Kansas Police: Woman Pried From Boyfriend's Toilet After Sitting on It for 2 Years

[aussie_mum]

This could never happen here as the redbacks and the snakes usually make their homes in our primitive outhouses...its safer to spend as little time as possible on the loo here

My pop (grandfather) has been bitten twice by redbacks in a thunderbox out in his goldmine in the 80's. One time it was on his butt..... 2nd time was a little further around to the front.... Both times he drove himself to the hospital and only got there with minutes to spare!

Sorry. My jest was unclear and so it didn't work.

I wasn't talking about the psychology of Kansans. I only meant to suggest that there is so little to do in the state, one might as well stay in the bathroom.

I figured maybe it was the only place where you could be safe from the wind! Dang, but that's a windy state! At least along I-70 where we've camped, etc... Last fall when we were trying to open our popup camper, it turned completely inside out and my husband said, "Well, I guess there's a reason they set The Wizard of Oz in Kansas!"

Just explaining the first thing that popped into my head when I read that.

I must confess that I've been known to spend extra time in the bathroom. When my kids were little, that was about the only place I got to read. I read tons of books in 5-10 minute increments, depending on how distracted the kids were and the -ahem- business I needed to attend to. I even belonged to a book group, we were all young moms and we joked that we did all our reading on the john. We called it "The Ring-Butt Club."

I hope the lady is OK. Have they released any more information?

Well, to someone who grew up in Kansas, a day with very little wind is strange. You just know a storm will blow in within a day. I feel ill at ease on the rare days when there is no wind to speak of. You grow to love the feeling of the wind on your face. (Come to think of it, I prefer to sleep with a fan on low, or a window open with the sweet breeze coming in across/along me in the Spring.) And, watching a rainstorm out in Barton County can't be beat! You get a panoramic view of Nature's Fireworks! It's awesome!

It depends on your interests. If you like birdwatching for example, the area I grew up in is a *VERY* nice place to live. Cheyenne Bottoms is an Internationally acclaimed important wetlands preserve. Wichita has plenty of things to do, and so do Hutchinson, Topeka, and Kansas City to name a few. You just have to be willing to travel to do things in Kansas I guess. (And, yes, sadly with the cost of gas this isn't as possible unless you and friends split the cost and carpool. )

KatK, don't pay any attention to me. I was born in Newton, but had the good sense to move to another state when I was 7-weeks-old. (Though I later spent a summer in Lawrence and loved it!)

Come to think of it, my very Kansan mother does spend a lot of time in the bathroom. I'm sure she'd say it has something to do with having three, very large children, but maybe there's a regional pattern that should be explored.

Your Pop sounds like a true blue Aussie Am.....a goldmine and two redback bites makes him a very special Aussie:blowkiss:

You know, I've been thinking about this poor woman every time I go to the bathroom. LOL I think these questions have been asked before, but they need to be answered. Where did he and other guests go to the bathroom?

If she was "stuck" to the actual toilet seat for almost 2 months (can't remember if that's fact or not), then she couldn't have gotten up to open the door to get food, etc. He would have had to bring it in, as well as toilet paper etc. Oh, I guess the door could have been by the toilet... Anyway, what about his showers or baths?

This whole thing stinks, IMO.

 

[Jules]

It's gruesome to think about, but if she was, indeed, stuck to the seat, there would be no way to...utilize...the paper, if you get my drift.

Ewwwww ewwwww and ewwwwww..... oh, so gross! That bathroom (and woman) had to be F U N K Y... :sick: :sick: :sick:

That sounds reasonable!

Maybe she had a bidet, otherwise known as a "fanny fountain".

 

[ShannonOhara]

man...i bet it was rank in there.

I wonder how they un..attached the toilet seat from her .

 

[Taximom]

Adnoid, thanks for letting me know there were 2 bathrooms. I think I knew that yesterday! Early Alzheimers here.

Ohhh, ShannonOhara...can you imagine being the lucky doctor or nurse given that job? They've probably seen worse though!

Fanny has a different meaning here

 

[mammasweets]

one article said the smell from the bathroom was awful and apparent as soon as they stepped into the trailer. Very unsanitary. I doubt they had a bidet in a trailer.

 

[Eire]

I can imagine the coin-toss or nasty game of rock, paper, scissors that happened before the doctor or nurse went in to remove it. Don't know why, but an image of JD from Scrubs came immediately to mind.

Heck, my butt falls asleep after fifteen minutes. That's usually my cue to wrap it up.

Nothing like trying to walk downstairs with your butt and both legs completely asleep...

BWHAAA, HAA, HAAA!!!!! ROFL!!!! What a visual that puts in my mind!

Come on dingo, fess up! We all want to know what it means! :waitasec:

Recently it has come to my attention that I need to take a class in "Aussie-lingo"!

Here you go Anita, I looked it up:

ETA that link doesn't seem to be working but just google "aussie slang" for your tutorial. In the meantime, fanny = vagina

 

[dingo]

Thankyou Utopia...saves me the trouble of explaining its different meaning.....root is another word that has an entirly different meaning here aswell

OMG- Yes, Aussie-speak is much different than American slang. I learned my lesson in the art of translation when I went down under. This thread has gotten funnier everyday. Although it is a sad, yet serious situation, you all should see any other forum out there- I'm sure that this one will be talked about for years to come! :crazy: :crazy:
