Real-life scary, tragic and/or grossing experiences

[Tigger]

I went towards they guy. The guy they had been laying into turned out to be Lozz.

What am I missing here?? Who's Lozz? Other than Lozzer I can't think who you'd mean and of course he wouldn't have been being beaten in an alley 20 years ago?

I was wondering that, but I was waiting for an edit of some sort ...

Me, too...

Feeble attempt at joke which does not seem to have worked. Also inappropriate for this thread. My bad.

Absolutely no worries there, Rum.

I've seen lots of animal stuff but the above was largely horrific because he just wouldn't die.

A guy came over to me one time with his hand over his face. He said, "I think I have a bloody nose." I pulled his hand away and saw he did, indeed, have a bloody nose. But the cause was that he'd taken a round through the transverse nasalis area, removing most of the nose. When I told him what had happened his rapped off a dozen or so rounds and then stuck the barrel of his Mattel gun to the wound, cauterizing it. He almost fainted from the pain, but about three minutes later he was back in his position, firing rather blindly because of the tears.

I never saw any mad shit like that

Charlou - there was no chance of him living, none. It would be impossible to not want it over.

He got an implant after the war, and I called him "Tycho". I don't think he had a clue what I meant by that.

Most wouldn't.

He sent me a pix, 'round about '78, of him with a long screw through his nose. I used to think of him as "The Father of Punk".

This reminded me of a book, Gawdzilla.

I heard a legend that it was the first one that Hitler's goons ordered burned. All Quiet on the Western Front. I would recommend it to all, but I think you wouldn't get as much out of it as I did.

It was required reading in a class I took, a mixed undergrad/grad level class on WWI. I find "diaries" interesting, and "first person narratives" nearly as much.

Sorry, I was in agreement with you, and about both the extended suffering of the horse and that you were in such a helpless and hopeless situation.
