Remember the guy whose girlfriend was stuck to the toilet? He won the lottery!
Boyfriend of woman stuck to toilet is flush after lottery win
The Associated Press

GREAT BEND, Kan. | A Kansas man whose girlfriend was physically stuck to the toilet in their home has won $20,000 in the state Lottery – for the second time this year.

Kory McFarren of Ness City cashed in his winning $2 Bonus Crossword ticket Monday in Great Bend. On July 29, the 37-year-old McFarren received six months of probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor mistreatment of a dependent adult.

McFarren called Ness County deputies in February to report that his girlfriend, Pam Babcock, had refused to come out of the bathroom for two years. Authorities found her stuck to the toilet.

Medical personnel estimated Babcock had been on the toilet for at least a month and said the seat had adhered to sores on her body. She was released from a Wichita hospital after several months of treatment.

10. it's the height of arrogance to suggest some deity or entity cares about us
We are a microscopic fraction of the universe. No god or karma judge is going to ever bail us out from our messes and they won't reward us for our goodness. Awesome things happen to assholes and douchebags all the time and unimaginably horrible things happen to the salt of the earth.

11. TWO YEARS in the bathroom?
The man called police on February 27, saying that there was something "wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said. McFarren has not yet explained why it took him two years to call for help.

Police said they found Babcock sitting on the toilet and that her legs appeared to have atrophied. She initially refused medical help and was reported to have been reluctant to leave the bathroom.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Kansas authorities have not yet decided if charges are to be brought against McFarren.

13. I need a volunteer.
Preferably female, non-claustrophobic and able to sit for long periods of time.
Oh, and two bucks for a scratch-off ticket.

I'm a wee bit claustrophobic but what the heck? I've got a stack of books I've been meaning to read.

16. I want a t-shirt that says "World Greatest Throne Dweller"
And then, on the back, I want it to say "They Shoot Throne Dwellers, Don't They?".

I mean, we're kind of in a depression and, well, if I'm going to do a marathon, I want something to reflect that.

18. Is this one of those minature webcams from the Mutant Cave Cricket days?
Or a new one? I think that's a great idea. In fact, that would be super cool. I could see what was going on in the other rooms. How sweet of you to want to give me some variety.

It's the Cave Cricket camera, but you won't be watching it. You'll be on it.

20. Like "The Truman Show?"
I want to say "no" but then I think about people like the Octuplet mom and Joey Buttafuco. I could use the money. I gotta think about this.

By the way, speaking of depression era marathons, do I can 5 minutes every hour to stretch?

You can stretch. I'll move the toilet paper further away.
