Have you ever been so pissed off...

that you started swinging a cactus?



A high school friend had an Arizona expresssion: Cactusize.

He would mellowly say: "Cactusize man! Acquire some Cactus like properties!". He do this while holding his arms up, to look like a Saguaro Cactus.

could it be that he is trying to put the fire out by cactus beating it, or is he getting ready to lay that cactusized meal on the flame broiler?

That guy is an A1 badass if he's swinging that cactus like that. Chuck Norris couldn't handle that kind of pain...

That shot is from a scene in Neill Blomkamp's new film, "District 10" scheduled for release next summer.

I believe he is trying to squeeze the water out of the cactus to put out the fire.

We now carry cacti on our pumpers in lieu of fire extinguishers...

dunno, it kinda makes sense, if you are REALLY pissed, and you got one of those laying around... Why not start swinging with the darn thing, it does get the point across real good
