Sheesh, everyone knows stuff like this is only news when a politician or preacher does it.

I read about this story yesterday, I laughed. It only took this long for Quest to be caught? A rope, drugs, in a park after closing.....I always wondered what he was on.

So his name is Dick Quest, and he has a rope tied around is genitals.

Do the jokes write themselves with a name like that?

Now if Dick fell down a hill in that park, in the dark of night, what would have hung what?

more late night joke fodder

Yep, saw this sordid tale on DRUDGE a couple of days back.

Would anybody out there who has seen him on CNN ever have suspected ...

"a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals"

I don't understand this, thankfully.

I no longer regard as exageration the familiar "you owe me a new keyboard". Fortunately, I wasn't eating anything when I read this.

It's all very clear to me now! BWWWAHAHAHAAA!!!!

I just wanted to know if "sex toy in his boot" was referring to footwear or the british expression for the trunk of car (he asked in a metaphoric manner)

And will his name e'er be mentioned on CNN again?
Dickie, we hardly knew you...and know we know far too much.

Dick Quest?

Oh, brothah...

Dick Quest. Sounds like a gay video game.

From the NY post report: He was reportedly once offered a position for the English-language version of the controversial Al Jazeera network, but said he turned it down because being gay and Jewish, he didn't think it would be a good fit.

Well at least we know he is not totally insane.

I think the rope may have been some sort of a fettish. Rumours have it that he bought the rope at a garage sale, believing that it was indeed the rope that hanged Billy the Kid. So why did he have the rope around his genitils?? The guy is "nuts" isn't he?? As for the sex toy, it was just a "yoke."

PS: Sorry, I misspelled "genitals." I was thinking along the lines of "gentile."

His next story was an "in-deep", er, excuse me, in-depth "expose" about Richard "Tricky Dick" Nixon and his last visit to Fort Dix, New Jersey before his ultimate impeachment.

It is rumored that Tricky Dick forcibly enetered Fort Dix using the rear entrance and fired off several live rounds of an 88mm big gun and collapsed from exhaustion.

Doesn't that make your leg tingle?

Exact same thing I thought!
Don't even want to engage my normally curious nature on this one. Have a funny feeling that there's a big 'yuk' factor involved.

But, that is was a CNN reporter - not surprised at all.

I think Reuters' coverage of the same story presents an interesting contrast:

Great caption, Kate.

So what happens when he bends over to smell the flowers?

Can a come along fit in a boot?

Charges as laid out were not being vociferously pursued by the judiciary as it was deemed that this would have most likely resulted in a "hung verdick" by a jury of his peers.

"a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals"

No doubt he was born that way.

can't stop laughing.

Hahahahaha, Quest was very funny. But I knew he went bad when I saw that he had his very British teeth fixed. Was the rope knotted in a noose? It might be the perps who did the Colombia University noose-job are to blame for this testicle-lynching.

And 'boot' is british slang for rectum. Makes perfect sense now, doesn't it?

Put a rope around your neck, after tying it to your genitals; you'll stop laughing pretty quick.

He should have waited till a Gay parade to do this. He would have been applauded.
Of course this could be a slur on them.
It never stops to astound me the lengths people will go for a sexual thrill.
Gives a new meaning to soap on Rope.

I've watched the "ascent" of Richard Quest since his BBC time and his early days on CNN International.

Interesting guy; never minded his mannerisms.

Now it's confirmed: he really is an eccentric Englishman!

Pip! Pip! For the Empire!

Wonder how long he'll last at CNN now. They tend to like 'em multicultural and bland as hell over there.

Rope-a-dope.

If anyone should know which parks to troll for some rough trade and what hours are best, a travel reporter for CNN International should be at the top of the list.

thee greeting to the lad would be "How's it hangin Dick?"

"a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals"

Ewwwwuuuu!!! Don't touch that dude!

'"a rope around his neck that was tied to his genitals"I don't understand this, thankfully.'

Like Kate said, he was out walking his wiener dog...BWWAAAAAA!!!

Just begs for limricks, does it not?

Dick Q was a chap from north Austin,
Took a stroll that greatly did cost him.
He had a rope round his neck,
That was tied off to his 'peck'.
But he sneezed, and his pals, well he lost 'em.

There once was a chap out for fest,
Had no plans for eventual arrest.
But he was caught with a rope,
From his neck to his 'hope',
Killed his plan for a quick Dicky Quest.

"I don't understand this, thankfully."

(Jumping up and down and waving hand)
I know the answer to this one, I know... I know...!

It's a trigger lock.

Dick's Quest for journalistic erudition met a road-block when he had trouble differentiating hung from hanged. In order to "feel" the sheer euphoria of being there he attempted both at the same time!
