Man Kills Leopard By Thrusting Hand Into Its Gaping Maw of Death And Ripping Out Its Tongue

Several days old, never got around to posting it. But cool:

A 73-year-old Kenyan grandfather reached into the mouth of an attacking leopard and tore out its tongue to kill it, authorities said Wednesday.

Peasant farmer Daniel M'Mburugu was tending to his potato and bean crops in a rural area near Mount Kenya when the leopard charged out of the long grass and leapt on him.

M'Mburugu had a machete in one hand but dropped that to thrust his fist down the leopard's mouth. He gradually managed to pull out the animal's tongue, leaving it in its death-throes.

...

The leopard sank its teeth into the farmer's wrist and mauled him with its claws. "A voice, which must have come from God, whispered to me to drop the panga (machete) and thrust my hand in its wide open mouth. I obeyed," M'Mburugu said.

Ummmm... well, I guess it worked, but why didn't the "Voice from God" tell him to try whacking it on the head with the machette first to stun it or something?

Thank Goodness the Voice didn't say "reach up its ass and try tearing out its duodenem." I've tried that with gators, and trust me, if it doesn't work, you've got one pissed off gator.

Although about one in ten don't seem to mind so much.

But Reuters won't rest on its laurels reporting just that. It's ace reporter nails the story, buttoning it up with elan and punch, with this terrific quote:

"This guy is very lucky to be alive," Kenya Wildlife Service official Connie Maina told Reuters, confirming details of the incident.

In related news, Reuters can now confirm that Michael Jackson is "very lucky to be a free man."

Thanks to JH.

A few years ago, my brother in Alaska told me a story about an old guy who killed a Kodiak bear (you know, the ones that make Grizzley's look like a large dog?) with his hunting knife. Now Kodiak's are really smart, and it turns out that the ones on Kodiak Island have figured out that once a deer hunter kills one of those little puny Sitka Deer they have up there, they get pretty preoccupied with cleaning it and it's aparently pretty easy to sneak up behind them and swat them in the head, which is usually instantly fatal.

Well, this one guy caught a whiff of the bear or something and ducked at the last second, so the bear only scalped him with it's pinky claw. Instead of cowering in fear and shittin his pants like most people would, this guy spun into the bear and got inside it's reach and went to town with a 6" hunting knife, eventually killing the bear.

Now Kodiak bears aren't easy to kill with the most powerfull rifles in the world, and you usually have someone backing you up in case it charges. But killing it wiht a knife? That is one bad dude.

Eh. The bear probably had Beartrophy.

Some guys just have balls of steel. My dad was one of those guys; I once watched him back down a couple of huge rednecks who were making lewd comments about my sister. These guys probably weighed about 250 each, and my dad was about 140. He was armed with nothing more than a Waffle House coffee cup.

It's like when my beagle mutt had pups. She would attack any dog who came within a block and a half of our house. No matter the size of the other dog, they backed down. I think the advantage is that they knew your dad, and my dog, were willing to die for their pups. It does give them the edge.

Ace, please, a little notice before you trot out pearlers like this. I'm not s'posed to be reading this at work and I'm having trouble explaining why I'm paralysed with laughter.

Sublime.

"Although about one in ten don't seem to mind so much."

That's a myth. It's really about 2%-3% who wouldn't 'seem to mind so much'. Of the other 7.5% of the gators in your, uh, exercise, a couple may be "questioning" but the rest probably just had too much beer...

I have an idea... What would it take to get this Kenyan grandfather in the same room as Hillary?

Kingslasher, PLEASE!! The visuals are just too... You owe me a new keyboard btw.

Awesome

I heard a story once that an old hunter was attacked by wolves and didn't have time to pull his pistol, so he shoved his left arm into the mouth of the wolf while he brought up his pistol and capped the wolf through the head and then turned on the rest who scattered.

Perhaps a Leopards tongue is different, but I can't grip my own tongue let alone tear it out. How is it possible?

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.
