The statute does not prohibit one from having sex with a carcass," Anderson wrote.

It may not be criminal, but THAT'S FREAKIN' NASTY!!

*waves hi to Siuoxie*
I'm too tired to register today. Could someone please summarize?
Thank you. :)

It doesn't sound like our daughters have a lot to fear from this guy. Our livestock, maybe.
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 11:03 AM
Sex with a deer carcass pretty much sums it up.
Posted by: DavetheRed | November 17, 2006 at 11:03 AM
that's not a registration site for me, eleanor. sorry. i'll re-do it. or just read the UPDATE link :)
Posted by: judi | November 17, 2006 at 11:04 AM
Okay, a legal opinion citing Billy Crystal in the Princess Bride (GREAT movie!!!) is just too funny.
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 11:05 AM
Hi El!!!!! well..it's a warmhearted story about a man who allegedly had sex with a dead doe (a deer a female deer). The argument being it's not an "animal" if it's dead - it's a carcass!!! Soooo the good news is...one could have sex with a carcass and not hafta worry! cool huh??

So, what, necrophilia is okay up there in Duluth???!
I hope it wasn't Bambi's mother. Just sayin'.
Or father, refering to the other item.

CH - I love that reference too LOL PB being one of my all time favs...
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 11:08 AM
thanks judi, yes, the update said it all, along with Siouxie's fabulous summary.
I feel completely informed and ready to face another 80F day here in su.so.ca.
:)
Posted by: Eleanor | November 17, 2006 at 11:09 AM
You left out the part where this same person was earlier accused of killing a mare so that he could have sex with it.
D'ya think he's got issues?
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 11:10 AM
Nah, I know he's got issues.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | November 17, 2006 at 11:10 AM
"public fornication and lewd and lascivious behavior"
Doing this by the side of the road doesn't constitute any of the above?

El - we're in the middle of a cold front here in Miami - it was a FREEZING 67 degrees this morning!

Irony Alert!
'If you include carcasses in that definition, he said, "you really go down a slippery slope with absurd results."'
I think the defendant went down the slipery slope a while ago and is now in the valley of perverts.

Brainy got the key line, IMHO.
How many dead-animal-loving Minnesotans are there out there, anyway?

And I don't care if it's an animal, a carcass or a rotting log. You shouldn't be 'doin it' at the side of the road.

C'mon baby, don't just lay there like you're dead.
Oh.

No one will be watching us
Why don't we do it in the road
Whoops.

Siouxie, I think he's used to saying that line. It came too trippingly out of him.
Posted by: estrogen centrale | November 17, 2006 at 11:30 AM
True Love saved her in the fire swamp, and she treated it like garbage. And that's what she is, the Queen of Refuse. So bow down to her if you want, bow to her. Bow to the Queen of Slime, the Queen of Filth, the Queen of Putrescence. Boo! Boo! Rubbish! Filth! Slime! Muck! Boo! Boo! Boo!
After you've been a carcass for a while, slime and putrescence would be accurate.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | November 17, 2006 at 11:30 AM
First they have to be human, NOW, they have to be breathing??? What's next, consent? Sheesh!!

The misdemeanor charge carries a maximum penalty of nine months in jail and a fine of up to $10,000.
First he has sex with a deer. Now he's going to blow a few bucks.

Given the theme of today's threads, I am a little surprised that it wasn't a buck that he dragged off into the woods to have a party with.
NTTA - no, wait, there definitely is.
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 11:36 AM
*LOL* at Ford. HAHAHAHAHAHA. Good one.
Posted by: Brainy Jello | November 17, 2006 at 11:37 AM
Ya gotta love a public defender who backs up his argument with a Billy Crystal quote. No further references necessary.
Posted by: KDF | November 17, 2006 at 11:38 AM
Venison animal no longer an animal?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 11:39 AM
LOL Ford!!
uh..and then once in jail, his carcASS is in deep trouble ;-)

Truth is stranger than fiction...I am constantly amazed by what people will do.

Excellent one, Meanie!!!
Posted by: estrogen centrale | November 17, 2006 at 11:45 AM
If the legal definition of what is an animal ends when that animal dies, does this mean that I can tell PETA that I am not eating any animals at all when I eat meat? Does this mean that we are all vegetarians after all?
Posted by: Schadeboy | November 17, 2006 at 11:47 AM
Here's what this guy needs...
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 11:52 AM
Schade, I think your first question can be answered "Yes". But since we are no longer eating a live entity when we eat spinach, broccoli, etc., they are no longer vegetables and therefore NO ONE is a vegetarian!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 11:54 AM
so...we're just actually eating veggie carcasses?
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 11:57 AM
Can you imagine what this guy is going to go through when he gets to jail?
Inmate: So...what are you in for?
Deer banger: I had sex with a dead deer.
Inmate:
DB: It was on the side of the road, and the urge just overcame me.
Inmate:
DB: You know how it is, right?
Inmate: I was going to tell you to bend over, but I think I'll pass.

LOL CH and the freshly cut penis!

I'm taking a wild leap and guessing that Thanksgiving won't be at his house this year.
Posted by: Cheryl Howard | November 17, 2006 at 12:00 PM
Cheryl - if it is, I think the best advice I can think of is don't eat the venison.

Posted by: Cheryl Howard | November 17, 2006 at 12:02 PM
oh deer, what the buck?!
Posted by: crossgirl | November 17, 2006 at 12:03 PM
Stuffing the turkey at Thanksgiving at his house is probably a festive event.
Lord, I apologize.
Posted by: Hammond Rye | November 17, 2006 at 12:03 PM
In what I hope is an unrelated development, I just came across this photo from the world of pro wrestling...
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 12:04 PM
"stuffin the turkey"??
is that what they call it now?? or in his neckadawoods...
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 12:06 PM
Annie- It's almost 70 degrees in York, Maine today!!
I LOVE global warming!!!!
Posted by: Punkin Poo | November 17, 2006 at 12:07 PM
I think the fact this freak's name is out there for everyone to see is probably punishment enough. I mean, he will NEVER get a date with a woman after that.
But then, I guess that was the problem in the first place....
Posted by: Clark Kent | November 17, 2006 at 12:09 PM
No frozen toesies today for Punkin??
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 12:11 PM
Yeah, Clark, but it's only helpful if the deer and horses can read...

this is disturbing on sooooooooooo many levels. wonders if anyone (ch?) has come up with any fetish sites for people who enjoy the company of carcasses.
Posted by: crossgirl | November 17, 2006 at 12:19 PM
Geez, Siouxie, I thought I was sticking my neck out there, but.....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 12:20 PM
huh??
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 12:24 PM
C-Girl, without having ever looked I absolutely guarantee that such sites exist, in more forms than you would ever wish to imagine. The most unbelievable, unthinkable stuff has been dreamt of and put out there.
I learned that the day I stumbled across a site discussing the best ways to kill mice and freeze them for use in cocktails.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | November 17, 2006 at 12:26 PM
A mousetini please, shaken not stirred.

Posted by: Cheryl Howard | November 17, 2006 at 12:32 PM
When his co-workers and friends read about this, there isn't a chance this guy will get a date to the office Christmas party.
He's going to have to go stag.

CG, I may click on many varieties of ambiguously-labeled links, whether out of curiosity or whatever, I can guarantee you that this is one variety of site I've never come across.
Do I really come across as that much of a perv? Sheesh. ;-)
Posted by: Clean Hands | November 17, 2006 at 12:35 PM
i thought it was a permit that you needed to remove roadkill, not a pervert.
Posted by: crossgirl | November 17, 2006 at 12:36 PM
Anyone for Mousaritas?
Posted by: Hammond Rye | November 17, 2006 at 12:37 PM
Blue, I googled and the cocktail mice info was far too easy to find.
Oh. My. Freaking. G0d.

Siouxie,
If and when little blurkette ever gives me permission to go on a date it will definately be with a live woman. Although I may call her dear.
Now, I'll give you a headstart before I start shootin'.
Posted by: blurk | November 17, 2006 at 12:53 PM
um...I'll make sure to tell her Mr. blurk, sir.
Posted by: Siouxie | November 17, 2006 at 12:57 PM
Okay, maybe not a perv, but definitely sick. How do I know? Because this made me laugh out loud.
