Woman Will Not Sign TicketApr 13, 2008 8:34 PM
wow! that is one angry human being, with a *monster* chip on her shoulder, just spoiling for a fight! if you want to feel like a victim, like the world is ganging up on you, that sure is one way to do it! i'm not sure if everyone understands that all you are signing on a ticket is an agreement to show up in court (or at least pay and forfeit "bail"), but still..
Woman Fights For Parking SpotApr 13, 2008 8:17 PM
if you think that couldn't be you going ballistic, that's just because no one's smacked the right button..yet. i just love it when the particular "edge" that life finally shoves someone over has some pimply dude with a video camera on it, so that we can all laugh at it on web sites like this one..
Woman With Parking SkillsApr 13, 2008 7:50 PM
i'm beyond sick of all of the "battle of the sexes" bs but, even with that element in it, this one is just too precious for words. and, *of course* it's faked! i wish i knew how to record some of the things *my* imagination has conjured onto video!
The Perfect GentlemanApr 13, 2008 7:41 PM
hmm.. clipped out of a tv commercial? wonder what the rest of the video was. I still can't figure the people who sit around a table and brainstorm this stuff. besides, the mobile phone abusers i want to see swinging from a gibbet are the drivers, like the one who nearly wiped out my car (and me in it) just off of the freeway.
Flirting With DisasterApr 13, 2008 6:53 PM
Gee, I wonder which segment of the population THAT commercial was aimed at.. Reckoning by the preceding comments, I'd say it was a direct hit, too. Oh well, better save your shiny pennies, girls -- I doubt you'll find your dream leather jacket waiting for you under the tree after THAT one! When it comes to male bashing in the media, that was actually quite tame..

I didn't know they flavored liquor with magic mushrooms..honest!
Make A Super ModelApr 13, 2008 6:32 PM
And here I thought I was going to see what a professional make-up artist and a photographer can do. Of course you can do that with Photo Shop-- and much, much more. I think anyone who has been to a movie in the last 20 years knows that by now. And your point was..? (Can anyone confirm that PS was first developed by Lucasfilm ILM for Star Wars?)
Spot A Rich GuyDec 21, 2005 7:41 PM
i knew a guy that big, who had no trouble attracting pretty girlfriends. he was by no means rich-- just a kid who'd dropped out of high school and was working at a subway sandwich shop (he eventually got fired). he hated his family (but wouldn't leave home), and didn't seem to much care about people; i don't know what the girls saw in him. he used to say that he could see no reason to loose weight, as long as he could still get the girls.
Public Restroom InstructionsDec 21, 2005 7:09 PM
"really nice to see both genders included." even nicer to notice the comments from people who didn't notice that, who suddenly went blind about two/thirds the way down the sign. "denial: it's not a river in egypt." my favorite restroom quip: "we aim to please. you aim too, please."
GIGANTIC Mega Hard DriveDec 21, 2005 6:45 PM
radio shack.. betcha it was for a trs-80, prolly fit in one of the floppy drive bays.. ancient history! it's almost as cool as my data general/one.. (first ibm-compatible notebook computer, released in 1984..my very first computer, and i still have it.)
How Did They Do That?Dec 21, 2005 6:30 PM
forgery? maybe.. the shadows may be questionable, the rest looks authentic. no evidence of cyclone/tornado damage.. a high bridge? the foreground looks like someone's front yard, so a bridge could be too far away. the condition of the rear bumper suggests it didn't repeatedly flip end over end.. my guess: it hit a concrete barricade or divider, located on the street and just outside the picture. many of them are built like this (hope this works): _/|\_ which will flip over a car.
Baby Eating A CatDec 21, 2005 5:53 PM
wonder how many stitches the kid required after the cat sliced his leg open..

3M Really Trusts Its Own Security Glass!Dec 21, 2005 5:40 PM
the last time i saw a brag this good was at a sewage treatment plant. to brag on the purity of the water they reclaimed, they built a little fish pond out of concrete, which they had attached to the side of the chemistry building. they had two koi swimming around in it. koi will jump out if the water is the least bit contaminated.. btw, i wonder if the cash is real (the koi certainly were!).
Dog Plays Mother To ChicksDec 21, 2005 5:14 PM
it's true-- they'll imprint at hatching on the first thing they see that moves. no surprise that the husky was raised to want to protect them, too.
Ghetto Car LockDec 21, 2005 5:01 PM
that's almost as funny as the hot shiny red ferarri i saw cruising down pacific coast hwy in newport beach, california, with the bumper sticker that read "poverty sucks"..
Funny License Plate - FU StateDec 21, 2005 4:45 PM
on the california personalized license plate application form, there is-- or, at least, there used to be-- a space for the applicant to explain what the requested plate means. i wonder what this person wrote there, to con the state into granting it.

if there were awards for original gag items, i think this would at least be a nominee.
How Girls Cheat On TestsDec 21, 2005 4:13 PM
i once overheard a man express to a woman his feeling that he was fortunate to be a man, and that he was better off because of it. i don't recall his reasons why, but i'll never forget her rejoinder: "we get away with more stuff." truer words (hers) were never spoken..
DVD RewinderDec 21, 2005 3:08 PM
"is it real, or is it photoshop?" i'll bet it's real, produced as a gag item. clever, but not as good (nor as successful, probably) as pet rocks.
Cubicle Filled With Packing PeanutsDec 21, 2005 2:58 PM
i've read that this is a common dorm room prank: while the occupant is asleep, stretch paper or plastic across the room's doorway and then fill the space between that and the closed door with packing peanuts or other debris. when the mark opens his/her door in the morning..

CD Player ShoeDec 21, 2005 2:22 PM
why not a CD player shaped like a shoe? there's furniture shaped like shoes, collectable miniatures of antique shoes, etc. how 'bout a miniature computer for cheating at the roulette table hidden in a shoe? http://physics.ucsc.edu/people/eudaemons/layout.html
Courthouse Shooting Caught On TapeDec 21, 2005 1:45 PM
while the action cannot be condoned, i can totally understand the anger. people are very angry these days, and for lots of exceptionally valid reasons. i don't see this as the deranged action of an isolated individual, but as symptomatic of the derangement in our society. i hate to say it, people, but some of our values are completely nuts, and others, which may have been fine in previous days, no longer work.
Horse That Rides In A CarDec 19, 2005 11:58 PM
some of my best friends have been horses, and i've seen them show lots of personality, but nothing to match this feller.. if the video were all staged, it would still be remarkable for the training involved! hard for me to imagine a horse developing a taste for meat (though a fast-food-joint burger may bear little resemblance) though, since the smell of meat generally evokes the fear of predation in a horse.
Horse Attacks WomanDec 19, 2005 11:21 PM
a pony that may be, but that body language is agressive, not playful-- I can almost see his ears pinned back against his head. I've seen dominant horses "out of the blue" suddenly charge and nip other horses, to assert their dominance. That is the only explanation I can think of, for why he bit her. Most horses probably don't realize that we are much more fragile that way, than they are.
Horse Attacks WomanDec 19, 2005 10:31 PM
The horse didn't just knock her down, he bit her on the breast. Watch the video in slow motion-- the horse can be seen opening his mouth and then closing on her. Having been bitten myself and known others who have been, I can tell you that her injuries were not a joke-- the crush force a horse can exert with his teeth is tremendous. As to what provoked the horse, I can find no clue in the video. And, as to her inattention, horses, big though they are, are quicker than most people imagine..
A Really Dirty Job - Horse InseminationDec 19, 2005 9:38 PM
hope you are enjoying that burger, steak, yogurt, or ice cream, because this practice is much more common in the cattle industry than it is among horse breeders-- especially because bull semen can be frozen, shipped, and then thawed without losing potency. and, if you think this is gross, you should see where the veterinarian places the ultrasound transducer to check up on a mare's pregnancy.. :D
Horse Falls Off StageDec 19, 2005 9:30 PM
the average "light" horse weighs 1,250 lbs. (big "draft" horses can be as much as a ton); they are solid muscle, and very strong. a horse in panic with all its self-preservation instincts switched on is a wreck in progress, and the resulting injuries may require euthanization. horse safety is not a joke, and neither is this video. it would be a miracle, in the crowd shown, if the only injuries were to horse and rider.
Tom Cruise Get's Water Squirted In His FaceDec 19, 2005 8:58 PM
Ah, the joys of being an "elite": you have recourse. When the common person is confronted with abuse or insult, there is frequently little alternative to a strongly worded retort, or to just swallowing it whole. People once practiced manners because they might be called to account for their lack, and there were real consequences for rudeness. Now days, just about anything goes. And then people wonder why we have things like "road rage"..
