Aug 30 2009Crazy Fool Is "Friends" With A Pack Of Lions
This crazy damn fool, Kevin Richardson, runs a wildlife refuge in South Africa and has become a member of a pack of lions. It is probably the awesomest and stupidest thing I've ever seen (and I once saw a friend jump off the top of his parents' townhouse with a trashbag parachute). Just sayin', you remember how Grizzly Man ended, don't you? SPOILER ALERT: As a giant Timmy Treadwell-shaped grizzly turd. But who am I to judge? I'm just a regular guy who bangs dinos. RAWR! YES....YES....EAT ME NOOOOOOOW!
Thanks to Asbo, who was once accepted into a pod of whales but was later rejected when he tried to suckle one's teat.

Bah, he isn't fit to hold David Salmoni's cane. Try approaching wild lions with nothing for protection but a cane like David did in Into the Lion's Den. Or making friends with a buch of bad attitude misfits that have been kicked out of other refuges because of their bad attitudes like he is on the current show Into the Pride. Or teach captive tigers to live in the wild as he did in Living with Tigers. Salmoni's the man and has the biggest set of balls on the planet.

"it's not something i think about or worry about"

13. Free ipod - August 30, 2009 8:25 PM
wait are the tiger in that vid trained?
14. OtterMan - August 30, 2009 8:35 PM
That's quite cute. I guess at the end of the day, if they have truly accepted him (and it damn well looks like it) then they're unlikely to do anything to him - if they were, they would have done it by now.
Kudos to him.

If friendly appearing chimps eat peoples eyelids, lips and heels off then I reckon this guy is gonna get seriously screwed over one day soon
18. therealRoboticDeathArmy - August 30, 2009 10:07 PM

19. nadalo日本にいます。SHADOWS ALL WRONG - August 30, 2009 11:56 PM
looks very touchy and kudos to him, i just hope that he doent end up like the "bear guy" that was most likely attacked killed and eaten by his bear friend in the wilderness....do you guys remember him?

@7, David in the lions den?
Congrats, you get the re-written biblical story of the week award. Worse than Madea! (Someone out there must have gotten that reference)
21. SAn - August 31, 2009 1:52 AM

It's a pride of lions, FYI. Dogs and wolfs live in packs.

Moo

We South Africans all have titanium balls, we all live with lions. The difference is that whereas normal civilized ZA folks will live indoors with them, this guy is actually roughing it and living with them in the tuin. Pretty rof. This oke wears his shoes out from the inside, ek sê.
31. ciao - August 31, 2009 8:48 AM
he may be able to survive a pack of lions, though that doesn't mean he can deal with my family. :P
32. Pat - August 31, 2009 8:58 AM
Aww, they're just big kittenses!
This guy seems 110-times saner than Timothy Treadwell ever was (just watch the "Grizzly Man" trailer to see what I mean).

Are you hitting on me?!?! If so....I'm very flattered, but The Baroness is already courting me and I don't have the attention span to handle two suitors.
