*hands Bumble some hand sanitizer for the cooties left after typing that sentence*
That looked like it HAD to HURT. I especially liked the way it went into slo-mo for the "oh... my... God" segment...
Tamara (RWC) - Picture it: teenagers at a party. Outside, night. Kid laying on his back, pants lowered to expose his buttocks, pointing upwards. Inserts a bottle rocket into thusly exposed orifice. Pulls his sack up (props to Bumble) while good buddy holds his ankles so as to get proper angle on bottle rocket. Another buddy lights the fuse. As the fuse sparks, kid apparently clenches up. When rocket ignites, it stays in place, spewing white-hot burning propellant all over kid's exposed buttocks. Kid is surprised that stunt did not go according to plan.
Good times.
Posted by: Mr. Completely | November 22, 2005 at 10:22 AM
I couldn't watch all of it, but I do believe that this kid ought to have launched himself along with the rocket, from what I've read....

Hold up your sack, last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine p.m
And I’m gonna tell them, let me put it in..
It's just an anus, so give a light
Don't aim it at your face
On such a timeless flight
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time
Till touch down brings me round again to find
I’m not able to sit on the toilet anymore at home
Oh no no no I’m a rocket man
Rocket man burning out his ass, can't sit no more.
Your ass ain’t the kind of place, for fireworks kids
In fact it’s dumb as hell
And there’s no one there to extinguish them if you did
And all this fame I don’t understand
I'm just a guy, rationality weak
A rocket man, a rocket man
And I think it’s gonna be a long long time...

If they could see me now,
That little gang of mine,
I'm drinking something that
tastes just like turpentine.
I'd like those stumble bums to see for a fact
The kind of top drawer, first rate chums I attract.
All I can say is "Oow-ee!
Looka where I am.
Tonight I landed, pow!
Right in a pot of jam.
What a set up! Holy cow!

I can imagine him going to the emergency room with the butt cut out of his jeans and gauze across his nether regions. The really funny thing would be if he weren't the only moronic prepubescent boy in the ER in that getup!

As a mental health professional, I can share that the ethically and politically correct term for this deeply disturbed individual (who obviously has not progressed beyond the Anal Stage) is: f***ing idiot.
Also, the sack referred to is spelled sac. Not that I know these things for any particular reason.
