So, I read the original nail argument, so perhaps I'm not a good data point. But I read excerpts of the article outloud to my roommate, who has never read your blog, and she thought it was hilarious.
Ah, the good people of my home state. I'm always so thrilled when they draw national attention.
Can I go to hell too? Because I thought that was hella funny.
BWAAAH! "It was unclear whether the man was seeking assistance for his injury or help in nailing down his other hand."
Is there a number you can call for that? Maybe someone who posts to Craigslist offering to do "odd jobs"?
Okay, THAT was funny. I agree w/ nyarlathotep about the funniest line. have you guys seen the Arcata Eye police log, btw? http://www.arcataeye.com/police0...e04/

That was hilarious. I was just about on the floor. I also think it is really funny that they found in necessary to note near the top of the article that the man had NOT seen TPOTC.
I know! There are so many great things about this article!
I thought it was hilarious and I don't think I read the nail controversey comments. It's a little Monty Python skit all to itself. Here's the soundtrack: " Oh. Shit."
I think it keeps getting funnier and consumingly incomprehensible as time passes.
I think it says something not good about me that ever since I've read this I've been consumed with trying to figure out how to get that last nail in.
well, if one really wanted to I suppose they could rig up some kind of contraption involving a nailgun suspended from the ceiling or fixed to a post at a carefully calculated & tested position relating to the crucifix; that had a string attached to the trigger; the other end of which *could* conceivably be hold in one's mouth to set off the thing. Or tied to the dog's tail.. in which case a "here boy!" would do the trick.
But somehow I don't see a MacGyver type attempting suicide to begin with..
Yeah, but wasn't the cross on the floor? Even if he had gotten both hands nailed down, he wouldn't have been able to pick the cross up. He still wouldn't have died. Unless he starved to death because he couldn't get to the fridge, I guess.
damnit (oops, now i'm going to hell), i just HAD to read that whole entry aloud to mr. t. and i got scolded b/c son l. was listening. so while i'm shrieking with laughter, mr. t. is disapprovingly saying to son l., "the poor man was sick, it is not funny." why he didn't just go with the "it was an accident" explanation, which l. is young enough to buy, i don't know.
killjoy. oh well, at least i guess he won't be spoiling my fun in hell.
I'm weeping. Damn.
Hasn't anyone here ever seen The Young Ones? Both Neil and Rik already tried it. From the pilot episode, "Demolition":
Rik, in self-appointed martyr mode, is trying to mount himself on a giant cross affixed to the front of the house and Neil yells up, "Rick, that's a really horrible way to kill yourself, man...I've tried, there's no way you can hammer in the last nail."

That's kinda too sad to be funny. Although I must confess the thought of a chuckle crossed my mind.
(You're going to hate me by the time I'm finished reading back over your entire-freakin'-blog.)
