MAY 9, 2008 NEW CANDIDATE FOR THE
LOCKERRIDGE HALL OF FOOLISH FAME
My friend Jae Elle sent these photographs to me in an email and I just had to share this guy, and his lack of intelligence with those who read my stuff...
If you have been with me for a while you know I collect these kinds of pictures, and then I make a slide show of the latest and greatest candidate for the Lockerridge Hall Of Foolish Fame. Then we all pick the winner. I would have waited to put this guy in there, but this is just too stinking dumb for words.. had to share it today!
Thankyou very much Jae Elle.. your one of my oldest and dearest, and you always think of me don't you? I sure will be glad when I can leave a comment on your blogs again!
The following pictures and text were taken directly from the email.
I have put the holder of the copyright to the pictures name on them, so if you want to use them please don't forget to give him the credit for them. Although he put them into an email and sent them out so.. he probably knows we will spread them all around the globe within an hour of his posting them huh? lol..
Now cut that out.. I am not evil.. I just sound that way.. a lot!
Grand Canyon Photographer....
He took his full dose of stupid pills that day!
This is a case of a photographer photographing another photographer. The following pictures were taken by Hans van de Vorst from the Netherlands, at the Grand Canyon, Arizona. The descriptions are his. The identity of the photographer in the photos is unknown.
I was simply stunned seeing this guy standing on this solitary rock in the Grand Canyon.
The canyon's depth is 900 meters here. The rock on the right is next to the canyon and safe.
Watching this guy on his thong sandals, with a camera and a tripod I asked myself 3 questions:
1. How did he climb that rock?
2. Why not take that sunset picture from that rock to the right, which is perfectly safe?
3. How will he get back?
After the sun set behind the canyon's horizon he packed his things (having only one hand available) and prepared himself for the jump. This took about 2 minutes. At that point he had the full attention of the crowd.
This is the point of no return.
After that, he jumped on his thong sandals...
The canyon's depth is 900 meters (3,000 feet) here.
Now you can see that the adjacent rock is higher so he tried to land lower, which is quite steep and tried to use his one hand to grab the rock.
Look carefully at the photographer. He has a camera, a tripod and also a plastic bag, all on his shoulder or in his left hand. Only his right hand is available to grab the rock and the weight of his stuff is a problem. He lands low on his flip flops, both his right hand and right foot slip away... At that moment I take this shot. He pushes his body against the rock. He waits for a few seconds, throws his stuff on the rock, climbs and walks away, presumably to a bathroom to change his shorts. I know I had to change mine and I was just watching!! lockerridge
BIG LOCKERRIDGE AMEN!!!! TO THE SHORTS CHANGING!
