‘Halfy’: Half-Headed Man Behind This Unbelieveable [sic] Mug Shot Explains His Injury

The Blaze ^ | February 16, 2012 | Jonathon M. Seidl

[Slings and Arrows]

The picture is shocking and unbelievable.

Last year, a mug shot surfaced showing a man, picked up on suspicion of soliciting a prostitute, with only half a head. It was taken by the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s office:

And it’s not a hoax.

Now, the man behind the photo has surfaced again, this time explaining how he got his injury.

[Slings and Arrows]

Pix at source...

...damn.

[Slings and Arrows]

A pessimist would say the head is half-empty; an optimist would say the head is half-full.

[MrEdd]

Thinking with his little head instead of his half a head.

[PGR88]

Amazing what comes up on FR after midnight....

[sockmonkey]

It’s my bedtime, and I fear if I look at the pix, I will not be able to sleep my usual, fairies, pixie dust happy pictures sleep...
Even just the title of the thread may ruin my slumber.

[Slings and Arrows]

Come over to the Dark Side. We have cookies.

[Slings and Arrows]

My work here is finished.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Eeeeew, I agree. Im not going to look either

[Slings and Arrows]

The wrong head got halved.

[LukeL]

You think that plastic surgery would be easy in this situation.

‘’This is what I do daily: burn a stake,’’ which is slang for a joint.

[Slings and Arrows]

Or just stick in a valve for a bicycle pump.

[Slings and Arrows]

Obviously a philosopher.

[LukeL]

If I had half a mind...

[Buddy Sorrell]

You’d think he could just put on a baseball cap.

[Jonty30]

There was a Simpson’s episode on this.

The cause of Homer having half a head had to do with the devil turning it into a donut.

[Slings and Arrows]

...you’d be a liberal.

[Kickass Conservative]

Just looks like a Liberal after you take the hot air out his skull. Not much gray matter left after you do that.

[Slings and Arrows]

I hate it when that happens.

[Outlaw Woman]

I know you head up the ping list for the kittehs...how bout starting a ping list for ‘weird stories & stuff’ :) and please add me. lol! We need a thread like that don’t you think?

[21twelve]

I’m not going to look either, but I wonder if a mirror and some super glue and/or duct tape might take care of the problem?

[Slings and Arrows]

I have one: It’s called the Not-A-Ping-List, and you’re added.

[Outlaw Woman]

Oh good! thank you.

Love weird :)

[Slings and Arrows]

Just remember: You asked for it. ;^)

[Misterioso]

A good comb-over would be the ticket.

[ReneeLynn]

Not as bad as I thought it would look. You would think they could have put a plate or something there to lift the skin. I don’t understand why they didn’t.

[ReneeLynn]

ps. Isn’t he more of a ‘quarter-headed’ guy than half? That’s not half his head.

[Prospero]

"One of us... one of us... one of us"

The Blaze sure is coming up in the world, they're not advertising whores or anything...

[Outlaw Woman]

Had I known that there was an actual ‘ping’ list for all things weird...I would have axed to be added a long time ago! :)

[Slings and Arrows]

Consult Donald Trump - stat!

[Slings and Arrows]

I’ve been thinking about that myself. My best guesses are 1) that the resulting hollow would be a great breeding ground for anaerobic bacteria and/or other parasites, and/or 2) since the procedure was purely cosmetic his insurance (probably Medicaid) wouldn’t cover it. Just guesses, mind you.

[Slings and Arrows]

They lack the gravitas of the Weekly World News.

[SgtHooper]

Izat what Rush looks like with “half a brain tied” behind his back!?

[Slings and Arrows]

I’m pretty sure that Rush doesn’t burn blunts. Pretty sure.

[Kirkwood]

If it were me, I would get a prothetic skull made and then have fun with it. You could:

1. Put a little trap door in the side and randomly pull things out while talking to someone, like little birds or loose change.

2. Make a prothetic that looks like an exposed brain. I would also make it throb. Then go into a pharmacy and ask for the aisle where they have something for a bad headache.

3. Instead of a fake exposed brain, it could look like a bunch of circuits. Then ride around on buses and tell people you are a robot from the future.

4. You could have a real arrow go through the prosthetic. When people tell you to stop fooling around with that old gag, you could pull out the real arrow and watch women faint.

I bet he tells the barber, “A little off the top...” (I hope he pays half-price for a haircut.)

[Slings and Arrows]

If you ever get half your head lopped off, you’re set.

[Slings and Arrows]

He’s the proud inventor of the concave bowl cut.

[patriot08]

Saw that story the other day on Daily Mail On Line.
If anybody loves the weird, DM is the place for it. LOL

[Daffynition]

WWBD?

[Cincinatus]

And amazingly enough, it has not affected his job at the Democratic National Committee at all.

[Vinnie]

Saved for later

[ZinGirl]

Good God....you could serve soup out of that.

[edpc]

Explains his injury? It's quite obvious.

He suffers from severe depression.

[liberalh8ter]

They look like all Obama supporters should look.

Thanks for the link. After scrolling through the index - found the guy.

Ugh! He could wear a prosthetic wig - but it seems he likes the attention.

[goat granny]

There are 2 different guys...One has his skull concaved and one of the poster made the remark that when he goes out in the rain, he must get a puddle on his head...Not bad pictures (I am a nurse and have seen much worse) but don’t know why they cannot put a plate in his head to give it a better shape.....

[whatexit]

Shoulda only ordered one scoop...

[patriot08]

Or at least a cap or hat. I think you’re right; he likes the attention.
