I think I will stay clear of **Ro0sh** , he seemed a little too knowledgable about eye scooping.

Oh please. Freshman college biology is enough to give you the details about the eye being edible and the cornea being tough. And most everyone knows about the optic nerve being attached to the back of the eyeball.

Now if he had known the best way to get an intact eyeball out of a still-living person is to slice the eyelid muscles and then clamp your mouth over it and suck it out, that would have been creepy.

Enjoy,

Already flagged and down. What did it say?

I can’t even get outraged over this case; my reaction is much more uncomprehending shock than anger.

It was basically someone saying they’d trade everything they own for a chance to either be alone with this guy for 5 minutes or have someone bring his head in a bag. He suggests someone with a lot of money to bail him out, because it would only be $100k and they’d get their bail money back when he is killed.

Simply to provide an anecdote: one of my dad’s friends in college got really high on acid and jumped out of a window, thinking he could fly.

> Son, you have no idea. My grandfather was one of the most important people in my life. I joked when he died. _He_ joked when he found out he was dying. Someone died - almost literally in my arms - in January of this year, and I made a joke out of it less than 3 hours later. Was it painful? Yes. Was it traumatic? Yes. Did I feel incredible sorrow for him, and sympathy for his family, which I hold to this day? Yes. But different people deal with shit in different ways. Don’t be so narrow-minded.

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

My way of dealing with this is to say that you are a congenitally syphillitic attention-whoring cockchugger who wants to be the center of attention no matter what. Making distasteful jokes about ugly events is a near guaranteed way to meet that desire. Now don’t be narrow minded; my way of dealing with this is just as valid as yours.

The kid kept having a temper tantrum. “Daddy, I want ice cream!”. Dad looked in the freezer, no ice cream. Dad got creative, he gave his son _eyes_ cream instead.

Yeah, I saw the films (not DVD’s, nor tapes mind you, but films) of the giant PCP addict who the cops had to shoot some 15 times to bring him down, and the woman who deep fried her baby at a burger king etc. If you never had any experience with PCP/LSD you’d buy in, at least until you did your research.

First floor or higher?

:: shrug ::

A buddy’s girlfriend went out a second floor window during a house party and landed bruised but not seriously hurt in the front bushes. She didn’t think she could fly or anything. She just went to the window to puke and then retched a little too hard.

Much higher. The fall killed him.  
Well, technically, hitting the ground killed him. The fall probably just mussed up his hair.

Well see that was the problem right there. The knack of flying is learning how to throw yourself at the ground and miss.
