    at one time (as far as I can remember) there was a sort of lynching posse being planned :o

    Yes, as these threads often degenerate into that kind of rubbish, but obviously it's just keyboard warriors talking as he's still doing it!

    Best thing to do would be to interview him, video the interview, upload it onto YouTube and then post the link to it here.

    Any takers?

    I'm game

    I've got a high end dvd cam and 8 days before I move to Malaysia

    I'd be willing to post my # so people can contact me after sitings

    You guys find him, I'll film and interview him

    The 2006 Darwin (american) Awards

    THE 2006 DARWIN AWARD WINNERS!!!

    The stupidity displayed by the participants

    in the following tales stops short of the ultimate

    sacrifice, but we salute their spirit and innovation

    Yes, it's again that magical time of the year when the Darwin Awards are bestowed, honoring the least evolved among us.

    Here is the glorious Winner:

    1.When his 38-caliber revolver failed to fire at his intended victim during a hold-up 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 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 he also 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 more money than they take, 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 am, 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.

    ******A 5-STAR STUPIDITY AWARD WINNER*****

    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.

    Know It All Fallangs That That Get Pissed Up And Try To Ruin Everyone Elses Night

    in Bangkok

    Posted · Edited by Slated

    I was at Bangkok's preimier Club Sandwich restraunt on soi 4 for an early evening dinner.

    I don't often go to soi 4 anymore as I've moved further away, however on this evening, I was craving on of their Club Sandwiches.

    As I sat awaiting my meal, I couldn't help but overhear one of the bar's regulars, absolutely ripping into a poor older fallang.

    In short, the drunk fallang had learned that the man sitting near him had just married his Thai girlfriend a day or two prior. The drunk fallang's response was that the girl was likely a working girl and she was just using him, etc etc etc.

    The poor Thai girl was balling her eyes out and keeping her sobs quiet in a napkin.

    The drunk fallang (who's name I won't be forgetting anytime soon) then emerged from his stool, to stand closer to the other fallang and Thai woman. His language wass horrid, and he wass speaking so loudly that everyone at the bar/restraunt could hear what was happening.

    As he drunkenly staggard towards my table, I leaned towards him and asked to please not make a scene, as I would like to enjoy my quite dinner (it was only 6pm).

    At this, he was irate. He told me I should shut my face as I knew nothing of Thailand. I told him I live here, and have for 6 months. He then spun around and went back attacking the poor couple. As he again drunkenly staggard to my table, I again, this time more firmly told him to please settle down, as he was making a scene to everyone in the restraunt.

    (I should mention that there were no male employees in the restraunt at the time)

    At this, one of the waitresses addressed him by name and asked him to stop or they would call the police. He responded by saying that she was a bartender and should shut up and go back to pouring drinks.

    He continued laying into me regarding how long he had lived here, and how he knew how everything works in this town. He jabbed his finger into my chest twice as I sat in my seat. I had had about enough and mentioned how I had reciently served in the Marines, and that it was in his best interest to calm down. I did not want a full confrontation, but I know the waitresses at the restraunt, and they seemed truly concerned with the way he was acting.

    Upon seeing that I was not going to be intimidated by him, he began to calm down and offered to buy my dinner, and drinks for the other people at the bar.

    He then went and attempted to shake hands with everyone sitting there who had heard, as the drinks he had offered to buy were being served.

    Then he walked out the door, without paying for his night of drinking, or the drinks he had ordered for everyone else.

    Later that night, I learn that his gf/wife is a Thai woman who happens to work at another bar on soi 4

    how ironic

    I haven't been to soi 4 since. Knowing that people like him are there is reason enough not for me to eat or drink at the establishments there.
