Severed heads are everywhere!
 

No. Pay closer attention to FB events.

But it is part of a theme. Mom always said things happen in threes. Case in point: the same week as the doc got decapped by the elevator doors, a carnival worker got decapped when his shoulder length hair got caught in some part of the ride as he checked that all the riders were safe & secure.

They're both disgusting. Seeing as I'd keel over instantly in response, however, I doubt I would technically be bothered by either one.

Severed head dude
 

I would think it would be more disturbing to be stuck with the head. After 15 minutes or so, you would have more of an urge to touch a head - say, with the tip of your toe or a pen - kust to see if the eyes were still open. After enough time bored out of your skull (sorry) on an elevator, you'd be shooting imaginary three-pointers with the thing. And it's always at that embarrassing moment that the rescue crews arrive. Or maybe that's just me.

Yeah. What I was gonna say, 'cept I was beat to it!

I put the re: line in there for a reason. And put a lot of filler fluff from the front of the article to ease you into it.

I dunno, is that more or less embarrassing than being in the process of ending that long dry spell with the body of the corpse?

I have a B-list friend who frequently flies out to Vegas to play in $250 all-in tournaments. Approximately 100 other people play. B/c of the amount of money, almost all of the players are professional or are extremely experienced. My friend has been playing underground here in Chicago for a long time. He is a south side Italian who plays in some sketchy (illegal) Chicago games. Now, I have an A-list friend who is Hold 'Em crazy. He caught the bug and is quite mental about it. B-list friend told him to ABSOLUTELY not play in the big money game and insisted (begged?) A-list to play in the $25 all-in. A-list followed B-list's advice and made it to the second table. He had pocket cowboys and lost to pocket 9s. 9s went all-in. A-list followed. 9 on the flop.

75?? people in the tourney, so still decent money ($1800)

Sorry, I'll try to keep up. So, Death by Mullet for the carny? Is this the first time?

More. But on the upside, it would have a much more meaningful effect on your purity score than would touching the head with your toe or your pen.

No contest. Worse to be stuck with the head. Whatever they say about retrograde amnesia and the guillotine, I would never shake the thought that he was conscious for three minutes in there with me, and I don't like throwing up in front of other people. It's just a thing I have.

Oh, the rumors about that whole elevator thing have been flying around here lately. Everyone's heard soemthing different about it (body had to be recovered from the bottom of the elevator shaft, not a clean break of the head and part of the arm also, head rolled into the elevator, he was using his arms to open the closed elevator). It's totally unclear what happened. Family is suing hospital and elevator company, and they want a second opinion on the autopsy, because the official autopsy came back with a 0.01 BAC. I'm surprised that the whole thing wasn't settled immediately, it's not exactly something you want in front of a jury.

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

Oh yeah, that's another one that's been going around. Apparently for about 30 or so seconds, he was looking at her and trying to say something.

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

A person is conscious for 3 minutes after their head is severed? What kind of sick fuck figured that one out, and how?

Robby says, "bad news for Coltrane"
 

well, Mr. Perfect Chest Hair wrote back (!). Too bad the Internet wasn't around back when I worshipped Rick Springfield- I could have really been delusional about emailing him.

Here is what he said:

Thanks for watching me play Todd. I am sorry to saw
that i dont have any photos of what you are wanting.
just pics of me playing some tennis.

i am taking some time off but keep checking my site to
find out where i will be next. www.robbyginepri.com

peace-

Peace, man. And peace to Minnie as well.

If I did parentheticals, which I dont, I would say, "wondering if Phillippoussis has his email on the web"

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

Well, it's not entirely clear whether or not they're conscious, but there's definitely some movement and shaking and physical reactions, long after the head has been severed. This is why so many people every year have to go to the ER after playing around with the heads of snakes after they've been just cut off. The snake will still bite a few minutes afterward. If you hack at a snake with a garden hoe, it does this weird dance thing once you've broken it's back, and then it dies.

R(usually lets someone else kill the snake because she's paralyzed with fear)T

Robby says, "bad news for Coltrane"
 

Of what you are wanting? Did Robby go to school, or did he get "tutoring" in English so that he could spend more time on the practice courts? He is an American player, yes?

Maybe he meant wanting as in deficient and was mocking paigow for her lack of chest hair. Nah, probably not.

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

Bullshit, says the rational mind. Maybe, say people who have been in rooms with exceptionally fresh heads. "[T]he fatal blow in a beheading induces immediate unconsciousness, even though the brain may not actually expire for several minutes." But, there are anecdotal accounts contra. Spree: Second link very much not for the faint of heart (no pics), but work appropriate in this sick, sick world we live in.

When I wrote: "he's not fat and she isn't," I meant the "isn't" to be read as "she isn't not fat." She's also significantly older than he is (I'd guess 10 years). They're just a strange, apparently very happy couple. In any event, Dan Band fuckin rocks.

See, I'm not quite sure, based on all the rumors, that it was a clean cut, so I'm thinking that there probably was suffocation first, THEN decapitation, but I wasn't there, and someone else was, so we'll probably have to go with her deep, deep in therapy word. Or the autopsy report.

I'll set forth my uninformed (by internet live-feed updates) guess, and say that:

Alison uses the veto on herself.
Jun puts up Robert.
Erika votes to evict Robert.
Alison votes to evict Jee.
Jun breaks the tie by voting to evict Jee.

One can safely say that the level of sophistication in the game-playing abilities of the contestants has gone way up over the previous years. Everyone is always thinking about the end game, who they want to be with, etc. etc. We were led to believe that that aspect of the game was never discussed or thought about until the Final 3 in previous years. Hats off to this group for that.

Voyons.

In an effort to sound less stalky, I said that I had only written one other tennis player as I had been at school with him. I now realize this may make me sound more stalky. Then I said, if things dont work out with Minnie, you know where to reach me. I should have inserted the Thurgreed emoticon, but I dont do emoticons so I didnt.

I think I just blew it with Robby. SIGH.

That's fucking cool.

Shit. I left out the hyphen between year and old, and now I can't go back and fix it because people are watching.

Robby says, "bad news for Coltrane"
 

I told Robby that my friends and I were debating who had the most perfect chest hair and I said he did, or seemed to as best as one could tell fro a quick change o shirt during a changeover, and that I could not locate any topless shots of him on the web and did he have any?

Therefore, you can imagine the shock I experienced when he actually replied. He is clearly in the early stages of his fame. Soon there will be beefcake shots and bizarro email to go. I just hope he remembers ole paigow. An original chest hair fan. kind of like how I banged slave before he did everything in "site".

Jun did it this way (nominating Alison instead of nominating Robert) so that Alison wouldn't veto Jee or Robert. This way she's sure to get to her desired two -- Jee and Robert. I think it's a smart move.

And to answer RP's post, golden POV is different from regular POV from previous years because holder of golden POV can't be nominated that week.

And I may be a big geek for knowing this minutae, but I'm joined in my geekdom by my fiancee, who remarked during last night's episode, "Jun now looks as fat as Hollywood (meaning Jamie from BB1)." So I take solace.

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

Okay, but does the body of the decapitated person move too? Thrash? Ambulate? Run around like a chicken with its head cut off? I would assume that it does, for a few moments at least. And that's gotta wig you out in an elevator, no?

My answer to the question -- head or body? -- is "depends on the body." If I'm gonna be traumatized, I at least want the option of getting some trim if the body is depose-able.

And to respond to the obvious, I imagine jaws can clench tight in rigor mortis or whatever. Plus, I mean, ewww.

Several dozen times. Los Angeles has large numbers of legal poker rooms, most of which hold low buy-in daily or weekly tournaments. Here, it's about 90% amateurs, though the amateurs are such fixtures around the poker rooms that they're better categorized as semi-pro. It's a great way to play poker for a few hours for a fixed amount of money ($40-$100 usually, including rebuys).

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

Even if you could get over the blood and gore and absence of the head, I believe that after that kind of trauma the body would not be deposable (for most people), for reasons that I do not care to express (hint, hint).

Ok, so if I'm reading fast, I often skip re: lines. Must be a carry-over from when the font for them was like 4 point. In addition, though the stuff at the beginning might have been tame for you, it was too gross for me.

Of course I was kidding about the spoiler space. I realize I have an eggshell gore sensibility. I couldn't even bear to read the little blurb on the drill bit guy that was foisted upon me in a public place today. This is the main reason I am not Dr. Casesensitive.

Roland the Headless Surgical Resident
 

You seriously underestimate the potential effect of "I can tell my friends I did it" on ... well, y'know (wink, wink).

Plus, have you ever heard a guy respond to the question "what's her face like?" with "I'm not even sure she had one"? Just imagine the, um, boost from knowing that I could be the first person to say that truthfully.
