    Default Not sure if this is really funny or really sad

    Rapper and anti-knife campaigner DJ Ironik has been stabbed by muggers who robbed him of his jewellery.
    Since he was just stabbed in the butt ... hmmm, no, too easy ... I'm leaning towards really funny.

    And his .... name .... is .... ironik.

    Ziggy - this might be proof in the existance of some divine power. A cruel jokster, yeah. But still.

    Is ... is the anti-knife campaigning a joke or something? You know, he'd bring ironic?

    I'm so confused.

    People who don't want their victim to run behind them. It's not uncommon at all; because it's effective and under normal circumstances doesn't lead to lethal injuries. (important if you are ever going to wind up in court).

    Rapper and Anti Knife Campaigner sounds like the most incompatible job and lifestyle combination since vegetarian and butcher.
    I enjoy blank walls.

    This looks funny, but it's sad.



    charlie and spike are two kittens with myotonia congenita, otherwise known as 'fainting goat' syndrome. at the slightest sound or movement, the kittens respond by collapsing and falling into a rigid paralysis which lasts about a minute before they return to normal.If a pin drops they drop too. This condition has hardly ever before been diagnosed in a cat, is rarely found in dogs and is more common in goats. The kittens are able to walk, but they cannot run or jump. aside from this they are normal.

    Poor kittens.

    And I don't like the person who leaves bells for them to play with.
    We're stuck in a bloody snowglobe.

    My first rxn was they should be put down. My second rxn was, if they're neutered and someone's willing to take care of them, then ok. I just don't see them living w/out suffering in an ordinary household. Thanks for the fucking fun post Ziggy. Dammit.

    I'm not really certain, but I think somebody told me or I read about it. Of course I was the intended victim too once. But that didn't quite work out the way the attacker expected.

    I've not heard that annecdote. Care to recap?

    It happened here in Istanbul. A female friend of mine had the not so smart habit of getting the wrong type of guys all worked up. One of them imagined himself to be her boyfriend. Then one night we're having dinner at a restaurant and this madman comes in and starts shouting at her and when I said he should shut the hell up he got angry at me and started threathening me. The restaurant staff threw him out. When we left the restaurant later on at first I thought he had gone. But he hadn't. He came running accross the street with a knife in his hand. I made a rather unexpected move (kicked against his knife hand) which caused the knife to slide back and into his hand. It was a bloody mess but at least it wasn't from my blood.

    O by the way, what I forgot, by stabbing the gluts you can immobiliize a person with a relative small knife.

    I imagine Matt Damon as Jason Bourne kicking total ass with nothing but extreme training and a piece of lint.

    Anyone who shortens the word 'reaction' to 'rxn' should be put down, more like.
