One of the lines reminds me of Flagpole Sitta by Harvey Danger:
"Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding"

I think it's safe to say that in 2020 the Democratic party will not be running her up the flagpole again. The last time they did that half the party saluted and the other half, kinda saluted, but it's not kind of salute one would find encouraging.

I think every kid needs to go through something like that.

I used to shoot pest rabbits around our house (in the country, far from any neighbors) with a BB rifle. Went through safety training, was always very careful, etc. etc.

One day I saw a rabbit hiding under a row of trees between myself and the back side of my house. I never shot towards the house / people / whatever, always away from. But, the rabbit was there. I could have walked around the trees, but the rabbit probably wouldn't have been visible from the other side. Plus, the land sloped up so there was a bit of a hill/grade between me and the house, not to mention the thick tree branches and underbrush. BBs almost never went clean through a rabbit, they'd get lodged in the body.

So, I rationalized all that. Five pumps instead of ten, make sure I hit the rabbit so the BB doesn't go through, plus I'm aiming down into the ground so even if I miss the BB will probably lodge in the ground or hit a tree or brush. Should be fine. Do it.

I pull the trigger, rabbit runs away, and I hear a really loud "thump". The BB had ricocheted off the ground and hit right in the dead center of a huge sliding glass door on the back of the house. Safety glass, so I saw it spread out in little spiderweb patterns from the impact point in the center over the course of about 30 seconds or so, and then all fall into a pile of glass bits.


So of course I run to my dad and said "no, I was totally aiming *away* from the house -- must have had a really unlucky ricochet off of the flagpole or something!" He just smiled and said "really?" and then explained that I'd be doing chores and mowing the lawn to help pay to replace the glass door -- which ended up being about $800.

But you can bet your ass that I never aimed even remotely in the direction of a house, car, or anything else that I didn't want to shoot after that...

*nature possibly *audio ? Let us run it up the flagpole shall we?

@Porksandwich: Because this video simply depicts an accident in which a person is fatally injured, it is breaking the Sift's snuff guideline and it should be discarded or killed.

Generally speaking, exceptions to the snuff rule are considered on a case-by-case basis and allowed for offering "reasonable" merit. (This is where the vagueness comes in.)

This video is not such an exception and will be removed, but knowing the protestant nature of Sifters, I'll send it up for a bit more *discussion first so everyone who's so inclined can have a chance to hang their knotted panties on a flagpole for all the Sift to see.

Really nice trick at 7:15 to get into the warp pipe without hitting the invisible coin box!

The score could have been lower, though; there is a glitch for grabbing the flagpole and progressing on without actually raising the flag and getting 100 points. Further, though it's *incredibly* hard to do without macros & savestates, he could have jumped the gap at 3:20 without the assistance of the goomba; Mario can clip into the edge of the far wall if you do it right, just like you do if you want to clip through the wall at level 1-2 to go to the glitched out negative worlds. If mario clips into the far side of the pit enough, there are 1 or 2 frames where mario can jump a second time and make it all the way up.

If you combine these two tricks, you could beat the game with 0 points.

cool glitch. I jumped over the 1-1 flagpole once too... but I used the Game Genie!

I am sad that mario never jumped off a building and caught a flagpole to slow his descent.
