firekids

Twistin’ like a flame in a slow dance, baby
You’re driving me crazy
Come on, little honey
Come on now

Oh that’s a flaming galah! Throw your wombats in the air like you just don’t care if you’re ready to see the Findon Skid Kids perform their amazing “jumping through fire” stunt!

Spectators at the Findon Skid Kids on Reserve Parade ended up having to throw blankets over the kids when their lazily named stunt went wrong and sent them to the hospital with burns.

This is how the “stunt” should look when it’s performed properly:

Woo. I fail to see jumping of any kind. Fire is the appropriate penalty handed down from above by the immortal and omnipotent Evel Knievel. Homer Simpson made a better effort on a skateboard. The injuries aren’t life-threatening so it’s fine for us to make fun of these kids who willingly put themselves in harm’s way for our pleasure with the lamest of stunts.

I’m surprised Corey Booker didn’t bust in on the scene, put the fire out then treat the kids himself. First he badmouths Obama on Meet The Press and now this dereliction of duty. Is this the man you want as senator, New Jersey?

Here’s a look at Evel Knievel’s injuries he sustained during his glorious career as the world’s greatest daredevil. Pretty bad huh? For some reason this reminded me of this old Steve McNair injury roundup photo. Look at them compared to Steve McNair’s injuries sustained through 2005, its amazing what people put themselves through. Evel looks to have broken every bone in his body and McNair looks to have bruised and sprained every muscle in his body. McNair is quite the daredevil himself. No wonder he’s done as a QB.

This is pretty old but it’s the first time we’ve seen it.

Kenny’s reaction after the jump must be what Marty Schottenheimer went through during every playoff run. Semi-conscious and asking if he made it and if everybody was pleased.

“No, Ernest fumbled.”
