HACKENSACK — A man who stabbed himself repeatedly in front of police — and then threw his skin and intestines at them — remains in critical condition Tuesday morning, police said.

Police said they got a call at 10 p.m. Sunday from someone saying Wayne Carter, 43, had a knife and was threatening to hurt himself.

No guts, no gory.

I’ve got this gut feeling...

[dixiechick2000]

Does it stick in your craw?

[Slings and Arrows]

I suspect bowel play.

Assault by Hari Kari?

You can even MOVE after inflicting something so excruciatingly painful on yourself?

What was he on? I want some next time I go in for surgery.

NSFW?

Not suitable for wimps?

The bottom line of the movie is “That which kills you makes you stronger”, though they never quite get around to explaining why.

Isn't it “That which DOESN"T kill you makes you stronger”? There's a song out like that and it makes more sense.

Colon Bowel?

I don’t like him.

[Slings and Arrows]

Nah, he wouldn’t have the intestinal fortitude.

[dixiechick2000]

He certainly didn’t have the guts.

“That which doesn’t...” is the original Nietzsche (an aphorism from the book Twilight of the Idols, and, as some have noted, swiped from Goethe, a hundred years earlier); but in Story of Ricky, every time the hero is grievously injured, he recovers without a scratch, and every time he is apparently killed, he gets even stronger.

I think about the only other time that motif has been used is in Dragon Ball Z.

In any event, especially when a little tipsy, Story of Ricky is hilariously bad, including the infamous scene where a giant bad guys makes another man’s head explode by clapping his hands together on either side of it.

It achieves that rare artistic goal found in the old EC horror comics, of “so horrible that it’s funny”.

I bought one Zombie book and my husband thought I was nuts. It was fun reading. I need to get another one.

World War Z?

A crime that carries its own punishment, one would think. But you watch - some legislator will come up with a new law based upon this incident, and 50 years from now, folks will be scratching their heads as to its origins.
