A partygoer has gone viral after getting stuck in a giant vase – and it’s an emotional rollercoaster
A man has gone wildly viral after getting stuck in a vase – an enormous vase, but nevertheless …a vase! A thread by @CasualThursday followed the story as it developed.
We have a man stuck in a decorative urn at this Mountain Brook house party. I repeat, we have a drunk man stuck in a large decorative urn at this Mountain Brook house party. Details as they develop.

Architecture graduate Connor Padgett got into the vase at a party in Mountain Brook, Alabama – as you do – then swiftly discovered it was a very different matter getting out again.
He was laughing at first but now he’s starting to get upset. The women are trying to comfort him. There is talk of attempting to break the urn.

The host has dispatched a friend to retrieve his sledge hammer.

My view is obscured by the gathering crowd but I can hear the tinkering of a hammer and makeshift screwdriver chisel, mixed with the frustrated, panicked grunts of the captive.

There’s a cracking sound and the crowd cheers. He is free! The urn has been shattered and our hero emerges unscathed. Our long national nightmare is over.

Big vases, it turns out, are not cheap.
People are now discussing the cost of the shattered urn. I’m hearing prices ranging from $500 to as high as $3000 US American dollars.

Perhaps the owner will offset the price of a pair of trousers.
Urn guy is up and moving around, but now without his pants, which were apparently lost or damaged in the incident. (Everyone seems fine with this) He wants a cigarette.

We weren’t surprised to learn that Connor needed a stiff drink after his ordeal.
He wanted a double makers on the rocks. I gave it to him and now he’s drinking alone and having a cigarette, still pantsless in the corner of the yard.

The thread wasn’t the only way people learnt of the failed stunt. There was also video evidence …and it’s every bit as dramatic as you’d expect.

I love the fact that is how many across the globe were introduced to Mountain Brook, Alabama.
“All those men are wearing sport coats with jeans.”
That’s just the tip of the iceberg, Sven. https://t.co/mJCHhXCed7

My mind woulda been blown if they break the urn only to find out he was half a man the whole time. https://t.co/uBZfyaiO2x

A final word of advice from Casual Thursday.
Looks like a friend is trying to usher him into an Uber. Happy New Year everyone. Stay safe out there. Remember, decorative urns always look bigger from the outside.
