Naw, earth is flat, the whole notion that Chinese are walking upside down is way outta date.
Who do you think is on the other side, silly?
Whoâs holding the contraption up inna first place?
I look at cnn every so often hoping to see that trump has been indicted (or worse)
(((sigh))).

Yup. Want to learn to fly? Just throw yourself at the ground and missâŚ

Flying solo. Cats only.

Growing up in Mexico in the 70âs these things were highly sought after contraband, wander into the wrong neighborhood and you would come out barefooted.
If you could not afford the smuggled Converse, these was the acceptable second choice⌠Super Faro!

Shadâs got the âcarry a big stickâ down pat, but definitely needs work on the âwalk softlyâ part.
I believe itâs 4 elephants standing on the back of a giant turtle?
I like the where the stars are.
Truly sad. We shouldnât laugh at someone who is obviously in the final stages of terminal testosterone poisoning.
Kind of embarrassing . . . . he is not that good at it.
I leaned to use nunchakus 40 years ago; like a lot of people in the Seattle area, I knew students of Bruce Lee. This guy is sloppy and undisciplined. A rank amateur.
Brilliant video. Brought back a âwonderfulâ memory.
In an earlier life, I was a firefighter. One evening, we responded to a fire at an old manor house (built around 1890) that the owner had illegally converted into an eight unit rooming house.
The fire was well engaged on the (third) top floor and the place was clearly a total loss already. Our chief wouldâve ordered we simply contain the bitch and not try any heroics. Problem was, our chief was off on a badly overdue vaccay and the newly promoted assistant chief was calling the shots.
Upon arrival, everything was unfolding as it should until âSparkyâ (the nickname I had for this moron before his promotion) declares that we will try to save the building and demands that we muster two hose teams with a pic unit to tackle the ceiling on the second floor. I, uniquely unimpressed, blurt out âSparky! You cannot be fucking serious!â
That act of insubordination bought me the post of lead pic and having to follow this idiot into a building that was bound to collapse upon us in minutes. Thankfully, fate intervened.
As we entered the hallway towards the stairwell, the owner of the house came barreling up the basement stairs with nunchucks and struck Sparky twice: the first blow knocked off his helmet, the second displaced his mask and he fell to the ground. Then, the PCP addled owner turn his attention to me and swung. But the narrow hallway left no room for the weapon to proceed and the ricochet of the wall made the weapon strike him on the back of his head.
Clearly dazed, he took a moment before readying himself for an overhand strike while I, with 30lbs of hose on my right shoulder swapped the pic to my left hand and swung it down, breaking his collar bone and dislocating his right shoulder with one half-assed swing.
Granted, an iron pic is much more menacing than two piece of tethered wood, but the level of injury was most impressive considering it was a half-assed 45 degree downward swing with my less dominant hand that administered it.
In the end, the event changed the dynamic and Sparky demanded a casualty response team (which normally would include me, except⌠circumstances  ) and thereafter to evacuate the building. It took maybe 20 minutes for the building to collapse after that.
) and thereafter to evacuate the building. It took maybe 20 minutes for the building to collapse after that.
Moral of the story: nunchucks are a useless weapon that nevertheless saved (firefighter) lives.

Fate, addled by PCP, bearing nunchaku, striking the back of Fateâs own head.
âThe gods must be crazy,â indeed.
If they had helmetcams or chestcams in those days, you would have been at least on syndicated TV.
Fat dumbfuck does dumbfuckery. And gave himself a little ego trip. Awwww.

Weâd all be in jail or sued for everything we owned. A colleague was renowned for responding to the thanks of any saved young woman saying âSave that for when you are choking on my cock later.â It was a running joke and in no way a serious proposition - just a defensive mechanism to create distance. But it would clearly cost him his job in this day and age.
Once we saved an old hermit from his burning house. He âthankedâ our chief by spitting in his face for not saving the house. Four of us picked him up to bring him back into his burning home. He went into cardiac arrest. I spent the next twenty or so minutes administering CPR. He didnât make it.
Itâs a terrible way to make a living. Needless deaths. Picking up constantly from other peoplesâ negligence⌠I left while young and went on to other pursuits. Of the maybe 45-50 people I worked with, four eventually committed suicide. Think about that every time you see a fire truck responding to a scene.
This is a secret that needs to be exposed.

It compensates for their displeasure with the size of their âmanhoodâ.

 steviedee111:You have to remember GOPers send their messages to about 100 million people whose emotional & intellectual development stopped when they were 12 years old.
12 is an arbitrary number. The development stops at the point where their father uses them as a substitute for their mother.
Heâs wearing a thong under those shorts!!!
That which has been seen, cannot be unseen.
@steviedee111 you have earned this curse: may a herd of thirsty camels migrate to your armpits.
