Afternoon Oddball:

There are some instances where it's best to just swallow your pride! A man in northern California got trapped on an island for five days, but refused to use his cell phone to call for help! Instead Brian "Goat Man" Hopper spent his days on Roe Island trying to repair his raft and nibbling on vitamins and native plants to survive. He even fashioned a crude SOS sign, rather than dialing a simple call to 911. Why? 'Cause he was embarrassed. "I didn't want to spend the taxpayers' money to have the Coast Guard come rescue some stupid guy," Hopper, 54, said. So instead he made himself look even more stupid. Eventually Hopper called a friend, who in turn notified the Coast Guard. Hopper said his trip down the Sacramento River was meant to be a campaign to bring attention to social diseases. He was traveling with camping supplies, two burritos, a bag of vitamins, a Bible and a mannequin of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger. Ya know, the essentials.
