Good thing he missed – that kind of a kick to the head can cause major brain damage or death…

Awesome. Just wonderful. Dumb people are funny.

Oh one does like to see the mighty hand of vengeance strike. Like this one where two guys get way more than they bargained for http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tpidQvmiPis

I choose to believe that pee-pants drunk was attempting to scare/strike staggering drunk — and no additional facts will change that belief!

  Obviously you can tell by the pixels and the shoops you have seen in your days.

    Yes the pixels do not lie, also the walker starts walking at the start, with his right foot curled behind his left.

Looks like a nice big bottle on the edge of the path, anyone ID it?

So many API calls on Boing Boing pages that they take over a minute to finish loading. No scrolling yet, peons must wait!

  But without those calls, they wouldn’t be web 2.0. That would be unacceptable.

    I’ve been randomly blocking bits of javascript to see what breaks it, and what doesn’t, and I’ve gotten it down to an almost-not-infuriating page-load delay. The only side-effect is lots of those stupid buttons have disappeared.
    Then again, there’s every chance my attempts have amounted to nothing more than voodoo.
    I might start using lynx.

Jean Claude Van Damme he is not.

Is that a 2-liter or a bottle of Drambuie?!? Kids got good taste if its the latter.

This is a mirror image of what our entire society has become.”Kick em’from behind when their not looking so I can run away and will not have to suffer the consequences of my own war-like behavior”!This is the cowards mantra.GO KARMA!!!Too bad Karma isn’t around more often.

I agree that both are probably drunk … the guy to be kicked does not even turn around when he hears something swishing by his ear … or some bones cracking … and the kicker’s pants look indeed wet

Nice Mawashi Geri Jodan. Good luck that the guy was not on karate class, as this kick can easily knockout or even kill someone. Really, kicks kill.

He’s had at least some practice if he’s kicking with the leg he jumps out with.

It sure looks like the kicker wither peed his shorts or had something poured down them. This may well be the after effects of a gag.

looks like he wet his pants

  I think the wet pants look is a artifact of the gif compression
