Welcome to a new series on Infomaniac entitled Plonker of the Day in which we examine the ineptitudes of careless criminals.
THE PLONKER: Gibson Cook, 57.
THE PLACE: Dillon, South Carolina, U.S.A.
THE PREDICAMENT: Cook was trapped for 12 hours beneath a giant trash bin at a landfill after he climbed underneath in a bid to steal about $10 worth of copper.
When workers found him, all they saw were his legs sticking out from beneath the bin.
THE PUNISHMENT: Cook has been charged with trespassing and petty larceny.
He’s been jailed and is currently awaiting a bond hearing although it's unclear if he has an attorney.
Say, wait a minute. Doesn’t that photo of Cook remind you of our very own IVD?...

Was IDV looking for copper? I hope Cook didn't have a full bladder while trapped under the bin.
ReplyDeleteEROS: IVD is probably looking for A copper.
ReplyDeleteYou know how he loves a man in uniform.
Geez, and I thought MY legs were skinny.... suitable match for the green elf shorts though.
ReplyDeleteHow the hell did he get under there in the first place? 12 hours trapped under something like that is giving me the shivers.
ReplyDeleteI hate confined spaces, that would have been my ultimate nightmare.
PONYGIRL: An inexperienced rider could snap IVD’s scrawny legs like twigs.
ReplyDeleteOne must exercise caution mounting him.
Why have you turned away from us?
Are his spindly legs too much for you?
BOLLIX: *makes note of Bollix’ biggest fear, sits back and makes plans*
Damn. I wish I'd been wearing jeans. too.
ReplyDeleteIVD's legs are luminous . Is that how he attracts the sailors in the gloom of the docks
ReplyDeleteIs that a lavatory cubicle door that IVD is attempting to limbo dance under?
ReplyDeleteYou can arrested for that sort of thing.

ReplyDeleteThey should have taken off his trainers and socks and whipped the soles of his feet with an old car aerial!
ReplyDeleteand the criminal as well
(An Old Polish Saying) "One Door Shuts, while another falls on top of you!"
ReplyDeleteTHE WICKED WITCH IS DEAD! oh sorry, wrong movie...:)
ReplyDeleteIt could have been worse for Cook, and IVD, if there had been pit bull guard dogs on the loose.
ReplyDeleteIVD: You wish you’d been wearing jeans?
ReplyDeleteSo do we.
BEAST: His bare buttocks act as a beacon.
GARFY: Building a glory hole would have been so much easier.
CRUMP: The chav in question must be Gibson Cook’s British cousin.
FROBI: Whipping the soles of his feet with an old car aerial?
IVD charges extra for that.
TONY: "If your socks are not in your shoes, don't look for them in Heaven."
DAISY: He’s melting!
XL: Right you are as I’ve yet to meet a vegetarian pit bull.
Plonker... I love that word.
ReplyDeleteAs we can see from the picture, the weight of guilt preys heavily on the villain's mind.
ReplyDeleteCATSCRATCH: Plonker, wanker, tosser…
ReplyDeleteBritish slang is superior to ours.
ISTVANSKI: It’s crushing.
Their legs do look alike although Cooks not wearing bowling shoes.
ReplyDeletehopefully he could reach his smokes!!!
ReplyDeleteCYBERPOOF: Does IVD actually bowl or is it that he just likes the shoes?
ReplyDeleteI know he's skillful with balls.
VOICES: IVD always has a fag or seven within easy reach.
I hope he has a bowling alley in his backyard because there is really no other excuse for wearing those shoes.
ReplyDeleteI no understandit? What plonker kinda object unamed?
ReplyDeletewould it be better than to be face up or face down?
ReplyDeleteCYBERPOOF: I would have to say that IVD is more likely to be found in a back alley than a bowling alley.
ReplyDeleteMS.DONG: Welcome to Infomaniac!
I recognize you from all the Animal Man blogs…
The Dog Man, Mr. Mutley; The Rat Man, Mr. Frobisher; and The Beast Man, Mr. Beast.
To visit Infomaniac is not to understand it.
It is enough to enjoy the pictures and the company of my amazing (though often annoying) bitches.
Would you like to become one of Mistress MJ’s bitches, Ms. Dong?
VOICES: Better to be face up or face down?
IVD is not fussy.
True that.
ReplyDeleteI think thats you in the shorts...
ReplyDeleteThe wicked witch of the west scouting for a new place to crash!
ReplyDeleteMutley: Here is proof that it’s IVD in the Elf Shorts.
ReplyDeleteMAXI: He’s not in Kansas anymore.

IVD: *ignores IVD's comment but laughs again at his spindly luminous legs*
ReplyDeleteROBYN: Don't do the crime, if you can't do the time.
