MONUMENT, Colo. - A former high school basketball coach faces 39 charges for allegedly hitting male students in the groin (showing them pornography and pouring water on his players then driving them to games in the winter with the windows rolled down) when they would answer "Bangkok".

Burr, who was arrested, posted $10,000 bail on Dec. 14, court records show.

In arrest records, some of the victims portrayed the incidents as Burr's misguided attempts at humor but said they kept quite for fear of getting kicked off the team. One student estimated some of the players were hit in the groin 30-40 times.

Another said the blows occurred at every practice, with the coach hitting them with his hand, basketballs and tennis balls.
:woot:
 
uhhh..yeah that guy has problems.

But I do that joke often. its pretty funny too. :up:
 
See, when a 16 year old asks another 16 year old that question, it's funny.

When there's a 39 year old involved, it's just weird.
 
The capital is Thailand is Krung Thep. Actually, that's just an abbreviation. The full name is:
Krungthep Mahanakhon Amonrattanakosin Mahintharayutthaya Mahadilokphop Noppharatratchathani Burirom-udomratchaniwet Mahasathan Amonphiman Awatansathit Sakkathattiya Witsanu Kamprasit

Translation:
The city of angels, the great city, the eternal jewel city, the impregnable city of God Indra, the grand capital of the world endowed with nine precious gems, the happy city, abounding in an enormous Royal Palace that resembles the heavenly abode where reigns the reincarnated god, a city given by Indra and built by Vishnukam
 
That is Bangkok's ceremonial name, and is not considered its true official name.


Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch in Wales is the longest official town name in the world. It means "The church of St. Mary in the hollow of white hazel trees near the rapid whirlpool by St. Tysilio's of the red cave".
 
Damn the Welsh, and their excessive use of L's and W's.
 
:shakes head:

whats sadder that a 39 year old is playing these games, or teenagers are suing over it.
