Why aren't these dangerous weapons regulated??

Let's ban all jump ropes!
Especially the semi-"auto" assault jump ropes. Like this one....

Should slice off the mother's hand for letting her daughter play with a jump rope in a moving vehicle.

STUPID REDACTED.

Last time I tried jumping rope in the car, I kept hitting my head on the roof.

Just watch. Now all jump ropes will have a federally mandated eight page warning attached to them.

And the winner of this year's Isadora Duncan Award goes to...

Imagine if she was doing "double dutch" jump rope at the time. She would have lost both hands.

Had the mother been wielding a car antenna at the time, she could have wedged it between the rope and the girl's hand at the last second and prevented this tragedy.

~Dutch

FF fer Dutch.

Ha! That is so cruel. Funny as hell but cruel too!

Took a couple seasons after Isadora's death afore scarves came back into fashion.

Be Well.

She was channeling Isadora Duncan at the time.

~Zat

Oops, missed that one.

Dutch and Zat haff to share that last FF.

Be Well.

I missed it too...sorry, Zat, for camping on your joke.

You've really got to hand it to her.

Will she get a five finger discount?

This kind of freak accident is every parent's nightmear.

Stem Cells still bad!

You insensitive fucks. What if that was your kid?

Shotgun-
re: "You insensitive fucks. What if that was your kid?"

These are not real people to FWTHOM and RideOn and the others. The people they know and love are nothing like other pretend people.

Betel,

I completely understand. There are people, and then there are the others.

....better change your name again Betel. In fact please do, before you start another crying jag.

I've had plenty of close calls when growing up... broken arm, leg, fingers, toes, 38 stitches in my face, both ankles severely sprained, knocked out my front teeth, all before 21.

But to lose your hand is major. An't nothing to joke about.

May the Castrating Fairy visit you all tonight and snip you good.

"these are not real people to FWTHOM and RideOn and the others."

RideOn is the dumbest fuck on this site. He's too stupid and cowardly to actually debate anyone.

You would do best to ignore him, Shotgun.

Wow, that's sooo funny, or rather it would be if RideOn were speaking of a fictional character. Well, in some sense, I guess he is - but only because he has a trait that would get the average eight-year-old labeled as having sociopathic tendencies.

I'd like Ride On to make some more jokes about the ACTUAL little girl who had her hand ripped off.

It's just a wealth of hahas, isn't it?

""Stem Cells still bad!

-Bush""

Huh? How do you slip Bush into a thread like this, Common? Are you suggesting that stem cells would somehow apply here?

I really don't understand what's happening to us. If "Ride On" were a troubled little kid I would understand (almost), but he's an old fart, and yet he takes little pleasures in the suffering of actual people. I guess I could almost understand that a child might not be able to make the distinction between fiction and reality, but an adult like Ride On?

Wasn't this a scene at the beginning of "Napoleon Dynamite" where he drags the rope with the HeMan figure attached? Not that I think this six-yr-old has likely seen that movie.

Embryonic stem cells do not grow anything except tumors.

Adult stem cells much better and more promising.

Huh? How do you slip Bush into a thread like this, Common?

He calls it RLS (Restless Leg Syndome), but it's really UKNS (Uncontrollable Knee Jerk Syndrome)

Fuck. It's a fucking joke. I've seen far worse go unchastised in this forum. Get over it.

Adult stem cells much better and more promising.

As stated by "abortionismurder.com", or whatever peer reviewed scientific source you got this from?

Wait, was it an Ann Coulter rant that convinced you?

Goatman-
You're right. It's really funny.

My high school boyfriend's brother was water skiing and had the double ropes. He let go and the one of the triangle hand grips --as he fell backwards in the water--ripped his foot half off.

Awful--really. He had a promising football career.

Thank God he was ok.

And it was brought to us by that loving humanist, Zatoichi.

LOL. Idiot lost her hand!

(please!)

Great game! Are you guys watching??

Sorry to Lisa (INWI) and Farve with the Jets.

SD is kicking some butt!

And we need it as we lost the first two games

Where is INWI??

Finally done with work for the day!!

BetelG: Your rage against the joking about this terrible story is disingenuous unless you also gig Zatoichi, Dutch, and DethSpud for their tee-heeing over the Isadora Duncan reference. Or you can continue as you have, using it as simply an excuse to selectively rant against those righties with whom you typically disagree, while ignoring similar joking in adjacent postings by those leftis with whom you typically agree. Or you can put on another tampon. But your crocodile tears are weak.

Murphy-
I think most of us weren't watching whatever stupid game you were watching, in case that's not clear by now.

You're right. It's really funny.

???Why can't you ever quote me correctly? Did I ever say it was funny? No. I said I've seen much worse go unchastised.

Please don't misquote me bOoB, I mean boyd.

"Did I ever say it was funny? No. I said I've seen much worse go unchastised."

Yawn. There's Goatman playing semantical games...again. He defends the "fucking joke" and then claims he wasn't.

Of course Goatman wasn't defending this. He simply avoids the question and points a finger at "Timmy",or whomever, who spit on the floor and got away with it.

He avoids the subject entirely by claiming a slight by some unspecified generic villain of some unspecified crime.

It's a brilliant tactic if you are stupid, or think others are.

Pffft. Your attacks are focused on one group over the other. Your single example is a soft-pedal compared to your sanctimonious reaction to Goatman and RideOn. I know it's tough to admit your response is lopsided. If you have another riveting retort like the last one, I'll let it go for the night and read it tomorrow.

The problem Goat and pisstrough have is that this is not a generic or theoretical example, but rather a thread started by someone I criticized for this very thread less than an hour ago.

There's Goatman playing semantical games...again. He defends the "fucking joke" and then claims he wasn't.

Do you ever grow weary of twisting words like a 4th dimensional pretzel, null? I merely stated worse jokes have been made without condemnation. You and boyd have twisted those words into something completly unrecognizable to the original context.

What is this pathological obssession you have with me that makes you do this? To say it is odd is an understatement. Get over me, please! And if you can't, don't twist my words and meanings when you quote me.

Yawn. Enough of your game playing, sophist.

I was hoping to hear you say, "No more of my twisting of words, goat".

Oh well.

Your obessession with me continues

Goat is nothing but an ass and does try to contribute to the thread, just trys to invoke anger of other posters.

He is just an ass.

No one is obsessed with you, Goatman. Get over yourself. When I read your bullshit, I may or may not respond. Deal with it, crybaby.

No one is obsessed with you, Goatman.

I hope you believe that. Every tete-a-tete we've had this week was you attacking me first, never vice versa. If it's not an obssession, it's at least severe trolling. And I'm not sure where the line is drawn between the two.

Well, thank you for this brilliant contribution, runnysore! LOL

Ever hear this story about rocks and glass houses? Google it if you haven't. It'll sound very familiar.

Goat always, and I stress always in the extreme, attacks the posters and never ever really addresses the issues of discussion.

You've got a sense of humor and a sense of irony, both unintended.

reminds me of the time a kid i knew was flying a kite and an f-16 or f-18 was flying over, caught the kite and the dad had to grab the kid and tell him to LET GO!

To all you assholes making jokes about the gun control issue, get a life. The poor kid lost her hand. Get over yourselves.

How high was that kid's kite? Or how low was that F-16?

Was the pilot hotdogging over people's rooftops to be able to catch the kite's string?

You're kidding right?

Goat always, and I stress always in the extreme,attacks the posters and never ever really addresses the issues of discussion.

If I produce a post that proves you wrong, will you apologize for lying and admit what an idiot you are?

I'll go ahead and answer fro you. Of course you won't because you are all hot air and no substance, runnysore. LOL What a lying ass you are

no, chris - i am not kidding - without totally giving away the WHOLE story - check 1984 newspapers.

Wow, nanc. It almost sounds too crazy to be true but I believe ya.

"Wow, nanc. It almost sounds too crazy to be true but I believe ya."

Sounds like a fish story to me. What a crock. Like kite string wouldn't break? Was the kid using steel cables or something?

I was watching some parasailers in Mazatlan a couple of years ago. There was a kid up in one. The wind picked up and he was so light, they couldn't get him down -- even with the boat moving with the wind. The parents were panicking on the beach.

They should mail the hand to Sarah Palin - she can get $150 for it.

...and the crybabies (NULLandVOID, Boyd/Betelg/Barney/Cooper et al, Alexis) come a runnin' right on cue. It's a riot. Damn, I guess they just miss the DudSpud's "fuck em', fuck em' with a stick routine". This is a blog idiots. NO, NULLandVOID do NOT again ask, and nash your teach demanding that I give you my home address so you can teach me how lucky I am that this is only a blog. But, your outrage is touching. ROFLMAO.

nash your teach

funny shit

This is a tragic freak accident. Very sad for the people involved.
But I still understand the use of black humor...or now that everything is racist...I should say dark humor.

May you burn wherever it is the DR Lefties want you to burn for that comment Kerrin. LOL

Huh? How do you slip Bush into a thread like this, Common? Are you suggesting that stem cells would somehow apply here?

#24 | Posted by PublicTrough

This would have never happened if Bush hadn't cut off federal money for the research. Everybody knows that.

BETEL, I just read through the whole thread above from yesterday. I think you may have reacted too soon to the issue that came up about joking. I think Publictruth and Goatman were bringing up the impression that you immediately jumped on some of the more con people here, but waited half an hour to go after the original guy who posted it. In fact, at 10:16pm you said something about FWTHOM not caring, when his only posting in the whole thread was at 9:17pm, and was nothing close to what you said he posted (see below). I'm not taking sides, but looking at it objectively, your 10:16 posting looks like you just scanned the thread for any repub names and then blasted out a half-correct retort. That might be what they were talking about.

FWTHOM's ONLY POST:

This kind of freak accident is every parent's nightmear.

#17 | Posted by BetelG at 2008-09-22 10:16 PM

I think you definitely made a knee-jerk mistake, and they called you on it. Aside from their personal attacks on you, I think they had a valid point. Just my two cents.

BetelG just doesn't understand....he's still trying to figure out which one you are addressing. Let's see....is he Boyd, Badweek, Betelg, Barney, Cooper or someone else today?
