SUAMICO, Wis. A Pulaski man is hospitalized at a burn center in Milwaukee after his home-made sheep costume caught fire at a bar in Suamico. Twenty-one-year-old Justin DeStarkey suffered burns over 80 percent of his body when the cotton balls and glue ignited at Chambers Hill Bar early Sunday. Sheriff's investigators say DeStarkey was dancing near the bar when he may have brushed against a cigarette.

Baaad, baaad burn. :-(

[theDentist]

Prayers for this guy.

[AppyPappy]

Never wear a sheep costume to a BAAAAAAHR

[Oberon]

I'll bet he was doing some serious dancing after that.

Poor guy.

[Red Badger]

This should get interesting.......

[saganite]

A real life sheeple!

[Brilliant]

wasn't a gay bar was it?

[tgusa]

Ah, the demon rum strikes again .....

Darn cigarette's again!

Always a bummer when your cotton balls burn. Maybe he was going to the Halloween party dress as a Darwin candidate.

[Abbeville Conservative]

Burns over 80% of his body? Ewe!!!!

[Red Badger]

Before or after the fire?......

[muleskinner]

Bush's fault

[Abbeville Conservative]

I just invented a cotton ball sheep costume for Halloween parties.

[aculeus]

Baaad, baaad burn. :-(

Oh ewe!

[kinoxi]

his home-made sheep costume

There's a lesson in there somewhere.

[Mrs Ivan]

Everything I could possibly say would be in horribly bad taste.

[Pete from Shawnee Mission]

This is sad. I really feel sorry for him.

[Nachoman]

I hope he got first place for the human torch costume.

[vikingd00d]

I guess he's the blackened sheep of his family..

[4yearlurker]

I was going to post a crude remark, but I was afraid I would be lambasted.

[camle]

bring on in the sheep
bring on in the sheep
we shall come rejoicing
bring on in the sheep!

[RichInOC]

I'm sorry. I know this is painful and tragic...and yet I laughed until my eyes watered.

his home-made sheep costume caught fire ..... when the cotton balls and glue ignited

I wish I had a nickel for everytime that happened.

[Cheapskate]

This poor chump wasn't doing flaming shots was he?

good 'ol 151!!

Grissom is on it. When furries and plushies go bad, CSI's there!

Montana hot date?

[VRWCmember]

Was this the guy?

[DouglasKC]

What? You never heard of a roast lamb costume?

[peeps36]

I hope this was accidental and not a practical joke that went horribly wrong.

I thought this was another Kerry thread.

Shear madness.

[beezdotcom]

How did this happen? Was the gerbil already on fire?

[Verloona Ti]

If he was burned over 80% of his body, prayers probably should be that he dies in a morphine-induced state of peaceful painfreeness. :-( Poor man.

[Fatuncle]

You people should be ashamed of yourselves for these tasteless comments. (carefully taking notes for future use) Ashamed, I say!

[null and void]

That would be for third degree burns. If 3rd degree, he has a 20% chance of survival, that's the worst case. Lighter burns mean higher chances.

That being said, morphine is GOOD...

[San Jacinto]

Why was he wearing a sheep costume to a bar? Trying to get picked up by some Iranian?

[NRA1995]

Baa Baa blackened sheep, have you any wool.....oh never mind

[null and void]

That would be a goat costume...

[1rudeboy]

Terrible how certain people flock to threads such as these . . . .

[Verloona Ti]

Third degree burns, yes, but maybe 2nd too if they're over his face. :-( I know I'd rather be dead than badly disfigured. In a few years, though, maybe the "face harvesting" from the newly dead will end that terror, too-Man, this is getting too macabre even for hallowe'en!.

[Matchett-PI]

I thought this was another thread about Kerry.

[GOP_1900AD]

B-53, I reckon ....

[San Jacinto]

Ewe said it!

[PjhCPA]

Do I have to admit I'm from the same state as this guy?

[ArrogantBustard]

WTF????

Sheriff's investigators say DeStarkey was dancing near the bar when he may have brushed against a cigarette.

Cotton balls don't ignite that easily, unless they're absolutely soaked in something else that's flammable.
