side the filler is on.
Never having borne arms in defence of the realm, it's perhaps unfair of me to brand this chap as IoTD, but I'm going to anyway.
A French police sniper has accidentally shot and injured two people during a speech by President Francois Hollande in western France.
The shot was fired as the officer moved position on a roof about 100m (328ft) from a tent where Mr Hollande was speaking in the town of Villognon.
The bullet went through the canvas of the tent, where drinks were being made. It passed through a waiter's thigh and lodged in another person's calf.
The injuries were not life-threatening.
BBC Link.
The speech is in French but the 'bang' will be readily understood in any language.
As some wag observed on another forum:
The French Government immediately raised their threat level from "Run" to "Hide."
The only higher threat level being "Collaborate."

It's my turn. Not all today, but I'm still healing from 1/3 of my misadventures.
1 -- I have a new (to me) truck, details to follow. But it's got an automatic transmission and having put a couple hundred thousand miles (alllmost) on the VW Golf, I've rowed through a lot of gears. Anyhow, I was driving it home the other day, a really pretty day, I was kinda tired, kinda relaxed, listening to the music, not the news, and as I approached the stop sign, I reached for the clutch with my left foot. Obviously there is no clutch pedal. But the regular step down on it motion, in contrast to the usually much more delicate footwork with the right foot brought me a BIG surprise when my big foot caught the corner of the brake pedal. UURRRRK. screeech. thump. Only my pride and my neck suffered and even then not terribly, but it was kind of an idiot move.
2 -- I don't know much about this truck, it's new to me as I said. And the owner's manual gives some ... moderately detailed diagrams to help the owner distinguish which engine is in the truck, the 3.0 liter V6 or the 4.0 liter V6. Turns out I have the 4.0 liter, but I didn't come to that conclusion until after I'd branded the side of my hand against the exhaust header. Like that city slicker visiting the horseshoe making blacksmith, it doesn't take me long to check out a hot header, but definitely long enough to leave a mark. I looked for a picture, couldn't find one. Just imagine a dumb person with a burned hand. That'd be me.
3 -- For SakuraCon this year I was working on my costume. One part of it involved drilling some small holes in couple of stainless steel mixing bowls. I don't have a vise big enough to hold a bowl, so I just held it in my lap. As I'm pressing down on the concave surface of the bowl with... moderate pressure, I was blithely unaware that the drill was pointed right at my crotch. That is until the drill slipped and I tried to stab myself in the femoral artery.
Idiot.

#1 - been there, done that, many times because I own multiple vehicles but primarily drive the automatics. Also braking without pushing in the clutch, but that's not as embarrassing because it's less noticeable by other drivers. :o
#2 - Been there, done that, got the T-shirt, burning the equivalent of probably two complete sheets of body covering skin. :o
#3 - Not that way, but drill, grinder, a saw wounds for sure. :o
#4 - My pet mechanic trick is working underneath, bang my forehead on the vehicle, jerk my head back and bash the back of my head into the ground, then jerk my head up and you know what happens. My record is two complete cycles without stopping. :o
Thats a nice picture of your nuts.

i know a guy who swore by inflating his truck tires with CO2 ( fire extinguishers with the horn are CO2)
To attach an extinguisher would require the proper connection so it's already been modified, could be an expired exinguisher with a couple of hundred pounds of pressurized air in it (from a shop compressor). I have a couple of expired extinguishers a testing company gave me, to make air cannons ( like a t shirt cannon).
Still if you have a supply of compressed air at home,, why do you need to carry some around?

Man drove car sitting on bucket and steering with pliers
A motorist was stopped by police for driving while sitting on a bucket and steering with pliers.
The battered car, which also had no front wing, bumper, headlights and a flat tyre was pulled over in King's Lynn in Norfolk.
Norfolk's roads policing unit tweeted pictures of "the most un-roadworthy car" and said there were "too many offences to mention".
Police said the driver has been reported to court.
"Yes this was driven on a road and yes he was sitting on a bucket and steering with a pair of mole grips," officers wrote, as they posted pictures of the vehicle in Saddlebow Road.
[ATTACH]64319[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]64320[/ATTACH]
Dozens of people have commented on the shocking state of the vehicle.
One person referred to a television series where contestants compete to build working machines from scrap, saying: "I think too much scrap heap challenge has been watched by that driver."
Another said it "gives a whole new meaning to the word bucket seat", while other tongue-in-cheek comments included someone calling it "ingeniously unbelievable".
One person commended the driver on a "nice bit of kerb parking", considering he only had a pair of locking pliers to steer it neatly to the side of the road.
[ATTACH]64321[/ATTACH]
Full story with compulsory Twitterspiel here:
LINKPlus he was sitting on the wrong side of the car. :haha:
How could he steer with those mole grips if they aren't a hand tool?
Safety first. He might have fit a four-way tire iron on there. But then, if he was driving and hit something, the other end of the iron would have pierced his chest. This approach is thinking ahead.
Having once owned a Peugeot (I know, I know) I'm convinced that some models emerge from the factory like that.

Shot himself on school property. In Virginia, it’s illegal to bring a gun onto school property, regardless of any permit you might have. He would be in trouble here.
That's someone who didn't take the time to learn the limitations of his equipment in a confined space. Clothing can bunch up to snag or press on a firearm's safety moving it to the off position, a wad of clothing can get inside a trigger guard to snag or press on a trigger, and lack of a snug retention strap can allow vertical movement in the holster which facilitates the aforementioned.
These things often can't be felt; so, the rule of thumb is to not make adjustments to concealed carry equipment that you can't visualize while making the adjustment. Even if the equipment has shifted and become uncomfortable, you grin and bear it until you can safely adjust it (e.g. by lowering trousers in a bathroom stall). Shifting of concealed carry equipment is an indicator that it may be predisposed to a mishap.

In Mississippi, I can carry on school property, in church, and even in a courthouse.
In PA you'll get slammed to the floor carrying in a courthouse.
Even if'n you're a pohlees man?
Even cops can't carry in the courthouse.
So, there are NO guns in a courthouse? Ever?
Hasn't there been news articles that talk about judges carrying under the robe?
Say some guy goes batshit over his parking ticket, do the bailiffs call 911 and wait?
They have clubs, mace, cuffs, and numbers. There are guns in the courthouse but not the part the public has access to except the Sheriff's office right inside the front door. In the back building I had to give up my jackknife going to the tax office because childrens court is in that building. On the way out I asked for it back and the guard pointed at a half full cardboard box and says help yourself. Must have been a hundred in there, I guess people assume they're gone, can't be that many people going in and being turned into soylent green.
I'm describing the DelCo courthouse, I try to stay out of the others.
I have to disagree with you on the court. Down here, law enforcement officers can carry in court. I did when I was testifying. Also, our court bailiffs are armed. When I was a law enforcement officer, I even wore my sidearm when I met the governor at the capitol building.
This discussion started when Griff said "In PA you'll get slammed to the floor carrying in a courthouse." then I added even cops don't here. The discussion was about PA, I'm sure there are states that do and states that don't. There has also been cases of somebody freaking out and grabbing the bailiffs gun, and like Grav said Judges armed. I use to go with a woman who worked at a woodworking outfit in Lancaster County and she said they were building bulletproof Judges benches.
Apologies, I thought the thread had drifted to a generalized statement. BTW, many of our judges are armed and some wear kevlar vests. I don't remember any of our judges in my part of the state being attacked physically, but we had an extremely famous case where a housekeeper was convicted of stealing a judge's nail clippings and hair to use in a voodoo ritual against him. She got a felony conviction.
Sorry for the thread drift.
Thread drift is high art. I want more on the voodoo track!
Right, tread drift takes us to the most interesting places. Nail clippings and hair is petty theft, not a felony, must have been for the voodoo. Maybe for attempted voodoo... with intent. Yeah, that's real interesting, any links to newspaper articles or anything?.
Apologies guys, I got the details twisted. It was 2 brothers convicted of conspiracy to commit murder. They tried to get a lock of hair and a picture for the voodoo ritual. One brother got 10 years and the other got 5 years. The AP story link has the post conviction details

...I had to give up my jackknife.
Went to get my driver's license once and forgot my pocket knife was in my pocket. The bailiff said I'd have to give it up til I came back out. It was a very collectible knife, quite valuable, I asked him "Can I get a receipt for that knife?", he didn't hesitate and whipped out a logbook and gave me a receipt with a good description of the knife.
I've had that experience here entering the courthouse. I got a receipt and the knife went in a ziploc baggie presumably to keep the knife and the receipt together.

Woman falls from car on M25 filming Snapchat video
A woman fell out of a moving car on the M25 while leaning out of the window to film a video for Snapchat.
She fell from the car into a "live lane" between junction six and the Clacket Lane Services at 01:30 BST, Surrey Police traffic officers tweeted.
The woman was not badly hurt but police said it was lucky "she wasn't seriously injured or killed".
She was treated at the scene by paramedics. No arrests have been made, police added.
In a post on Twitter, the Roads Policing Unit said: "The front seat passenger was hanging out the car whilst filming a Snapchat video along the M25.
She then fell out the car and into a live lane.
"It is only by luck she wasn't seriously injured or killed. #nowords"
