Ugh. I used to work at a summer camp and they put me at lifeguard on their beach one day for a rental group from Milwaukee. Even though I didn't have a license I like to think I made a difference that day when I yelled at some grown man attempting to let his young son climb up onto his shoulders so he could dive off into about a foot and a half of water.

What, you don't like that I got it from the Darwin Awards? It's recent, in the last few weeks. I'm still waiting for your approved list of sources so I can let you know what to do with it.

I'm confused by this response. Did I miss something?

Pie posted an unrelated partial blurb from another submission at the Darwin Award web site. I guess I'm not doing due diligence in declaring my source for the newspaper articles. I guess Darwin awards are slanted to the right or don't pay enough taxes. Or it could be I'm cheating in someway, I posted something offensive or perhaps I just got a new puppy.

Yes, Wino has a UK supermarket tabloid called The Express (a.k.a., Britain's most popular source of libel lawsuits) which is published by the company that prints "The Star" and a "Hot Asian Mambajambas" confused as a credible news source. You see, The Express ran a story about a helpless young woman SOMEWHERE IN RUSSIA (that's really norrowing things down for anyone who wants to do fact checking, but then this is The Express so why bother?) 19 year old who called her mother on her cell phone to GIVE A PLAY BY PLAY ACCOUNT OF BEING EATEN BY A BEAR WITHOUT PASSING OUT FROM SHOCK AS IT WAS HAPPENING. Strangely, the most sensational thing about the story was that it didn't include a description of the wonderous capabilities of the girl's cell phone provider which you'd normally expect to find as the purchaser of a full page advertisement of next to the article on the newstand edition of The Express (this was from the online edition though, leaving Wino unable to use this fine publication for other more suited purposes).



Most people wouldn't put up such a stink having the source of such dribble pointed out as being suspect, this is as Wino pointed out a not so serious thread about people finding bizarre ways of dying and not a serious political discussion, but Wino is apparently concerned that people hold The Express in the same high esteem as he does as his other sources of his information. Garbage in, garbage out, that is what Wino fear people will think of his output in other threads should he fail to defend the honor of UK's most wonderous rag, The Express.



Also, he may or may not be out of Scooby Snacks, brought to you by the avertisers of, The Express.

Which post was this? I haven't been to the Darwin Award website in quite some time. I only followed your direct links to The Express and to this latest one from the Chicago Sun Times.





Ooooo, wait there it is, a few days back. Click on the Wino's link "Eaten by Bears" for a direct link to The Express and follow the page down to see their other wonderous 100% true stories.



Update!!! Well, I just visited both the Darwin Award web site as well as their Facebook page and didn't see anything about anyone from Russia being eaten by a bear. Maybe even they have more stringent standards than Wino does here, or maybe its been covered up by some left wing conspiracy out to make Wino look silly, or maybe the Obama team has brainwashed him into thinking that he posted a link to the Darwin Award site when really it was The Express website or maybe.. hmmmm, better check that new addition to the household, maybe it's really Pippa Middleton wearing a new puppy suit hacking your posts in order to increase her exposure in the U.S. as well as to gain access to your Scooby Snacks stash!

Jesus, seems you are both going a little overboard here. But whatever, carry on. Just curious.

I'd agree. I'm not posting anything in this thread on the basis of being a credible news story or coming from a reliable source, its purely for the entertainment/shock value. I came across a gory, stomach turning death and posted. I don't have the time or inclination to vette any of these. But I guess just keep following me around like a puppy, if it gives you some sense of moral satisfaction. I freely admit I go to a vareity of sites to find this crap and take no responsibility for the veracity of any it. Won't surprise me if any or all are found to be hoax stories.



I never thought I'd have to give such a long winded disclaimer on a fucking hockey message board talking about gruesome strange deaths or injuries. Drop the god damn puck already so we can label Stalberg/Olecz/Brunette/Carcillo the scape goat and get rid of all the god damn aingst.

Not the end of the shear's I was thinking, and to be honest it's probably much worse.
