I kid you not…

I…….no, I am lost for words

riiiiiight…

I saw this yesterday. It has to be the most bizarre story of the year. Can't imagine that anything would top it.

The sheriff's name was Mr. Whipple?

Theis has got to be a joke . . .

Welcome to my world. Living in Kansas makes you realize the boundry to the Twilight Zone is just down the street or sometimes just across the street. Ahhh the stories I could tell working 3rd shift at the hospital. Never realized flesh eating bacteria was so common either. Having worked at a major hospital in Tampa and then coming out to the West, I sort of miss the run of the mill gunshot wounds. Just for your information, prayer does not prevent gangrene either.

More first impressions here:

Don't squeeze the Charmin.

Curses. Missed the earlier thread.

One of my US friends advised me that civilisation ends in the USA when you travel more than 35 miles from the sea. Sometimes I read things like this and believe him :)

Mr Manley, your US friend is an ass!

Thats pretty nasty! Plus where did the boyfriend go, when he needed to go?

Um, why is the boyfriend being charged?

There was a case here in Germany a few years ago of a woman who had not left her sofa for a couple of years and had literally grown attched to it. Comparing these two stories… at least the women here had a way to take care of her bodily functions!

Foul, just plain foul. He must have had another toilet to have let her go.

Thank you -- I heard about this earlier today but couldn't find a link to the story.

I'm wondering, was she really fat? I mean, you've just got to wonder what the is wrong with people.

What no pictures?

Joking, I'm joking! This has to be the weirdest story I've heard so far this year. I'm actually pleased that there aren't any pictures, because I wouldn't be able to resist looking, and then I wouldn't be able to erase the images from my mind.

It's actually pretty sad when you think about it. Didn't anyone miss her?

"Does my bum look big in this?"

Mrs. W. said:

"Well, I guess the boyfriend couldn't throw her out of the house… she had squatter's rights!"

A chance for historical discussion of making horses senators and medieval trials.

"Mr Manley, your US friend is an ass!"

No, he's a Vietnam vet. I'll tell him you said :)

Anyway, I have to say my experiences travelling down the Mississippi didn't support his view and I'm hoping things haven't changed as I'm off to Idaho in a few weeks :D

OK, she's a and her boyfriend might be abusive. I get that part, but why is there an American flag on the top of the story at that link?

Granted they are Americans, but this is not normal behavior for my countrymen or anyonr else.

The heroes in this story are the firemen who had to get her off the toilet. I bet that isn't a good memory for them.

What? Wacko gets "bleeped"? or was it because it was wacko job?

Also, being a Vetnam Vet makes no difference on if the guy has no clue about the rest of his country 35 miles from the shore. Sound like he should get out a bit more, he's not trapped in a bathroom is he?

I respect the service of all veterans, but not all are saints.

The question is WHAT did she do for 2 years was there a TV in there? The mind boggles at these sort of stories.

I first had to check the date to check if was April 1st, which was my first reaction.

Well, I checked on Snopes.com (ALWAYS check there for these types of stories!) and this is what I came up with, so, it must be true:

cfuzwuz and Oddball, Are you guys seriously that um, serious about David Manleys comments about his friends description of the US. It's obviously a joke about such places, just like doug redshirts earlier in the post.

I swear there is so much thin skin around here it drives me friggin' nuts. I'll be in the real world if anyone needs me.

Does your chewing gum lose it's flavor on the bedpost overnight?

Mr Manley, though I am not a Vietnam vet I do have a Vietnam service medal (from Thialand, I was an Army Security Agency direction finder). I only stopped in Nam long enough to sign for some poor GI's remains. Conquest- I probably should have counted to ten before I posted. It is pretty common knowledge that there are more weirdos in California that all of flyover country.

Just as with "common sense", "common knowledge" is typically neither.

California merely clusters its wierdos by type, so it looks like there are more of them. Some end up in Berkeley (and never leave), some in San Francisco, some in Hollywood, some in Sacramento, and some in Oregon and Idaho.

Farstar, you forgot Claremont.

They're on every street corner here. I just caught one stealing today: A bag of shrimp, bread and two bags of fruit snacks, all while I stood next to her literally 4 feet away. Her reason, (chuckling) "I can't get that bread anywhere else."
