Well, it's not entirely clear whether or not they're conscious, but there's definitely some movement and shaking and physical reactions, long after the head has been severed. This is why so many people every year have to go to the ER after playing around with the heads of snakes after they've been just cut off. The snake will still bite a few minutes afterward. If you hack at a snake with a garden hoe, it does this weird dance thing once you've broken it's back, and then it dies.

Okay, but does the body of the decapitated person move too? Thrash? Ambulate? Run around like a chicken with its head cut off? I would assume that it does, for a few moments at least. And that's gotta wig you out in an elevator, no?

My answer to the question -- head or body? -- is "depends on the body." If I'm gonna be traumatized, I at least want the option of getting some trim if the body is depose-able.

And to respond to the obvious, I imagine jaws can clench tight in rigor mortis or whatever. Plus, I mean, ewww.

Several dozen times. Los Angeles has large numbers of legal poker rooms, most of which hold low buy-in daily or weekly tournaments. Here, it's about 90% amateurs, though the amateurs are such fixtures around the poker rooms that they're better categorized as semi-pro. It's a great way to play poker for a few hours for a fixed amount of money ($40-$100 usually, including rebuys).

Even if you could get over the blood and gore and absence of the head, I believe that after that kind of trauma the body would not be deposable (for most people), for reasons that I do not care to express (hint, hint).

I put the re: line in there for a reason. And put a lot of filler fluff from the front of the article to ease you into it.

Ok, so if I'm reading fast, I often skip re: lines. Must be a carry-over from when the font for them was like 4 point. In addition, though the stuff at the beginning might have been tame for you, it was too gross for me.

Of course I was kidding about the spoiler space. I realize I have an eggshell gore sensibility. I couldn't even bear to read the little blurb on the drill bit guy that was foisted upon me in a public place today. This is the main reason I am not Dr. Casesensitive.

You seriously underestimate the potential effect of "I can tell my friends I did it" on ... well, y'know (wink, wink).

Plus, have you ever heard a guy respond to the question "what's her face like?" with "I'm not even sure she had one"? Just imagine the, um, boost from knowing that I could be the first person to say that truthfully.

Throw in "fucked her brains out" for good measure.

There is always the option of skullfucking.

Interesting opportunity to paraphrase the old "only with a bag on her head" joke into an "only with her head in a bag" joke.

Well, no. But some cost more than others.

Thanks for the concern. Actually the hypothetical corpse banging doesn't bother me. Just true stories involving actual gore. Difference between Return of the Living Dead and a snuff film.

I am up to 8 participants with a couple of promises for more. So I think we can safely say that breasticle day is on.

Remember, I need all pictures by tomorrow at midnight.
