How To Steal A National Flag (WYPD Moment)
 

WYPD .. La Salina .. Mexico .. September 2006 ... awesome time as you have all been made aware ...

OK, so thanks to the guy with the camera at 3am in the morning, the one with a name like a fish who does some alright designs but wanted to stay anonymous because of the potential international repercussions of national flag stealing, and even hid behind a sign far away while the "alleged" offence was perpetrated ...

Thanks Sharky !!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Also thanks to my new apprentice, my partner in crime, who unflinching remained steadfast even under the most stressful of situations, he who also wished to remain nameless to avoid unwanted confusion at future border crossings.

Thanks Rob, you rock !!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

So anyway, step by step, piece by piece, drunken maggoted moment caught on film, the analysis of the perfect crime ....

"Rob" and ToyBoy contemplate and meticulously, drunkenly plan the raid ....

More than appropriately prepared and lubricated, ToyBoy quietly sneaks towards the flagpole ....

Now upon reaching the scene of the alleged offence it was discovered that the bloody flag pole sat across a rather large billboard stand that was unable to be negotiated without a ladder. Luckily, the groundsman's shed was open, resplendent with 3 ladders to choose from (a lesson for all there, NEVER leave things lying around that may aid an "alleged" criminal !!) ....

With the assistant of my willing and able assistant (who shall only be known as "Rob" (get back in the fucking quiet chair bitch !! - location joke that one), the structure was carefully approached to go for theb grab ....

After the ladder climb, there was the flagpole and sign frame to negotiate, and the piping frame to climb, and the ighter to use to burn through the ropes because the fucking knots were horrendous and mucho old....

From aloft up high, looking down on all creation (and the highway) ToyBoy proudly displays the now unfettered tablecloth ....

Lovingly and carefully packaged for the getaway, ToyBoy makes off with the bounty (note that the entire "alleged" incident was perpetrated without the beer leaving the hand !!) ....

The subject of the "alleged" offence now proudly hangs on my bedroom wall - a constant reminder of the spirit of WYPD !!!

Thanks YNot Bob !!!

:winkwink: :thumbsup :1orglaugh :pimp

no snipers? lol....nice but dangerous moves :-)

Had to duck a few times to dodge the security guard at the front gate.

:winkwink: :thumbsup :1orglaugh :pimp

tell me again why the entire world hates americans?
























just kidding. well, sort of... but nice moves. :-)

What do Americans have to do with this?

Because they are American.

I am not.

:thumbsup :winkwink: :1orglaugh :pimp

Exactly. That's why I was scratching my head. I think he just owned himself.

Self-ownership ?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sure thing.

Self-ownership: the process by which someone does a drive-by on a thread, makes a stupid comment (generally a comment designed to make someone ELSE look stupid, or forward some political agenda), and then ends up LOOKING stupid because they didn't read/understand/know.

Also available in Lease or Rent to Own.

something tells me you have a serious collection of national flags @ home lindz

tha'ts a great story. not super surprising when you realize the characters involved... but a great story none the less

Perhaps you should swap out that beer for water or green tea, and climb that ladder about 50 times a day to work off all that flab!

:winkwink:

Flab? You haven't met CTB I guess.

Classic Lindsay...good one bro. Let's keep it in mind for Costa Rica next year. Maybe an international collection of flags from webmaster shows, worldwide?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Oh man, that deserves a SITE!

LOL i remember that night, i also remember not wantint anything to do with the 3am festivities.

oh man....:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

hahahaha. Man I was scared. I would not look good locked up in a mexican prison!
Lindsay is not only Brave for performing this feat of drunken senselessness.. but he also has ABSOLUTELY no fear of hights when he is drunk off his mind. What the pictures don't show clearly is Lindsay scaling the flagpole about 100ft in the air while standing on a ledge about 3-4 inches wide!

No video unfortunately - would have been cool to have though - was not a dramatically pre-planned event, well thought out in 5 minutes type of thing ;-)

he he.

:thumbsup

Sadly, the first of many Brock..... methinks I have started a new CTB trend.

:winkwink:

Idea came from another Aussie friend of mine who, while living in a kibbutz in Israel, scaled a flagpols at an Israeli army base and souveniered the flag from there.

Now **THAT'S** ballsy.

Methinks Israeli soldiers shoot straighter than Mexicans.

He he

:winkwink:

Gabe,

You even (wisely?) bailed from the "mosh pit" when I stage dived at the MiniKiss concert !!!

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Ha ha ha ha.

Brave ? Nah.

Fearless ? Nah.

Foolish ? Maybe.

Fun ? Hell yeah !!!

:thumbsup :1orglaugh :pimp

Indeed.

I was trying to be a smart ass, and thought you were from the USA.

Drats!!!

:1orglaugh

Fail! :1orglaugh

Was good for a laugh, though!

For sure.

:thumbsup

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

DONT give him any ideas:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Nothing like some self-ownage to keep ya in check from time to time. :1orglaugh

Ahh, good times. :1orglaugh That was quite the late night for me. :thumbsup :)

Hey, if you can't take a little self-ownage, you definitely don't belong on GFY, right?
