Youth steals dead man's head...for use as a bong

[The Unkempt One]

Story here

Surely there are easier, much less creepy things out of which bongs can be made.

Seriously...a dead man's head? Wouldn't that be a little difficult to turn into a bong? I would imagine that all sorts of cleaning, drilling, buffing, etc would be required before you could smoke out of the head of a deceased person.

But, what do I know? I have never attempted to make any sort of smoking device out of any part of a dead person.

Oh, and I would be pissed about this if I was this man's widow!

[Finagle]

Back in the day, if you wanted a bong, you could just go to a head shop.

[Hypno-Toad]

He wanted to get stoned out his head.

[Madd Maxx]

Bring a whole new meaning to the term Pothead.

[OtakuLoki]

Can I say that it's particularly effed up that the kid is facing 25 years for doing this, while routinely many murderers face less than that.

I'm not trying to say that the kid shouldn't be punished, if he's found to be of sound mind, that is. Just it seems a bit odd that a vehicular manslaughter conviction should be less time than what this kid is facing for defacing (sic) a dead body.

Brother stole a coconut; he stole it for a time.
His sister had another one, she got it for her dime.

She put the dime in his coconut; she smoke 'em both up ...



I say... Doctor?

Well, one thing's for sure about a kid with a felony conviciton:


[austin powers]
He'll never be the head of a major corporation.

[Cervaise]

You put the bong in the coconut...

[Cervaise]

Crap, I had the window open too long and lieu beat me to it.

[silenus]

In Russia, bong smokes you!

Not really. It should be pretty easy and doable in about 15 minutes. But I won't say how, since I'd probably be (rightfully) mod-slapped for it.

But - eeeeew! Nasty!

[Happy Scrappy Hero Pup]

Isn't the mark of a true pothead the ability to smoke out of anything?

[Regallag_The_Axe]

All bad puns aside, I must say that it would make the creepiest bong ever.

[PussyCow]

Ah, but what would be cool is using a live man's head for a bong.

I wonder... the brain might make a good filter.

[Daithi Lacha]

Uh... Which hole would be the carb?

[Plynck]

Didn't I hear somewhere that kids put formaldehyde in joints for a higher high?

Maybe this is what it was all about.

Pretty sick, but I would think psychiatric care rather than prison. This kid has serial killer written all over him.

best to all

That was my first thought, too. This sounds like a Jeffrey Dahmer in the making.

Usually, yes. But the motivation shown here is much too high for the average, run-of-the-mill stoner. Most will use whatever happens to be at hand--tin foil, soda cans, a 2-liter bottle and the bathtub ...

This kid is definitely exceptional, because nobody I know would ever have expended that much energy when you can make a decent steamroller out of a Pringles can--and have the chips, too.

Heh, hey, hey, h'GUYS! I made a BONG... outta my HEAD!
[/Denis leary]

Could this be a misunderstanding of the phrase "deadhead"?

[Ethilrist]

I think he was going for a triple-word score on the Purity Test.

[Little Nemo]

I think I saw this once in a Burke & Chong movie.

[photopat]

1st stoned guy: Hey! Hey! Remember that bit in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, where whatsisname, Spicoli gets stoned and bangs on his head and says "that's my skull, I'm so wasted?"

2nd stoned guy:.....................................yeah?

1st sg: I've got an even better idea for a skull. We need to go to the cemetery.

2nd sg: Oh, okay...................hey, do you think a skull would make a good bong?

1st sg: Oh dude, that was my idea!

2nd sg: Whoa. Cool. Hey, great minds, right?

1st sg: Yeah. Let's get some doughnuts on the way.

2nd sg: Oh wow, could you make a bond out of a doughnut? Cause, cause, then, after you smoked it...

1st sg: You could eat it! Yeah!

2nd sg: Oh man, you'd eat a doughnut and get high at the same time...............which'd work better though, a regular doughnut or a jelly filled?

1st sg: I think a cruller.

2nd sg: Yeah.

1st sg: Where were we going again?

[Yamirskoonir]

Perhaps he was trying to pull a modern-day Lord Byron?

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. Thanks for the laugh!

[Etherman]

This is your brain.

This is your brain as a bong.

Any questions?

Yeah, but he used drugs!

I agree with you completely.

It is true that kids will use formaldehyde in joints, but most times the formaldehyde is used to cut PCP into a liquid form that can be mixed with the weed or any other type of tobacco or mint leaves.

I am not sure how it would work if it was formaldehyde that had been in a body for three years.

I do think that he would benefit from some good therapy. I don't know if 25 years in prison will help him, or just make him more angry or deranged. He will need to do more than sit in a cell. He is only 17-years-old. There has got to be some reason for what he did.

My biggest question is why he picked this guy. I was thinking there may be some reason that he wanted to use his head. Maybe he had turned him in at one time or something. It just seems that it is wierd that he chose this man. I would like to know more of the story.

In the 1990s, Adam Corolla (?) played 'Mr. Bircham the Shop Teacher' on KROQ. Part of his schtick was that he'd get all worked up and exclaim, 'Back in 'Nam, I had to smoke hash out of a human skull! And I don't even like hash!'

[Annie-Xmas]

If he beats the charges, maybe he could become a Shakespearian actor:

Alas, poor Yorick. I knew him, Horatio.

Careful -- you're showing your age. (Yes, I remember them, too.)

[Guinastasia]

I'm guessing the 25 years has to do with the fact that he's got seven priors:

Lamoille County State's Attorney Joel Page said Buckalew's lengthy "rap sheet" led him to seek the high bail. The 17-year-old has seven convictions on his record and was on furlough from custody at the time of the alleged theft. Page also said Buckalew tried to commit suicide while he was in police custody.

Seven CONVICTIONS, on his record, mind you-not seven arrests. At age 17.

He has seven priors, but I am guessing these were while he was a minor. In which case, that may be the reason that he is being charged as an adult, along with the seriousness of the crime. It should not go into the sentencing. He is still a minor and depending on what the convictions are will make a difference in how admissable they are in court.
