    Of all of the places to wander off and stick your hand in strange water you would have thought that an volcano site would be the last place to do it.

    It’s like all the people that claim over the safety barriers and fall over Niagara falls. What the hell are you doing?

      You don’t understand. I’m special. Those signs aren’t meant for me. They’re meant for the not special people. Now please take my picture as I pet this ornery looking buffalo. All my followers will love it.

      What the hell are you doing?

      “I am Shuper Man hicks noshing can hurt me!”

      The 49-year-old man is accused of “being under the influence of alcohol or drugs to the degree he was a danger to himself or others,” the U.S. Attorney’s Office for Wyoming said Thursday.

      At least he did not shove someone else into the hot water.

      They act like Yellowstone and other areas are just an extension of Disney World: the animals are tame and nothing bad will happen to you, otherwise why would they just let people in to wander around?

        I was just there a couple months ago and was chatting with a staff member. They were telling me stories of how people come up to them and ask them when do they turn on the geysers 😐
