She likes to read Farewell to Arms and her favorite movie is **Arm** istad. She has admitted to lusting after Edward Scissorhands. If she gets a claw instead of a hook for hands, in Asia, she’d be known as Da Craw. ---

Sorry for the double post there. Things just got out of hand. Any way, in the category of “sequential thread titles” I think I should mention that the next two threads after this one are currently “I can stump you!” and “So… should I break it off?” ---

Remember the Doc Severeinson game, “Stump The Band”? I think she should have her own game show, “Stump the hand”. ---

This thread reminds me of the couple who had a baby that was horribly deformed–he was, in fact, just a head with no body. They loved him and raised him the best they could, but one day the thing they feared the most happened–he snapped and became hysterical on his 18th birthday just after opening his present, and had to be committed to a mental institution. His parents were never able to forget the words their son screamed as the nice Men In White Coats took him away: “NO! NO!! NO MORE FUCKING HATS!!!” Sincerely, MysterEcks, who, despite the best efforts of the Men In White Coats, is still at large ---

On a serious note- that Orlan website was the creepiest thing I have ever seen, period. Thank God it was mostly in French, because I found that I had to keep reading, with a kind of sick fascination. Nice photos too. Surgery as performance art- eeeewwww… ---

I showed this thread to a friend, who suggested that if she was having trouble finding an affordable surgeon for the amputation, she could always get them severed on a railroad track and possibly get her insurance to cover the treatment. Just thought I’d share this handy cost-cutting tip. ---

Okay people, we need to declare an armistice here. I’ve read about all I can handle. Someone should handcuff this women to prevent her from seeking handouts to fund her quest. Surely, she is not living hand-to-mouth, why could she not seek treatment? Maybe she just needs a snifter of Armagnac to relax and think this out. One questions though: if she did get the procedure done, would she be considered handicapped? ---

Post-surgery questions: How will she masturbate? Will she get hooks with snap-on attachments? Can she get this funded by Doc Johnson? How will she change the batteries? What’s her phone number? How will she type on the SDMB? Will she keep puncturing her mouse? ---
