Tust me, it was a thread. Rush has people who read FR for him every morning before he goes on the air.
Hmm, wonder if this 12 gauge magnum slug will bounce off the skull or just ruffle some hairs.
LOL. (That's not too disrespectful is it?)
Trust me on this one: If you forget to bring along a back-up RPG, you probably don't want to find out. Gentle Ben there was eventually found to have four 38 caliber slugs along with twelve 7mm slugs inside his body.
I grew up summering every year near Yellowstone. We had a name for these types: "Tourons", a cross between a tourist and a moron.
This sort of thing happens every day in Yellowstone. It's amazing the carnage isn't massive, with as many morons who wander about the place in a state of oblivion.
This may be my favorite Discovery Channel program of all time. I love when they are testing the suit by hammering him with aluminum baseball bats. If Troy's invention has yet to make him wealthy, its only because there is no justice in this world.
There was one, whose dressed out hide was 12 feet long, that after he was eventually brought down was found to have about a hundred bullets in him, some going back years. He was bad tempered to begin with, and didn't improve over time.
Here's my favorite one:

Actually I posted the wrong thread. The one I meant to post was about a guy who picked up a snake to carry it across the road so it wouldn't get run over. The guy was an animal rights idiot and the snake (either a copperhead or rattler) bit him.
It was posted on FR long ago.
Now that was dumb!!!!!
Don't be so hard on yourself. Everybody posts the wrong thread once in a while.
I loved the movie "Grizzly Man"...I thought it was comedy (the liberal is eaten by his friend the bear)
Pompeian Dogs On the 30th of August, 1787 the bodies of a dog and his owner were found alone in a room in the ìHouse of the Vestals.î The bones of the man had been visibly gnawed. The story goes that the man and the dog had, by taking shelter in this room, become the only two living things to survive the terrible eruption. They had food and water enough to stay alive for several weeks, all the while unable to escape. They were still alive when Titusís rescue teams arrived, but their shouts were not heard through the dense layer of ash and pumice that had buried them. The man, forever loyal to his pet, which he had saved from the eruption, did not kill and eat it, even to prolong his own life. Instead, several weeks after their entombment he died of starvation. The dog, facing the same choice as his owner, chewed on the bones of his dead master. But it was in vain for all this served to do was prolong his own misery for another couple of weeks. Another story involves a chained dog that had been abandoned by his owners as they fled the eruption. The story goes that the owners had left the dog to guard the house, planning to return as soon as the eruption abated. The dog avoided being buried by the falling ash by climbing on it as it accumulated around him. But these efforts too were in vein as the unfortunate dog was overwhelmed by the volcanic surges that swept through the city.
. I just nod to Darwin.
It's almost as if some intelligence designed it this way to have the gene pool self clean itself. Naaaaaa, it's just some sort of freak accident.
Maybe it was a typo.
The Alaska Game Person I talked with said the eaten body was not a shot taken in Alaska.
Still, it is very descriptive, just the thing for all members of all of GangGreen's assorted, sordid organizational members to watch for at least 30 seconds.
Ya' know, I've been thinking. My Savage 99 in 7mm Mag holds 3 in the clip and one in the throat. That makes for 2 very scary and rushed reloads with ALL of my rounds hitting flesh. I don't want to take anything away from that guy, but twelve rounds? 8 on the fly? I'm just not aware of any rifle that would dead load 6 rounds in a hunting/sporting configuration in that size. Help me out here.
