Yikes. Theme park rides scare me.

Amusement parks, I mean. Theme parks too, though.

That is one rich girl though. Probably a millionaire by the time the settlement is done.

(Not that I would trade any amount of money for my feet!)

Jesus fucking christ. I shoved my feet inbetween the cushiones while reading this.

A million. Psht. She'd better end up with a helluva lot more than that. I don't think you assume the risk of losing your feet when you enter an amusement park.

posted by amro 21 June | 22:17

One foot? Not so bad. The left foot? Even better! You can TOTALLY deal with losing your left foot. (I was thinking about that all day today, to myself amused as I painted the garage)

Both feet? Fucking OOF.

Do they even make prosthesis(s) for just the foot? I always thought it'd be like part of the shin gone too but no, just the feet.

High heels? No way. Flip flops? Nope.
Terrible.

We can rebuild her. We have the technology. Better. Stronger. Faster.

Is it wrong that I had to think a while about whether I'd rather have millions of dollars or my feet?

I picked feet btw.

"When I got up there, the lady she was just sitting there, and she didn't have no legs."

Wait. So she had legs?

Come on. Was it really necessary to quote the witnesses verbatim?

posted by ColdChef 21 June | 23:58

Yes, CC. That's what quoting is.

posted by Doohickie 22 June | 00:39

Fair enough.

Um. Did someone delete my comment in this thread? Or did I just imagine posting it?

posted by knave 22 June | 01:25

No one deleted anything, knave - I just checked. I do that a lot - think previewing is posting.

posted by iconomy 22 June | 01:37

Yeah, I do that too. It's a sign of old age.

*deletes dg's comment. Just to fuck with him.*

posted by taz 22 June | 01:54

Oh God, don't do that; I'm feeling fragile enough already. Hey, how come iconomy can see deleted comments and I can't? It's because she's prettier, isn't it?

posted by dg 22 June | 02:02

hm... no, I can't see deleted comments either. Ico is probably just honing her patented brainwashing technique by getting us confused and off balance. Soon we will all be submitting to her will. I hope she wills cookies!

posted by taz 22 June | 02:25

Haha.. ok, thanks gals. It wasn't a very important comment anyway.

posted by knave 22 June | 05:13

We can see deleted comments if we go to the thread via the 'edit' tab at the top of the super duper secret mod section... ;P

posted by iconomy 22 June | 06:57

d'oh. Seanyboy has added this (yay!). Before, deleted comments were always just completely wiped.

not that there's very much deleting of comments going on, guys. I might have deleted five or fewer in two years - and four of those would have been at the request of the commenter, for whatever reason. Usually because they let names and places slip out that they didn't mean to be forever google-able

Holy crap, I just saw a more recent article on this girl and the article said her feet were amputated ABOVE THE ANKLES.

Everyone knows that Superman gets his power by consuming girls' feet.
