Commemorating That Drunken Rage

The stool gave way before the turkey was even at the table and, luckily, the drywall took more of a beating than the boy’s cranium. Rather than attempt to fix the wall (or hang a real picture at an ungainly two feet off the floor) I decided to memorialize moment!”
that is some breakthrough art.
I want to know the story
title: “punch drunk” fist on dry wall. 4×6.
Aww looks like a yellow heart <3
Cannot be stolen so easily…
Yo There I Fixed It! I’m really happy for you and imma let you finish, but Keith Moon did the original (and better) “framed bottle stuck in the wall”.
Oh come on people – it’s a doorknob hole! No one’s first is that round! Geez…
It’s not a wallpunch, it’s where his bed used to be. He decorated it so that the special moments will not be forgotten.
2005, the year he: 1. quit drinking, 2. found god, and/or 3. left.
Musta been one helluva Thanksgiving back in 05.
The frame says 2005 on it, I wonder what the other years are like it……
Only Chuck Norris can punch a piece of glass so hard it’s framed and commemorated.

Actually, the real way you can tell is because it’s not coated in blood.
It’s a forgery. A very good one, but a forgery nonetheless.
Agreed.

“That was the hole we made with the doorknob on our wedding night…”
Bubba I think the landlord will still notice… Need duct tape
I TRULY BELIEVE IN THE FORGERY IDEA!!!!!!!!!!!
Not even Hellboy?
@Captain Oblivious
Maybe it was punched by a cartoon.
it doesnt matter if it was a punch or a door nob only a genius could fix it like that
I’ll start the bidding at 15,000$. Ooops this is’nt E-Bay. Sorry
Uh..this isn’t about the picture, but the site motto is wrong isn’t it? isn’t it supposed to be “jerry rigged” instead of “jury rigged”? What does a jury have to do with anything? Is it a joke and I’m really that dense? It jerry rigged racist or something?
The embarrassing thing is they hung it upside down!
Reminds me of the champagne bottle Keith Moon threw at his wife – it missed and got stuck in the wall, so he framed it: http://www.electroasylum.com/muses/moonie1.JPG
Angry michellin man at thanksgiving threw door into wall….
frame fell off the wall and was hung over the now gaping doorknob hole…
CSI eat ur heart out!
Silly people, that’s not a damaged wall at all but rather a clever, ultra realistic painting the man did of his wall.
Where the college diploma was supposed to be….
oh god! ive been framed!!!
Does anyone else think this is off-topic? It’s a joke, but it isn’t anything done to fix something purposely.
Its from a doorknob swinging out too far, and with too much force. Perhaps the picture once covered it, then (predictably) the door swung too far again and… now it is just a frame…
Found you!@waldo
I don’t even see the prob… oh… I get it. The frame is wonky.
@Confused
I’m pretty sure they did a vote here to settle that very issue. Some people say jerry, some jury. It’s a regional thing. Like kitty-corner vs catty-corner (or diagonal, if you wanna be a stickler about it)
That’s a cranium hole?! Impressive.
Chucked a bottle of Jack in a fit of rage?
@Confused
i always thought it was a shot at the Germans, “jerry” a lot of the allies called the germans, jerrys during WWII
I have one of these at home! A dummy-spitting guy punched a dent in my hallway door so I framed it with the title “Man of the Year Award 2008″ I even added a little picture of a prize winning trophy cup too
@Confused
As you can imagine people have been through this here many times
‘Jury rigged’ is a nautical term (the jury rig being a temporary or makeshift mast for when the main one is damaged) and has nothing to do with a jury in the legal sense. ‘Jerry rigged’ has no historical basis but is believed to have come from a combination of ‘jury rigged’ and ‘jerry built’, the last of which is also an older term having nothing to do with German soldiers.
The two are often used interchangably but I think technically ‘jerry built’ should only be used for new constructions that are unsound rather than temporary or haphazard fixes to existing ones.
@Ellyn v
Brilliant idea Ellyn!
But, the crooked frame is bothering me . . .
My parents have (or had last time I saw) a dent in the wall that they didn’t really feel like fixing.
It was made by my youngest sibling, he took the stairs too fast in a moment of boyish exuberance and left a dent on the wall of the landing. After he took his own life, somehow removing that reminder of a day when he was happier and so full of life seemed more difficult than a simple “fix that dented wall.”
haha hey! cheap way of having wall decorations.. wonder how many times it will take before we get 2 the same…
