I know, you're thinking  ! But let me explain.
I'm sure many of you know the common schoolyard move where a two-person team knocks one person over. The team splits into two parts: the kneeler and the pusher. The kneeler kneels behind the victim, with their back about level with the victim's knees, and then the pusher knocks the victim over the kneeler.
This is not to be performed on any hard surfaces that could lead to broken bones or fractured skulls!
Anyhow...years ago Macaulay Culkin came into the Mercury Lounge and my girlfriend's brother and his hooligan friends wanted to do it to him. They didn't succeed but that night decided from now on they'd call the move the Culkin.
We Culkin each other all the time. It's fun among our extended circle of friends, and it's something you can look forward to witnessing at least once a week, most likely twice or thrice. I've been Culkined many times, and been the victim of many Culkins in turn.
So Monday night we were at the Modest Mouse show when we notice Kieran Culkin (of Igby Goes Down) standing right near us. My friend Adam is leaving to move to Texas next week and he'd been itching to be part of a grand Culkin so he could go out with a bang. Well, here was a chance for the grandest Culkin yet performed.
Adam went over to Kieran, and actually explained the entire thing to him. Told him about the Culkin, how it was named after Macaulay, Kieran was laughing, all fun in games. When Adam came back he was grinning and said he knew he had to do it..he even told Kieran Culkin's friend he was going to do it and the friend laughed, didn't say go for it, but didn't say don't do it either.
So the encore came..and Modest Mouse played their last song...and my girlfriend knelt down behind Kieran Culkin (we're on soft astroturf in Central Park's Summerstage here) and Adam went over to talk to him...and gave him a solid push.
Boy did Kieran Culkin fly. He lifted up, went backwards, and then dropped, landing on his ass and the heels of his palms and his elbows...his legs were still over Lucy (my girlfriend), and he just pushed himself right up and ran at Adam, grabbing him by the shirt and exclaiming "You fucking asshole! We're just watching the show having a good time, what the fuck is your problem?"
Adam responds by laughing hysterically and saying, "You don't understand!! I had to do it! There was no way that I could leave without doing it!"
Culkin responded in turn by grabbing his friend's beer, throwing it in Adam's face, and then spitting in his face. Then him and his friends left.
And we Culkined a Culkin.
Now I know you're not supposed to knock down random people...but...

Yes! We've gotten mixed reactions...most people who don't understand how big a part of our lives the Culkin is don't understand the immensity of this event...they even wrote up a joke press release. My girlfriend got calls from friends across the country congratulating her and calling her a hero...
And she walked by Kieran Culkin at the Tom Petty concert on Tuesday and he didn't even notice her!

The only thing that burns in Hell is the part of you that won't let go of life, your memories, your attachments. They burn them all away. But they're not punishing you, they're freeing your soul. So, if you're frightened of dying and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away, but if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the earth...

that's awesome.
I can understand him being really pissed off though, he was probably mortified.
I think if someone did that to me, who I didn't know all that well, even with a proper explanation, I would probably throw beer as well.
edit: you should totally sell this story to like the Enquirer or something. I bet they'd love an account of a culkin charging someone for pulling a prank on him

The only reason our friend didn't take a picture (she was ready to) is because she realized that could start some REAL trouble if he thought we were gonna sell the pics or something. So we had to forsake proof for getting away scot-free.
I just think he's a bitch for spitting in my friend's face.

You give a minor/major injury to someone pullin' that Culkin shite, that'd be fucked.
Keeping the Culkin to your circle of freinds that are into it is cool, but not random people.
Nonetheless pulling a Culkin on a Culkin, that truly is classic.

Rarely does a complete stranger fall victim to the Culkin. That usually only happens if they've been drinking around us and we've somewhat been hanging out with them and it's collectively decided they wouldn't freak out.
Someone once broke their leg involved in a culkin - but they were neither the pusher, the victim, nor the kneeler. The victim didn't completely fall and this guy Kyle stuck his leg out to knock them over and ended up getting his ankle twisted so bad he was on crutches for months.

That shit reminds me of middle school when my friends and I used to pull this thing on each other called getting buttfucked by a rhino(gay I know) or some shit you would just randomly knee each other in the ass as hard as you could and it would usually break the persons tail bone making it hurt to sit down for the next couple weeks or months. Well one day this kid did it too me that I wasn't such great friends with and it was totally unexpected needless to say I commenced to pulling the fire extinguisher off the wall and cracked him in the head with it. He got alot of stitched over his eye and we both got suspended. I wouldn't have done it thinking back but I was so enraged at the time that I didn't even think I just did it. I feel bad about it now. But we later made good and are now cool about it.
