I'll cast the first stone, but just for fun. With my free severed hand.

So this guy with three hands walks out of a bar...
 
2010-03-16 08:52:42 AM
I don't have any stones to throw, so how 'bout I give 'em the finger?

"Staff also complain that items are moved or hidden but reappear weeks later."

...and this happened before, in March of 2004?

...but the hand, it was definitely stolen?

Oh, I see.... It's cursed. Well now, that makes all the difference here. EVERYBODY PANIC! Cursed hand on the loose!
 
2010-03-16 08:57:00 AM
Damn. I'm out.

I bet you could give yourself a hell of a stranger with that severed hand.

Handy.

"with many visitors noticing a cold sensation in certain parts of the building"

Presumably near the doors or open windows.... or maybe even in the ice bucket on the bar

It's cursed? That's bad. But it comes with a free frogurt. That's good.

Looks like it's been battered and ready to fry.

Mmmmmm... fried hand. The "other" white meat.

I don't think that's the real one. It states in the article that the hand is clutching a deck of cards. There is no clutching going on in that picture.

Well, I'm out.

Agree... Plus, part of the pic's file name is "Haunch-of-Venison". Must be why it's making me hungry.

Oh, I wish I had the skills to post the picture of Jack Nicholson in "The Departed" eating lobster and holding up the severed hand in the bag.....

One of us will HAVE to cast the first stone. It's not like the guy with the severed hand can do it.

Although the finger was attached to a slablike hand, and the hand was attached to a clublike forearm, the forearm wasn't attached to anything at all, except in the metaphorical sense that it was attached by a fierce doglike loyalty to the bar which was its home. It had previously been more conventionally attached to the original owner of the bar, who on his deathbed had unexpectedly bequeathed it to medical science. Medical science had decided they didn't like the look of it and had bequeathed it right back to the Old Pink Dog Bar.

In fairness, there may be lots of drafty areas in a "684-year-old pub", not just doors and windows. Not to mention that the patrons may not always be at the top of their game, what that it is a pub and all.

Saint Stephen (or King Stephen the first, if you prefer) of Hungary would like to point something out here...

Doctor: Long story. I lost my hand, Christmas Day, in a sword fight.
[Flashback: The Sycorax Leader chops the Doctors hand off]
Martha: What? And you... grew another hand?
Doctor: Um, yeah. I did, yeah. [holds it up and waves it] Hello.

I thought about Eldrad before I thought of 10. Damn that's sad.
I was waiting for a hand job murderer reference, so here it is.

Thank you sir! It was the first thing I thought of when I read the headline. I was starting to wonder if anyone would post it.
