Not sure why, but my nipples are like diamond cutters right now.

The screams in the background make that work.  I have a hard time believing that's real though.  I got a train goes right near my house, it's loud as hell.  No way she wouldn't have heard that coming, since she doesn't appear to be wearing an iPod or somesuch.  Hilarious none the less.

four years ago two of my brothers best friends got hit and killed by a freight train....they were drunk but had no personal listening devices on...and while no one can say for sure it wasnt suicide it was deemed an accident by the police and everyone and everyone who knew either of them said it wasnt

reason i bring this up is that i dont understand either how anyone could ever get hit by a train (much less a slow moving freight) but it happens

The thing I noticed about that clip is that it wasn't a freighter. We have freighter lines that run about a mile from here, maybe a little less than that, and I can hear them when I am out back.

But that looked like one of those SEPTA regional rail things. Those things haul ass and aren't as loud as the diesel freighters.

Everytime I hear about someone getting hit by one I always think about the movie Stand By Me.

i grew up on a farm and we would always grab the electro fence when we were kids.  we'd see how long we could hold on. ha. good times.

I have to get tasered soon.

We didn't use the tasers in Texas so I never had to feel it. I have been tear gassed and pepper sprayed though. That blows.

But getting shocked? We have to get the shock shield AND get shot with the little taser gun that digs into your skin.

Fun times. I hope i don't piss myself.

I hope i don't piss myself.

I speak nation, and probably all your co-workers, when I say: we hope you do piss yourself.  Bring extra clothes.

And we all expect a full play-by-play, including the pissing yourself, once your hands get steady enough to type.

Tournament honors man killed defending his wife

By SARAH LARSON
The Intelligencer

As a deranged neighbor stabbed Sue Sofield repeatedly with a kitchen knife, her husband's only thought was to protect her.

Doug Sofield rushed toward the foyer of their home in Upper Darby in Delaware County and threw himself between his wife and her attacker.

When it was over, both Sue and Doug were bleeding from numerous stab wounds.

Doug Sofield died that night, Saturday, July 23, 2005.

This weekend, people will come together for a softball tournament in his memory. Proceeds from the event will be used to start a scholarship fund for high school seniors who have been affected by violence.

"I'm hoping that the legacy of what we're trying to do here will do justice as a living memorial to his generosity," said Doug's brother, Roger Sofield. "I just hope to bring a little bit of hope and sunshine and let them know the sun will rise again."

Roger and his wife, Michelle, live in Franconia. Their daughter, Hannah, plays softball for the Souderton Storm. The group's head coach, David Scott, hatched the idea for the tournament last year.

Held just weeks after Doug Sofield was killed, the tournament raised more than $6,000. The money went into an education fund for Doug's daughters, Leah and Christine, who will be a senior and a sophomore, respectively, at Upper Darby High School.

From now on, proceeds will go to the scholarship fund to help teenagers who have been affected by violence.

"We just think that's a fitting tribute to Doug and his incredible generosity," said Michelle Sofield.

In lieu of flowers, Sue Sofield asked for memorial contributions in Doug's name to go to Doctors Without Borders, just one of many charities they supported.

A co-worker at Unisource, where Doug was the senior manager for information technology, remembered that he would hand her $100 each holiday season for the company's program to buy presents for disadvantaged kids.

He always seemed to be moving at 70 miles an hour, while the rest of the world was stuck at 55, remembered another co-worker, Glenn Cunningham.

"I always knew when Doug was in or out on a given day," Cunningham wrote on an online memorial site. "Life, the atmosphere, something changed when he was present."

Doug Sofield was 42 when he died on that Saturday night.

Around 9 p.m., Sue was confronted by a neighbor's son, 29-year-old Michael Rafferty, who rang the door bell, then let himself in. Sue told police later that he said, "Everybody in this house is going to die tonight," as he reached for her.

She was stabbed four times. Miraculously, said Roger, each knife thrust was stopped by her collarbone, preventing serious damage to her vital organs.

Hearing the struggle near the front door, Doug Sofield rushed to his wife's defense. Sue was then able to run to a neighbor's house to alert the police.

An autopsy later showed that Rafferty stabbed Doug 15 times, Roger said.

The police arrived, and spotted Rafferty running across the lane, back into his parents' house. They followed him, and found his parents — Thomas Rafferty, 67, and Rita Rafferty, 55 — had been stabbed several times and were already dead.

According to the Delaware County Times, police tracked him down on a nearby street and it took several officers to subdue him.

Back at the Sofields, police found a bleeding Sue cradling her dying husband. Police credited Doug Sofield with saving his wife's life, and Sue Sofield with ending Michael Rafferty's killing spree.

It was later learned that Rafferty was mentally ill and had an abnormal fixation on his younger sister. Roger said it was speculated that Rafferty went to the Sofields' looking for her, since the Sofields' daughters knew her.

The truth of why Rafferty crossed the street that night will never be known. He died Aug. 18, from head and neck injuries incurred when he jumped from his prison bunk into a wall.

Today, the entire Sofield family is changed.

Sue and her girls still live in the family home, struggling each day with their memories. Michelle never answers her front door without a slight hesitation.

This weekend, though, they will all be together, on the softball fields in Souderton and North Penn, remembering the man whose smile lit up a room, and the words his mother, Carolyn, spoke at his funeral: "He was born early, and rushed through life, almost as if he knew he didn't have as much time as the rest of us."
