[–]Z0idberg_MD 3 points4 points ago

I still say, "This is he" when I answer the phone. (Although, the sentence could have used a comma and, you know, a period. "My god, it's he.")

[–]Shin-LaC 233 points234 points ago

The ATF decided to reclassify that guy's jaws as weapons after the incident, and, since they were made in the 20th century, they technically qualify as "modern weaponry" by some definitions. The bureau later reversed its decision, but the quotes stayed.

[–]frozenphil 155 points156 points ago

I don't care if this isn't true, I'm believing it.

[–]Timmmmbob 106 points107 points ago

Some people think quoting something is the same as emphasising it with bold or italics. I have no idea why.

[–]treseritops 30 points31 points ago

When I worked at a McDonald's in high school the boxes of fries has a message that read "SALT THE FRIES" (with the quotes). I knew it was for emphasis but that didn't stop me from wondering what salting the fries was supposed to mean with a wink. Hey bud, don't forget to uh... "salt the fries" wink.

[–]gzoont 34 points35 points ago

I suppose a stick "could" be considered a modern weapon.

[–]used_fapkins 56 points57 points ago

Weapon? Absolutely.

Modern? Not so much

It actually did quite alot, he killed a bear with it.

[–]Miceli123 23 points24 points ago

For emphasis, probably easier than engraving in bold.

[–]flare561 104 points105 points ago

If only we had another style to indicate emphasis. I hear that Italians are known for emphasizing words in their sentences. Maybe we could call that style Italy-esque? No that sounds silly. Let's just put quotes around it, it's not like those are commonly used to denote anything, and asterisks are just plain silly.

One man's take on verbosity


 

  Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), the 1954 Nobel prizewinner for literature, defended his concise style against a charge by William Faulkner that he "had never been known to use a word that might send the reader to the dictionary."[4] Hemingway responded by saying, "Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use."[5]

 

Source: this Wikipedia article on Verbosity.

 

 

Neologisms referenced above:


  1. embiggen
  1. cromulent
  1. intragnisent

 

 

Ostentatiously chosen vocabulary


  1. loquacity
  • the quality or state of being very talkative

  • for this case, refers to an instance of talkativeness

  1. sesquipedalian
  • characterized by the use of long words

 

 

In conclusion:


  • Thought I'd save others time looking these up.

  • Regarding the comment from Wheat_Grinder above...

    • Wheat_Grinder states the following:

        Then we must make our loquacity all the more sesquipedalian.

    • Upon substitution of the summary definitions above, a rough translation is realized:

        Then we must make our state of talkativeness increasingly characterized by long words.

  • Both the Simpsons and Futurama are created by Matt Groening.

  • embiggen, cromulent, and intragnisent are all neologisms and loosely related to Matt Groening. (neologisms apparently are words "that may be in the process of entering common use")

  • loquacity and sesquipedalian are both "official" words, do not follow the pattern of the previous comments, and really do not make sense in the context they are used.

 

 

 

Basically, these comments had a cool pattern going; and then Wheat_Grinder tried to jump in on the comment chain ignorant to the abrupt "combo breaker" delivered. Emotions were rattled and words were said:

 

  Fuck ya dude

 

Dubsland12's comment is much more than a confirmation but rather an ironic musing, a sad reflection on the fate of this thread.

 

Perhaps the terse reply may be best after all...

[–]neeghairs 36 points37 points ago

Embiggens? I never heard that word before moving to Springfield.

[–]gdotes 47 points48 points ago

[–]ariiiiigold 559 points560 points ago

He's of such class that even his sperm wear tiny little exquisitely crafted three-piece suits and top hats. And rather than millions of them racing to the egg, they instead have a civilised debate on the merits of Keynesian economics - the winner of which is escorted to the egg on horseback.

[–]Stingray88 240 points241 points ago

[–]WasntMeISwear 34 points35 points ago

Horse size duck.

[–]Phallic 205 points206 points ago

He actually only has one sperm. There's no competition there.

That sperm, Slim Jim, kicks the labia aside like the doors to a Wild West Saloon.

The vaginal piani abruptly stops playing, Jim marches up to the egg, who is behind the bar polishing a dusty glass, and shoots it a stern look.

In a blinding flash, suddenly everyone on the planet is pregnant.

Everyone.

This person isn't joking. The 73-year old man literally thought shoving his fist down the leopards throat would be more effective than using his machete. WHICH HE DROPPED IN FAVOR OF TEARING THE LEOPARDS GOD DAMNED TONGUE OUT WITH HIS FUCKING BARE HANDS.

[–]123draw 42 points43 points ago

yeah but 73 in Kenyan years is only like a 30 year old in America.

[–]variousfruits 28 points29 points ago

You've got it backwards. A 30 year old Kenyan is like a 70 year old American.

|A voice, which must have been from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand into its wide open mouth, I obeyed,"

im not religious by any means whatsoever. but if theres a god out there that can give you the power to rip out fucking leopard tounges i would be the first in line.

if someone fucked with me while driving while coming home from church, i would say a quick prayer then redefine the meaning of road rage

[–]unusedalias 113 points114 points ago

That's seriously impressive to me. Given the man's age, it makes this truly astounding.

I've actually viewed a leopard close up in a private, behind-the-scenes tour at my local zoo. The leopard was literally inches from me and I could have reached through the iron fence to touch it, if I honestly wanted to. My point is that people don't understand how powerful these wild cats are. This cat was larger and more muscular than your average large dog and when it flashed it's teeth at me I knew this thing could destroy me in seconds. The part that amazed me most was that the leopard moved so incredibly fast, yet made no noise. It was so very silent. It gave me the chills how quiet this big animal was.

[–]AsperaAstra 66 points67 points ago

There was an article I read the other day about a siberian tiger that was who was shot by a hunter who then stole part of the tigers kill, it followed him home and systematically destroyed everything with his scent on it, then killed his hunting dogs one by one without making noise, then when the man left the tiger got him. A wild cat had one thing on its mind for several days, revenge, which apparently is a weird thing for animals to want.

[–]irosered 12 points13 points ago

They often say that if you can see a tiger then you're in no danger, 'cos if a tiger wanted you, you wouldn't even see/hear it coming.

[–]Tetha 41 points42 points ago

Note the pattern. Lock down that jaw and go for the eyes, the juglar or snap the neck. My grandfather, lumberjack, killed a trained assault dog like this after he was in russia and came back by horse.

Some people thought it would be funny to assault him for whatever reason. After all, my grandpa from thüringen wasn't a nice fellow, he was to honest and too straightforward. So they send their dog on him. He grabbed his tongue with his left hand (always important to use the left hand for such shit), twisted it, wrapped his other arm around the dogs neck and just snapped it in cold efficiency. The attackers just walked away after that and didn't mess with him anymore.

[–]usedemageht 2 points3 points ago

How would one go about tearing out the tongue of a large cat? I understand how effective such a move is, but I presume a lot of force and grip strength is required to tear a chunk of muscle lubricated in saliva

Also, how would one snap a neck of a dog if the wrist is inside its mouth? It's not a rotation movement then, but a bending the head to one side?

[–]ogami1972 34 points35 points ago

"A voice, which must have been from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand into its wide open mouth, I obeyed," he said, explaining that the leopard sank its teeth into his wrist, but would not let go."

amazing place. being a man of the ocean, this was the first landlocked place that had ever fully taken my breathe away, in the manner the pacific ocean does. ill never forget waking up in the back of my pickup at first light in late november. crawling out to brush my teeth, and seeing the tetons highlighted pink. the range comes out of the plains like a row of teeth. ill never unsee that moment.

[–]mattsqb 9 points10 points ago

For sure. I've been wanting to go back there since the second i left.

[–]Oliver_Cat 11 points12 points ago

After my wife and I visited there a couple years ago (after getting married in Yellowstone), we decided that if we ever have a son, his middle name will be Jackson. That's how fucking amazing that place is! And it has some of the coolest art galleries I've ever been to!

[–]Fraymond 61 points62 points ago

Yes, but somewhere out there is the other man. The other man who achieved the impossible. Maybe his placard is golder, his chest hair chestier. But Dale will never know. Dale must live his life knowing that somewhere out there is his rival, in the greatest rivalry of all time. Until one day they meet on The Mountain, where all fate will be decided. There can be only one.

[–]Scriboergosum 59 points60 points ago

The part about pinching the jugular seems a bit fishy. If bear anatomy is anything like human anatomy (most mammals share much in terms of anatomy), pinching of one of the external jugular veins won't make you pass out. It has very little to do with the blood flow to and from the brain (it drains mainly the face) and there's always the possibility for the blood to use the contralateral veins.

I think the arm down its throat had a lot more to do with it passing out.

[–]Testiclesius 64 points65 points ago

How about the part where the bear doesn't maul and eat him? That part seems fishy to me.

[–]unusedalias 28 points29 points ago

They also don't say the size or age of the bear. Could have been a baby bear...

[–]Arquis001 7 points8 points ago

Suddenly this guy's an asshole!

[–]inanecathode 23 points24 points ago

It's way less manly to say you choked a bear to death with your arm.

[–]NeverPostsJustLurks 13 points14 points ago

I'm no doctor, but wouldn't being deep throated by a man of man's arm often be enough to cut off airflow to your lungs (and therefore) your brain etc. causing you to pass out?

The jugular biting was just for show, he was making the bear his bitch..

Edit: Also, he probably didn't beat him with a stick if all these comments are indicative of his manliness...

[–]TwirlyGuacamole 21 points22 points ago

agree. medical professional here. Veins take blood back to the heart from the various parts of the body. occluding any major vein would not deprive an external body part of blood, merely inhibit its return to the core. misinformed sign maker.

owever, the carotid arteries are quite close the the jugulars, running laterally up the neck on either side but slightly deeper (think about where you feel a pulse on your neck - pulse points are arterial not veinous). So the report of his actions could have been accurate, just mis-labeled what his bite was actually affecting.

I'd imagine that with the amount of adrenaline activated by the sympathetic nervous system [fight or flight reflex] and the size of a bear, combined with collateral vasculature... he probably would have had to hold pressure for more than 30 seconds on both carotids. just speculation on that though, as i'm not veterinary trained.

[–]GreatBigPig 7 points8 points ago

Likely the carotid combined with a restricted air flow.

[–]pween 5 points6 points ago

so the vessel that we used to pinch when we were younger to pass out is something other than the jugular?

[–]BlootyBlootBLoot 22 points23 points ago

Carotid aterties.

[–]pween 5 points6 points ago

oooh duh i definitely knew that. perhaps the sign maker here was just misinformed.

[–]Scriboergosum 2 points3 points ago

Never did that personally, so I wouldn't know. How did you pinch it? How long did it take to pass out and did people actually pass out or just get dizzy?

[–]Ithinkineedtodrink 3 points4 points ago

man, I thought my friends and I were the only ones to do this.

[–]youwillnevergetme 59 points60 points ago

Not WTF, it's awesome! I have considered that myself if I ever had to fight a large animal but to put this to practice is amazing and inspiring.

[–]IsThisMyAlias 36 points37 points ago

Step 1: Shove your arm past the teeth trying to bite your hand off and down the bear's throat.

[–]youwillnevergetme 144 points145 points ago

then quickly slip your shoulder in the bears mouth, then head, then the other hand. After that, carefully make more room in the bear so you could bring your entire body inside. Now that you have a (hopefully) fully functioning bear suit, use it to surprise your friends or scare your enemies!

[–]GuessWho_O 37 points38 points ago

Agree in a sense, but mans weapon is his mind. Men don't have or need claws, fangs, brute strength, agility, speed, or cardio. We have our mind. We started with a spear, then bows, then guns, and now skinny jean and depression.

[–]electriophile 14 points15 points ago

Humans actually do have cardio. We have the highest endurance of virtually any land mammal.

[–]sammyp99 10 points11 points ago

Sounds unusually cruel to put an animal through such a painful and stressful death. Guns are still the most humane way to hunt.

[–]BurntTheToast 20 points21 points ago

How the hell would we kill animals that just run. I mean predators would be easy but normal hunting would be hard because I'm not as agile as a deer.

Persistence Hunting

It's how we evolved, we can run almost any animal on the planet to death. Pretty awesome.

I don't think so. I think we can run almost any animal on the planet to death in hot conditions, where our sweat and naked skin heat dissipation is a tremendous advantage. But I don't see that endurance hunting stuff working in cold weather.

[–]Science_the_mouse 9 points10 points ago

here's a BBC video of persistence hunting. so so cool. we are incredible animals.

[–]potatomasher12 5 points6 points ago

1 of 2 ? Now the question remains. How was the first one killed?

[–]olhonestjim 2 points3 points ago

I read in, I think it was Outdoor World Magazine, about a bear attack survivor who killed a bear with just his skinning knife. He was dressing a deer he'd just shot, when a grizzly attacked him to steal the kill. However, instead of tackling him to the ground and mauling his head, it bit into his thigh while he was still standing. The hunter began stabbing it in the neck, and to his surprise, the bear cowered submissively and slacked its grip on his leg. He continued stabbing it until he hit spine and the bear collapsed. Experts theorized that by causing it pain in the neck, that he forced the bear to remember the submission of its mother carrying it by the scruff of the neck, and thereby briefly relenting its attack.

Can anyone else confirm this?

[–]Stratocaster89 6 points7 points ago

Was this some sort of disabled bear or something?

I fail to believe human teeth could bite through the thick fur on a bear, let alone find the jugular. This needs the myth buster works on it

[–]Kirmz 6 points7 points ago

Canadian Version:

Ben Cochrum 1922 Manitoba. North of Fisher river on Lake Winnipeg. The victim's bones were found among the remains of 11 wolves. Seven had been shot and four had been clubbed to death. Only after his rifle stock was smashed did the trapper apparently cease to fight and succumb to the wolf pack.[52]

I feel that this would be better defined as the power of adrenaline. To me, the meaning of manliness has little to do with killing bears with your teeth.

What an amazing last stand which thankfully didn't turn out to be one!

He could have killed it just as easily by hitting it it the head with gigantic balls

Did all his life lead up to this point, or was he consistently displaying feats of great manliness his whole life? Incredible.

Holy piss... my home town made it to the front page! Well... better something I am attached to make it... I never will.

But how does he walk? Wouldn't the size of his balls impede his own movement?

More like beastliness.

Where is this sign exactly? I used to be able to go to Jackson in the summer when I was a kid and I know I've seen this.

"...actually used his own teeth and jaws" I'd like to have seen him use someone else's.
