Drongo Of The Year - 2008  

There are far too many people out there who go unrecognised for their efforts to brighten up our lives with random acts of gross stupidity.  With this in mind, I'm instigating a new award. 

Like the nominees, the award is totally worthless. I shall poll the candidates at the end of the year and you can vote on it. I encourage you to nominate anybody who you feel is suitably unworthy.





My first candidate for the job goes to the anonymous subject of my previous post (The Bike Rider). Should he win, I have no doubt that I will be awarding the honour posthumously. 

The subject of this post however, is a strong candidate indeed. I quote from the 'Perth Now' news site:

"Learner 'hooned in police station car park'
February 04, 2008 08:04am

A LEARNER driver has been charged by police after he was allegedly caught doing burnouts in the car park of a police station yesterday.
It will be alleged that at around 12.30am yesterday, officers inside Cannington Police Station heard the 24-year-old Maddington man carrying out burnouts in his Ford Falcon sedan in the front car park.

The officers came out of the station to confront the man, and he was taken from the car before it was seized for 48 hours under the Hoon Legislation.

The man has been charged with reckless driving, driing with a blood-alcohol level of more than 0.08 per cent, and driving contrary to a learner’s permit.

He will appear before the Perth Magistrates Court on Thursday."


This is an amazing story! That someone's brains could be entirely made from shit and sawdust is astounding. Here is a man aged 24 and he is a slow-learner driver. I'd suggest that the only reason he is attempting to gain his licence at the age of 24 is that he has only just completed year 12 of high school. 

This story was almost unbelievable and the drongo meter has this nominee rating very highly indeed.

I'm not quite so shocked.. I see a lot of similiar stuff in court.. single brain celled creatures doing burn outs in front of marked cop cars etc.. actually had one guy pull up next to a parked cop car to ask for directions, even from they distance they could smell the booze..he blew .225%
