Toasted nuts...

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

March 4, 2007 - Eua Claire, WI - Two buddies got drunk and watched a movie. This, in normal situations, is not worthy of Darwinism. But in this case, the movie being watched was "Jackass - the Movie" and being drunk disengaged what little brain cells these two gentleman had. This made this situation dangerous. Upon watching the movie, one of the burning bulbs decided to recreate one of the stunts from the movie. Which stunt? Well, lets just say it involves nuts, lighter fluid, and a match. Not enough? Take said lighter fluid and pour it on the nuts, then light the match and toast the nuts. No problem right? Well, the nuts weren't Macadamia nuts, peanuts, or even walnuts. They were Jared W. Anderson's nuts... His personal nuts. Now lack of experience might be plausable here. After all, Jared was only 20 years old. But Randell D. Peterson was the buddy of his that doused Jared's nuts with lighter fluid and struck the match. He was 40 years old and should have known better. End result as of this article... Randell is facing charges of felony battery and first-degree reckless endangerment. Jared, after jumping the bathtub to put out the flames, is living with second degree burns to his hands and nether region. Guess it did the trick, his nuts were toasted. While he may or may not be permanently out of the gene pool lottery, at the very minimum, he won't be making offspring for a long time. This makes this worthy of at least an honorable mention.
