Had he cut off his leg, would anyone in prison want to hump the stump? I think the default is to pump the rump, but if the stump makes a bump for your lump I think you’d jump the gump and dump your sump in the stump.

(Oh, and if his son is imprisoned later in life he’s gonna get skullfucked.)

First thing I think of when I read these stories of gonzo hyperviolence is [PCP](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phencyclidine).Legend has it the dust gives one the strength of a lion and the common sense of a starved crocodile.

Any bets on it being the Devil’s fault, or maybe one of his minions?

Yeah, it’ll probably be a minion… Old Nick would have had his ears too.

I’m really amazed that you guys can joke about this.

Everyone knows it’s funny _until_ someone loses an eye.

“Son, better stop playing with that BB gun or I’ll eat your eyes out.”

Great potential there for a heartwarming Xmas movie.

Nitpick: the cornea will be hard and chewy. The lens ought to be pretty brittle.

Say you have a kid and your kid happens to have something like this happen to him. Me being your neighbor the only prudent thing to do would be to joke about it on my facebook, well that or rip my hair out and bake under the desert sun etc.

Get over yourself. This is about as relevant to me as the rape of lot’s daughter or the fate of the congolese when the belgians arrived.

Yeah, that’s what I was going for- I knew there was a chewy part and a hard part, just got them confused. But yeah- the lens would be brittle.

Anatomy/Physiology, and 3 years of assisting/TA’ing with College Introduction to Biology 201 Labs basically. We pretty much go week by week through the different phylums and have dissections and such things. The Cow eye dissections are at the end of the semester, when we get to the fetal pig dissection wrap ups.

Oh, and then my post graduate Anatomy Lab last semester- that was w/ a cadaver and all. The little lens are REALLY cool!

Sometimes, yes. But not always. I have smoked PCP and while it was a wickedly strange high (and one I didn’t care to repeat), I was in no way transformed into a raving lunatic.

YMMV, obviously.

They’re just expressing it in different ways. I’ve been all 4 of those people at different times.

Well said. I’ve never understood people who can’t pick up on this.

Last night a group us were playing DnD and someone brought this article up. We talked about it for a few minutes and decided to get back to playing. It was the fey-pact warlock’s turn. What spell did he cast?

Eyebite.

I think it was a half an hour before we could play again we were laughing so hard. It was a completely innocent thing too, he didn’t put the two together until everyone else started laughing.
