HEY! Who took my cocaine?!
Yeah, that was the best shit I had that I sold to you Rando. You better get that back.
Ah, whatever. Here have another 8ball, on the house. Merry Turksgiving.
Happy Hallogivingmas! *grabs the Rando’s 8-ball and runs away giggling*
*sighs and reaches into other pocket*
Here you go Rando. You can have this -other- 8ball.
*Takes the 8 ball and non chalantly throws it into a pocket* I WIN
Oh for fukc’s sake. Rando, just meet me at Jack in the Box, away from these people, ok?
I’ll trade you these bacon cheddar potato wedges and and ultimate cheeseburger for that 8-ball.
(Wow, I’m running about 2 weeks behind on that one.)
aaaaarrrrrrrrrrgh
that’s belgian. with an a. get it right.
BT isn’t known for his spelling prowess. We just like him because he’s funny and likeable.
They see me rollin! They hatin!
*texts Captain Wow*
ZOMG You’re driving a tank!
the Captain rides in style love!
Do you think she’ll get fired again?
*receives court martial*
*texts BT, Charro, & Rando*
DAMMIT!
Wow, I remember when this happened. Demented plumber stole a tank off of a military base (can’t remember which one, we’ve got quite a few around here). I think he eventually managed to get the thing stuck on something. When he came out they shot him in the shoulder and the bullet ricocheted off his collar bone and entered his heart killing him. Kinda sad really, I wanted them to ask him WTF he was going to do with the thing.
He probaly looked for a police star..
the final hours of joe the plumber
Sad, really. Some people will do anything to be the center of attention again after their 15 minutes are up.
Nah, this guy was just a nut job. He prolly wanted to figure out how to launch shells from it.
And why would you think that’s not in Joe the Plummer’s character?
He probably wanted to have some means of defence against angry customers
*nailed it*
It was the national guard armory over by Mesa College. I was in the yellow bug.
and bitter troll stood infront of that tank over in china
And I was in that shell the boob girl was sitting on a few LOLs back.
And I wrote the app for selling/buying livers on the iphone.
And my tights almost fell off at the gay parade….
And I am the Queen…
AND IM A DURTY LIB”RALL RAWR!! WANNA TAKE YOUR GUNS AWAY AND MAKE WHITE PEOPLE POOR RAWR
Wouldn’t it just be easier to give all the guns to the poor white people, pool their money, give them a level playing field, and the survivors get all the money from the pool? That takes care of several problems.
Plus it’d be fun to watch.
You know, I thought of something similar but with gang members. Round them all up and put them on a mothballed Navy ship. Then tow it 12 miles out and drop a load of guns on the deck. We could then have a sports book in Vegas on it.
If you did it in some sort of arena with bullet proof glass separating the seating area from the playing field you could sell tickets and use the money to fund schools.
That’s fukcing BRILLIANT.
You guys are missing the real gold mine. Pay Per View!
WE NEED TO GET THAT GOING!!!111!1!!!!!!!!!1!
I love ur idea LMAO!!but i am not cruel, i’d only bet 5000 on three hicks surviving.
And I am a disgraced baseball player that pissed off everyone in New England.
Welcome to St. Louis, Julio.
and I ride kangaroos around all day and guzzle beer..
That actually sounds like an awesome life really…
Until the roo gets tired of it and starts kicking your ass and taking your beer. Then what do you have?
A drunk kangaroo.
Can you get a DUI for driving a kangaroo while the kangaroo is drunk but you’re sober?
and a sore ass…
we must perpetuate ‘riding kangaroos through sydney CBD’ eddie…
I myself prefer wombats – they’re lowered
Yeah, but they have less get up and go.. it’s like comparing a Suzuki to a Maserati.
Actually it’s not a question of what the bodywork is like, but what is under the hood. I used to have a lecturer whose car was a Porsche, (or a Lambo, or a Ferrari, one of those posh Sports cars at any rate
) but the secret was let out by one of my other lecturers who said that it was all a big con really and whilst it said whatever it was on the cover underneath it had a Vauxhall engine 
A Lotus? (probably a 1970s Esprit, Eclat or Elite) If so, then the block was based on a Vauxhall slant-4 (one side of a still-born V8) but the head was a Lotus design.
Or a Porsche 924? In which case the engine was basically a tuned version of one from a Vw LT van!
Nope!! This was actually a proper Vauxhall engine that was put in the shell of a Ferrari or somesuch basically because it was a hell of a lot cheaper to buy a shell (and associated doodads) and any old engine, and also gave him bragging rights. (I’ve a funny feeling now that it wasn’t a Porsche and it definately wasn’t a Lotus)
No way.
It was a very bizarre experience.
And you’ll notice that none of the other drivers pulled off to the shoulder when they heard the sirens.
Small correction: He never got out, and he wasn’t killed accidentally. They climbed up, opened the hatch, and shot to kill.
Yeah it was on one of those police action caught on tape or whatever shows, they actually showed them open the hatch and shot him in the head after it stopped, stating “they had no choice and took him out” or something like that, psssht no choice…
He was still in full control of the tank, trying to move it when it got stuck while officers were trying to get him to stop. OF COURSE they shot him, he was a clear, mortal danger to the officers on scene and the public at large. He ran over several vehicles and charged police cars during the chase. Scumbag got what was coming to him.
Somebody I know used to work for DARPA, and they told me that someone was getting crap over their flagpole’s size, so they bought an old training missile that was the correct size, and just used THAT! LOL
I was across the street from the armory when he took the tank. I remember we were all standing there stuck on stupid as the tank drove by. Good time, good times.
He stole it from the Marine Corps Reserve Storage area in East Miramar when Miramar was still a NAS. He had some serious mental issues and of course The Marine Corps Reserve got in trouble too for leaving the key to the hatches on the tanks in an accessible place. Of course, tanks don’t need keys to start up, but it is a multi-step process.
actually … he stole it from the national guard armory over by sharp memorial hospital here in san diego. fairly epic, but i think he had pretty much decided to die before he climbed into it.
*back to lurking*
Go go go Herbie slug bug!
GO GO BOUNCY LOHAN BREASTS!
GO GO POWER RANGERS!
In 1995 after stealing a military tank from the National Guard Armory in Kearny Mesa, San Diego, CA, a deranged man leads police on a destructive chase through San Diego, before finally getting caught on the miridian of the 163 freeway. It’s a wonder how no one was hurt or killed (except the perp himself) after this man’s rampage.
I remember he almost ran over the Weinershnitzel and he did destroy several cars and an RV.
Additionally: Shawn Timothy Nelson (1960 May 17, 1995) was a U.S. Army veteran and unemployed plumber who, at the age of 35 and under the influence of methamphetamine, stole an M60 Patton tank and took it for a “joy ride”.
More like a “destructo ride”. Seriously, what the phish!
(shut up about the spelling of “phish”)
Was the Wienerschnitzel alright?
Tasted fine to me.
Wienerschnitzel a la Holstein (sp?) is better. Top the Wienerschnitzel with tomato sauce and a fried egg, it’s quite tasty.
I remember this. He passed me by, scared the HELL out of me! My fave picture is the one with the traffic light draped over the tank.
reminds me of grand theft auto
“Grand Theft Auto: San Diego”
OMG, That was on Destroyed ijn Seconds.
fail that was a bulldozer that was customized and fitted with armor not a tank
your thinking of a different incident there pal. i remember that too. the dozer looked nothing like that….that is clearly a tank..
M-60 A1 or A3, without reactive armour.
Ok, the M-60 series could be fitted with dozer blades, but they were all, even the M-60 A2 “Starship” designed and built as main battle tanks.
Ok, the M-88 engineer/recovery vehicle was based on the M-60 chassis (but extended) but it looks nothing like the MBTs (not even the Israeli Maglach-7, which looks little like any Patton).
wished he went through the house though.
YOU’RE SICK! THE POOR PEOPLE WHO LIVED IN THAT HOUSE WOULD LOSE EVERYTHING! HOW WOULD YOU LIKE IT IF A TANK CRASHED THROUGH YOUR HOUSE!
bitter troll is insured so…might be pretty cool!
a tank drove through my house today….might work as a pick up line pretty goodly
“I Was Frozen Today!”
“Hey Baby!! Wanna come back with me and see the size of my tank”
“So, wanna go back and see what’s left of the bedroom?”
I was thinking of more a reason to skip work.
I know, I keep praying for my house to burn down so I can cash in my renter’s policy.
At least my house wouldn’t have been consumed in some stove fire.
That would be boring.
At least there’s a story to tell your friends after a tank blunders through your living room.
This is how Obama has to travel in the south?
Fail, tanks have treads spikes would do nothing but be mildly annoying having cops try and use a spike strip
-sighs- thats the joke retard….
hehe you said fail, your instantly more clever then anyone here…
No he’s not. He would be if he had said FAIL! but all he said was fail. It’s an important distinction. It only puts him in the top 90th percentile for cleverness.
thank you both im sorry im just so use to typing it i even have a macro
Not sure what the bug comment has to do with it… But the event was an awesome bizarre thing that day (yes, I live in Kearny Mesa
) Ran over at least one of my coworker’s family cars, and I had wondered “gosh why is traffic on the freeway so backed up? Huh, glad I don’t have to drive on it…” Tank boy was a classic.
Rated 5 for Slug Bug Yellow comment.
I LIVE in San Diego and what happend was a soldier got ahold of a tank and terroized San Diego specifficly the La Mesa area.
I also live in SD and work down the road from the National Guard armory in Kearny Mesa-NOT La Mesa-where the tank was stolen by some nut job. He ran over everything in his path for about 90 minutes before he threw a track and the cops shot him.
I thought he tried to jump the freeway barrier and got stuck?
He DID try to jump the barrier between north and south bound lanes on the 163, and that’s what made the tank throw a track and get stuck. Damn meth-monkey!
Damn meth monkey? Are you kidding? This was the talk of the fourth grade when it happened! It was awesome! (I really can’t believe I even remember what grade I was in when it happened.)
What I never understood was why they needed a dozen cop cars following 1 guy in a tank. It’s not like 1 car couldn’t evade if he went for it, and the others would do more good closing on ramps until he was past.
I don’t get it.
You know, when the cops are in ‘hot pursuit’ they will try and get a patrol car ahead of the speeder and lay down a spike strip that will blow out the tires.
Oooooooooh, okay.
…
…
Meh.
Only in this case, they’d need a combination spike strip / land mine.
a land mine strip ?
Why are they strip mining the 163?
For the platinum dust that comes out of the catalytic convertors.
stripper mining?
Sounds like a good way to get an STD.
Anti-personnel landmines wouldn’t be effective against a tank – but special anti-tank mines are made, which are much more powerful, and require much more weight than a person stepping on it to set it off.
A number of years ago some idiot stole a tank from the national guard
armory in San Diego and drove thru parts of the city. they eventually
got the hatch open and shot him
How did they do that?? Get someone to go to the top of the tank, knock on the hatch and shout “Candygram for Mr Tank Driver, Candygram for Mr Tank Driver”.
OMG it’s teh tank
hey, isn’t this the incident where that dude stole the tank from camp pentleton? if i recall the police finally got the hatch open and shot him didn’t they?
Reading above comment skills are surprisingly minimal in this one. Use the force. Of your mouse scroll wheel.
I think the caption would be better if it were just the “slug bug yellow” reference.
OK I give up … what is the slug bug reference? Please edumacate this non engrish speaking person.
*holds hands up in surrender*
The Volkswagon Beetle is referred to as a Bug, and in a travel game as a slug bug, or punchbug. The game comes from the 70’s when they started popping up like daisy’s everywhere. People traveling in large, comfortable American cars would punch others in the arm, if they were the first one to call out “slug bug” or “punchbug.”
If you didn’t notice, that is a VW Beetle in the picture.
Also the color of the bug would usually be called out in case multiple bugs were spotted at the same time thus distinguishing them from each other.
We played that road game, but we called it beetle bug.. sure made the time go by quicker!
Thanks for the explanation. I did see the yellow VW but wasn’t sure about the reference to ‘’slug’. I have added a new item to my knowledge of Americana.
Oh, and you’re supposed to say “Happy Turkey Day” (“Happy Thanksgiving” is also acceptable, but not as fun).
Jokes are THE hardest thing to understand from another country. I spent hours trying to explain cartoons to Chinese office mates while in graduate school.
Is that a real Type 1, or the “retro-styled” Golf (Rabbit?) coupe?
He was driving in his underwear. The tank got stuck on the barrier and threw a track. Then they shot the driver when they could have just tear gasses his ass.
“Slug Bug Yellow”
DAMN IT YOU.
WTF is going on??
I ask myself that question every day.
Look! It’s Bumblebee!
he was just leading a 25-man on onyxia.
Bad news hun, Ony lives in Dustwallow Marsh, not southern California.
