I think they'd tone it down a LOT, for one thing. And Tulip would be turned into a simpering babe. But I would like to see Cassidy onscreen.

I used to work in a hospital, and took care of a kid who tried this with a shotgun (he said it was an accident, but since the shotgun was pointing up into his chin, I doubt it). He ended up with a tracheostomy, 3/4 of his jaw missing, and no nose.

Supposedly the story of Arseface was inspired by the true story of James Vance. He and his best friend listened to the Judas Priest album "Stained Class" for hours and then attempted to kill themselves. His friend succeeded; Vance managed to obliterate the lower half of his face. The families sued Judas Priest (and lost). Vance died from a drug overdose years later.

The day before he did it we skipped class and sat right there in his truck in the schools parking lot smoking out and just jawing. I knew something was up but he was elusive. Next day he went out to the culvert and put a shotgun barrel in his mouth. 2 days later I half heartedly slashed my wrists. My Dad worked part time at the funeral home and brought me in to see my friends remains. Needless to say, I have never contemplated suicide again. This man found a new life, and from what I read on the flicker site he's not taking it for granted. On a side note I just spent the past hour or so looking thru all the photos. well not all, but i sure got caught up. Many of the pics reminding me how wonderful life is, and the others, of the unfortunates, how fragile it truelly is. I lost a good friend in high school this way.
