Christ, how do people like that wipe their asses?

The burial will take place under the old oak tree in the backyard. Gonna need one hell of a shoe box though.

He told the class his earliest memory was wondering where his tail went.


There's "starved for attention", then there's this guy.

Mental illness IS sad. But modifying your body into that of a tiger is very sad when you end up looking nothing like a tiger. He looked like a guy with a lot of bad tattoos.

Very sad.

Though I can't be 100% sure this really happened and wasn't part of an alcohol-induced fever dream, I think I met this guy once and had about 3 dozen words with him at a party thrown by a troupe of Side-show performers in NYC. He seemed like a decent fellow depite having some obvious issues

douchebag/hater: Sad? Why?
... A sign of severe mental illness.

I have this thing called empathy. Because of such I view severe mental illness as sad.

The One True TheDavid: Snort:

Which is what's wrong with American "democracy": if I have to be ruled by a conglomerate of other people I'd rather it be people who are at least as sane and smart as I am.

Yeah, but people saner and smarter than you want that too.

hinten: This is the only logical conclusion on a path that starts with a tattoo.

all paths end in death.

except for the few paths that meld into other paths which end in death.

Therion: Sandinista81: Im still wondering how tigers became a totem animal in North America?

Me too.

Everyone know tigers are from Africa.

Sorry, but it's a well established though little known fact that the Hurons hunted the North American Tiger to extinction. The exact date of the final kill is, of course, unknown but recent archeological finds in southern Canada place the event somewhere between the seventh and eighth centuries BC. The skin of the North American Tiger figured prominently in the Huron culture as a symbol reserved for tribal chieftans. The claws and teeth were given out as rewards for contributions to the tribe's well being to individual members, much as a letter of commendation might be bestowed today.

The North American Tiger was somewhat smaller than its African cousin but was revered by Huron society for its ferocious demeanor. The use of the tiger's likeness was reserverd for the totems of the chieftans and therefore very few examples survived.

A number of years ago I watched an episode of Ripley's Believe it or Not with my daughter who was about 10 at the time. About a month later we went to Vegas to visit my brother. While there we decided to take the kids to the Siegfried and Roy exhibit to see the dolphins and large cats. We were wandering around and the kids were having a great time. My daughter kept saying, "Mom! It's the cat man! It's the cat man!" I was trying to keep track of a toddler at the time and since we were there to see large cats I didn't really pay attention to what she was saying at first. "Ya, there's lots of big cats, huh honey." "No mom! It's the guy from TV!" So I finally looked at what she was talking about and this gentelman was standing about 15 feet away from us looking at the tiger exhibit. It was cool to seehim up close. We approached him and he was very kind to my daughter and even let me take a picture of them togther. My toddler was terrified. I would love to post the pic but sadly, it's in storage.
