The methface of evil

If anything good came of Chaos, besides derisive laughs and pepperoni love, it's the video below. It comes from an extra on the DVD in which (former?) wrestler/Chaos director David Defalco bounces his pecs all over the L.A. County coroner's office. The clip below features coroner giving his theory on the link between meth use and demonic possession. Well, we'll call it a theory for now.

Before giving us his not-at-all explained theory, though, shouldn't he have revealed what the fuck he is smoking? Formaldehyde?

I have absolutely no experience with meth, so this news (we'll call it "news" for now) is hilarious to me. Meth allows you to fuck for, like, 36 hours straight and be a medium for demons? Is there anything that drug can't do?

[meeeeee]

yeah....i bet you that evangelical pastor can testify to that!

[Joe]

Now why didn't Nancy Reagan peddle this shit on "Different Strokes"? It would have saved a generation of junkies! David Defalco - yum. Post more of him, just for shits and giggles, Rich. He's dreamy. I had the unfortunate experience of being with a guy who was on meth - he was horny and unable to get hard. What a lame fucking demon!

[Michael]

He's being cautious, the consummate scientist. I'm sure we're only a few double-blind demon studies away from his "theory" being borne out as scientific fact.

[Lindsay]

So that's what happened to Fergie's face.

i found this website incredibly informative about meth:

http://www.lifeormeth.com/

i read everything on that page one day. i'm familiar with drugs and the harm that they can do, but after reading this page, i will never ever ever touch meth. it's a worthwhile webpage.

[Foxy]

I had a friend in college who refused to play with a Ouija board while stoned or drunk because allegedly "ghosts and forces" find it easier to inhabit beings who are in altered states.

[Gayest Neil]

I've made myself a Tyra Santeria novena candle, and I'm going to light it tonight and pray and have a two-hour cry for all the meth users out there.

[mariaaaaa]

This almost makes me want to see Chaos.

It's been a long time since I last, you know... The stuff that is around now is way stronger and different. Yeah, apparently it makes you ultra horny, but wanting to do it for 18 hours sounds like a bore to me. Quality over quantity I always say.

And this dude is a coroner? Don't you have to be a medical doctor to have that job? So wouldn't he be familiar with the hallucinations that the drug can induce, what can happen to your mind if its sleep deprived, what the ravages of addiction will have some do??? His conclusion is demonic posession? Really? Wow. I wonder if he has a theory on whether there's a correlation between demonic possession and one's blood humour.

[Ross]

It's all true. Fortunately, demons are repelled by industrial strength stainless steel chain, so just wear some around your neck. It's the new garlic.

[xnowhereboyx]

Apparently meth makes you really horny and removes any inhibitions but like someone said makes it difficult to have an erection which is why meth users end up being bottoms and having unprotected sex with strangers ergo the link between meth use and HIV transmission.

[Michael]

It's the new garlic. Ha!

[spazmo]

Brings new meaning to the term "gateway drug", doesn't it?

But actually, if meth causes impotence, how come every demon I've ever seen has a big honking chub-on? Pazuzu's gonna sue you for defamation, Rich.

True story: one time on acid I got possessed by a Kandarian demon from the Evil Dead movies. Fortunately, nobody got hurt, and all charges were eventually dropped.

[L.A.]

So I happen to know a thing or two about the LAC Coroner's office, and I can tell you that this guy, who is actually a rather cool guy, is an autopsy tech, not a doctor. He assits the pathologist during an autopsy by cutting, clipping, and sawing as needed, no PhD required. I'm sure he speaks only of his own personal theories and doesn't represent the L.A County Coroner in any way, etc.

[Ross]

To dispel some generalizations mentioned here, I will admit to meth use in my past (thankfully I got out unscathed) and I never had a problem getting a hard-on, nor did my partner at the time. I've heard all the impotence stories, but it's definitely not true in my personal experience.

[rustyspigot]

Sex for 36 hours? Huh? Really, I think I would be wanting a little snack break/bathroom break/get the hell away from me break and don't even look at me break.

[Agnostic Chance]

Ok Rich, let me switch hats here for a minute....

Let's suppose for a moment that hostile spiritual beings/ghosts/demons/things do exist and that they do enjoy instigating harm. (It's really not too hard to imagine if you try.) Now let's imagine one of these suckers is flying about, looking for a juicy soul to torment. Who would be the first candidate? Drug addicts and mental patients, perhaps, with their frequent and obvious delusions? Or young children, with their active "imaginations"? There is no question that drug use and mental disease go hand-in-hand with whacked-out brain chemistry. But who is to say that these altered states do not indeed make some people hyper-aware? Anyone who's done a little L can tell you that this may not be too far-fetched. And if people who are already down make very vulnerable targets for unscrupulous HUMANS, then why not spirits? People are quick to use "science" to scoff at the possiblity of the paranormal. But science has yet to prove OR DISPROVE the existence of ghosts or gods. And until that proof (either way) is forthcoming, I will not scoff or dismiss anything that COULD be true. Flat Earth, anyone?

[Emily Melrose]

If I were a demon, I'd want to inhabit someone hot. Methface in a 360 turn is still methface.

[Rich]

I hear what you're saying, AC, but all I can think is teapot. I think Richard Dawkins might have me brainwashed and I think I like it.

[Christina]

The only thing that ever happened to me when I snorted meth (and experience I never want to repeat mind you) was that I walked around my apartment complex with my top off and I took a shower (non-sexually) with two other girls. My gay best friend (who provided the shit) went down on a girl (see, that's worse than being demoniacally possessed), but I just exposed my breasts. If I knew demonic possessions could have been part of it, I would have done more!

No, in all honesty -- that guy needs to spend some time away from dead people. Autopsy tech or not, he's clearly been around that stuff a little too long. Sadly, the shit coming out of his mouth was more entertaining than almost any horror movie I've seen in the last five years.

[Whatthe!?]

My biggest question is why as a coroner/lab tech, whatever he is, why does he comment on the toxicology of things?

Is he saying that he looked at the killer's toxicology or the victim's? Most killer's aren't caught at the scene of the crime so he has no basis for what their toxicology was at any given time except for presumably death.

All things considered this guy is whacko!

[spazmo]

Shit, Whatthe!?, that's a good point.

You gotta wonder how much longer this whackjob (nice guy or not) will be keeping his job...

[Kristin]

What I really want to say is that the current "I'm gonna be on fourfour" banner is my favorite you've ever made. I'm from Indiana.

Sometimes, some people - usually newbies - when they use meth, stay up just a little too long...and start seeing/hearing things - e.g., the FBI may seem to lurk on the roof of your neighbour's house, those bushes you're walking beside may have attained human qualities, Satan may reveal himself to you in a dumpster....it's called a bad sketch, and is scary only to those who are actually in it.

To everyone else - it's just incredibly irritating.

[mariaaaaa]

Hi Agnostic Chance, and everybody! I want to throw in my two cents... I believe that some people are more sensitive to energies that may be flowing out there. What these energies may or may not be I won't speculate, but just knowing what I know about meth, I think the demon sighting and possession talk can probably be chalked up to no sleep and chemically induced hallucinations.
My friend's abuelita used to say "Son tus pecados que te dan miedo" (sp!), which means "Your sins are what scare you". She'd say that if one of the kids was spooked by a scary movie or afraid of the dark. So yeah, I think that guilt, fear and some existential dread also play into it as well.

[Vanessa]

WTF is Chaos? Yes, let's call it a "theory." For now.....

Why's come doesn't anyone who is in power get possessed and start a war? (Dubya does not count.) How come they don't possess Wall Street and crash the stock market? What is the point of possessing a stinky crankhead? The Devil is such an underachiever but I've known that ever since that movie where he got his ass beaten by Winona Ryder.

For reals though, possession is the new UFO abduction.

[Agnostic Chance]

From a personal pov, I really have to agree with you, Mariaaaaa: I really do think most paranoid delusions have more to do with our own characters than anything else. Your friend's abuela was right, and we can see that the people who are most suspicious of others usually have the most to hide themselves. You can run from everything but yourself, que no?

And your point is well taken, Rich. In a court of law, there are rules that make who has the "burden of proof" very clear, but in armchair philosophy, whose door does the burden fall on? BTW, this really is one of my favorite websites of all time. You are one of a kind.

Whether or not you all want to believe it, there is an existing spiritual realm that we cannot see. Why is it you can read a science text book but you can't read the Bible. Do you realize that almost all of the predictions in the bible have already happend? You blind people! You don't see it now, but one day you will even if you don't want to. I use to hate hearing about God or the Bible until I actually began to apply it to my life. What is so wrong with that? There is nothing in the Bible teaching us to be immoral or unhealthy. It is a book about good health and good measure. Good deeds and blessings. What is so wrong with that? For all of you reading this and judging me, I dare you to try it. Most people in the world take the easy way out. They don't want to live by anyone's rules. They want to do what they want to do. They live for themselves. Humans are the most greedy takers of all species. We are slowly driving ourselves out of existence for want of more. Better cars, better clothes, more toys for the kids. We waste. We take and take to the point of unappreciation. We are a dying race. I thik it's time to start focusing on the Bible and humbling ourselves to our God. He is maker and creator IT IS A FACT!!!! There is too much truth in the Bible to even try to deny it. You go ahead and turn the other cheek, you alone will pay dearly in the end. I believe what this man says about meth. I have been studying it deeply because I hurt for users in this world. I hurt for them because I know it could have been me. I have hurt tremendously in my life and I could have chose the same path. I did to some extent, but have no experience with this drug. I 100% believe that meth users open doors for demons. When people use meth (or any other drug) they use to escape reality. It pulls down any inner strength we may have. It makes us not care so why wouldn't it be easy for deamons to take over our souls. DO YOUR FRIGGIN' HOMEWORK AND STUDY THE BIBLE!!!! If you don't, you are being very careless with your eternal soul. Think about it man! Eternity in Heaven with no pain, worries or troubles, or eternity in hell with the very deamons that are at work here on earth. If you decide to look into the Bible and PRAY out of sheer faith to God, pour out your soul to him and ask for WISDOM, he will give it to you. But you can't quit. You have to make a committment to Him. I pray right now for all you readers that you will direct your feet towards Him. He saves, and He loves you more than anyone does or could ever love you here on earth. I wouldn't type this much if I didn't care. Please don't post a bashing response, respect the fact that I cared enough to write such a long message, that I LOVE enough to take the time. God bless you.

[lhasagirl]

Wait wait wait... Is that the same shannon from ANTM??? cuz I remember she was a pretty religious lady...

And Im not bashing you. Im just gonna say that you have your beliefs, and others have other beliefs. I apprietiate the fact that you are trying to look out for your fellow man, really I do.

I just don't have much to say right now, but I guess it doesn't bother me. Basically nothing seems worth thinking about. Nothing notable happening these days. Shrug. Not that it matters. My mind is like a void. I've basically been doing nothing , not that it matters. More or less nothing going on. I guess it doesn't bother me. Not much on my mind.
