I live in this town and believe me, I AM NOT SURPRISED! Klamtucky, The Deep South of the Northwest, you name it, HICKVILLE> Surprised it took this long to be on Failblog!
I lived there at the time, a few blocks from that Safeway parking lot. Got to say, I miss the mountains, but am Damn glad to be out of there… But hey, this picture got us on Leno at the time. All of OIT celebrated.
is it just me or does anyone else like to think that everyone on this blog is the same person and, we or he just argues with him, her it’s self together.
Or like how they all agree with eachother, if it’s more than one, which i dont like to think, i prefer its all just one person called garry from london. Which finds it amusing to be horrible 2 biritish people, even though he is british but now lives on the statue of liberty. Whcih is a bit iron since that was given by the french, (I THINK I DONT KNOW i mean i think ur all one person) and everyone hates french people
I believe that the “so” is actually supposed to go in front of the qui. Though “so” is not technically a french word. But why the hell is Garry speaking French? I mean come on, he’s from London! Besides, Everyone hates French People. (And thus to begin the cycle again…?)
I was not impolite. I simply stated my opinion. If I offended anyone, I am sorry. But I would bet several people on this comment page would refer to themselves as nerds, therefore what I said would not be offensive (to those individuals, anyway)
Lame story of the moment: I just put on some rice & totally forgot about it. Now the whole house stinks like burnt rice & i cant get the black sh1t off the bottom of the pan.
And the worse part is: that was the last of the rice, now i have nothing to go with my chicken! I suppose i’ll have to make do with noodles.
This seems like a reasonable thing to do. By drinking the beer in front of the cop the guy makes it difficult for a DUI charge to stick since he may not have been OTL before drinking it. The cop may have a gun pointed at him but he can’t exactly shoot the guy for not putting the beer down.
Having said that, I’ll bet he got the crap beaten out of him back at the station…
if you get pulled over for dui, grab some empties and a few full ones and run into the woods, then you can claim you drank them out in the woods (out of camera view.
I heard about a case where a drunk crashed his car in the woods, then sat on the hood with his bottle of booze and waited for the cops to show up. Once they could see him, he took a big drink from the bottle. Criminal charges were dropped because the officers’ statements said he drank an “unknown quantity” of alcohol, and were therefore unable to prove he was drunk when he was driving.
So I noticed. Things are slow by me in general. We got a bunch of snow this weekend, and I’ve been off of work. I’m getting lots done around the house though.
I got out faster than anyone thought I would, but it’s still slow. Back to wake up, pull myself together, take a nap, repeat. Down to only two pain pills a day
Weather wise things are blooming here. No joke. It’s the same up in Vancouver B.C.. The Olympics organizers are very depressed.
That’s great to hear. I hope it continues to remain a speedy recovery.
I’ve heard about the panic in Vancouver, I have a brother there. He says they’re trucking in snow. I’m still looking forward to the games, but then hockey doesn’t depend on the outside weather anymore.
I guess quite a few places are having an unusual winter this year.
The problem with trucking in snow and artificial snow is that it is too warm to keep it frozen. It will be a bit like skiing on a slurpee. *cuts to commercial* This SuperG is brought to you by 7-11. Oh thank heaven for 7-11.
are police officers allowed to point a gun at anyone? the guy didnt did anything (except drink and drive)…
he didnt killed anybody or somethin.
if a police officer would do that here in germany, he would go to jail for the rest of his live.
In the text under the picture, it said that the truck was thought to be stolen at the time. So when the person got out with something in his hand, the police officer to a precaution.
I have seen on the web videos where the driver threw the beer or other things at the officer, when they went to attack the officer.
yeah ok… I think because of the fact, that almost evryone can buy a gun in a supermarked and the crime rate is a “little bit” higher… thats quite ok.
maybe it would be better, if police officers would be a little better prepared and careful here, because they seem to wait until the crime has happened and after that they come into action… (when its too late)
I live in Klamath Falls and I remember seeing this in the paper. This is just another example of the fine upstanding people you will meet in K-town. I don’t blame the officer for pointing a gun at him either. Normaly if the person isn’t drunk, there tweeking, or both. If you think this is in any way out of the ordinary in Klamath then you obviously havn’t been here before.
Meh if its anything like some of the country towns over here in Australia then there is probably one copper covering a 1000 square miles of territory and about 4 pubs for every person one of which houses the only cop for 1000 square miles
This is far from a fail!!! There is a loophole in the current laws that allow you to get off a drink driving charge if you drink an undisclosed amount of alcohol after leaving the vehicle but before being breathelized. The cop is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the driver was drunk behind the wheel, as he may have only been drunk after exiting when he drank that drink. They can get him with street drinking, but not a pissy driving charge…. smart, smart man
Well the alcohol left in his mouth is enough for a blow in the bag to go over (& obviously swab test too).
And they cant force you to do a blood test just for alcohol. Even if they could, by the time they get you to the station for the test is enough time for it to enter your bloodstream.
Piss in the cup test is not accurate for alcohol, it can detect the presence, but how much is effected by water/diet/kidneys/liver/kebab.
& they cant force you to do that either.
The only accepted test is blow in the bag (eg. count to 5 into the machine).
That damn pic has been around forever, can’t believe something that old and well used was posted on failblog. Sure its funny but its been around awhile.
This is actually a good defense against drunk driving. If you are pulled over and you know you’re going to get a DUI, grab an unopened beer, step out of your vehicle and close the door behind you. Then, in front of the police, open the beer and slam it back before you take the breathalizer. You can argue that any readings taken have been compromised by you taking that drink. You get a sober friend to get you home and you’re off!
first oh yes it tastes good
This cookie, it is all yours.
this comment line is garbage. total garbage.
Cookies and beer? lol
wow……wow……uh….uh….wow?
I watched that last time you spammed it. It sucks. Stop spamming that crap.
To be honest…the guy calling fails harder than the couple on the phone.
the beer? or the comment?
this comment line is gold. total gold.
Smooth right to the finish.
I’m sure he has done it before, looks like same old thing all over again, here I am getting arrested again…
He does look practised.
*facepalm*
Is he tampering with evidence?
He’s just into the whole drinking scene.
“I don’t have a drinking problem, officer! See??”
*glug glug glug!*
“No problem with it at all.”
He realized too late someone spiked his drink with Dragon Grog.
He’ll recover.
Some day.
Maybe he has superpowers that are activated by drinking beer… duh duh duh… DUI man! :drunk:
I think he’s just fermenting trouble.
No, he needs to go potty and thought that he might as well get it all done at once.
Plus, he looks really, really thirsty.
it can’t be avoided
Epic win
DARN!
I live in this town and believe me, I AM NOT SURPRISED! Klamtucky, The Deep South of the Northwest, you name it, HICKVILLE> Surprised it took this long to be on Failblog!
haha, thats sad!
I lived there at the time, a few blocks from that Safeway parking lot. Got to say, I miss the mountains, but am Damn glad to be out of there… But hey, this picture got us on Leno at the time. All of OIT celebrated.
Oh my I used to live there as well…good ol’ K Falls…I miss the place sometimes but this reminds me what a place to have grown up lol
I STILL live here.
I got out for a while, then moved back. Seeing stuff like this makes me ashamed and excited all at the same time.
yup still live here and going to OIT
last year! woot!
Hickville is on Lonk Aisleland… Billy and Christy lived there onceth uponeth a time.
I stayed there for a while at my aunt and uncle’s house. Pretty town, though Hickville? I had no idea…
is it just me or does anyone else like to think that everyone on this blog is the same person and, we or he just argues with him, her it’s self together.
Or like how they all agree with eachother, if it’s more than one, which i dont like to think, i prefer its all just one person called garry from london. Which finds it amusing to be horrible 2 biritish people, even though he is british but now lives on the statue of liberty. Whcih is a bit iron since that was given by the french, (I THINK I DONT KNOW i mean i think ur all one person) and everyone hates french people
I don’t hate french people, after all they gave us french fries and french pies and they are yum yum especialy when you have the french high
The name “french fries” for deep fried potato chips is stupid!
yeah i totally agree!
yeah fo sure homie!
I agree, too, and so does my friend the other qbert here.
yea its stupid! i agre..
…The “french fries” are not french at all… It’s belgian idea. To “french” means to cut into slivers…
Dammit. Why did I… uh you, have to go and tell myself… uh… everyone that?!
I seem to have confused myself.
Who am I talking to?
Hi I’m garry from london who the hell are you?
Oh I know you! You’re my neighbor from the Statue of Liberty!
Garry from london, why are you talking to yourself?
You’re weird, garry.
You talking to me?
No, I’m talkin’ to me.
Could you all be a little more quite. Me, Myself and I are trying to have a conversation.
Quite so.
*facepalm*
*tries to reach over Garry to fix the e and t.*
Bukket please.
*hands bukkit to myself*
SSSPLORRRTCHHHHH!!!!
You fixed ET? Was he borkened?
whats wrong with the e & t?
looks a lot worse without them: “Qui so.”
I believe that the “so” is actually supposed to go in front of the qui. Though “so” is not technically a french word. But why the hell is Garry speaking French? I mean come on, he’s from London! Besides, Everyone hates French People. (And thus to begin the cycle again…?)
french fries?
London or Ontario?
England oops.
Well I’m not just that same person. I’m a net bot.
I believe the statue of liberty was composed of copper, not iron.
Still is.
Didn’t you hear? They transmogrified it back in the ’70s.
Not since those damn dirty apes blew it all up.
I thought it was granite.
Never take anything for granite.
… what a base comment. …
That’s not very gneiss…:P
you rock
was really feeling the first today. And now let the ensuing lame story telling of the nerds commence with your *hugs* and what not. ridiculous
It’s not *hugs.* It’s *squeeze.*
*adjusts pocket protector*
*skips away*
*pretends to squeeze Gracie, but actually hugs instead*
*runs away giggling with mischief*
I just got my RDA of irony.
*squeezes the Admirable Admiral*
*squeezes Admiral and Gracie*

*squeezes Gracie*
*squeezes self*
*squeezes Dragonwriter*

hahahaha, this is going straight to Brewski! *squeezes all around*
*scratches head*
*wonders how he managed to simultaneously comment with self*
*squeezes*
*scratches AA’s head*
I can scratch your head and rub my tummy at the same time.

*squeezes all variants of self*
you’ll go blind if you keep doing it with yourself, garrrrrry.
*squeezes in a comment*
Much love.
*squeezes everybody*
It’s OK Austin, you can participate too.
*hugs Austin*
Out of politeness, I will say thank you. But I’m sorry, I will not be participating in the squeezes.
Strange…you weren’t polite before.
People are strange when you’re a stranger.
*Squeeze*
I was not impolite. I simply stated my opinion. If I offended anyone, I am sorry. But I would bet several people on this comment page would refer to themselves as nerds, therefore what I said would not be offensive (to those individuals, anyway)
The lame story telling and ridiculous comments were a bit harsh Austin.
I’d go so far as to say they were downright rude.
*pins “NERDY AND PROUD!” button onto shirt*
*pins “NERDY AND PROUD!” badge on to sweater-vest*
fixed.
*puts “NERDY AND PROUD” band-aid on glasses*
*puts on “White & Nerdy” hoody*
*sees scotty mowing his front lawn*
*is hatin’*
Lame story of the moment: I just put on some rice & totally forgot about it. Now the whole house stinks like burnt rice & i cant get the black sh1t off the bottom of the pan.
And the worse part is: that was the last of the rice, now i have nothing to go with my chicken! I suppose i’ll have to make do with noodles.
Pins “nerdy & proud” badge to left nipple… OUCH!
*squeeze*
We should all embrace our inner nerd.
*squeezie*
*facepalms*
How is this a fail?!? Seems pretty logical to me.
jup, that´s how to set your priorities…
I feel so ashamed to live in Klamath Falls now…
Also I think that cop is my neighbor.
Really? I wonder what he was thinking at that moment.
That his neighbor should close his curtains at night.
Or at least not hang them naked, especially with potatoes lying around.
He was prolly thinking: Damn, my neighbour is drunk driving again. Ima pull my gun on him this time.
how does he drink beard? my beard dont grow fast enough for drink?
There seems to be a translation failure somewhere here.
OMG, if i was the cop i would have tased him.
dont tase me bro
don’t text me, bro.
don’t test me, bro.
Then your a douchebag. If i even see you i will run you down with my car, then hit you with my cattle prod.
That was unwarranted.
One for the books.
After it i was over, I hope they took arrest.
*Take his ‘i’ back.*
*saves his ’s’ for later*
And brace themselves for the next round.
*cuffs Marius on the shoulder*
That was funny!
*grabs a basketball*
Meet me at the Court.
Ooo, a pick up game.
Good night all, I’m off to catch some sleep.
Jungle ball, but no charging, we’ll call that as a personal foul.
Other than that, you have the right to remain violent.
He had probably just necked all the coke and pills in the car and needed something to swill it down with
Hell, at that point you might as well finish your beer..it’ll be your last one for quite a while after that!
Church! You’ve come back!
This seems like a reasonable thing to do. By drinking the beer in front of the cop the guy makes it difficult for a DUI charge to stick since he may not have been OTL before drinking it. The cop may have a gun pointed at him but he can’t exactly shoot the guy for not putting the beer down.

Cleversprite lives up to his name!

Excuse me while I kiss this guy.
*purple hazes*
*plays solo upside, on fire, with knees*
*takes a stroll all along the watchtower*
WIN!
Save water, drink beer!
Wow, noble cop pointing a gun to a drunk. God save America.
God save the choir boys!
Yeah. No drunken redneck has ever been a danger to anybody. We all know that.
Damn you and your Vulcan logic!
How’s things Scott? Slow going tonight.
So I noticed. Things are slow by me in general. We got a bunch of snow this weekend, and I’ve been off of work. I’m getting lots done around the house though.
How’s your latest recovery going?
I got out faster than anyone thought I would, but it’s still slow. Back to wake up, pull myself together, take a nap, repeat. Down to only two pain pills a day
Weather wise things are blooming here. No joke. It’s the same up in Vancouver B.C.. The Olympics organizers are very depressed.
That’s great to hear. I hope it continues to remain a speedy recovery.

Yeah, been there, skied that. Not a lot of fun. People will wonder why they’re showing the Slalom in slow motion.
New event: Bikini Downhill. The snowboarders would go for that.
It sounds like they’ll probably have the right weather for pond skimming too!
Anyway, I’m off to bed Mr. Canis Latrans Take care and have a good one.
Good night Scott. Write at you later.
That is not just beer that is a PBR Wisconsin’s finest. Also the cover of PBR Street Gang 7inch.
Connie for LIFE!!!!
Franger for life!
are police officers allowed to point a gun at anyone? the guy didnt did anything (except drink and drive)…

That’s quite ok …

maybe it would be better, if police officers would be a little better prepared and careful here, because they seem to wait until the crime has happened and after that they come into action… (when its too late)
thank you!
Lovely. I’ve seen this before, and I know the cop. Sadly, things like this happen in my crap town of Klamath Falls on a fairly regular basis.
I live in Klamath Falls and I remember seeing this in the paper. This is just another example of the fine upstanding people you will meet in K-town. I don’t blame the officer for pointing a gun at him either. Normaly if the person isn’t drunk, there tweeking, or both.

Meh if its anything like some of the country towns over here in Australia then there is probably one copper covering a 1000 square miles of territory and about 4 pubs for every person one of which houses the only cop for 1000 square miles
And we wouldn’t have it any other way!
Well… except for your use of “miles”, its kilometres fool. We adopted the metric system 50 odd years ago, get with the times.
WIN! =)
This is a ‘win’ technically – if he was drunk, no way to prove that he was over the limit PRIOR to that beer…
Win. That guy is bad ass.
“Resisting arrest” – don’t cops just charge everyone with this trumped up charge now days?
yes, but the beer was just irresistible.
This is far from a fail!!! There is a loophole in the current laws that allow you to get off a drink driving charge if you drink an undisclosed amount of alcohol after leaving the vehicle but before being breathelized. The cop is unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the driver was drunk behind the wheel, as he may have only been drunk after exiting when he drank that drink. They can get him with street drinking, but not a pissy driving charge…. smart, smart man
but alcohol doesn’t take hold immediately, so can’t they prove drunkenness via a more direct test?
Well the alcohol left in his mouth is enough for a blow in the bag to go over (& obviously swab test too).
And they cant force you to do a blood test just for alcohol. Even if they could, by the time they get you to the station for the test is enough time for it to enter your bloodstream.
Piss in the cup test is not accurate for alcohol, it can detect the presence, but how much is effected by water/diet/kidneys/liver/kebab.
& they cant force you to do that either.
The only accepted test is blow in the bag (eg. count to 5 into the machine).
Good for him. F-ck the police.
Kudos to the photojournalist for being there right at the perfect moment
It is a WIN! In the text underneath: it is a passenger and no one else was arrested but the driver!
win
Certainly looks like a free country….
That damn pic has been around forever, can’t believe something that old and well used was posted on failblog. Sure its funny but its been around awhile.
this counts as a win in my book
I used to live in that town! O.O
why is it necessary to point a gun at someone who is drinking?
win!
i’d call that a win: “well if i’m gettin arrested i might as well finish my beer since it doesn’t make a difference!”
This is actually a good defense against drunk driving. If you are pulled over and you know you’re going to get a DUI, grab an unopened beer, step out of your vehicle and close the door behind you. Then, in front of the police, open the beer and slam it back before you take the breathalizer. You can argue that any readings taken have been compromised by you taking that drink. You get a sober friend to get you home and you’re off!
HAHA white people
I aspire to be this man.
good
!
Is really an epic fail. >:D
WOOOO!!! GO OREGON!!! SETTING HIGH STANDARDS AS USUAL!!!
I live in K Falls, this is basically an everyday thing.
Only in America: The drunk is an enornous danger to the officer. That is why the latter has to hold his weapon onto him.
I love that this happened not too far from where I used to live…and in my home state – Oregon!
