    Still trying to make sure it isn't some kind of a hoax. I mean what, did she sleep on the toilet? What did she do for entertainment? And why, why on a toilet???

    This obviously creates more questions than answers.

    I saw the news clip of this and it is very sad. It didn't seem like hoax. She must have had some sort of agorphobia issues or obviously some mental health issues. Her boyfriend was enabling her, but for 2 years! After even a week on the toilet, you think you would call someone.

    Hahaha, the sheriff's name is Whipple.

    After two years on the toilet, you -know- she squeezed the Charmin.

    Dude, you're showing your age now.
    All shrank, like boys who unaware,
    Ranging the woods to start a hare,
    Come to the mouth of the dark lair
    Where, growling low, a fierce old bear
    Lies amidst bones and blood.

    I don't understand this statement:

    "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."

    They pried the seat off of the toilet itself. The seat was stuck to her butt still when they took her to the hospital to have them remove surgically, I assume.

    I didn't even realize his name was Whipple. Now THAT is too funny!!!

    This reminds me of the Nip/Tuck episode where they had to remove a huge woman from her couch. He skin had actually woven itself into the fibers of the couch as it grew over time.
    Capitalization is the difference between "I had to help my Uncle Jack off a horse." and "I had to help my uncle jack off a horse."

    There is never a good time for lazy writing!

    I think that actually happened in real life. I saw it on one of the talk shows.

    I heard that her skin actually started to grow -around- the seat. At least, that's how my boyfriend explained it to me. Sort of like if you wore a metal band snug against your wrist and never took it off, your flesh would start to grow over it.

    I still don't see how anyone could sit on a toilet for two years straight, and why her boyfriend didn't call sooner. I wonder what made him decide to call when he finally did.
