There's going to be a broken rib or two in there somewhere....

Basically he got tore up by a grizzly, managed to climb on it's back and start knifing it to death, and then fell to the ground when his companions finished it with rifles. The leader figured he was dead soon, so he told the other two guys to bury him when he died and catch up after.

The history is a bit muddled on whether they got scared by Indians or just stole his stuff and left, but either way they took all of his gear and hoofed it. When they caught up, they told the leader that he had died.

So Hugh came to, with no gear, covered in a fresh bear skin they had taken off the bear. He was suffering from a broken leg, the cuts on his back exposing bare ribs, and all his wounds festering. He was 200 miles from the nearest fort, with nothing to help him and surrounded by hostile Indians.

He crawled, surviving on roots, berries, and remains of animal kills. His back became gangrenous, so he lay on a rotten log and let maggots eat the dead and rotten tissue away. Later he was found by a friendly tribe that sewed the bear skin to his back to cover his exposed ribs and gave him some supplies. When he finally reached the Cheyenne river, he fashioned a crude raft and floated down the river to the fort.

Everyone thought he had died, but he recovered fully. Later he decided he would avenge himself on the two that left him behind, but he spared one because he was too young and one because he had joined the army and was kind of untouchable. The young guy was Jim Bridger, who became a famous mountain man himself as he got older.

Just to preface this, i got this info from a number of Beijing university physics students, in Beijing.

Many things, in Chinese, are a bunch of descriptions. For example i wanted to find a little statue of a rhino, and my chinese friend taught me to ask shopkeepers for a "xi niu", with a certain inflection. This is when he told me that your inflection can change the meaning of a Chinese word as can the words that follow and precede it. Whenever he asked shopkeepers - and subsequently whenever i asked them - for a xi niu, they always thought i wanted a bull, because i was asking for, literally translated, a "horny cow" as Gary put it. We had to make a mime of a central horn before they understood.... and told me no (different story, hunting a rhino statue across china and finding nothing).

When they gave me a Chinese name, it was some words from a well known and overly flattering Chinese proverb. This makes me think that the same could be true of "coffin man" which could easily come from a provincial saying, or a description the meaning of which escapes these two. I know that my friend from Xi'an struggled to understand phrases and words when he went to uni in Beijing, and his friends used to rib him about being so different. Massive country, the people are diverse. I don't think these guys are expert linguists, and it could just be regional differences.

It was definitely a punch and kick to the ribs of an inebriated woman who was restrained in handcuffs. She did attempt to kick him, but the return force used was wildly inappropriate. This officer also beat up an older man half his size on a traffic stop, causing multiple lacerations to his scalp. If you watch the related cnn video, you can see he is basically a juiced up thug who gets his jollies on beating people and taking buddy photos with them.

It's just becoming apparent, to me at least, that for every good officer we have it seems like we have 9 bad ones. A horrible ratio, to be sure.

I don't see what you see, but the video is terrible. I see what looks to me like a balled fist right before, and right after contact. I guess we should agree to disagree about that.
Either way, he definitely put his full power into the face hit, stepping back and winding up, and putting his body weight behind it. I think she would likely have gone down had the other officer not held her up and pulled her away. The same goes for his kick, there was certainly power behind it, unlike hers.
I do agree, this was not a brutal beating, fist or slap, but it was completely inappropriate.
I still say it looks like she missed with her kick, but it's not important, her kick had no power behind it. His punch/slap had plenty of power, as did his kick to her ribs (which looking again did seem to connect).
She is a 'helpless' woman who stupidly attacked the cop while she was 'controlled', and she got hit and kicked hard. I'm not sure why you think it's marketed as her being 'savagely assaulted' (although to some people this could fit that description), maybe it's just because that's becoming the norm and is what we expect when an officer loses his cool and hits and kicks someone in handcuffs.

As far as I'm concerned, it's the falsifying a police report by not mentioning this that's the big issue. The inappropriate contact is probably a misdemeanor, but not reporting it should be a felony. Also, getting a months paid vacation for doing things inappropriately seems terrible.

This was classic! Hilarious that the creators have never been to Australia! That's just too good.
I've never found anything Australian about it, beyond the kitsch on the walls and the silly commercials.
I actually liked the bloomin' onion the first time I had it. These days I make it myself, and I think it's way better than going to outback. Beyond that one item, I've never thought anything I've eaten there was better than average, and often much worse....ribs included.

The only things i've ever enjoyed is the bread and the ribs. Going here for steak is like going to Red Lobster for seafood or Olive Garden for Italian.

I've never understood the connection they try to make between steak and Australia. Do Australians do it somehow different or are they famous for it in some way?

Your video, Ronda Rousey breaks Web Host's Ribs, has made it into the Top 15 New Videos listing. Congratulations on your achievement. For your contribution you have been awarded 1 Power Point.

True, but in this case she actually cracked 4 of his ribs.

It's very hard to differentiate ribs breaking and massive blunt trauma on that area. Something i found out after a wrestling match with one feisty woman where she landed on my ribs flying knees first taking me down... She was a stripper at a time and athletics to match. The doctor said that the pain is the same and only x-rays solved that nothing broke but i had a massive bruising under the ribs. Takes about same time to heal as bone injury too.

I want her to break my ribs so fucking hard.

If we came from dirt, why is there still dirt. If women came from a rib, why do we still have ribs?
Steve HArvy is an ignorant asshole douche monkey

Mountain Dew with your rib eye?

Seriously?

Nonetheless, the actual concept seems pretty fun.

I thought I already knew of all the fucked up ways society told women to look, but, ... do they really have their floating ribs removed surgically? Or is that parody like the brain segment (which, really, I was surprised they put back in at all).
