Dear Alex,

Maybe there are different versions out there...I could have sworn I saw Qentin's name on the screen. I will say this though: apart from the gratuitous gore, the plot actually held together quite well (better than most body parts anyway) and actually led to a reasonable resolution, which I quite liked.

Hugs,

The Stoat.

Tarantino was an "Executive Producer" on Hostel, and the film was a "Quentin Tarantino presents..." feature.

So I understand why Stoat would think it was a QT flick.

Dear Mousepod,

Thanks for clearing that up...which is exactly what the stage hands would have been doing for days..weeks..months after !!!

Love and hugs,

The Stoat XXX.

Though I can think of several gravity methods that would get the trick done.

I am occasionally disturbed by the amount of thought you put into these kind of things.

Like I've said in the past, while I've never come remotely close to committing suicide, I do think about it several times a day. My own death fascinates me. I can't see a high cliff without wondering what it would be to fall off it. A anthill without wondering how it would be to be eaten by army ants. A copse of trees in a twilight park without considering a violent mugging that leaves me mortally wounded but with enough life left to wander somewhere and die dramatically in the arms of a friend.

I find it really odd to think that there are people who don't think about such things all of the time. I think about good things too.

Maybe I just think too much and too fast.

I think about those things sometimes, too. Not a lot, but sometimes.

Well, as this IS the WTF thread, this comment won't be out of place:

They say that Mr Phyall was "vulnerable". This is the same guy that had a fully operational chainsaw in a unit. I'm glad that I didn't try to sell him Girl Guide cookies or Nutrimetics.

It listed the possible cause of death of Mr Phyall as ‘complete transaction of the neck’.

Naahhh...that couldn't have possibly been the cause. Had they said "complete transaction of the bank" I'd have cause for concern, 'cos my bank never gets it right.

An ambulance service spokesman said: ‘We were called to an address in Bishopstoke to reports to a “concerns for welfare.”

Well, when the caller said "Mr Phyall had lost his marbles" they weren't whistling Dixie (and neither, it seems, was he). On a scale of 1 to 10, I'd rate this an 11 in terms of "concerns for welfare".

I'll be heading off now...

Don't go losing your mind over this story. It just isn't where we want this thread to head.

Hmm, would a thread asking for everyone's "Overly Dramatic Suicide Ideas" be too wrong?
