• I really do have to ask. WHAT THE FUCK.
• I have a variety of things I'd like to say about this, but I'm so afraid I will offend someone. So, I will just snicker. Oh yeah, and remind myself of the dangers of walking home drunk.
• i hope the dog was rabid.
• I second that sentiment: What the fuck? Also, what t r a c y said.
• When I read fractal_badgers' comment I realized something. "WHAT THE FUCK." and "What the fuck?" are two vastly different phrases. For instance. "YOU FUCKING CHEATED ON ME! WHAT THE FUCK. YOU FUCKING WHORE." as opposed to "What the fuck? Oh my god, is that whole thing going up his nose?" The semantic value of the phrase seems to change totally based upon its intensity (capitalization) and inquisitiveness. I'd also posit that an all caps version with a question mark may sometimes be equivalent to an all caps version w/o a question mark. Brought to you by the department of semantic gerrymandering. but seriously. what the fuck
• More details might be useful on this, but as it stands now in all its blunt starkness, I third tracy's sentiments.
• semantic gerrymandering that is so cool. can i borrow it?
• No, you cannot borrow it, but you can join.
• When taken into custody, man shouted to the dog's remains: "And you're lucky I came from the bar and not the lapdance joint, you %@*&#!!" (>_<)
• All this WTF talk has reminded me of something I saw while watching stuff fly by here. Back on topic, I thought that in that part of the world drunken self defense was a little more along these lines.
• News!
• In this Google news results, why does the 3rd result have that word in brackets?
• It's funny because asians sometimes eat.. *OUCH* *STOP HITTING ME*
• More disturbingly, why is the second result (which has no bracketed word in it) linked to the same URL as the third result? Double post, Mr Smarty-Pants Google!
• I this and that in the milk of The South China Post, wondering what Hemingway would say of this manly deed? Is this a spoof or real?
• One of the news stories referred to the man as an infuriated inebriate. That's a keeper.
• You mean a raging drunk?
• Semantic Gerrymandering is actually a project I plan on starting. I don't know if i'll suceed or not........
• We'd met up at the local bar, the Chin Fooey. It had been quite a night, the beer and gin had flowed like the Yangtze, and Xian and Ning and Hsun and I were rabid, gasping for hot Szechuan curry action. Then there was the dog. A mangy street cur, a bag of fleas, two parts piss to three parts rice vinegar. It sized me up with its yellow eye. And lunged forward. It bit. Teeth sunk into knuckle. Bone struck bone. I put a hole where his head used to be.
• Aside from the humor in this situation, you may be interested to know that this occurrence is not as extraordinary as you might think. I have heard of several, seemingly intelligent adults who bite people in retaliation, from what I have heard, their own children. I am being absolutely serious. I think there is more of an uncontrolled natural reaction here than a state of madness.
• I bit my daddy once. Left two bleeding holes on his forearm. Can't remember why I bit him though. *checks canines for baboon resemblance* Oh yeah. I was four years old.
• In answer to the various WTF queries: Journalism lesson 1: Dog bites man; not a story. Man bites dog; story. Because it doesn't happen very often, or indeed, at all, until now. That's why this is brilliant!
• I actually think the dog deserved it and also deserves a Darwin adward. All smart animals know that its dangerous to attack creatures that double their size ...and are drunk.
• this occurrence is not as extraordinary as you might think Ted Bundy. Mike Tyson. but somehow, all I can think of, is that presumably it was a street dog, likely in need of a bath and full of fleas. ick.
• This thread bites.
• Brings new meaning to the term dog's dinner! cos the dog's the di... got nuffin'
• This makes me very sad. The dog was doing what dogs do and was tortured because of it by a cruel, inebriated asshole. * sniff *
• Bite me, beeyotch!
