I'll be loudly accusing a cop of groping me.

And with our powers combined!

Update: It was nice. It claimed to be spicy noodles but in fact it was rather mild, but did taste good. The leftovers will accompany my succulent half-Chinese dinner.

Really interesting article about him, thanks for sharing. Apparently he was an actor, painter, and three-time prison escapee with multiple aliases.

The Guardian article mentions some more stuff about his past:

[Filmmaker Heath Davis] and authors including Mark Dapin had already uncovered stories of Karlson’s prison escapes that are said to include picking the lock cuffing him to a sleeping officer and leaping from a moving train and swimming off a prison island before being rescued by a benevolent fisher.

[...]

“He was some sort of trained actor, he learned that in prison, but he was also a natural showman,” Watt said. “He bluffed his way out of a court in Sydney, said he was a detective, and to do that he must have been a very confident showman … and a bit of a conman as well”.

St Peter's waiting to receive his limp penis.

I forgot that was an emoji

That video was even funnier when people found out the story behind him. A very eloquent old man's genuine reaction to getting arrested on false charges.

[-] booty@hexbear.net 21 points 2 months ago

Wait he didn't even do the crime? I didn't think this could be any funnier

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 25 points 2 months ago

He apparently fit the description of someone wanted for felony fraud + dine and dashing (truly, one of the rap sheets of all time)

Which is why so many popo were sent to arrest this one middle aged thespian.

No it's way funnier. He did do the crime. Dining and dashing.

It's just he was mistaken for a international criminal from Hungary wanted for credit card fraud, who also had a habit on the side of dining and dashing as well (just for kicks I guess).

So the Queensland police got tipped off by Interpol that this Hungarian guy might be around doing credit card fraud, but he might be dining and dashing.

So when they got reports of a guy serially dining and dashing, they launched this huge operation to catch him. But he was just a random Australian guy.

Comedy sketch writers wish they could've written this.

[-] Aradina@lemmy.ml 15 points 2 months ago

He was also a smidge wine drunk

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

He had been imbibing some of the juice of the red grape.

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 24 points 2 months ago

I actually gasped reading the post title,RIP to a king

He did a couple interviews last year that mentioned he had cancer so I guess it was only a matter of time.

[-] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

damn. I had a succulent Chinese meal tonight. Sorry. Might’ve been my fault sadness

[-] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

it wasnt, any sufficiently Succulent Chinese Meal upholds his legacy of wordsmithery and unshakable opposition to police overreach

“He said to me that I was the only copper he never hated,” Watt said. “He called me ‘comrade’ and he said ‘come up and spend the night with me and we’ll have a few’, he calls it, ‘the juice of the red grapes’.”

Technically it was shaken once, by the man who arrested him. Kinda cute tbh

[-] Robert_Kennedy_Jr@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago

I'm pretty sure it was the prostate cancer that got him.

[-] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 16 points 2 months ago

Guy was an absolute legend. They don't make 'em like they used to.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 15 points 2 months ago

I owe my dating profile bio to this hero, back when Tinder was a thing.

(It was "Not just a snacc, but a succulent Chinese meal")

[-] milk_thief@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

I watched the video for the first time (too young and not native speaker) and I burst out laughing, holy shit how does he do it

Cool song too, my Australian friend says they're super bogans but I'm digging it.

They put on the act of being bogan, but they're actually private school boys or something like that.

Their music is good though, undeniably.
