My grandfather had a doctor at one point that was in every real sense named "Buster Highman"

EDIT: Or something close to it on the last spelling.

Yeah, that's pretty epic.

Not really like, more find interesting in a morbid kinda way. Saw the documentary Grizzly man yesterday, about a guy who lived out in the wild with some bears recording them, eventually getting killed by the bears with his girlfriend. Well before getting killed he must have turned on the camera, there was no footage, but there was about a six minute audio of them getting killed. It's never been released, but there's a section in the link below that describes what could be heard.

A pretty horrible way to die.

Dislike: That Darren Brown didn't REALLY explain how he did the lottery prediction trick. There was some BS about getting a group of people to work together doing some random maths and through group bonding managing to predict the lottery numbers. And then he gave a second possibility, of having an inside man, and putting extra heavy balls into the mix-up so they would come out of the draw, but saying that it was illegal and so he would never have done such a thing. Kinda disappointing. I wouldn't be surprised if it was just a mirror trick, whatever it was he would have had to have been 100% sure he was correct, and the only way to do that would be to somehow write the numbers on the balls straight after the draw was made.

You have to remember that people who die from filming/living with/generally fucking with animals had a choice to get a real job. On the one hand, that's a fucked up way to die, on the other hand, he was living in a field of bears in a tent with no gun or anything. Fucking stupid.

[Saz]

Well personally I consider filming animals and observing their behaviour to be a pretty important job. More important than stacking shelfs or sitting in an office doing some meaningless work, atleast.

But anyway, I do agree that he was an idiot to not have any protection though. From the clips of him talking to the camera he came off as a really arrogant guy, thinking of himself as some holier-than-thou, 'eco-warrior'. In the article it said he had been living with the bears for 5 years, and had only recently stopped carrying bear spray (whatever the hell that is), so he probably was pretty confident that he wouldn't be attacked at that point. I feel sorry for his girlfriend more than anything, she must have really fucking loved him to stay with him out in the wilderness surrounded by bears.

How is that important?

Getting mauled by a bear when camping in the middle of a field filled with bears. No Shit Sherlock.

[Pinky]

bear spray is usually special pepper spray that has been tested and approved for use against bears. they're monstrous animals, so normal sprays aren't considered to be reliable

in other news, yikes

How is that important?

To learn new things about their behaviour, document their lives?

[Jack]

And that's more important than your taxes? Fail.

Hancock sequel!

[Saz]

Wth, how do you know he didn't pay taxes? I'm pretty sure he didn't stay out in the wilderness for 5 years straight, probably was only there for short periods of time, and then I'm guessing he went back the real world.

Edit: Boooooo

[Jack]

You said camping with bears was more important work than being in an office. If I had to choose one for the well-being and perpetuation of society, I would leave Yogi the fuck alone and work for the IRS.

Some girl once asked me if I had German family. She said I looked German. It took a lot of willpower not to slap that ho.

Oh nein, du kannst nicht bitchslappen die Mädchen!

That said, I could really imagine you being a german biker, though the BBJ pic does help.

BBJ actually stands for Big Black Jack-ass.

Love you.

That's the sound he's going to make when he's pounding my ass with a sledge. Take that any way you want.

Wow. This is not your best cameo.
