This is kickin' rad. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

I never miss an opportunity to introduce people to my favourite weird animal, the Jewel Caterpillar.

Same. I'd try a taste of the middle stage too; it looks like some sort of nouvelle cuisine hors d'oeuvre.

And he murdered two of his friends by doing so. That tends to be left out when his memory is glorified.

Truth, but I would attribute that more on the fact that the celebrity is usually the one remembered.

Like how two other people died when Jayne Mansfield's car plowed into the back of a truck. She wasn't even the driver.

And his family just couldn't believe it and accused everyone of a cover-up where he was an innocent victim whose drink was spiked with cocaine while someone else was driving. I'm sure to this day they still believe he was innocent of killing himself and two other people and that everyone just blamed him because......?

If I had to give up the millions I just started banking on, for the fault of someone else, I doubt I would act more objectively if it were my son.

The dude rolling around with the red rag on his helmet suggests this is an airsoft game, so it's likely not a legit flashbang. Still as loud as a gunshot, but it won't leave you on the ground.

I'm pretty sure that's airsoft or paintball so I doubt it's a full power flashing.

I thought it was a training exercise of some sort. If it's just fat dudes playing cowboy then it is automatically not bad rear end. Sorry.

When I was a kid we used BB guns and our grenades were CO2 canisters with M80s taped to them. Kids these days... "air soft" :clint:

When you throw one, instead of yelling "fire in the hole!" do you yell "smile, you son of a bitch!”?
