Badassery

[AceBeam]

What would you consider the most manliest, awesome thing to have happened was? Your definition of Badassery?

 

 

 

I think the sum of badassery was Sigurdur Petursson. He was watching his crew process some fish at a dock, when he saw a shark in the water. He jumped in, dragged the shark to land, and murdered it with his knife. The shark was 14ft long, and weighed 300kg's... Sigurdur was 55.

 

 

 

 

 

Rules of Badassery

 

1) Person must be badass.

 

2) No fictional characters.

 

3) Must involve manliness.

[MisterGreen]

Being able to pat your head and rub your stomach at the same time. The ultimate sign of manliness.

lick your elbow

 

 

 

A friend of mine can do that. Well, almost, he's about 2 milimiters away. :wall:

I can do it too, I just have to dislocate my shoulder.

Simo Hayha!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Taken from Cracked.com:

 

 

 

 

 

 

Simo Hayha had a fairly boring life in Finland. He served his one mandatory year in the military, and then became a farmer. But when the Soviet Union invaded his homeland in 1939, he decided he wanted to help his country.

 

 

 

Since the majority of fighting took place in the forest, he figured the best way to stop the invasion was to grab his trusty rifle, a couple of cans of food and hide in a tree all day shooting Russians. In six feet of snow. And 20-40 degrees below zero.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Can you spot Hayha? Neither could the Russians.

 

 

 

Of course when the Russians heard that dozens of their men were going down and that it was all one dude with a rifle, they got [bleep]ing scared. He became known as "The White Death" because of his white camouflage outfit, and they actually mounted whole missions just to kill that one guy.

 

 

 

They started by sending out a task force to find Hayha and take him out. He killed them all.

 

 

 

Then they tried getting together a team of counter-snipers (which are basically snipers that kill snipers) and sent them in to eliminate Hayha. He killed all of them, too.

 

 

 

Over the course of 100 days, Hayha killed 542 people with his rifle. He took out another 150 or so with his SMG, sending his credited kill-count up to 705.

 

 

 

Since everyone they had was either too dead or too scared to go anywhere near him, the Russians just carpet-bombed everywhere they thought he might be. Supposedly, they had the location right, and he actually got hit by a cloud of shrapnel that tore his coat up, but didn't actually hurt him, because he's the [bleep]ing White Death, damn it.

 

 

 

Finally on March 6th, 1940, some lucky bastard shot Hayha in the head with an exploding bullet. When some other soldiers found him and brought him back to base, he "had half his head missing." The White Death had finally been stopped...

 

 

 

 

 

 

...for about a week. In spite of having come down with a nasty case of shot-in-the-face syndrome, he was still very much alive, and regained consciousness on March 13, the very day the war ended.

It looks like the last guy has a different rifle. You can see the bolt part on his, but not in any of the other shots, and the shape of the gun is different.

That's really interesting, seriously.

[dsavi]

I can't believe we did the entire Winter War in history class and he was never mentioned once.

[ThurinEthir]

Simo Hayha also lived to 96 years old. Impressive.

[Dizzle229]

Bah, Hayha was a [kitty]. Sure he did all that, but could he lick his elbow?

Simo Hayha, or Chuck Norris..?

chuck norris may be able to run fast enough to go around the world and punch himself in the back of the head but that doesnt help when you cant find your opponent.

Arthur Blessitt who walked across the entire world carrying a 12 foot cross on his back and walking through many battlefronts.

[EdgedThesis]

What about the guys who were further up the list than Simo?

 

 

 

The Indian guy who climbed up a mountain without cable, took out a bunker with one grenade, took nine shots, killed everyone in another bunker with his bare hands, made his way down the mountain, received 4 more shots, and broke his arm on the way down?

 

And survived? The only one to receive India's highest honor and still be alive.

 

 

 

Even higher on the list is Audie Murphy. The guy who acted in a movie about his own life, but played down facts because he thought people would think it was too unbelievable.

[Zierro]

Burning yourself alive.

[Star_Fox]

Burning yourself alive.

 

 

 

 

 

like the Buddhist monk in Vietnam? its very controversal. you got to be very stupid or have a lot of balls to actually burn yourself and not flinch. :lol:
