A Vermont lawmaker was compelled to apologize publicly after being caught on video pouring water into her colleague’s work bag multiple times across several months.
The bizarre behavior is allegedly a part of a campaign of harassment that one legislator aimed at another who represents the same district in the Green Mountain state, independent outlet Seven Days first reported.
The Republican representative, Mary Morrissey, 67, confessed to dumping water in the bag of the Democratic legislator Jim Carroll, 62. She later apologized during a Vermont state house session on Monday, Boston.com reported.
“I am truly ashamed of my actions,” Morrissey said.
Morrissey did not respond to the Guardian’s request for comment.
America elects some of the wierdest politicians.
Australian politicians sniff the chairs of their female colleagues, and eat raw onions like apples. All politicians are just disguised reptilian barely holding it together.
Holy god
I once witnessed a competition which involved people trying to eat an onion raw, like an apple, and it was unreal the level of pain and unhappiness they were all clearly experiencing.
Shit, where’s this competition?
Do they provide the onions, or do I need to use one from my belt?
It was a contest of bravery to eat a whole lot of random disgusting or unpleasant things, and a lot of people started but by the time it got down to the onion round it was only 3 people. Before that it had been pretty quick and lighthearted, but when it got to be onion time everything just ground to a halt. These three men were just on stage sitting in their chairs with their half eaten onions, tears streaming freely down their faces, making raw vocalizations of misery or cursing or laughing or just sitting unhappily. Every so often, one of them would take another bite, and start forcing themselves to chew.
About a third of the way through the onion, one man threw the rest of his forcefully into the trash and walked off stage, shaking his head, not saying a word. The other two powered through to the next round.
I was pretty drunk and it was, yes, quite a long time ago, probably before most of Lemmy was born. I don’t remember much of the rest of it, but the marathon of agony that was the onion round was so unexpectedly vivid and serious that it seared itself into my memory.
If it was that long ago, maybe those onions were some old variety that were just terrible. The nasty old “crabapples” of the onion family tree.
I can’t think of a single modern onion I wouldn’t gladly chomp through if it came down to it.
have you though, in actuality? two thorough, swallowed chomps? they are not from god’s thumb, just any regular onion? try it.
Yeah. I wouldn’t want to eat a whole raw onion, but I could if I had to. I love raw onion on stuff like burgers and other sandwiches.
People like cinnamon too…
I wouldn’t want to eat raw cinnamon bark either, but I still probably could if I had to.
You think because you deal with slices and diced bits you can deal with the whole thing? Its like saying I can eat a whole cow because I can eat a steak.
A whole onion is a lot. Taking a few bites from one isn’t too bad (though unpleasant), but a whole one is just too much to swallow.
And I say this as someone who can eat oranges, lemons, limes, and even bananas with the peel
They provide it because there aren’t enough white ones, on account of the war
Probably depends on the onion. Some varieties are not hot at all and kind of sweet. Still wouldn’t want to eat one like an apple, though.
Oh man a walla walla is totally doable, sweet and mild. Even a red onion, for me. I like to slice them and eat the rings as snacks, raw, plain. Sometimes with finely sliced purple cabbage on the side, which is a bit peppery.
I’m not a fan of standard white onions where the whole flavor is the chemical burn, but those are good for cooking. If you dip them in ranch they give wicked heartburn, but not so much the mouth burn. White onions are also the only ones that cause eye irritation for me, the others I don’t even notice anymore.
My dad used to eat them like apples. I never have, but I do eat them plain so I guess the onion didn’t fall far off the truck.
If you’re doing that you have to avoid the base of the onion.
It depends on the onion. Some are mild and some are definitely not.
I am no onionologist but I can confidently tell you that the people I saw were eating the “not” kind
I think one of my favourite comments at that time was that chowing down on a raw onion was an apt analogy for the Abbott government
Is… Is this weird? Asking for a friend

Just try to do good when you inevitably get elected, please.
My father’s mother could do that and we would all chant “do it do it”. Was so cool to watch.
I’m sorry, what??? Like who in the fuck is kneeling down in Parliament and sniffing women’s seats???
Here’s the first one I found. Maybe there’s more, who knows? https://www.abc.net.au/news/2008-04-29/emotional-buswell-admits-to-chair-sniffing-incident/2419558
Typical. :/
