Oh my God, guys, stop it. My heart can't take it.

This otter just met Teddy Bear Santa and is in the process of flipping the fuck out.

That awkward moment where you're explaining to a friend that one time you saw a lady shoot darts out of her crotch to pop balloons.

I'd pay to witness that!

@Corfaisus: Much as I'd love to say THE CUTE WILL NOT STOP I don't actually have any more images right now, so...

Darts? That's some good aim there, pingpong balls I've seen

So have I, Nhubi. Somehow... so have I.

on an unrelated note, BM, when did your nick change back?

Impossible to say for curtain, but I'd wager it was about here.

I PM'ed him a few days prior but understandably he forgot between all the things he do.

Now I'm unwittingly trolling people who want to PM me. Woops.

Oh yeah? Personally, or on the internet? If it's the former, have you been to Thailand as well? I've seen ping pong balls there too at the same shady ass bar I saw the darts.

I'm interested in the conversation before that that prompted the telling of the dart shooting lady story.

Related to the above; the story came up and my friend was asking me some of the weirdest things I've seen overseas in various countries during my time in the Navy. Women shooting things out of their nether regions usually makes the top five. When I bring up that I've been to Thailand, people ask me if 'it's like the Hangover 2', but I can pretty much assure you that the actual Thailand, or at least the shady parts that the USN takes us, is far stranger than anything from the movie.

I promise you that almost any scene from the Hangover 2 is a tame version of what has actually gone down there, some of it I've personally witnessed during the time I was there.

By crotch do you guys mean vagina?
I didn't know shooting things with a vagina with enough force to trajectorize a projectile was possible.

Oh best believe it is absolutely possible. Smoking cigarettes is possible that way too!

Just glad to be out of the hospital... Also it's pretty cold, turning my heater on now!

Yes, because I'm sure he wanted to get singled out and harrassed by grown people. That he is now happy over being shown to be innocent DOES NOT AND NEVER WILL make up for the fact that he was treated the way he was. Hell, the fact that he's now been shot to 15-minutes of stardom may mess him up mentally just as much as what happened before authority figures apologised for the WRONG THAT WAS DONE.

Because we all know that being treated nicely after a terrifying and horrible experience makes it all better.


Can you see the sarcasm oozing off the page there? I hope you can feel it because your arguments are, in atwo words: fucking moronic.

The Australian government apologised and shook hands to happy-looking Aboriginals after they apologised for stealing a whole generation of their children but that doesn't make it fucking right, does it? It doesn't fix the trauma that was caused and never will. Nor will getting a handshake from the President and some pats on the back automatically remove the feelings of worthlessness and mental scarring that was caused by being the victim of a racial attack.

A bandaid won't fix a 6-inch cut, even if it stems some of the blood. A Presidential handshake won't stop the kid from feeling like shit the next time he sees a cop, or remove the fear of the authority figures he now probably has. Hell, he can't even trust those who he's known for years, who are supposed to protect him and his rights, because they're the ones who did it to him.

Yes, I'm sure being reminded day after day about why he's lauded helps with his fears.
I'm sure Malala doesn't have mental scarring over being shot despite now being safe and sound and beloved by the world.
I'm sure Yeomni Park won't suffer from horrible nightmares for the rest of her life just because she's also safe and loved by the world.

As though scars don't stay despite good things happening after the fact. For years. For whole lives. I'm sure he's perfectly A-OKAY with what was done to him now he's being splashed all over the media, constantly reminded of what was done and having it shared with the world. As if what was done wasn't bad enough.

You're old enough to know damn well better.

Priscilla, Queen of the Desert isn't that well known since it's an Aussie movie, BM. Keep that in mind - while we all know it, not many outside our shores would. (Great movie~<3 )

Said lady, Lindsey Chamberlain, actually babysat me as a kid, so you'll understand why I consider what happened to her as a horrible injustice. They demonified her with no proof, based on how she acted on television - which was by going numb, a completely normal way to react to the death of someone. The shit she and her family went through was ridiculous and it destroyed them in many ways. People now joke about 'A dingo stole my baby!' but it was a horrible experience for a young mother to have to go through.

Not only to have her baby disappear, then to have her body found, then be accused of the death, then be found guilty of it when you knew you were innocent, but also having your personal life poked at, the religion you were a part of being lied about (they called it a cult and said you had to kill a baby in order to join. As a Sevvie, I can tell you now - nothing of the sort is required to join. Just show up at church some time and we're happy to have you along.) and after all that finally having the proof you didn't kill your child come to light but still be considered by some as a killer.

I can't imagine how horrific it feels to know that the greatest loss of your life is joked about by strangers. Drives me a bit crazy when people joke about it like it's just soooo hilarious.

@Liberty, it sounds like you may have had something very bad happen to you when you were younger and for that I can understand your feelings about this incident.
When I was about 12yrs old, and living in the city, I was having fun climbing up the side of a building. Walking over a metal awning, leaping to a metal light post and sliding down like a fireman :) An unmarked car with two detectives stopped, grabbed me off the building and drove me home to my mother who chewed me up one side and down the other. NO, it did not cause me one bit of harm. When I'm talking with others about funny things that happened in my youth, we all have a laugh over that.
As I watched the interview of the Police chief from pianotm, I was able to see what happened. Each school in Texas has two security police on duty. They sat him down and talked with him. Yes, he was cuffed. That was proceedure in a case like that but still, maybe a little harsh. That proceedure may now be revised.
Maybe you and a few other might try to think a little more tolarently about this kind of thing in the future. The cops did not beat him, did not throw him to the ground. Yes, they did cuff him. But that was the worst thing they did that may have upset him.
He's fine and will be for the rest of his life. He already is getting "splash in the media" so will probably have a great future. He's meeting the President, has been contacted by the owner of Face Book and so will probably we a very wealthy man in the futher.
His story is nothing like the people of your country who had such terrible things happen to them. They are totally two different kinds of things and should not be pointed out as being similar.


@BM, thank you for pointing out "At least only three or four people in this country know me as a butthole and I'd rather it stay that way but if TAFE has any lucrative stakes I know it definitely wont."
I do agree with your estimation of your self. I'm sure you love my agreement.
Thank you for also pointing out that I'm partially color blind. The blue was light in shade, not dark blue as in my emails.
As I said, pianotm has posted things in the past that were not correct and could cause people to think a terrible injustice took place.
As for the other 7 students who brought clocks to school and nothing happened.....the were 7 students in other schools across the country and at different times. That article was meant to stir up trouble and it did.
As for the interview of the Police chief, as usual the media tried to show the cops as monsters. He layed out what happened. Told the media person trying to stir up trouble and get more viewers some things may need to be changed changed but overall, they did their job trying to protect the students and teachers.
In fact in the interview, Ahmed said he thought he was taken into the interview for his race "because of something one of the cops said". The chief told the media that actually what the cop said was close to what Ahmad said and if you listen closely you might also understand that Ahmad may have made a mistake.
If Ahmad can make a mistake, if I can make mistakes, he EVERYONE on this site can make mistakes.........then maybe the cops can be given a little more understanding if they make a mistake.
Again, thank you BM for telling me we agree on your "buttholeness".
Over and out.....

@Linkis: Yes, because I can empathise with kids who have horrible things happen to them means I MUST have had terrible things happen to me as a kid too. Don't presume you know anything about a person just like that. You don't. My childhood was a bit hectic at times but it was a good childhood filled with a lot of laughter. I just have the ability to see cause and effect for what it is.


Except they are the same fucking thing on the base level. You're obviously blinded by whatever faith you have in the authority figures and have no ability to empathise with the kid, so I'm just going to stop addressing you. Gotta know when people just ain't gonna listen/care/give two shits after all. Believe what you want but don't think for a second that it wasn't racism-driven.
