mayhem, huh...

Brock and I share a special and unique bond. We have the same birthday, we both can spend hours and hours in pure heaven at the bar of Spruce, we both love a good "My dad ate my eyeballs" story...
Get a load of this!!!
"A Bakersfield man with a history of drug abuse remained jailed Monday after allegedly biting out one of his 4-year-old son's eyes and mutilating the other. Angel Vidal Mendoza, 34, has been charged with mayhem, torture, child cruelty and inflicting an injury to a child in the alleged attack on his son, Angelo Mendoza Jr. Bakersfield police said in a search warrant that the child told investigators "my daddy ate my eyes" and that Mendoza appeared to be under the influence of PCP following the April 28 incident. After two neighbors found the injured child in the apartment he shared with his father, witnesses told authorities that a man in a wheelchair who turned out to be Mendoza was in the backyard of a nearby vacant home hacking his own legs with an ax..."
I actually applauded Brock from afar, his finding this article online and immediately forwarding it to all three of my email accounts such a marvelous display of friendship. First of all, people still do PCP? Second of all, this is tragic, horrible, sad, etc., but getting charged with mayhem is kinda awesome. Finally, and normally I would let this speak for itself, but you've got to give the guy props for getting himself in a wheelchair before beginning to hack off his legs with an ax...
