Way Down Upon De Cape Fear Ribber...
Did you know that police in Wilmington, North Carolina, can arrest you for swimming in the Cape Fear River?
'struth!
That’s when Mercer ran onto the dock at the foot of Market Street, Smith said. As a New Hanover County deputy approached him, Mercer jumped into the river.
When he reached the other side he surrendered to officers in the marsh near the Battleship North Carolina.
“Mercer, lucky to be alive, was taken into custody without further incident,” Smith said in a release.
Mercer was booked on charges of obtain/attempt to obtain alcohol with a drivers license of another, obstructing police, consuming alcohol under 21 and swimming in the river.
Dumbass. He worked himself from a simple ticket to a night in jail.

If Your Notion Of Cooking Squirrels...
...involved burning the squirrel's hair off with a propane torch, you're very likely doing it wrong.
Mich. Authorities say a blaze that displaced dozens of people from a southwest Michigan apartment complex may have been sparked by a resident trying to cook a squirrel with a propane torch.
Fire Chief Jim Kohsel tells MLive.com that the resident apparently planned to eat the animal and was burning off its fur on a third-floor deck at the building in Ottawa County's Holland Township when the fire broke out Wednesday. Flames spread to the roof. Kohsel says eight apartments are destroyed and others damaged.
Since this took place at an apartment complex and involved bizarre technique, I'm inclined to think that alcohol was probably involved, as well as a large dose of male stupidity.

Headline of the Day
"Man dies after live roach-eating contest in Fla."
MIAMI -- The winner of a roach-eating contest in South Florida died shortly after downing dozens of the live bugs as well as worms, authorities said Monday.
About 30 contestants ate the insects during Friday night's contest at Ben Siegel Reptile Store in Deerfield Beach about 40 miles north of Miami. The grand prize was a python.
Edward Archbold, 32, of West Palm Beach became ill shortly after the contest ended and collapsed in front of the store, according to a Broward Sheriff's Office statement released Monday. He was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead. Authorities were waiting for results of an autopsy to determine a cause of death.
"Unless the roaches were contaminated with some bacteria or other pathogens, I don't think that cockroaches would be unsafe to eat," said Michael Adams, professor of entomology at the University of California at Riverside, who added that he has never heard of someone dying after consuming roaches. "Some people do have allergies to roaches," he said, "but there are no toxins in roaches or related insects."
Me? I think he died of shame after debasing himself in such a manner. I know I would.

Stupidest Man In the US Army
That would be Specialist Francisco Perez:
The Army is preparing to prosecute a soldier for the death of Pfc. Neil Turner, a Lincoln High School graduate, at an outpost in eastern Afghanistan early this year.
Army officials initially called Turner’s death a “training accident,” but now are bringing charges of manslaughter against Spc. Francisco Perez, who’s accused of firing a rocket at Turner inside their forward base at Combat Outpost Kherwar in Afghanistan’s Logar province.
Perez allegedly killed Turner, 21, on Jan. 11 with a light anti-tank weapon, a shoulder-fired rocket launcher designed for use against armored vehicles and other hardened targets. The weapon did not detonate, but was fired at close range and pierced Turner’s upper chest, according to Turner’s family and Army charging documents.
Perez’s assignment called on him to store weapons as soldiers returned to their base from missions. Witness reports in documents reviewed by Turner’s mother, Charlotte Cox-Turner, suggest Perez had been scolded more than once for “horseplay” with weapons in his charge.
Apparently Perez wasn't chastised sufficiently for the previous violations to have learned a lesson; or perhaps he was, in which case he deserves the title I assigned to him.
I've said this more than once, and I think that Jeff Cooper should have included it in his rules for gun handling: A gun (or in this case, rocket) is not a toy; don't play with it!

Well, Hell. You Only Live Once.
Might as well have some fun while you're young enough to enjoy it:
Taylor Burnham, 18, was arrested on drunk driving charges after she was spotted wearing only cowboy boots in Corpus Christie, Texas, and then led police on a low-speed chase in her Jeep Wrangler.
Police were called to an alley behind homes in one of the city's subdivisions about 3.30am Sunday.
When officers arrived and spotted Burnham, she was standing stark naked -- except for a pair of cowboy boots -- near her Jeep.
Instead of stopping, Burnham climbed into her vehicle and drove off.
She proceeded to lead police on a low-speed chase, never exceeding 30 miles per hour.
No nude pics available, unfortunately - - or fortunately, since she's rather mousy-looking in the head/shoulders photo provided.

Hey, Cletus, I Got Me An Idea...
...How 'bout we see if we can cross that 6th Street railroad bridge in the truck?
How'd that work out? Not too good:

Headline of the Day
"NC bell ringer sets sights on world record."
Well slap my face and call me Quasimodo.
And I wonder if the headline writer is aware (s)he's using a violent, gun-oriented metaphor in the headline? If Sarah Palin did such a thing, we'd never hear the end of it.

Well, He Just HAD To Test It
A man from Bellingham, Washington, severed his arm with a home-made guillotine.
He's no longer one of the 99%, it's more like 98.00000194%.
Guess he couldn't afford a piece of salami to test it on. Or was too stupid (or drunk) to think of that.

*THUD*
Yet another death at a North Carolina waterfall.
I can't be sure, but it's a good bet that his last words were Hey, y'all, watch this!

He Must Have Never Heard of Spunkwater...
...so he blew the wart off of his finger with a shotgun...
...taking part of the finger with it.
What's spunkwater, you ask? Tom Sawyer will tell you:
"Say -- what is dead cats good for, Huck?"
"Good for? Cure warts with."
"No! Is that so? I know something that's better."
"I bet you don't. What is it?"
"Why, spunk-water."
"Spunk-water! I wouldn't give a dern for spunk- water."
"You wouldn't, wouldn't you? D'you ever try it?"
"No, I hain't. But Bob Tanner did."
"Who told you so!"
"Why, he told Jeff Thatcher, and Jeff told Johnny Baker, and Johnny told Jim Hollis, and Jim told Ben Rogers, and Ben told a nigger, and the nigger told me. There now!"
"Well, what of it? They'll all lie. Leastways all but the nigger. I don't know HIM. But I never see a nigger that WOULDN'T lie. Shucks! Now you tell me how Bob Tanner done it, Huck."
"Why, he took and dipped his hand in a rotten stump where the rain-water was."
"In the daytime?"
"Certainly."
"With his face to the stump?"
"Yes. Least I reckon so."
"Did he say anything?"
"I don't reckon he did. I don't know."
"Aha! Talk about trying to cure warts with spunk- water such a blame fool way as that! Why, that ain't a-going to do any good. You got to go all by yourself, to the middle of the woods, where you know there's a spunk-water stump, and just as it's midnight you back up against the stump and jam your hand in and say:
'Barley-corn, barley-corn, injun-meal shorts,
Spunk-water, spunk-water, swaller these warts,'
and then walk away quick, eleven steps, with your eyes shut, and then turn around three times and walk home without speaking to anybody. Because if you speak the charm's busted."
"Well, that sounds like a good way; but that ain't the way Bob Tanner done."
"No, sir, you can bet he didn't, becuz he's the wartiest boy in this town; and he wouldn't have a wart on him if he'd knowed how to work spunk- water. I've took off thousands of warts off of my hands that way, Huck. I play with frogs so much that I've always got considerable many warts.
Of course a couple of things have to happen, first; you have to be aware of spunkwater by having read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer, and you have to have a spunkwater stump available. I guess that's the hard part.

His Own Personal Rapture
a 17-year-old boy was so happy that the Rapture didn't come...that he jumped into the Kalamazoo River and apparently drowned.
Sing it, Johnny:
Leadbelly sang about drowning, too:
As did Bobbie Gentry:

They Were DESIGNED To Do That, Don't You Know
A boy who tried to leap over a spiked fence...
...impaled himself on the spikes.
Pics; first, the fence:
Then, the boy:
Finally, a distressing x-ray:
FYI, kid: fire will burn you. Liquid nitrogen will freeze you. Pit Bulls will bite your face off, and toothless white guys in Georgia will drag you into the woods and make you squeal like a pig.

No, It Did NOT "Go Off."
You were admittedly playing with it, you stupid son of a bitch, you pointed it at him and pulled the trigger. Probably said "bang!" with a smirk on your stupid face as you pulled the trigger.
Now your brother is dead. You violated every one of the rules for safe gun handling (see blog sidebar) and your brother paid the price.
