IUFLA Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 We have a thread about stupid criminals. But how about stupid people in general? Gotta go with this fella for a starter... "A Florida man was severely mauled by a black leopard after paying $150 for a “full-contact experience” at a backyard zoo, wildlife officials said."

He'll probably sue, or enter into a reality show with the misfit that owns the backyard zoo. He needs to watch out and make sure he doesn't get the Howard Baskin treatment...winding up as a tiger turd isn't very dignified... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drroogh Posted October 31, 2020 Report Share Posted October 31, 2020 I've got to go with the word presence! I've had many conversations with wild animals that went well, I'm guessing this man went in with a feeling of superiority and the Cat said H... no! My children went into a cage with a Siberian Tiger with smiles on their face, and still thank me for giving them that life experience! If only this world would learn to just put a smile on their face?! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask given your first post on this, is this thread supposed to be made up of only "Florida man" or all Darwin awards? Part of me feels like Florida man deserves one thread and all other Darwin awards deserve another. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, how about just making it about people who had a (stupid) hand in their own demise thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should Google "Florida man" and see some of the hits that come up. It's amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was never sure if it was for the fish or the haircut... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What area are you looking at? Navarre is kinda the hot place right now. Still semi reasonable real estate close to the gulf... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I would be willing to try something new. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrflynn03 Posted November 1, 2020 Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Do a youtube search for Darwin awards. Some good stuff on video. Maybe warning labels need to be removed and let nature do its thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
