Merrick: “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”
me: “So you’ve said, yeah. Tell me—just what is it that you have against animals, anyway?”
Merrick: “I AM A HUMAN BEING –!”
me: “Actually, you’re more like a big slobbery bean bag chair with eyes, if you want the truth. But you still haven’t answered my question.”
Merrick: “I AM NOT AN ANIMAL!”
me: “Uh huh, that’s what I thought.
me: “Hater.”
BECAUSE OF THE HYPOGLYCEMIA!
hater.
The JOOOOOOOOOS must be involved, somehow.
So which one of you looks better in a gold lame speedo? That’s the real way to settle the matter – with a posing contest at Venice Beach. Can both of you be ready if we allow time to have your hair moussed?
Hey, I saw Zoolander and I know the only way to settle a dispute is a runway walk-off.
And, my money’s on Jeff for being able to get his jockey shorts out of his pants without taking his pants off first…
The mousse won’t really affect the judging. You need to get the oil on your body so that the lighting shows off your muscle definition.
I’d prefer to see a conversation between philosopher Peter Singer and John Merrick.
I can’t turn left.
Jeff, slandering Cindy Sheehan is one thing, but slandering the Elephant Man?
At long last, sir, have you no shame?
Turing word: Because. As in “don’t attack me readers, because I’m kidding . . . “
After he died, they first autopsied him and then flensed his skeleton bare, to be kept as a demonstration of the disease. Somewhat later, it was auctioned off and started hanging around in Michael Jackson’s closet.
How much respect does he deserve?
SB: out
BECAUSE OF THE HIPOCRACY!
That was funny.
BTW does anyone have a clue WHY the gloved boy wonder wanted the elephant man’s skeleton? I mean I can use Google as well as anyone else, but I’m too lazy.
“I am not a hat-rack!”
Because he wanted to make a clone from bone marrow samples. OBVIOUSLY!
An interesting read on the possible causes of Merrick’s disease plus a cool (if small) picture can be found here.
Note that Michael Jackson’s ownership of the bones is an urban legend. (As the article notes near the bottom)
