A Buddhist ordination ceremony goes very, very wrong.

The blast blew his penis “to smithereens” and the bullet lodged in his left foot.

Ordination? What type of monks bring knives and shotguns to their celebrations?
Posted by: SW | July 26, 2007 at 06:26 PM

Doctors said it was unlikely that Sayan would ever be able to use his sexual organs again.
BRILLIANT!

Is that a shotgun in your pants or are you
*BLAM*
EEEWWWWWWW

Everybody's doin' a brand new dance, now
Take a sawed-off shotgun shove it in your pants, now
Just watch that li'l hair trigger when you whip it out
Or pretty soon you're doin' the twist and shout
Now Sayan, Sayan
Needs an operation to pee

I dunno. They could come in handy as fish bait.

Oh, Phuket, that had to hurt! Penis Smithereens WBAGNFARB.

Wasn't this a movie? The Buddhist Shootist.
Posted by: SW | July 26, 2007 at 07:09 PM
Did anyone look up smithereens on MapQuest and go there to see if they could find his penis???
Posted by: Eleanor | July 26, 2007 at 07:26 PM
Good one, SW...Li'l Eva would be proud;)
And this story is one of the few good arguments I've ever seen for handguns.
Posted by: Betsy | July 26, 2007 at 08:15 PM
I'm inclined to doubt every word of this story.
In one sentence the "reporter" says the weapon in question wuz a "shotgun" and in the next sentence (paragraph?) it says it wuz a "rifle" ... and then it claims the "weapon" had a trigger made of "hair" ... sorry, ya gotta pick one or the other ... tho I will admit that the word "bullet" might be a clue ... and with the "reporter" as confused as this, I'm suspectin' that the "reporter" wuz part of the drinkin' party ... besides which, most weapon "triggers" are made of steel, or brass ... some of them are even gold-plated ...
Nope ... sloppy "journalism" ... especially when we notice that there are no photographs of the "smithereens" ...

Wow. 19 comments, and no-one notes the irony of the Dateline. Y'all are slipping.

Penisectomy? I think the real medical term is "subtractadickfromme".
Posted by: Brad | July 26, 2007 at 11:40 PM
Dave, the penis pistolectomy story was pretty bad, but please warn us when this kind of quote will be encountered:
“I want to warn anyone who goes swimming to wear tight-fitting underpants as a leech could crawl into your bottom or genitals and you’ll end up with the same problem as me,” K. Nong said. Just saying.
Posted by: philintexas | July 26, 2007 at 11:46 PM
I wonder if the hair on the trigger was short and curly.
Posted by: SW | July 27, 2007 at 12:50 AM
I had no idea Buddhists could party like this. And I thought he had a shogun in his pants.

Geez, Annie. If I could bottle your brilliance, I could retire in a week.

Posted by: Betsy | July 27, 2007 at 10:02 AM
darn, someone made the phuket joke before I could get to it! ;) Did anyone notice the "temple trots" story below it?

Irish buddhists?
Posted by: Cheesewiz | July 27, 2007 at 04:14 PM
The Buddhist ordination story sounds like a plot from a Koan brothers' movie.
