Okay, I'm sure I'm not the only who saw this article on CNN, but I had to post this anyway. You know, kind of an evil, profane "pay-it-forward" scheme.

You know...it is kind of funny in a sick and twisted way. Or maybe I'm just sick and twisted.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 5:34 pm

that's just plain funny, no sick and twisted at all.

Seiryu · Postby **Seiryu** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 5:43 pm

You're more messed up than I am, then.

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 5:47 pm

it's funny that she DIED FIXING THE PLUG ON THE TV!

Seiryu · Postby **Seiryu** » Sun Nov 26, 2006 5:49 pm

I was talking about the fact that she was upside down the entire time, but anyway...it's sick and twisted BECAUSE she died from it. If she had only been missing for a while and not dead, then it wouldn't be as sick or twisted. See...laughing at death (whether it's funny or not) is morbid.

I'm twisted, but that's not funny.

I didn't mean funny "haha" more like funny strange.

When I read this this morning, I could only wonder why didn't the look behind the bookcase with thegaping cave behind it?

eriador · Postby **eriador** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:48 am

i don't understand how they had been looking for her for weeks and didn't look behind the bookshelf with a body-sized gap behind it.

stupid -> funny

i'm like Dogbert, I like to laugh at stupid people.

I read that story in the paper today. I agree with Ollie - creepy as hell.

Oh irony of ironies, look what Unshelved published just before this story broke...

It's like something out of Poe...

how is this creepy? kind of a strange way to die i grant you... but i think creepy is the wrong word to use.

pretty much sounds to me like a losing bid for the darwin awards.

fawkes · Postby **fawkes** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:10 pm

No, it's sad, but not worhty of a Darwin Award. It's not quite the same as dying while doing something stupid, she just slipped.

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 12:25 pm

like i said... a losing bid. this case wouldn't make the cut.

i think the creepy part comes in where her family was frantic looking for her and she was in their house the whole time...dead.

i think having a dead boy in your house for days and days without knowing it (or, for that matter, with knowing it) is sort of creepy.

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 1:07 pm

screwed up maybe. creepy? naw. not unless dead people make your skin crawl.

fawkes · Postby **fawkes** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 1:14 pm

Most people are afraid of dead bodies. That's why zombies are so much fun!

As opposed to those dead girls in your house; now those aren't creepy at all.

(You know I'm teasing.)

ha, meant "body"

my "d" key sticks quite a bit. =)

Liar.

I think it was a Freudian slip and we need to contact the authorties.

VelvetElvis · Postby **VelvetElvis** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 7:26 pm

No need to contact the authorities. Let them figure it out when she goes on a Se7en-style rampage.

Hah, that is kinda ironic.

I think we all learned a lesson today, if you are short, stay away from book cases..... and stupid relatives with sinus colds.

fawkes · Postby **fawkes** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 7:32 pm

Do you think they saw the same article?

puppets · Postby **puppets** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 7:37 pm

Hahahaha i bet they saw the comic Jayelle posted and looked behind the bookcase. Oh most obvious of places, why do we always forget thee. Can you imagine it now...

"Hey hunny, come look at this comic, its about a small kid getting stuck behind a book ca......"

"Hey that is kinda funn....."

*couple looks at eachother*

I wonder how stupid they must feel. And to think, they could of saved Janet's life, But it's okay, they still have Marsha.

WHAT?! You are so messed up.

They were looking for her body for 11 days... and she was in their HOUSE!

sorry rahl. you'd think as a writer of creepy things and horror... or whatever it is you write. you'd know that a dead body is a 1.5 on a scale of 10 on the scare-o-meter. and usually it takes a pop and scream to get it that high. who cares how long it was in there. so it would stink. a stinky body is not scary. a stinky body is just sick. *shrug*

yes, i am messed up. thank you. everyone would do very well to remember that.

puppets · Postby **puppets** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:37 pm

creepy and scary are completely different. im not scared of bugs, but they creep me out, something that makes you feel awkward, or an event that is awkward.

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:46 pm

yup and it's just as creepy as it is scary.

ValentineNicole · Postby **ValentineNicole** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 9:46 pm

puppets · Postby **puppets** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:09 pm

You wouldnt think it would be creepy if you found a relative dead in your house? I'd be at least a little creeped out.

mr_thebrain · Postby **mr_thebrain** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:15 pm

no. honestly i'd probably just be sad.

puppets · Postby **puppets** » Mon Nov 27, 2006 10:16 pm

I guess to each his own heh.
