Truth or Urban Legend?

“You know that story about the person waking up in a bathtub full of ice and missing a liver?

Please tell me http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/news/local/5290180.htm" target="_blank">this is just another/a> urban legend!”

“Whoa.”

“I saw this on the news on Sat. morning. It was just a quick flash in text on the bottom of the screen. Skeery.”

“it is kinda freaky - I guess you'd have to imagine there is a demand for organs”

“I saw a TV show a few years ago about organ transplants and the lack of enough organs for people that need transplants. People over in India were selling kidneys for money because poverty is so bad there. Also some people were attacked and knocked out and when they woke up on the street they were missing a kidney. Apparently, wealthy people desperate for organs pay people to go get them from India's poor.”

“Doesn't that make you feel all warm and fuzzy?”

“Well, maybe it would after a week's decomposition...”

“I plan to keep myself in such bad shape that all my organs will be worth practically nothing on the black market”

“anybody see the galveston doctor busted for selling fingernails off of dead people?


eeeWWEEWweewwwww”

“gross, gross, and gross. that IS a good plan, though, ynami.

so you're saying that after some random dudes took the organs, apparently in a fit of drug-lust, they would still be use-able? i would think they would have to be kept sterile and all that jazz...”

“who started all that talk about livers the other day, maybe they're responsible???”

“i was just thinking of that!!”

“"in a fit of drug-lust"

Lyra you are the funniest person alive! LOL!”

“Geo, where were you all weekend?”

“Run for your livers!”

“ME? you're the one who brought up Canadian porn mags, newgirl!”

“What am I talking about. I better run! I live with her...”

“I made mention of this at 11:46 on the "I'm so Happy" thread. Tis true!”

“so if we see Maple on here talking about buying lots of new gear then you'd like us to call the police then treebeard?”

“took his rib cage too!”

“Okay, we are both the funniest persons alive. I just thought that was hilarious. Like these guys were all getting ripped up and all the sudden one of them is like, "I'm so hopped up I think I'll harvest your organs!"”

“LOL! i'm going to hell for laughing on this thread. actually, i was imagining more some dudes who were so desperate for money to buy drugs that they "harvested." eewww...”

“Apparently no one has thought of the other possibility.

Cannibalism.”

“There are several top hospitals in Phil. I would imagine they do transplants regularly.”

“Thanks, Ynami. My family thanks you. My organs thank you...”

“Since snackboy has taken leave, I’ll have to fill in:

Timbales of Liver

To a pint of young man's liver cooked in salted water until tender, then forced through a meat chopper, add a cup of fresh crumbs moistened with a cup of chicken stock or milk, two beaten eggs, a teaspoon of finely chopped parsley, a few drops of onion juice, a tablespoon of chicken oil, bacon fat or soft butter, and salt and paprika to season highly. Mix thoroughly and turn into well-buttered earthen timbale molds. Cooks in a pan of warm water in a moderate oven for about twenty-five minutes. Turn out on a warm platter and surround with mushroom sauce.

Yumbalicious!”

“Got any lung or heart recipes, Violin?

Oh wait! Bologna!”

“Shine on

“(and SAVE The LIVER for Free23)”

“I'm not so sure Jeffrey Dahmer is dead now. Violin, that's not you, is it by any chance? Ok, just checkin'...”

“Anything's good with a little bacon on it...”

“And speaking of Urban Legends...

Above link not for the faint of heart...”

“remind me never backpack with you violin”

“I seem to recall Jeffry Dahmer breaking out of prison and heading for Waco with a 50 gallon drum of barbeque sauce...”

“Who wants the dubious task of searching Violin's fridge?”

“Who remembers that movie "Coma" where healthy people were mysteriosly slipping into a coma when they went for minor surgery so they could use them as organ donors later?”

“Ah, yes... all hung from the ceiling on wires to avoid bedsores.”

“Tom Selleck had an early role in that pic. I think he was one of the "suspendees".”

“I saw that flick, V-man. But I don't remember it. Think I slept through it...

No organs missing when I left though...”

“yummmm livers...get me a beer with that!”

“Coma...that was with that French chick Genevieve something.

Heard about that news article during the weekend....scary stuff.

Actually, they're doing that to prisoners in China.”

“Been around for 20 years.”

“Catshiker, its on all the network newscasts in Philly. They found a body. It had been "cleaned."”

“The link to story ”

“Why did Dahmer have a blender on his front porch!?”

“*drum roll*








So he could greet each visitor with a HAND SHAKE!!”

“True story. Who knows why? Life in the big city!”

“Maybe he drank more than his fairshare of the 40.”

“That wasn't very fair of me. I don't mean to disparage the character of the victim in this crime. Its just so gruesome, it begs to be made light of.”
