So does Reagan.

Zing!
 
2003-07-08 02:04:17 PM
When the speech therapist asked him what she could do for him, he told her, "Make love to me."

Jeez after 19 years of going without, I say he was pretty damn polite with that request.
 
2003-07-08 02:10:26 PM
Can he even get a boner? I thought he was paralyzed.

Low but funny DrToast

Sometimes when I look at the news, I think Reagans in charge too.

I wish Reagan was president too, certainly an improvement over GW, even in his current condition.

Let's make America great again.

The next day, she brought her son home, and he added "Pepsi" to his vocabulary. "He loves Pepsi,"

Move over Britney. Terry is taking your place.

The poor guy thinks MTV still plays music videos too.
 
2003-07-08 03:16:02 PM
Wow, talk about science fiction. Think of all the new shiat this dude has never seen. The internet, these small-ass cell phones, plasma TVs, DVDs, mp3 players, all *kinds* of shiat. Of course, there's also reality TV, Christina Aguillera, and the Star Wars Prequels. He's likely to buy a DeLorean and skedaddle back to 1984 (which, I realize, predates Back To The Future, thanks).

PS: DrToast, thanks. I laughed my butt off at that.

I'd pay to have a look in his closet if it had his clothes from 1984.
 
2003-07-08 03:48:53 PM
I get dibs on his Union Jack t-shirt with the sleeves cut off.
 
2003-07-08 03:51:07 PM
19 years in a coma? That has got to suck hairy balls. If I'm ever in a coma over a couple of weeks I hope that someone has the decency to pull the farking plug.
 
2003-07-08 04:08:11 PM
It'd be pretty funny to dress someone up like an ape from Planet of the Apes and tell him that he must obey the Simian Overlords.

And with the bad short-term memory, you could do it again and again!
 
2003-07-08 04:11:02 PM
he should go party with Steven Hawking
 
2003-07-08 04:11:29 PM
He'll probably go back into a coma when he hears about Clinton.
 
2003-07-08 04:11:46 PM
I'm stealing the line from the first time this was posted, but wait till he sees Michael Jackson!

It's not just his language abilities that have changed. So, too, has his personality, Terry's parents said. When the speech therapist asked him what she could do for him, "He told her, 'Make love to me,'" said his father.

"That's kind of strange, because he would not have talked dirty before he wrecked."

hahaha, thats great!
 
2003-07-08 04:13:40 PM
...and the problem would be?
 
2003-07-08 04:14:32 PM
In fact, the parents said, Terry was never seen by a neurologist after the accident.

"They told us it would cost $120,000 just to evaluate him to see if he could be helped, and we didn't have that kind of money," said Jerry, who is a farmer. His wife works in a shirt factory.

Attempts to get Medicaid to pay proved fruitless. "They said the government will not put out that kind of money on no more chance than he's got to re-enter the workforce."

As a result, their son was never evaluated, he said.


Ah yes. Socialized medicine sucks, doesn't it.
 
2003-07-08 04:14:34 PM
And this guy's the hottest thing going.
 
2003-07-08 04:14:38 PM
When he went into the coma, he was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that Darth Vader is Luke's father.

Anyway, DrToast won this thread on the Boobies.
 
2003-07-08 04:15:02 PM
At least he doesnt have to hear about Ace Of Bass
 
2003-07-08 04:15:09 PM
I wonder how long after one wakes up from a coma does one feel the desire to take a nap?
 
2003-07-08 04:15:14 PM
Apparently this guy wasn't REALLY in a coma for 19 years if he was able to respond to his family several years ago.
 
2003-07-08 04:15:59 PM
JangoFett, that's f'ing hilarious =D
 
2003-07-08 04:16:09 PM
"So tell me what's happened while I was out...Riverdance? Linedancing? The Macarena? Rap? Reality TV? Britney Spheres? Screw this, I'm going back in the coma. Wake me when my clothes come back in style."
 
2003-07-08 04:16:11 PM
It sounds as Rip van Bubba is improving.
 
2003-07-08 04:16:13 PM
he could improve his vocabulary by arguing on the internet. scratch that, he's already pretty much a retard.
 
2003-07-08 04:16:30 PM
"He just said, 'Mom,'" Angilee said. "I like to fell over."

Huh?
 
2003-07-08 04:17:00 PM
Wait just a stinkin' minute here. Wasn't one of the themes of the original article the sappy story about how his wife never left and waited all this time for her husband to come around? "I married him til death due us part." and all that crap?

Then as soon as this dude's able to talk he's trying to get the speech therapist broad to take a pony ride? WTF? Howcome it didn't say anything about his wife in this article, perchance her reaction to his newfound ability to vocalize and the lewd sexual advances to women he doesn't know that came with it?
 
2003-07-08 04:17:14 PM
When is, "make love to me" dirty talkin'?

Man, I wonder how crazy mom and dad's bedroom antics are...

/nothing
 
2003-07-08 04:17:17 PM

"It was so scary, while I was in a coma, I dreamed of something called a 'flamewar' on a place called 'Fark.com' located on something called, 'the internet', but I couldn't understant any of it. What does it all mean ma, it scares me !!"

Should've gotten him the tag instead...

I love you papa Homer. I love you too Pepsi.

Mom, when is the new Kajagoogoo record coming out?
 
2003-07-08 04:18:18 PM
He's really going to be disappointed when he learns who is president now.
 
2003-07-08 04:18:33 PM
mad props to jangofett! do it. that would be hilarious.

or post a sign that says, "Hail Ants" in his room one day. and when he asks why, tell him, "quiet, you'll upset the queen!"
 
2003-07-08 04:18:52 PM
L Dopa fixed me, alright...
 
2003-07-08 04:19:09 PM
How is this guy gonna take it when they explain to him that Peter and Ace rejoined Kiss, they put the makeup back on, then Peter and Ace left again, but they're still wearing the makeup?
 
2003-07-08 04:19:51 PM
In response to some of the posts that speak of how this guy will be "blown away" by all of the technological advances made in the past 20 odd years, keep in mind that he is in Arkansas. Things haven't changed there since 1884, let alone since 1984.

Cut the brother some slack, man!
Only suicide bombers enjoy the services of 70 vigins on the other side....

control:

If I was his speech therapist I woulda at least of helped him toss one off. :-)

Judging from what my kids are wearing....It looks alot like 1984...

"...and I belive that Ronald Reagan can make this country what it once was...an arctic region of ice..."

Yeah, what Control said. Very polite boy. He needs the T.S. Garp treatment.
 
2003-07-08 04:23:03 PM
When the speech therapist asked him what she could do for him, "He told her, 'Make love to me,'"

this guy is a true american hero.
 
2003-07-08 04:23:08 PM
sens - haha yeah, good ol' blowin'-yerself-up-fer-virgins. That rocks. I think all of them should do it.

But anyway. I'm not saying I can't cut the guy some slack. I don't blame him one bit. I'm just wondering where the wife went? In the first article it was talking all about how his wife never left him and all this crap, then all of a sudden he starts talking, starts hitting on everything that looks at him, and there's no mention of the wife. Just thought that was a bit odd.
