One thing that I find especially odd about L.A. Beast is how normal certain areas of his life are, like personal hygiene. He's got really straight, white teeth, he maintains his facial hair, he seems reasonably fit, his place isn't a complete hovel, etc.

It really makes you wonder just what's wrong with him. The guy's eaten anything and everything that isn't outright fatal: spoiled milk, a gallon of Tabasco sauce, pencils (the whole pencil all the way to the eraser), tons of expired food, cacti, several pounds of sugar-free candy, etc. Every time he does it he seems terrified and unsure of himself, but goes on with it anyway. He keeps swearing it off and then goes right back to something new.

Like, the guy can't be right in the head. That much should seem obvious just from one video, but the consistency with which he destroys his body and hurts himself for attention is really telling.

I'm sure at least some(lets be honest, its probably all) of his identify and feeling of self-worth is wrapped up in this L.A. Beast thing. Its probably easy to say he's going to quit when he's sick from drinking spoiled milk, but then reality sets in and he realizes that the alternative is to get a lovely boring job like the rest of us. As sad as it is, this is in all probability the most notoriety he'll ever get for anything he ever does for the rest of his life, so its not easy to walk away from something like that even if its causing you physical pain.

I remember driving down an interstate one late night and suddenly there was a tree in the middle of the road. Then for the next few miles there were demolished remains of trees, cars pulled off the highway, and finally a truck that still had around half a load of trees in the back.

I don't think this person has that excuse.

I mean, at least pro football gets you glory and lots of money. Plus, people get into sports because they find it fun to play sports in the first place. It's pretty obvious that LA Beast gets no kind of pleasure (at least as we'd call it) from making himself sick or filling his mouth with needles, and he always seems to realize that it's an awful idea and hesitate before actually doing it. It's almost like he has some kind of masochistic compulsion.

dont even TRY it, pal

I've had this happen to me, but it only sheared off my windshield wiper instead of cracking the windshield. When you see it coming, everything in your mind is telling you "ahh there's no loving way it's just going to float there long enough to hit me" because you can't internalize that it's flying forward at 50 mph.

Getting off the highway with snow smeared on the windshield without any wiper blades was almost more of a white knuckle experience than getting hit with the ice.

In some states, it's the law that you have to, in others it's not. If it is the law, it's generally of the form "We can write you a ticket for $smallnumber if you don't clean it off, and if snow/ice causes damage to another car we can write you a ticket for $biggernumber."


quote:

Like if his dashboard cam got the license plate could the other driver be responsible for damages?

Possibly, a lot of that will be up to the individual insurance adjuster. On one hand, it's debris that flew off the followed car, and he has a responsibility to maintain a safe car; like, if his bumper was held on by string and bailing wire and flew off and was struck by a following car, he'd have liability there, or if he had cargo in the bed of his pickup and didn't have it secured and it flew out and was struck by a following car, same thing. The existence of a state law establishing that you have to clean ice off your car would make it easier to claim negligence on his part. On the other hand, the following car has the responsibility to leave enough space behind a followed vehicle to avoid things like that. But it's complicated. Like, if you're driving past a building and ice slides off the building's roof and falls on your car, you'd need to file a claim against your comprehensive policy, if you just have collision you're SOL. If you're driving past a building and a bunch of ice falls in front of your car and you drive into the pile, that'd be a collision. So in other words I don't know.

Horses are so loving dumb and their natural response to anything is "flip out and break legs/kill self". I don't mean "anything scary" just "anything". For instance a big riding barn had a turkey farm next door. The turkeys would just stand there behind a fence, but almost every time a horse went by they'd get spooked by the turkeys. The same horses would get spooked every time, for years. Some horses injured them selves after getting so started by the existence of turkeys that they had to build a big wall to prevent them from seeing them. For a while the horses, not used to the fence, would get spooked by the new wall. Also someone once left some piece of gardening equipment in the field and just seeing it there was enough to cause some horses to get into a panic and injure them selves.

Tons of pretty sad stories of horses killing them selves too because a rat or a bug or forgetting there was a wall there was enough to spook the horse into trying to jump out of their little horse-barn cubicle thing and some how cutting them selves in half on the door, or breaking their legs as they thrash in a panic.

These were all dressage horses though, which seem to be bred to be as hosed up as possible. A big cool draft horse with furry boots pulling wagons (as in actually working for a living) seem to be wayyyy more chill and don't kill them selves because they saw an object somewhere within their field of view.

My Niece rides horses, or wants to at least, but since she's tiny they can't let her on actual horses yet so they've been letting her ride the little introduction pony who is just the chillest thing ever. He's also the fattest pony on the planet. He is the Kate Beaton fat pony IRL and more than once has broken down an electric fence just to go out and eat all the grass and other plants until he gets sick from over eating.

Unfortunately, the judges decided that nets were unfair (as they had been banned in the old show and apparently forgotten to plug that hole when drafting the rules for the new season) and ordered a rematch.

Yeah there used to be really strict rules against using nets or tangling devices but for this season they rewrote that rule so that technically it didn't say that but you could tell that was still the spirit of the rule. The Complete Control team thought they'd found a loophole so they pulled this stunt on the Ghost Raptor and absolutely everyone turned on them in about .05 of a second. It was a dick move and it was really satisfying to see them get their asses kicked in the rematch.
