Not a spudgun, but a word of warning about the dangers of ricochet at close range, courtesy of this Darwin award candidate :roll: :D

I've heard they breed like rabbits (Darwins and the like), as such we may have such a generation on our hands :lol: :lol: :lol:

Yeah why the hell do the stupid people breed so fast?
Our gene pool is going from clear and clean to having a bunch of kiddies peeing in it, soon no sum of cholrine (natural selection) will be able to solve our problem....

Anyone happen to see the new Darwin awards movie? I recently 'got hold of it'. I don't want to ruin it, but there is a cameo role in it that most of us will enjoy.

Yeah, nothing great, but it is really worth the watch.
Just watch for the cameo role in it by our two favourite people in the movie industry should I say.

Easy, stupidity tends to go hand in hand with no concept of birth control.

I think the chances of reproducing now at his age and with a load of birdshot to the lower body are pretty slim :D

What a dumbass. A load of shot to a CONCAVE METAL object only a few feet from him.

Also, "one remaining nut left", (no, not that nut JSR), implies that he didn't even know how to remove a tire in the first place. You loosen all nuts in sequential order gradually, so you don't have just one left on there will all that tension on it.

Not only is it a disgrace that this guy got a hold of a weapon, it's a disgrace he even got hold of a tire iron.

Considering the incident, he'd be lucky to have one left :D

Hey well you win some and lose some, and in this case, he would be lucky to not have lost anything(you know what i mean JSR).

Lol, i find that there is no better way to describe him. Well at least spudgunners dont get too frustrated with things where they have to take there gun out and shoot something without thinking. Lets hope the family isnt the same :roll:
