Naked Man Threatens Neighbors With Sword

[craigdawg]

Not THAT sword. Get your mind outta the gutter. :) Could this be a prelude to yet another genital mutilation story?

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa - A man threatened his neighbors with a sword after they complained about him being naked in his front yard, police said. Curtis D. Rarick, 44, was charged with assault while displaying a dangerous weapon.http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=816&e=3&u=/ap/20050302/ap_on_fe_st/naked_man

[Dont Hurt Me]

Better start outlawing swords and naked men. :eek:

[edesignuk]

charged with assault while displaying a dangerous weapon.That's priceless :D

[dsharits]

Was he drunk or just stupid?

They probably would have been more intimidated if he came out with a Speed-o instead of a sword.

[Xtremehkr]

Swords ought to be banned immediately.

[mkrishnan]

Bet he's mad because Bill Gates got knighted, and he didn't. :D


Well, he *does* have a sword.

It's a plausible explanation.

[virividox]

well at least he didnt cut anything off :)

[ziwi]

...in other news we have found out that the 'sword' was actually a letter opener and the neighbors we not 'afraid' but shocked at how small the letter opener was. No one was threatened outside of the neighbors cat. All are now laughing about it over a few pints.

Yikes... the first thing I thought of reading that headline was the classic (bad) Russ Meyer movie Beyond the Valley of the Dolls... the end involves a she-male running around topless with a sword killing everyone in sight.

This movie singlehandedly demonstrated that while Roger Ebert is a good movie critic, he should never be allowed to WRITE a movie again.

[wdlove]

I took you on your word, that it was a sword.

Chances are the neighbor was under the influence of some type of medication. Another up for the stupid award. Wonder if he has any children?

[ThomasJefferson]

Can't believe the patriot act left out a section naked men bearing swords.

[Sun Baked]

Can't believe the patriot act left out a section naked men bearing swords.I'm not worried about those, I'm worried about the pale/fat white men wearing a speed-o in public.

Daniel

Both?

I hope he doesn't have kids, for the sake of the human race. Darwin Award contender it would seem.

It's not the size. Its how you use it.

i think shakespeare said it best when he said "tis not the meat, but the motion"

this should be hilarious in court....

ROFL, yes, esp. if he constantly insisted on referring to himself in the third person, during court!

"Naked Steel prefers to see Naked Steel as a defender of American Family Values. You have accused Naked Steel of indecency, but let Naked Steel ask you, what is the real indecency? One naked man with a sword, or the decline of the culture of chivalry?"

:D

Great. Just as I was about to finally watch BTVOTD, you give away the ending. ;) I feel like getting even: in Citizen Kane, Rosebud is his sleigh. So there. Have fun watching that movie now....

I'd say let's start a lobby for that but it's probably already been done....

Maybe all sharp objects should be banned. :D

We already have many laws, just enforce those that exist. Public nudity is enough to put him away for a while.

[clayj]

Maybe all sharp objects should be banned. :D Don't forget point-ed sticks.

Of course, maybe we need to know how to defend ourselves against someone armed with fresh fruit before we move on to advanced subject matter like point-ed sticks.

[mactastic]

I could care less about public nudity. Brandishing a weapon in public is a different matter though. I'm always a little concerned about practicing weapon forms outdoors, even though indoors is a little impractical what with my 8' ceilings...

Of course where I live now I could practically walk outside naked with a beer and a shotgun and no one would notice.

[Mechcozmo]

And Soylent Green is people. :D

And Willy Wonka gives Charley the Chocolate Factory.
And in Space Balls, they blow up SpaceBall 1.
And I can't remember any more movies right now.

That was Eric Idle's best line for me; The best version of that sketch is the one from the "And Now for Something Completely Different" movie.


"What if he's got a bunch?"

"Shut up!"

"What if he's got a point-ed stick?"

"Shut Up"

<Laughs hysterically, frightening co-workers>

*sigh* my neighbourhood seems booooring.

Everyone knows you cant sit naked with a sword..you have to wear whitey tightys and swing around nunchucks
