Members MsGuy Posted December 19, 2013 Members Posted December 19, 2013 OK, it being the beginning of Awards Season and all, to liven things up over the holidays, I'm proposing a "Dumb Ass" contest to find 2013's biggest retard. To get things started, I nominate the following ijits: 1: Eldo Kim, the Harvard undergrad who closed half the campus with bomb threats e-mailed from his own computer. http://www.nbcnews.com/technology/failing-grade-alleged-harvard-bomb-hoaxer-needed-more-tor-cover-2D11767028 2: Cody Conner, 17 year old who was talked out of robbing a store when the clerk offered him a job. He filled out the application using his real name. 3: Anonymous Dumbass Words fail me (AS, maybe you can help me out here). Well, the squeamish bitch is shutting me down for now, but I'm hoping some of you will be able top the above nominees. wayout 1 Quote

Members MsGuy Posted December 19, 2013 Author Members Posted December 19, 2013 Technically Lee Paige, a Federal DEA agent, is not eligible as this incident occurred in 2012 but I got to thinking, "Who cares? This level of dumbassedness is timeless." http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=AmRN00KbCr8 Our hero subsequently sued for improper disclosure of his identity. He lost. He appealed. The court of appeals smacked him again.http://legaltimes.typepad.com/blt/2012/01/dea-agent-involved-in-self-shooting-loses-appeal-in-dc-circuit.html wayout 1 Quote

Wichita police Sgt. Bruce Watts said one of the brothers was taken to a hospital and the other to jail after Friday's explosion. The Wichita Eagle reported that the injured 27-year-old brother is in serious but stable condition with second-degree burns on his hands, arms and chest. Watts said the explosion happened after one of the brothers went to the kitchen to refuel the butane torches they planned to use to light their bongs. The brother emptied a couple large cans of butane lighter fluid, leaking butane into the air. Eventually, butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, causing the blast. "The butane vapor reached the pilot light in the furnace, and as you might expect, ka-boom," Watts told the newspaper. The injured brother was wearing a lottery T-shirt during the explosion. His girlfriend reportedly loaded him and some children into a car and drove him to the emergency room of a nearby hospital, where she dropped him off and left, according to the newspaper.
