back to article Thai bloke battles jumbo python in toilet todger thriller

A Thai chap's "morning routine of a shower and protracted bowel movement" was rudely interrupted earlier this week when a 4-metre python clamped its laughing gear round his todger as he squatted over the throne. According to an eye-watering report by Khaosod English - (some pics quite possibly NSFW) - Atthaporn Boonmakchuay of …

          Does that mean that if two other people complain about not being able to find it without searching, the Bastard Operator from Hell will be given its own entry on the navbar at the top?

        "THIS ARTICLE DOES NOT HAVE TO HAVE AN IT ANGLE"

        Oh come on.. It's a Python story. How could that not be an IT angle.

      It's a metaphor for a high level porgramming language with the same name as the snake..... do keep up....

      The IT angle is clear as day

      "...is anyone else trying to figure out the IT angle to this story?"

      The number of Todger Entanglement stories bear a direct relationship to the frustration at the LOHAN Failure to Launch. Expect more. Many more.

      Well, might be you, after all the article mentions (a) Python...

    Hmm. "Enter the Python."

    Sounds like some kind of low rent chopsokey movie

    Mine's the one with the John Woo back catalogue in the pocket.

    They smashed the toilet?!

    But someone tried to beat the cistern.

      Re: They smashed the toilet?!

      The article and most of the comments made me laugh but 'Beating the cistern' for some reason almost resulted in the tea treatment for my keyboard.

      Have a beer!

        Same here. The beat the system/cistern thing first, then another thought occurred, maybe another euphemism along the same lines as "bashing the bishop"

          Re: They smashed the toilet?!

          I'd never heard of 'beating the cistern' so I figured it was yet another slang term for whacking off. Then again, I'd never heard of 'bashing the bisbop', either. I've learned so much British slang reading El Reg, lol.

    Stock Photograph is wrong

    Lester,

    Whoever chose that picture for the article has no idea of what a PYTHON actually looks like.

    But I can tell you that if the rattlesnake in the picture had bitten his "todger" there would be no happy ending for him.

      Who? The snake, the attacked appendix or the entire owner thereof?

    Wild Python?

    After being tied to a door, and then having its face taken to bits, I bet it was bloody furious!

      Wild? I expect it was absolutely livid.

    After the article about android on PI, this is clearly a cautionary tale for those wishing to install python on their Wii :)

      Ghat damn, that thing is BLOODY ENORMOUS.

      The snake's lucky that this lad was apparently a wildlife-loving sort. Fuck the rope, I'd have been bellowing for the garden shears or nearest shotgun.

    Crapper flappers to be fitted from now on'

    Maybe he was reading an IT mag at the time and got confused about injecting code in Python.

    So there’s probably a lot of design engineers on here so go on guys design a loo with a flap at the output stage for when you’ve finished, could be worth a patent and some bucks.
