Update: No, I do not have a black heart. Yes, I do care about starving people and have donated time at soup kitchens and money to charities that feed the hungry. I live in a society and culture of excess. Food is cheap and abundant. Yet people are still starving in the city I live in. I do think we all should do more to help feed the hungry. I also do not believe that blowing up a few items of food that I had purchased contributed to the problem of hunger in the world. If images and video of a few pieces of food being destroyed offends you, please don’t read the rest of this entry. As a gesture of good-will, I have donated US $25 to The United Nations World Food Programme.
What do you do with leftover fireworks, a dead chicken, a couple melons, and duct tape? Why, blow them up, of course.
First thoroughly tape over the shells and fuses to insure the chicken and melon juices do not spoil them. Then carefully stuff the chicken and melons:
Now you are ready to light the fuse:
The after-effects can be devastating:

Great way to get rid of leftovers! Didn’t know gnome hackers were so versitile

Plase, there are to much people hungry in the world!

Hummm… Yummy! Jamin, it looks really delicious, especially the chicken. Oh how appetizing.

While it might be fun for you it’s probably not easy to understand for people who don’t have enough to eat why one would nuke foods.
Be aware that by being on planet GNOME means that your entries will be read by people from all over the world.

I agree, a waste of food when there’s world hunger to consider.
July 6th, 2004 at 1:48 pm
Folks, I posted an update on the issue of wasting food and the problem of world hunger.
July 6th, 2004 at 2:46 pm
yes, there are many who hunger for cock and melons, and here you destroy them with your blowing-up sticks. your donation to the UN cannot possibly make up for the images of charred cockmeat and juicey melons that are burned into my retinas.

you stupid little monkey.
what a shame.. i’ll always remember you as the idiot who detroyed food just because he wanted to be entertained.
wow, amazing that there are stupid people like you that would do something like this, and to top it off, broadcast it into their own weblog…

Nice gesture on the donation.
However, some people. I was always told to finish my plate of food; b/c starving children could be eating the food instead. Our government and charities help the starving children/people, not the food you or I waste.
Grocers stock on demand for the people of the town or city, not based off the starving homeless. Yes, it is unfortunate that we live in a capitalistic society. You bought the food, with your own money, so who cares what you do with it. Donation is a kind gesture.
I hope all these people recycle also. If not they are hypocrites for destroying the earth… Oh, and the other gallzion things that we could be doing to save one thing or another. You should chastise people for driving b/c they are destroying the ozone… Geez, some people have no life.
I have seen worse.

Just thought I should point out that: A) whether he blew up that chicken or threw it in the trash, some hungry kid in a 3rd world country wasn’t going to be getting it; B) It’s kind of silly to chastise someone for blowing up a chicken when there’s larger wastes that abound (who’s complaining about the multple millions of dollars spent to throw up some fireworks in Boston? that’ll buy a lot of chickens); C) It’s funny

wtf is wrong with you?
July 7th, 2004 at 4:35 am
You aint a monkey, you are a degenerated human being who forfeited the right to live! go hang yourself next time and I will donate 25 dollars to http://www.tomregan-animalrights.com/!

Wow, I’ve evolved from a monkey to a degenerate human being. I think you liberals need to find a better use of your time than calling people monkeys or encouraging them to hang themselves. Might I suggest some fireworks? It’s quite therapeutic.

just wanted to come back after a few days and remind you how stupid you are.
July 7th, 2004 at 2:35 pm
I’m sure he appreciates that Anon — f&#@in’ prick.
July 7th, 2004 at 5:45 pm
Well said Ryan.
July 7th, 2004 at 6:44 pm
Ditto!

Thanks to all the “morally concerned” here who have reminded me once again that while food is not equally distributed across the planet, there’s still plenty of bullshit to go around.
Personally, I think the bigger story here is that raw food safety tips were not being followed. Troy could be facing the spectre of foodborne illness - something the hungry have the luxury to ignore. There’s something to be said for famine. You heartless bastards…
July 11th, 2004 at 2:49 pm
I’m going to agree with Ryan. And yes, Jamin did donate to a children’s fund. Steve, funny as always.

You all need to grow some balls. Why didn’t you use dynamite instead? Those little pop-crackers you used can’t hurt a fly. LOL!!
Ok - we bought the chicken which contributes to the economy of the USA … we bought the fireworks which contribute the the economy of China (grin) … I figure what we do with them after we leagally own them is our fucking business. That’s the problem with this country … everyone is too fucking concerned with what everyone else is doing when its none of their fucking business.
Okay, you cold argue that it makes it your business since we are posting it on the web and laughing about it .. HA HA HA HA .. but we merely meant to entertain those people who actually have testicles and a sense of humor. All you dolphin-loving tree huggers don’t have to look if you don’t want to … if you want to save the world, go for it … it takes a pompass ass to sit there and critize the actions of others while doing nothing to help the cause you are arguing for.
At the current rate of pussification of America .. I figure by the year 2100 it will be manditory for every male to have their fucking balls cut off at birth and made into whining pussies.
Get off your ass and get a hobby!

While I don’t have testicles, I do have a sense of humor and that was freaking funny! (BTW, I love dolphins Troy) Not having known you that long, I’m having a lot of fun backtracking through your blog… I can’t believe what kind of rise this one got out of people!!! someone said something about donating $25 to animal rights if you hung yourself… does he not realize the horrible life the poor chicken lived before it was blessed with death?? The thing was already dead… who cares… people need to get lives!
