Don't know why they would do that - unless they were thinking of eating whoever they trapped.

When I hear “booby trap” I’m reminded of the scene in “Who Framed Roger Rabbit” where the weasel sticks his hand down Jessica’s cleavage and pulls it out with a bear trap on it. Punch line was “Nice booby trap!!!”

These two set “deadly” traps that could “kill people,” and all they receive are misdameanor charges?

Looks like he engaged in one of those tribal African earlobe disc insertion “beautification” rituals.

How hip, edgy and multicultural of him.

Probably spiked and disfigured his inner labial lips as well.....

Those ears look like they were made that way by him, similar to those weird african native ear piercings......big holes with a stick stuck in them and stretched out.

Why would you want to trap boobies? Doesn't seem like they have an awful lot of meat to them.

“Here” being California, some other “hip” liberal hell hole, or some college town, full of brain dead youth, I assume....

One of the Los Angeles TV stations has a weather dude named "Kai Goldberg"...and he's black.

We refer to him as the 'ethnically confused one'.

That “Kai” dude must be pissed at the world for his stupid name and his abnormal ear lobes.

Those earlobes are "pegs" - a particularly idiotic form of "self-modification." Bigger and bigger studs are put in ones earlobes to make the holes larger and larger.

Its good when the stupidest elements of society self-identify themselves with clearly visible markings like this, so the rest of us know what we are dealing with.

Here I’ve heard them called “gauges,” disks inserted into the earlobes by idiots who whine about not being able to get a good job (when they actually want one) because they look like freaks.

Looks like he had cosmetic surgery and had pig foreskins transplanted onto his ear lobes.

I'm with you there my FRiend!

Back in the 90's I'd see some idiot with piercings all over his or her face and say to them "HEY! Whose tackle box did you fall in to!"

Always good for a laugh.

Can't wait 'till they start putting the plates in the lips.

New tagline just got it. Not making fun of PTSD, I've got it myself. Macrabe humor if you will. Not trying to hijack the thread.

Those idiots should be facing more than a misdemeanor IMHO.
