Dispute over age ends in pitchforking

All three men were drinking in their mobile home in the 1200 block of Paseo Derecho around 10 p.m. Sunday, when the two cousins began arguing over who was older.

One of the cousins grabbed a pitchfork, and when the uncle stepped between his nephews, he was stabbed in the arm.

Yeah, but who was older?

[Table 5]

this story seems ######ed on so many levels. how the hell do you get in a fight over whos older, and why can't this be solved in about, oh, 4 seconds of conversation.

redneck a: i'm 25
redneck b: I'm 26.
redneck a: ok, youre older.

wow, math sure is hard.

[TheyCallMeBruce]

LOL!! I like how a pitchfork is involved.

It is a Southern state...

I think more disputes need to be settled by a good 'ole fashioned pitchforking.

I'm thinking that the type of people who would argue over who is older, would likley have a relatively high incednece rate of ending arguements with pitchforks.

Any chance that the 2 cousins arguing are also married to each other?

Considering your comments minutes ago in the Native airspace thread.. that is one hell of a hypocritical comment my friend.

Winsor_Pilates rules
1) Native "bashing" is a no-no
2) Stereotyping people in the south and bashing them, good to go!

I'm just trying to imagine how this could even be an arguement. There would have to be a lot of stereotypes in play here.

My guess is that the issue of age became cloudy for these people as they repeatedly switched places in school as far as passing and failing grades, to the point where they don't recall who is actually older.

What no stoning? Come on now settle it like men

are you serious?
you're comparing my comments about specific people who pitchforked each other to comments about an entire race.

No where did I make a blanket statement about the entire people from the south, just people who argue about how old they are and pitchfork each other.
If I had said something along the lines of "people in the south need to stop doing this, I will judge them all the same" then you'd have a point.

nice try

I personally think that pitchforking should be instituted as a more standard form of argument resolution.

One of them is right and one of them is wrong. And the wrong one has a pitchfork sticking out of him. The facts seem remarkably irrelevant.

Pariliament should adopt this for House of Commons debate assertion.

... which segues nicely to that age-old Edmonton debate, when two Edmontonians get divorced are they still brother and sister? Bada-boom.

I'm sure we can settle this. Who has the pitchfork?

Why would anyone keep a pitchfork inside their mobile home?

...nevermind...

[Robbob]

I'm personally glad to see pitchfork related incidents rising. Haven't seen it too much since the old mass mob days with the torches. Good times.

This is getting dangerous. I demand that the government implement a national pitchfork registry.

That would end in tragedy.
