At least he’s honest

Master of claw machines? That’s hilarious.

[-] TheBat@lemmy.world 39 points 10 months ago

Meh. John Oliver told me anyone can buy skulls or bones of the deceased if they donated their body 'to science'.

[-] wrath_of_grunge@kbin.social 25 points 10 months ago

i feel like paperwork comes with that kind of stuff. like the kind of paperwork you could show to clear up the nagging question of why and how you have human skulls around your place.

the skulls themselves aren't particularly suspicious or a crime in and of themselves, but it does raise questions. the kind of questions you probably want paperwork for.

[-] Zirconium@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

There's not much paperwork involved for buying a corpse so I dunno about skeletons

[-] SasquatchBanana@lemmy.world 5 points 10 months ago

There is transaction, place of purchase, delivery if there is, etc. Plenty of paperwork that can clear anyone.

Now, if it is all done in cash, in a nondescript place, and with an unknown delivery method... super sus

And to be fair, the odds of an investigator or forensic pathologist asking to see the darn thing are greater than zero. In fact, you could be saving someone the trouble of exhuming a whole coffin, just by having the thing lying around.

Well I guess no one can say he is faking the persona. Definitely not a poseur

[-] NoStressyJessie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 31 points 10 months ago

Awe.... The songs are fake :(

[-] MyDearWatson616@lemmy.world 23 points 10 months ago

I assure you Hammer Smashed Face is a real song.

[-] NoStressyJessie@lemmy.blahaj.zone 7 points 10 months ago

I'm actually a fan of Cannibal Corpse, I saw the songs I didn't recognize and got excited. Turns out there was a new album out though, so it's not all bad.

What are the circumstances in which the skulls and guns were found? police warrant? (What for?) Post mortem inventory of his estate?

So yeah, Collecting guns is a thing people of means do in the US for fun when they're not keeping them around for hunting and dissuading vermin. And skulls can be obtained for a variety of reasons. (I had a set designer with six-plus skulls he'd use as molds for dozens of plaster skulls when he needed them for film settings.)

Unless he's committed an actual crime, or even just needed a license for collecting guns in his county when he had none, this is essentially reporting a celebrity likes the wrong kind of porn.

"In December 2018, The Tampa Bay Times reported that the guitarist had called relatives speaking about extraterrestrials arriving and "the rapture," before his house burned down. As the headline states, the investigators found 80 firearms (50 of which were shotguns), weapon parts, and the three skulls. O'Brien had broken into a neighbor's home with a knife, where he was later tased by an officer. His house caught fire shortly after, and explosions caused by ammunition made it difficult for firefighters to put out the fire."

He had, indeed, committed a crime. Not a gun (or presumably skull) related crime, but a crime nonetheless.

Oh dear. That presents an actual problem.

I'll still give him the benefit of the doubt that there may be some justification for a knife and a break-in. It seems unlikely though, and in that case, yeah, maybe he shouldn't be trusted with bunches of guns.

The whole danger to self or others thing is a common limit.

[-] Blackout@kbin.social 17 points 10 months ago

I got 3 skulls in my house right this very second.

[-] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago
[-] debil@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

Pathetic. I have a skull as a house.

[-] Honytawk@lemmy.zip 2 points 10 months ago

You guys all suck, I have a skull right inside my body.

[-] Raxiel@lemmy.world 4 points 10 months ago

Same here, unless the cat snuck out and took his with him

What the hell even is an evisceration plague? How do the bacteria somehow remove ones internal organs?

[-] seathru@lemm.ee 26 points 10 months ago

In the song, it's a disease that causes people to get all stabby.

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 11 points 10 months ago

Well that's pretty fuckin metal

[-] Pat_Riot@lemmy.today 6 points 10 months ago

Death metal titles, man. They have one called Fucked With a Knife.

[-] ChildEater@iusearchlinux.fyi 2 points 10 months ago

I prefer Alestorm's "Fucked With An Anchor"

They've only been saying it all along, Sherlock.

[-] HakFoo@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 10 months ago

Three skulls is hardly "full of skulls", unless he lives in a 90-square-foot Manhattan closet.

This is just like those liars at Keebler with "full of chocolate chips" all over again.
