Philip Quinn, 24, was found dead in his trailer home Sunday night by his parents. "Why on earth he was heating a lava lamp on the stove, we don't know," Kent Police spokesman Paul Petersen said Monday. After the lamp exploded, Quinn apparently stumbled into his bedroom, where he died Sunday afternoon, authorities said. Police found no evidence of drug or alcohol use. Damn..

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted December 1, 2004 He lives in a trailer. Those people have no knowledge of proper household appliance usage, let alone of something like a lava lamp.

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted December 1, 2004 Smash it open. This title is misleading. The lava lamp killed noone. A small piece of glass used to form the lamp's outer body combined with idiocy killed someone. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted December 1, 2004 Probably when someone living in a trailer learns to read and write competently enough to lodge a formal complaint. *has really nothing against trailer park boys or their noble pursuits for shelter, just enjoys taking cheap shots Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Shutterspeed Report post Posted December 1, 2004 Well, assuming that we're going right to court, they wouldn't be able to afford an educated lawyer anyway. *unless of course, they were to come into a large sum of money through illegal operations.

Guest The Satanic Angel Report post Posted December 2, 2004 One of my coworkers lives in a trailer and his wife is a raging alcoholic. She calls at work multiple times a day, usually claiming she's called the police on her husband. She shows up at work, at the back door, sometimes wearing clothes, and most of the time trying to take them off if she happens to be wearing anything. She destroys things, such as the trailer they live in, the car they own, any of his family members' cars ... Not to mention I live on the Eastern coast of Florida, and most of the trailers still in tact are either vacant or have large expanses of blue tarps over the roof ...

Just call me Dan 0 Report post Posted December 3, 2004 Hey, I'm not blind. I've seen the stereoypes most think of and associate with trailers, and I'm not trying to be all like, "Every trailer park is full of upstanding citizens who are just temporarily down on thier luck!", but when someone asks if you've got a friend that lives in a trailer and you respond with "Good lord No!" as if it deeply offends you that some trailer trash could possibly be considered a friend of yours, that bothers me.
