Maybe someone can explain why he put his lava lamp on the stove?

He didn't have a lightbulb to put in the base......or he's a member of the instant generation (McD's, 3 minute bacon, ect) and couldn't wait for it to heat up with the bulb and had to groove now....

It's not bad enough this poor dumbass had to live life as a dumbass, but he had to die of his chronic dumbassness, and then have it be international news that he was in fact, a dumbass. beer3.gif

I think he's got a boner from reading Playboy and doesn't want his wife to see it. unsure.gif

To be added to all future lava lamps....just like the "dumbass stickman reaching under the mower while it's still running", or "dumbass stickman pulling a vending machine over on top of him", or ....[insert your own "dumbass stickman" here]

Okay, I suck at MSpaint, but you get the point biggrin.gif
