Doesn't this seem kinda gay? Not that there's anything wrong with that; well except for the burns.

Just when I was thinkin' that men have an advantage over us. Upon checking that story out, I realized they can keep that advantage and I'll keep my common sense thank you very much!
Posted by: Di | July 13, 2005 at 01:27 PM
Coulda used an at-work warning on that one.

The guy in the background seems very unconcerned about his friend's pain and maiming. He probably poured alcohol over the wound.

I might not lose my job, but I wouldn't be surprised if my IT guy called up to ask why I've been looking at burned dood-butt today...

Whoa! Post needs a YELLOW FOR CAUTION, there!
Posted by: Guin | July 13, 2005 at 01:37 PM
I'm just curious at what point in the conversations leading up to this glorious event that it sounded like a good idea....
I blame MTV's "Jack Ass" for this, but then I also credit that show and others like it for thinning the herd of humanity.
More oxygen for the rest of us, I always say...

This is why fireworks are illegal in Iowa, and why only the morons break the law. I just hope this idiot learned a lesson in the end.
Posted by: Aunt Nancy | July 13, 2005 at 01:43 PM
THIS GUY is the reason that so many products have dumb warnings.
A few years ago my mother received a Drummel rotary sander for Christmas and the instructions said "WARNING: NOT TO BE USED AS A TAMPON."
I sincerly wish that I was making that up.

I think that he may have been lucky to have not made a Darwin Award. Well, if he is this stupid he may make one in the future. Let's keep track of this guy. He has real potential.

See the friend go the OPPOSITE way as the flames got lower?!
Posted by: JLee | July 13, 2005 at 02:17 PM
Doesn't the guy look intelligent? Glasses and all. I think he should sue the firework manufacturer; I'll bet there was no warning label not to use it in this manner...

Aunt Nancy- "a lesson in the end." *snork*

You think that's bad?
Well you should see the gerbil!!!
Burned him? Damn near Rect-um!

I think both of those genlemen should thank their luck stars that Baked Beans had not been the main meal that night.
Posted by: igloo | July 13, 2005 at 04:42 PM
DaBlade- That story was so bad. I couldn't believe what I was reading. Armageddon indeed. My High School chemistry lab partner (a guy) bought me a book called Stupid Things Men Do (published in England, btw) as a gag gift. That story was in it, but the rest of the book was less gross and hilarious. Mr. Bottle rocket Butt definitely deserved a place in that book.

*sniffs the air*
Do I smell toasted tushy? Eewww, burnt butt hair.

Did anyone else notice the call to arms on the right side of the screen? It's labeled as being posted by the Revolutionary War Veterans Association. Just asking--how many of those are still carrying their rifles?
Posted by: NotInBaghdad | July 13, 2005 at 05:06 PM
I've never had the pleasure of smelling burnt butt hair "ann"
Posted by: Evelyn | July 13, 2005 at 07:04 PM
There's a Warning label on the side of that ordinance:
DANGER: Ignition near methane may impede performance.
Posted by: Martinishark | July 13, 2005 at 07:19 PM
Uhm... At the risk of getting too political, did anyone look at the rest of the site? Do we need more proof that Righties are morons?
Posted by: alanboss | July 13, 2005 at 09:23 PM
First thought: Cheeky blighter, innin'he?
Second thought: Naw, too easy... just 'cause Dave's in the UK...
Third thought: Since when am I above "easy"?

Now that's one serious frat (toot!) initiation!

Bumble- I have not yet been immortalized in any book about the Stupid Things Men Do, but there is always volume II!
Posted by: DaBlade | July 14, 2005 at 02:58 AM

This isn't the Man from Madras
Whose balls were made out of brass,
But a certain dumb Yank
Who 'backfired' a prank,
Getting third-degree burns on his ass!

Cyn, thanks for teh stupid videos link. I love those guys!

Evelyn - I thought that, too, and mentioned it to my husband last night, and he speculates that Ann is either a cattle rancher or a veterinarian, because people in both of those occupations use branding irons, therefore both know what burned butt hair smells like. BTW - my husband's older brother raises cattle, so my husband's helped with branding, and well, you know the rest...
P.U.!!!!!
Posted by: Aunt Nancy | July 14, 2005 at 06:40 AM
Cheeky.

Hey! Isn't that my physics proffessor?
Acctually I did have a science teacher who for some reason put liqiud nitrogen in a sealed coke bottle (a bad idea for those of you who don't know much science) and when he realized it was going to explode, get this, he held it under the table in front of him, almost BETWEEN HIS LEGS! It did explode and blew off his pants, exposing his X-mas boxer shorts and some of the plastic went into his leg. He also lit his tie on fire and now wears it tucked into his shirt.

Ray - I had a chemistry prof who, when demonstrating a titration (NaOH + HCl -> NaCl + H2O) put too much phenolphthalein indicator in the solution. (Phenolphthalein was, at one time, the main ingredient of Ex-Lax.)At the end of the experiment, he drank the stuff (it was only salt water) but halfway through the lecture he yelled "Class dismissed!" and ran for the restroom. I'm told he was in there for hours.

I burned my biology professor in college using a bunsen burner. It wouldn't light, asked him to help. He turned on the wrong gas line from a different outlet, fiddled with the burner, filled up his labcoat sleeve with gas. Then he told me "now spark that ___" and I did. His arm went "whoomp".
Posted by: JWB | July 14, 2005 at 11:44 AM
Aunt nancy - Hours?! What was he doing?! No, nevermind, I don't want to know.
Lm - Agreed! Almost everything is more fun when some one gets hurt, especially if it isn't you. Explosions are always good too. (oh, the many many monty Python quotes that I could put here)
JWB - The best i ever did was burn the hair of the same science teachers hand.
Posted by: Androgenous Ray | July 14, 2005 at 12:26 PM
Mr. (unfortunatly I forget the name) has presented us with a poser, we do not know which bush he is behind. But we can soon find out.
BOOM.... BOOM.... BOOM - Yahhg!
Yes, it was the middle bush.
Posted by: Androgenous Ray | July 14, 2005 at 12:30 PM
Aunt Nancy -
learned a lesson in the end, heheheheh, thanks~~
I surely needed a chuckle to keep me awake today.
Posted by: Giddy | July 14, 2005 at 03:22 PM
CandyT...Yes...lol.

Hoho! Zounds, what a wit! Your arguments have certainly swayed me!
BTW, Kim's a crochety libertarian, not a righty per se, and if you did a little research on Dave, you might be surprised by a few things....
But really, leave that Kerry sticker on your bumper as long as you want. I'm sure it'll drive him out of office eventually.
