... in my day we used a milk bottle

"Rocket from the Bottoms" the early Pere ubu band?

It was on the "douchebags" thread, but, really, it deserves a much wider audience. According to the Metro it was something he'd seen someone do on Jackass.

Really, anyone who thinks "sticking a firework up my jacksie is a good idea" deserves to get hurt.

... in my day we used a milk bottle

Which could cause equal unpleasantness if it exploded in your rectum

I suppose milk bottles aren't as common as they used to be but the old saw about any port in a storm seems to have been stretched to breaking point here

Heh heh, there's comic timing for ya (xpost)

... said a hospital spokesman (xpost)

this might be a good Rolling thread for other quirkies/whatever people didn't/couldn't find already

― 2 american 4 u (blueski), Friday, 10 November 2006 10:56 (nineteen years ago)

You know, it's not entirely clear from that story which way round the firework was pointing.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 10 November 2006 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

That's what's so brilliant about it. He could be EVEN MORE STUPID than already suggested by his actions.

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 10 November 2006 10:58 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe he was trying to launch himself into space you mean?

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 10:59 (nineteen years ago)

He was lauching it (pointing away from his ass), Jackass style.

Any good tabloid titles? (e.g. "Backside cracker prank backfires")

Metro has a picture of the "bumfire" incident:

Blur had a song about this, didn't they? (Bleedybum)

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:05 (nineteen years ago)

is there an anti-excelsior?

― benrique (Enrique), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:06 (nineteen years ago)

this thread for failed excelsior attempts.

(SORRY STAN)

― benrique (Enrique), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:12 (nineteen years ago)

I have someone here pondering wether this is true!

Mainly because Sunderland F.C. fans are known as the "Black Cats"

― mark grout (mark grout), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:20 (nineteen years ago)

This sets a worrying precedent for Brighton fans to follow I think.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:26 (nineteen years ago)

Enrique: don't worry, I know I can only hope for a *groan* now and then, I don't believe in excelsior attempts. Anti-excelsior away!

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:35 (nineteen years ago)

Some Anti-Excelsiorisms / tabloid headline suggestions:

The Gunpowder Bot
Bottom Rocket / Rocket From a Bottom
Ring of Fire
Asstronut

Shitty Shitty Bang Bang

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:43 (nineteen years ago)

Mark, it does exist (Black Cat Thunderbolt), but it's in the "fountain" category on that site, which probably means it's a model that can't even take off.

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

Damn, why didn't he use this one?

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:50 (nineteen years ago)

Shitty Shitty Bang Bang = WINNER

― teh_kit returns! (g-kit), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:51 (nineteen years ago)

Oh, these are just HALF-ARSED attempts at humour...

*sends self to failed excelsior thread*

Actually, yeah, Shitty Shitty Bang Bang = GENIUS!

― ailsa (ailsa), Friday, 10 November 2006 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

I like the bit about the Ambulance man saying that the body produces methane gas in that area so it could have been even worse!

― andyjack (andyjack), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:06 (nineteen years ago)

Did one of them shepherd away a crow of onlookers by saying, "OK, stand back people, there's nothing to see here..."?

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

"Form an orderly queue" more like.

― NickB (NickB), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:13 (nineteen years ago)

Video clips of similar Scorched Colon (band name alert) incidents here

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:15 (nineteen years ago)

Typical: "from his backside" or "between his buttocks" (used in all British papers and articles about this incident) isn't funny enough for this German headline gathering site, they've had to change it to "from his rectum"

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:23 (nineteen years ago)

"Rocket wrecked rectum"

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 12:24 (nineteen years ago)

In Canada, they have MILK BAGS.

Udders? Up the bum?

― StanM (StanM), Friday, 10 November 2006 14:03 (nineteen years ago)

Turbonegro used to do this all the time, what is the big deal.

― Allyzay Eisenschefter (allyzay), Friday, 10 November 2006 16:07 (nineteen years ago)

They were Scandinavians who followed proper safety procedures.

Fair enough, not just anyone can have an ass rocket.

VIKINGS?

Their anuses (anii?) are made of leather

― Dadaismus (Takin' Funk to Heaven in '77) (Dada), Friday, 10 November 2006 16:10 (nineteen years ago)

Yes, plz let it be "anii".
