The real Darwin Awards are available at the website of the
Annals of Improbable Research, where you can also learn about
such delicacies as Kopi Luwak (aka "this coffee tastes like
s**t).

I think you can still buy those air pressure driven constrictor tubes
for helping bead seat on moderate sized off road tires.

The ones with the old locking rings are more likely to just slice off
the slow parts of your body on their way thru the nearest wall.

Never had a problem with them... good idea to
tap the ring with the hammer while airing. Split
rings much better than the non-split ring 7.50-16.
Worst were the 'suicide' wheels, the 18"
split wheels found on old school buses.

Done the ether-match thing many times...
sometimes vegetable grease is all that
will get it, you pack pounds of it around
the rim, then recycle it back into the bucket
as the tubeless tire inflates. Don't forget to
put the wheel up on something so the
back bead is sitting tight!
