One of my fondest memories with morgue_keeper is a conversation we had one night on msn back in January. To give a little background on the conversation and how it came about, we had been talking for about two hours over random things before she told me about Thom's smoking habits after which we then discussed the relative evils of social vs routine smoking. It then degenerated into little more than crack at 2am. This conversation comes a few weeks after Thom joined the army (whom I always quaintly ask after with 'how's he doing on the inside?')
Manda: so yeah, that was the one huge thing that has shocked me this week
the texan inmate ripping out his eye and eating it didn't even compare to the "i've smoked for the past six years, didn't you know?"
Me: a texan inmate ripped out thoms eye?!
AND THEN ATE IT?!
Manda: yep
Me: he has an eye missing?!
NO WAY
wait
thoms eyes?
or his own eye?
Manda: lol the texan inmate ripped out his OWN EYE and ate it
otherwise im pretty sure our convo would have turned out differently in regards to order
instead of the agenda being
twilight, twilight movie, celebrities, movies, thom being a smoker, thom losing an eye
it prob would have been
thom being a smoker, thom losing an eye
Me: lol not even
the convo would start off with
"guess what thoms summer has been like..."
Manda: "losing an eye is not a total loss"
"it is much better than lung cancer"
Me: "lots of one-eyed people go on to live very fulfilling, complete lives"
imagine the pirate jokes...
hahahaha!
now only one eye to lose to blindness resultant of smoking
Manda: lol
"if you can't SEE the cigarettes, you don't have to smoke them"
can you imagine that as the motivational talk?
Me: HAHAHAHA
"look. piracy isn't the only answer"
"no, thom, you do NOT look like johnny depp"
Manda: "look thom, i know plenty of people who have quality of life with one eye... they usually have the other one too, sorry, skip that point"
Me: "i think itd be more consistent if we ate the other one too"
Manda: "thom you know the song three blind mice? well, apart from their tails being cut off by the farmer's wife, i hear they led charming lives, post incident. You have the added advantage of not being a mouse, and not having a tail, although there is safety in numbers...."
Me: "lol thom maybe you should find your true family, under the name "cyclops". i think it's somewhere on an island in 6000BC "
Manda: "thom, leela in futurama is not as alone as she thinks she is"
Me: "put it this way. glasses will only cost half as much"
Manda: "thom it's like playing pin the tail on the donkey for the rest of your life"
Me: "Hitting the pinada will only be HALF as hard, now"
lollll we are terrible people
how must that texan man feel
Manda: he did it to himself, after ripping out the hearts of his wife and children
Me: omg what?!
PLEASE CLARIFY
Manda: i will find you the article
Me: omg... thom met this guy?!
Manda: NO
WORLDS APART
Me: LOLLLLLLLL OH
i thought you meant that thom met this guy in the army
who decided, one night, to rip his own eye out
AND EAT IT
and thom was AOK with this hahahah
Manda: no lol
http://news.ninemsn.com.au/world/717053/texas-inmate-pulls-out-own-eye-eats-it Me: i laughed at the introductory line lol
A Texas death row inmate with a history of mental problems pulled out his only good eye and told authorities he ate it.
"his only good eye"
Manda: i know. he's virtualy blind now isn't he?
Me: omg... now i get it
he had pulled out the other one before
He is insane and mentally ill. It is exactly the same reason he pulled out the last one.
Manda: dear lord, mental problems is a very loose term describing his psychological state
[brief interlude where amanda and i actually went deep and talked about our significant others and how much thom cared]
Manda: sarah
his car still has stuff i've given him over the years
what does that even mean?
Me: he doesnt want to forget about you
he likes keeping the stuff around him cause you gave it to him
plus he wrote to you from the inside, man
that means something
Manda: dude, you make it sound like he got sentenced to the can
Me: lol thats definately how i look at it hahahaha
i mean
the texan guy who ate his own eye!!!
thom probably slept in the same bunker as he!
Manda: hahahhaa
they ate each other's eyes as a gesture of goodwill
Me: "you scratch my back, i scratch yours"
and they sealed it with ritual bodily sacrifice
Manda: that;s kind of homo
so read this at your own risk. it's probably only funny to amanda and i... but i thought it worth a try to amuse someone else for a change!
