Jun.12.2008 Boy Scouts get smited…smote? Is it smote?
Whatever the past participle may be of “smite” may be, some Boy Scouts in Iowa got fucked up by a tornado. Tornados: 1, Homoerotic children’s clubs: 0, Ties: 1.
Frightened Boy Scouts huddled in a shelter as a tornado tore through their western Iowa campground, killing four people and injuring 48 others who had little to no warning of the approaching twister.
Tornadoes also touched down in Kansas, Minnesota and Nebraska on Wednesday. They killed at least two people in northern Kansas, destroyed much of the small town of Chapman and caused extensive damage on the Kansas State University campus.
In Iowa, rescue workers cut their way through downed branches and dug through debris amid rain and lightning Wednesday night to reach the camp where the 93 boys, ages 13 to 18, and 25 staff members were attending a weeklong leadership training camp.
The boys were split into two groups when the storm hit the Little Sioux Scout Ranch in the remote Loess Hills. One group managed to take shelter, while the other was out hiking.
Hmm, it would appear as though they misspelled “fucking” in that last paragraph. Can’t FOX afford a good copy editor? Jeez.
The death/injury toll seems to be a little too even though for my tastes. Almost like they were paired off. And stuck together. As if each Boy Scout had a partner, sometimes another Boy Scout, sometimes a Troop Leader. Perhaps they were entangled in some way, one caught inside the other like a hairless Chinese finger trap.
I remember when my dad took me to an introductory Boy Scout meeting when I was little. I was like, seven years old maybe, and I just remember thinking “Holy shit this is so gay.” And that was before the ceremonial “dry finger in the asshole” introduction. At least if it’s slippery, you can say it slid in (ask my girlfriend). But apparently you don’t understand discretion when you’re one with nature.
If you look at some of my previous comments, you’ll see that I’m a cynical prick, but making light of dead kids may be going a bit far, don’t you think? Three 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old are dead, and you find that to be the most opportune moment for a few gay jokes. Perhaps you should kill yourself, you piece of shit. Try not to suck any cock on your way to hell.
You don’t think making light of the deaths of three 13-year-olds and a 14-year-old might be a bit out of line? I’m a cynical prick, as my previous comments show, but this is too much. Perhaps you should kill yourself, you piece of shit. Try not to suck any cock on your way to hell.
What can I say, I’m not a fan of the Boy Scouts. They’re a religion-imposing, homophobic yet homoerotic group that is relatively sanctimonious and unlikable in various ways.
Plus, I’m a big fan of tornadoes. They get a bad rap.
Sorry about the double post; I got an error the first time, and thought it didn’t go through. You make a good point about the Boy Scouts being a shit organization, but it’s mainly the adults who are…
Fuck it; never mind. There’s probably a decent chance the next Hitler was just eaten by a tornado. The last time I was confronted by a group of boyscouts (out on some field trip to an exhibit I was at with my son), they were all little assholes, reeking of a sense of entitlement, with jumbo sides of homophobia, racism, and classism. I deliberately made two of them cry, and then I bitch you out for making light of their conjoined deaths? I’m a hypocrite, and I apologize. Plus, who are these scouts to judge me? Have you seen the movie Troy? I don’t think a willingness to suck Brad Pitt’s dick out of his ass-hole makes me gay; it just makes me human.
Oh jeez… but I laffed! hiking=fucking! Oh jeez…
