I worked for a dental practice for a few years, so pretty much saw everything. Kids with rotten teeth, accident victims, self-inflicted smashed face...
Wait a minute @Mokey you can’t just casually put that out there. That’s a story in its own right. Whatthefuck?

@mokey said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@jc Haha. Male. Drunk. On a table and mouthplanted onto one of those metal pipe footrest things that used to run the length of bars. The photos were more than a bit horrific, I have to say.
A curb stomp and too afraid to go to the cops?

@mokey said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@jegga Nope. Private function, heaps of witnesses and his mum had to rush him to A&E at Waikato.
What . A . Munter.
His mum must have been so proud. Was he feral or just a drunken fool ?

@mokey said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@jegga Drunken fool. From what I remember of the story, tried to show off busting some moves on a table and it all went horribly wrong.
Lots of youtube videos out there showing the ill advised "fail compilations" set to Annie's It's a hard knock life
They all look painful.

@antipodean haha some I simply cant watch, just too brutal.
On NatGeo I enjoy watching the Science of Stupid, plenty of them are just idiots...I always think to myself 'well what did you think would happen...' then realise they clearly didnt think.

@taniwharugby I can't watch those falls simply because I can't handle the involuntary shudder that one's testicles emit when the falling idiot makes contact with the ground.
That's some hard wired, deep evolutionary shit going on there
What? It's only me that gets that dreadful feeling?

If you are opposed to meat products would you eat pretend meat?

For people who purport to not want to eat meat, it is a funny preoccupation to have. Perhaps they are trying to temp meat eaters who would consider swinging to the other side?

I had an ex who was vege simply because she couldn't stomach eating meat. She'd try all those not bacon's etc as substitutes.

It's like the electric vehicles of the food world. Meat is incredibly water and carbon intensive to farm. One of my vegetarian mates drives a fat V8, on teh basis that he doesn't eat meat and therefore has massive carbon credits. I can't disagree with him!
But also, meat is getting crazy expensive. If/when they get realistic meat substitutes, the price will scale and scale fast.

As one of those idiots, I resent being called an idiot. Oh, wait...
But yeah - certainly did plenty of stupid shit when I was young, dumb, and drunk. Luckily - pre- the days of ubiquitous video-capable phones.
And - most of the time, I was lucky enough to get away with whatever stupid shit I was doing.
Worst case - breakdancing on a Burger-King counter, dropping to the floor in the middle of "the Caterpillar" - still got the scar on the bottom-of-chin from that one.EDIT: Oh - unless you count the broken foot from jumping into a zoo enclosure. I guess that's probably worse, when I think about it... both dumber, and worse injury.

Did she eat any other kind of meat or is that why you split up?

jumping into a zoo enclosure
I have to ask - what was in the enclosure with you and your broken foot?
Clearly not something that feeds off people. Or the tenant was not home at the time
-
@snowy said in Alternative needed from the absolute crap of stuff.co.nz:
@canefan Yeah but I question the challenge of jumping into the tortoise enclosure for example?
I think that it is safe to assume the the tenants were in otherwise the word "enclosure" is a bit inaccurate.
At Auckland Zoo (I assume this is normal at any zoo) sometimes the animals are moved from one enclosure to another, so some days I go with Ms CF Jnr and the tigers (her favourite) are sitting in one partition or another, or aren't in there at all, obviously out back somewhere. I assume the tenant wasn't one of the nasties, otherwise kruse would not have lived to tell the tale
