A Vermont lawmaker was compelled to apologize publicly after being caught on video pouring water into her colleague’s work bag multiple times across several months.
The bizarre behavior is allegedly a part of a campaign of harassment that one legislator aimed at another who represents the same district in the Green Mountain state, independent outlet Seven Days first reported.
The Republican representative, Mary Morrissey, 67, confessed to dumping water in the bag of the Democratic legislator Jim Carroll, 62. She later apologized during a Vermont state house session on Monday, Boston.com reported.
“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.
Morrissey did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
It was a contest of bravery to eat a whole lot of random disgusting or unpleasant things, and a lot of people started but by the time it got down to the onion round it was only 3 people. Before that it had been pretty quick and lighthearted, but when it got to be onion time everything just ground to a halt. These three men were just on stage sitting in their chairs with their half eaten onions, tears streaming freely down their faces, making raw vocalizations of misery or cursing or laughing or just sitting unhappily. Every so often, one of them would take another bite, and start forcing themselves to chew.
About a third of the way through the onion, one man threw the rest of his forcefully into the trash and walked off stage, shaking his head, not saying a word. The other two powered through to the next round.
I was pretty drunk and it was, yes, quite a long time ago, probably before most of Lemmy was born. I don’t remember much of the rest of it, but the marathon of agony that was the onion round was so unexpectedly vivid and serious that it seared itself into my memory.
If it was that long ago, maybe those onions were some old variety that were just terrible. The nasty old “crabapples” of the onion family tree.
I can’t think of a single modern onion I wouldn’t gladly chomp through if it came down to it.
have you though, in actuality? two thorough, swallowed chomps? they are not from god’s thumb, just any regular onion? try it.
Yeah. I wouldn’t want to eat a whole raw onion, but I could if I had to. I love raw onion on stuff like burgers and other sandwiches.
People like cinnamon too…
I wouldn’t want to eat raw cinnamon bark either, but I still probably could if I had to.
You think because you deal with slices and diced bits you can deal with the whole thing? Its like saying I can eat a whole cow because I can eat a steak.
A whole onion is a lot. Taking a few bites from one isn’t too bad (though unpleasant), but a whole one is just too much to swallow.
And I say this as someone who can eat oranges, lemons, limes, and even bananas with the peel
