Since living through a cobra attack in 2003, Weathers has been a regular on MTV’s “Wildboyz,” starred in the second “Jackass” movie. “My advice to anybody with snakes is this: Do not get bitten by a diamondback rattlesnake. Get bitten by a cobra instead.”
I think that about sums it up.

Jahon, in many ways, what you said is right. If you are bitten by the right kind of cobra, and if you use compression bandaging the correct way, and if you are near a good medical center, and if the correct antivenin is available, and if the doctor you find knows what to do, then some cobra bites might not be nearly as bad as a pitviper bite.
However, that is a lot of "IF's."
And it sure does not assure that it will make you a TV star !

I posted that quote to show people some words that came out of that guy's mouth. That has to be one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. How about don't get bitten by a venomous snake at all! Maybe I'm failing to see the humor or sarcasm he might have intended with that quote, but I sure as shoot didn't read it that way.

Jahon, yep, "don't get bitten by a venomous snake at all" would be a much better thing to say. Most likely, he intended the remark to be sarcastic, even if it did not register that well with his audience.

I didn't really intend this thread to go off like this. I have never had the 'pleasure' of watching wildboyz, and I don't know the guy that has been mentioned several times on this thread. But I think John nailed it on the head. The crew of that show may love animals and not hurt them, but that is not the perception of the target audience. This I know from experience. The show was at its peak when I was still teaching high school, and my students ALL (that is 100%) had seen the show at least once and they ALL (100% again) had the same perception of it...it was about using animals for entertainment (without concern for their well being).

I don't know if any of you listen to Rick & Bubba on the radio. I try not to, but this story was on their show this morning. Their take on this is that there is no such thing as cruelty to snakes because the only good snake is a dead snake. They went on to say that vets should have 'special training' for treating snakes that involves keeping a meat cleaver under the counter. They spewed about 5 minutes of idiotic filth about snakes before it was all said and done. It saddens me that they get paid to be morons, and it saddens me that people not only listen to thier stupidity, some actually believe it.

Wow, what an interesting thread... the one thing that hasn't been mentioned, though, to my surprise, is that it takes at least three people to play jump rope, doesn't it? One to do the jumping and two to hold the rope. So what about the other two?

Josh, since you changed the title to this thread, it inspired to me to share Sebastian and my latest songwriting effort, inspired by true events....
(You have to imagine the creaky old time modal fiddle melody that goes with it).
Redneck women walkin' up the road,
Talkin' about their men,
They're either walkin' a dog,
Or the dog is a-walkin' them.
Redneck man gets up ever' day,
Long about the crack of Dawn -
Shines his truck and goes to work,
Comes home and mows the lawn.
Tires and beer cans,
Ever'where you go,
Bottles and shotgun shells -
Rednecks take the prettiest places and
Turn 'em into.... well,
If you ain't somebody they already know,
If you drive a foreign car,
They'll drop what they're doin' and stare you down,
As if you come from Mars.
Pretty little animals,
Crossin' the road,
Turtles and squirrels and deer,
Along comes a redneck haulin' his load,
And all that's left is a smear.
Redneck woman bakin' a pie,
Fattenin' up her man,
Soon he'll have a heart attack and die,
And she'll take all she can.
