I wasn't wishfully longing for it to study, but to give to people here who like them for research material(I had in my possesion a lot of midcentury material through the early 90's and a few from the 20's and 30's). While I find all the research (for debunking purposes) highly informational, my career keeps me far to busy to pour through that vomit evoking dog crap that the WTBS calls "spiritual food".

Darwin Awards

by acsot in

hard to believe, but another year has passed.

once again, it's time for the darwin award nominees.

the darwins are awarded every year to the persons who died in the most stupid manner, thereby removing themselves from the gene pool.

Finally, THE WINNER!!!: [Arkansas Democrat Gazette]:
Two local men were injured when their pickup truck left the road and struck a tree near Cotton Patch on State Highway 38 early Monday. Woodruff County deputy Dovey Snyder reported the accident shortly after midnight Monday. Thurston Poole, 33, of Des Arc, and Billy Ray Wallis, 38, of Little Rock, were returning to Des Arc after a frog gigging trip on an overcast Sunday night when Poole's pickup truck headlights malfunctioned. The two men concluded that the headlight fuse on the older-model truck had burned out. As a replacement fuse was not available, Wallis noticed that the .22 caliber bullet from his pistol fit perfectly into the fuse box next to the steering-wheel column. Upon inserting the bullet the headlights again began to operate properly, and the two men proceeded on eastbound toward the White River Bridge. After traveling approximately 20 miles, and just before crossing theriver, the bullet apparently overheated, discharged, and struck Poole in the testicles. The vehicle swerved sharply right, exiting the pavement, and striking a tree. Poole suffered only minor cuts and abrasions from the accident, but will require extensive surgery to repair the damage to his testicles, which will never operate as intended. Wallis sustained a broken clavicle and was treated and released. "Thank God weweren't on that bridge when Thurston shot his balls off, or we might both be dead, "stated Wallis. "I've been a trooper for 10 years in this part of the world, but this is a first for me. I can't believe that those two would admit how this accident happened," said Snyder. Upon being notified of the wreck, Lavinia (Poole's wife) asked how many frogs the boys had caught and did anyone get them from the truck??? (Though Poole and Wallis did not die as a result of their misadventure as normally required by Darwin Award Official Rules, it can be argued that Poole DID, in fact, effectively remove himself from the gene pool.

This was on TLC or DSC not to long ago (within the last 2 weeks). This is an urban legend. This is not a total impossibility, but very highly improbable.

.

does anyone remember any stories related to hotels not wanting to do business with the witnesses anymore because the witnesses were leaving literature in their rooms rather than tipping maid service?.

In Europe the service sucks

I have never found this to be true. I recieved good service at every place I have been to. Most of the countries I have been to automaticly figure up a percentage for the tip and it is added to your bill. You just have to check what the local custom is for tipping.

I came here mostly to try to hopefully hook up with old "friends" that might have left the WTBS.

I stick around because of the comradery.
