What's the matter with Kansas? How about: a woman in western Kansas became stuck on her boyfriend's toilet after sitting on it for two years.

Single-link day-old Newsfilter with random editorializing? Well, while this thread is still around, I'll mention my favorite comments from this comment thread about the story:
"I think I'd have broken up with her."
"I wonder, for her, if this was more of an issue of making sure the lid stayed down"
"The boyfriend said to the woman "honey, I think you can afford this home if you have a huge deposit"
"But she can vote"

"The unfortunate thing is this truly is a case of two people, in my opinion, with diminished mental capacity," Whipple said.

Did you guys hear about that homeless guy who didn't change his socks for a year and they bonded/grew into his feet?

As a person from the state, I can tell you that there's far more wrong with Kansas than your shitty FPP.

Also, I might be giving billysumday the benefit of the doubt, but I think that his first sentence was supposed to be more of a jokey reference to the book than an actual criticism of Kansas.

I'd say it awesome! Two years at the toilet is like your best dream and worst nightmare at the same time.

I love bad threads like this. They read like open mike night at the One Liner Club.

From the Chicago Tribune:
McFarren, who works at an antique store, said he has been taking care of Babcock for the 16 years they have lived together. He insisted that he tried to coax her out of the bathroom every day. The home has a second bathroom.
Whew!

"He told investigators he brought his girlfriend food and water, and asked her every day to come out of the bathroom.
'And her reply would be, "Maybe tomorrow,"' [Ness County Sheriff Bryan] Whipple said. 'According to him, she did not want to leave the bathroom.'"
"Mr. Whipple's response to the caller: 'Please don't squeeze the Charmin.'"

"It's like that story about the woman who didn't leave the couch, and ended up fusing with it." *
