Can we assume the incident was preceded by "Here, hold my beer"?

Another candidate for a Darwin award.

Stupid really knows no bounds.

All he wanted was a romantic dinner with his lucky GF.

Contrary to folk knoeledge, one CAN fix "Stoopid" ... the cure/repair is, however, usually terminal fer said owner of stupeness ...

"Would-be squirrel-killer injured after taping cartridge to BB gun."

In a related story, researchers have discovered the sound a squirrel makes when LOL.

I know your opinion about squirels, but I hope it was not you, Dave.

[nursecindy]

Good one ligirl! Blackberry13 our Dave would never hurt a cute, innocent squirrel. At the very least he would never admit to it.

[Loudmouth]

No doubt only the most recent attempt to get a little tail that has blown up on him.

[Jeff Meyerson]

Loudmouth said "blown"

[EyeGore]

A 40 cal round? Heck, if it had worked there wouldn't have been anything left of the squirrel but his nuts and tail.

[nursecindy]

Snork! Loudmouth said "get a little tail".
I hope all of you realize you have corrupted me. I was at the store the other day and started laughing at the name of some cleaner I saw on a shelf. After I put my glasses on I realized it said "cook top cleaner" and not what I originally thought. Bad blog! Bad!

Hey, when Wayne LaPierre gets a hankerin' for squirrel fritters, he goes a little loco, ok?

[FredKey]

Come on, you people all know it was squirrel sabotage.

[JarJar Binks]

He should have used high explosives. Anything can be fixed by a judicious use of high explosives.

[Make It Rain]

Shoddy journalism. No mention of the outcome for the squirrel. Did he recover from the fit of laughter?

[Loudmouth]

nc, corruption is in the eye of the beholder. Beholder? I hardly knew her.

Coming soon to an Emergency Room near you.

P.S. nursecindy thought "cock top cleaner".

[Wolfsong]

Got nuttin' but a big *snork* for everybody.

[Marc]

No doubt this man is related to Wile E. Coyote — super genius?

[Guin]

Big snork for pad.

Almost a finalist for the Darwin Award...

My friend set a cartridge on a fence post and backed off and shot it with a BB gun. He hit the cartridge directly, it fired its contents, and the recoil sent it right back into his Adam's apple. He was really unhappy about it for a few days. We think he was cursing but it all sounded like "sss,sss."

Actually, I did this once with a twelve gauge shot gun shell. It went off as expected making a big boom and showering bird shot down on us. I held the BB gun up high, so if the shell exploded, it would not hit us. It was fun. I was 15.
