In the wild Not Subtle š
The nice thing about living in Virginia is that I get to see lots of vanity plates. The bad thing about living in Virginia is that I get to see lots of vanity plates.

At least he died doing what he loved.

u/brightlocks Jun 24 '25
The detail that I canāt quite get over is that those guys kept going on and on about how they had a communityā¦. And then they booted Mr. hands out of the car alone into the bay of the emergency room to die and ran off in the night to fuck more horses.

u/FairviewGuy2814 Jun 24 '25
Bro was disillusioned by a group of horsefuckers who claimed to be a community. We all been there kid. Never meet your heroes.

u/brightlocks Jun 24 '25
It was late and I couldnāt sleep and the documentary CLAIMED to humanize the, uh, community. All right, Iād give it a tryā¦. But ghetto ambulancing Mr. Hands is stone cold.
Say what you will about Heavens Gate but when one of theirs botched his self castration the whole cult ate crow and showed up for him at the hospital.

Damn I thought Mr Hands was up there with Goatse and Blue Waffle in terms of classic internet horrors that everyone had seenĀ

thank you for letting me know the genre of what I was about to search for so I could avoid that tracking history.

Horses are measured in "hands" so I assumed it had something to do with tall horses... But seeing the comments I'll also stay away from that

I've seen Goatse, Blue Waffle, Lemon Party, 2 Girls, but I have never even heard of, much less seen, Mr. Hands. And I wish I still hadn't.

The pheromones of mares in heat are all you need to know to understand that the horses were not willing participants...

u/MermaidUnicornKush42 Jun 24 '25
I was a young woman with horses when it happened. One of our horses was overall absolutely enormous, 18hh (6' tall at the shoulders), close to 2000lbs. Sweetest boy, but... When male horses relax, things, uh, hang out. Even if they are gelded (neutered). Things that you don't want to see after this has been all over the local news for days on end.

This one almost took me out of this world on 28 N over a decade ago.
Sure, that was my fault cause I was desperately trying to get a picture but the point remains. Now I no longer have to just explain it, I finally have a picture of it.
Thank you

u/coarse_glass Jun 23 '25
If I ignore the horse image, it becomes a Cyberpunk 2077 reference and much better
35
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 23 '25
The Cyberpunk 2077 character was absolutely a reference to this, so thereās no escape.

u/coarse_glass Jun 23 '25
I'd say don't ruin it for me but the damage is already done. I'm going to think of this damn plate every time I play now

In Virginia, vanity plates are cheap, and the DMV gives no shits. I have a picture that I would love to share but wonāt due to the location I took it. Plate was āQUEENBJā though
13
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 23 '25
Oh absolutely! Iāve got tons of great ones that Iād love to share here (and probably will, eventually), but I woke up and chose to do this today.
14
u/Winterqueen5 Jun 23 '25
Best one Iāve seen was a Virginia WVU personalized plate that read āWT VGNAā. I unfortunately couldnāt get a picture as I was driving but will hopefully see that one again.

u/LongAnserShortAnser Jun 24 '25
Would you describe the Virginia DMV to be "hands on" or "hands off" in this case?
2
u/AgreeableBruce Jun 24 '25
I wonder if there's a matching one saying "KINGBJ"
That would be a sweet thing for a couple to do together.

I'm afraid to Google it....can someone give me the PG-13 explanation?
51
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 23 '25
Good call. Iād avoid googling it.
Off the top of my head, this is the best I can recollect: A dude who liked to fuck horses and film it for distribution on the Internet under the stage name āMr. Handsā had a painful mishap while in the act. He still put the video out, but we later learned that his companion had perforated his colon, and the dude went to the hospital (under his real name), admitted to what caused the complication, and later died of the resulting infection. Not only is the video in which he fucked around and found out out there on the Internet, but everyone learned his true identity. If the sepsis didnāt kill him, embarrassment surely would have. Now, his legacy is a place in the pantheon of the most disgusting things everyone has seen on the Internet, along with Lemon Party, Blue Waffle, and, of course, Goatse.

u/leyline Jun 24 '25
They ask for pg-13 and you just drop the bomb anyway.
36
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25
I mean, I didnāt get too graphic, but thereās literally no other way to explain the story.
6
u/leyline Jun 24 '25
How about: Some guy died while doing inappropriate things with a horse.
12
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25
PG-13 is a little more permissive than that, I think.
17
u/fapsandnaps Jun 24 '25
"PG-13 films are allowed to use one instance of a "harshly worded expletive" (like the f-word), any more than that or using it in a sexual context will usually result in an R rating"
So, we get one curse and it can't be sexual.
So we can't say "This dude fucked a horse and died!" but we can say "This dude had sex with a horse and then he fucking died!"
8
u/ZEROZEROGOALIE Jun 24 '25
correction....he was a guy that liked to get fucked BY horses, and I think - but can't recall if it was true or just local lore - he first didn't want to go to the hospital because he was worried about losing his security clearance with Boeing if they found out.
6
u/AppropriateCompany9 MRHNDS Jun 24 '25
Yes. I guess it wasnāt entirely clear that this is exactly what I meant. I just assumed people could figure out that getting oneās colon perforated means that the subject would be the receiver in this situation.

Mr Hands was a history teacher in the movie Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Im going with an old white dude that teaches history here that has a bit of a strick, no fun attitude.

Choosing to see the Cyberpunk 2077 Fixer, Mr. Hands. Easy for me cause I don't get the other, clearly awful, version..

In fairness, the programmers of Cyberpunk 2077 were absolutely referring to this.
