†"Death by misadventure" is the verdict delivered at a hearing into the death of Gareth Mason of England. While attempting to moon some imaginary passers-by he ended up doing the "drunk d00d wobble dance" through a plate glass window, skewering himself on a spiked fence. The coroner's report indicates that he was fairly well marinated at 292 milligrams of alcohol in 100 millilitres of blood - quadruple the limit for passable steering privileges. Strangely enough, he was eating kebab at the time. It's bad enough getting liquored-up and killing yourself but it's got to be hugely embarrassing finding yourself pinned to a spiked, wrought iron fence with your pants around your ankles.

I'm sure he'll be nominated for a Darwin Award by graciously removing himself from the gene pool in such spectacular fashion. There's a lesson here boys and girls and I don't think it requires much in the way of explanation. Remember - common sense will likely get you further down the twisty, rutted road of life than dollars and cents ever will.

Anyhow..., "Death by Misadventure" - I've dodged that puppy on more than a few occasions.

Hasta La L8r Señor Drunken d00d
