ROFL!!

I hope he was wearing clean underwear (though if this happened to me, I'm pretty sure they wouldn't be clean by the time they came off).

Me too. I think of it from the perspective of the gored bull fighter explaining to the doctor:

Doc: So, how did this happen?

Not Natural-Selection guy: Well, I was poking a thousand pound pissed off animal with a spear, and repeatedly waving a red cape in his face, when...

:roll:

For there is surely nothing more beautiful in this world than the sight of a lone man facing single-handedly a half a ton of angry pot roast!

I'm a meat eater. An enthusiast. And I know among vegetarians, what I'm about to say is so much splitting hairs, but I really hate rodeos and bullfights. In rodeos, the bulls are well-looked after (until they've lost their spirit and served as dinner the next night), but it sort of makes us omnivores look bad when some of us persist in pissing cattle off for entertainment. I know the way meat is slaughtered isn't pretty, but at least they're already docile and not engaging their fight or flight instincts for the purposes of entertainment.

So yeah. Tighty-whiteys strung across the horns? Hell yes. It would have been better if it had been the guy's scrotum. All in all, when the aliens come and decide I'd make a great main course at the galactic buffet, I just hope they put me down quickly and with the minimal amount of entertainment value.

I'm in agreement.... you shouldn't play with your food.

And in a totally unrelated note, miftah's avatar: that stuff tastes like canned ass.

Get back to me when you live a nicotine-free life and we'll have lengthy chat about the taste of canned ass. You'd be surprised what tastes you can get used to when you have the proper motivation.

I'll just let that one sit there for a bit.

Since I quit smoking, I've not been able to concentrate or focus the way I used to. I don't have shit for energy. Caffeine is my friend and this shit comes with caffeine to spare. The combination of it and the other magical chemicals in the drink allows me focus and concentration and also affords me a considerable amount of the vitamins I don't normally consume. All in all it allows me the ability to actually go through most of my day without feeling like I left my brain on the bedside table.

There are a lot of them that taste pretty bad, but most of them at worst taste like slightly less sweet fruit juice. This one tastes like fruit punch. Zero carb Rockstar tastes like grape dumdums (the sucker you get at the bank when you're a child or from the cheapskate houses at halloween).

And in there lies the problem... I hate fruity flavored beverages.

But good on ya' for quiting smoking! My wife is almost ready for that (I've been working her for years). If she quits, then I'll be able to.

If tried to do it on my own before, but having one person quit when the other doesn't is like trying to kick heroin when you live in an opium den.
