25-year-old Rory Curtis was driving along the M42 highway in Staffordshire England, when he was involved in a horrific six-car accident. Paramedics took Rory to Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, where, after suffering a brain hemorrhage he was in a coma. Miraculously, six days later, Rory woke up. Even more amazingly, Rory thought he was Academy Award winner Matthew McConaughey!

How crazy was that?

    That's nothing. We've a few members that wake up from a nap and believe that they're God's gift to the world.

      Claude was in a horrific accident and was in a coma for 6 months. When he woke up he thought he was Dan Riffle. That was until they shaved the beard off and he realized he wasn't as bright as he thought he was.

        Actually, When I first woke up, and saw that my muscles had atrophied, my stomach had become distended, I had catheters in my butt, and I was covered in baby powder...I thought "I must be Dan Riffle. There is no other explanation"

          No other explanation? I thought you just called that Tuesday.

          Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

            Everything except the catheter. When I felt it, I thought "Either Riffle did this to me, or I'm Riffle".

            After they pulled out the catheter, I stood up. I didn't have to look up at the nurses, so I know I wasn't you.

            Catheter humor. A new low.

          Frank,

          Pin this up somewhere in your house. I don't know if it will help but anything's worth trying.

              Frank...Sorry...Big Frank;

              The problem with the voices in my head, is that they won't talk to me. They never have. All seven voices in my head are completely quiet, and have never said a word to me.

              I've decided after several years, to simply ignore them in turn, and pretend that there are simply no other personalities in my head. But I know they are there.

              How do I know? Because if they were not really there, why would they ignore me? And why would that make me so angry?

              My worry, is that one of those voices is actually smarter than I am. What an elitist jerk.

                Claude,

                You have a VERY accommodating head. I'm sure there must be more than seven. I think we should be told.

                Well, actually, they were all smarter than you. I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but all the voices in my head used to reside in yours but they left, en masse, because they were not happy living in such a barren wasteland.

                At least here, they get to watch the cartoons that are projected onto the interior of my cranium, albeit in the sliver of space that is devoid of throbbing gray matter.

                Cheers. Big Frank and the gang!

                The voices have obviously come to the same conclusion we have. Ignore him and maybe he'll go away.

                    I have all 27 episodes. Some of the finest fetish work ever committed to VHS.

                    He also posted as "The Jolly Green Giant" Remember that epic thread where he was advocating the health benefits of sweet corn. It was deleted as it quickly degenerated into farce about the resulting toilet blockages.

                      Right. I have first-hand experience that the powers that be at this forum have a distinct lack of appreciation of poetry.
