01.06.09 SPEAR TO THE GROIN!

Greg Robertson, an Australian diver spear-fishing off the continent’s southern coast, landed an unexpectedly large catch — himself!  (How did I do?  I’m practicing writing ledes for UK tabloids.) No, but seriously, he shot a two-meter spear directly into his groin.

[T]he 25 year old was pushed onto the speargun, which had been washed out of his hands by a wave.  The two metre long spear pierced his inside upper thigh, just millimetres from his genitals and femoral artery, and lodged several centimetres under the skin…

“The spear’s barbed on the end, so it’s locked in there. He got up and said ‘It’s in me, it’s in me!” [a witness said.]

That’s what she said!  Hey, I got a two-meter spear gun for your groin right here! At least, uh, I think I do.  I’m not so good at metric conversion.  Inches and meters are about the same, right?

If I had to choose between getting shot with a spear in the groin and getting shot with a spear in the femoral artery, I’d probably go groin. Because if Verne Troyer has taught us anything, it’s that there’s a market out there for novelty cock.

Several centimeters? So it was just a flesh wound.

What’s the difference between a groin spear and a harPOON gun?

I wonder if it made an America’s Funniest Home Videos noise. Like a bell, honk, or a boink sound.

Just wondering if you have any relation to:
http://www.bj-sportz.com/
That site has a large number of “With Leather” articles, copied word for word…

I hope you’re not referring to me as the “spam robot”…I am an avid reader of “With Leather” and found it offensive to see the same material on another site without proper credit being given.

With Leather is a blog about all the assholes and idiots in the world of sports, and the hot chicks who date them. People who get offended or take too much pride in their favorite team should probably just leave now, because I hate you already.
