Another severed finger story.

On purpose.

*speechless*

I think it's kinda cute.
In that love so strong I wanna mess myself up kinda way.
OK, so we usually call that obsession with a side of mental unstability. But it's love!

You know - I have a pretty strong stomach but the while ritual thing made me really queasy.

Note that if I were him, I'd never risk cheating, never know what she might decide to have for a little midnight snack.

The best one, about two twin brothers, one of whom had his arm removed and attached to his brother and that after having one middle finger removed and attached to the end of the same arm's middle finger, doesn't seem to be available. It ended with a quote like, "We have very exciting plans for our genitals."

Edit: Found it.

That said, you can't completely dismiss this artical... Unlike the others, this is well within the realm of believability.

Oh, what, you don't think there are people out there into this stuff? Sadly, there most definetly are.

it's real, I remember seeing a video of a guy they called 'toe cutter' or something, he took a chisel and a hammer and chopped the top of a digit off. It was pretty weird but it wasn't masochism it was something else but I'm not sure what.

Have you heard of GG Allin? he was a notorious punkrock "star" that started out along the lines of the Ramones in the late 1970's and was talented and good looking enough to have gone the route of The Clash but chose to go indie and proceeded to make some very fine (for the genre) music, tons of it actually, that guy was as close to 'true' punk-rock as anyone I have ever heard as he absolutely lived to be a punkrock artist regardless of wether even his fans liked him. In fact he made an art statement out of being as utterly anti-social as possible and still getting to tour. If the music wasn't so solid a GG Allin show would have been 100% freak show, in his later years he sported bad prison-style tattoos, a scarred forhead from constantly bashing his head with the mic, bashed out his own teeth with the mic, was infamous for taking a dump on stage, putting it in his mouth and flinging it at the audience, a mysoginist (I saw him assualt a female in the crowd on a tape even), heroin/alcohol abuser, cops sent to most of his shows and pretty much banned from most places except the most open clubs, stated he would kill himself on stage as a finale (ala Darby Crash of The Germs) BUT if you heard his taped interviews, where he is given a chance to talk freely without editorial comments, the guy was sane, lucid and considered himself an artist.

The ONLY conclusion I can come to is that a person like GG (named after Iggy, famous for his onstage bloodletting back in the day) is somehow in touch with his immortal soul, he knew that his time on Earth was temporary and what he did here with his life was important, he pushed his god given talents to the extreme and while most people would dismiss him as a nut, some of us respect the art and he will live on as someone that you can't top....

I feel ill.

I think I have heard of that guy! Not that seeing someone mulilate himself and flinging crap is my idea of a good time...
