Ashtanga 0 #3 November 7, 2005 He's asking for $3 Million in damages. I mean that's a little much don't you think? Who's to say they guy didn't grab super glue off the shelf and didn't do it himself for the money? I mean I would super glue myself to a toilet for $3 million dollars.

Rebecca 0 #8 November 7, 2005 $3 million. Seriously? He thinks rather highly of himself, doesn't he? Coulda been worse. He could have gotten himself glued NEXT to a toilet after a handful of chili dogs and coffee. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Ashtanga 0 #9 November 7, 2005 Home Depot offered him $2,000. He says it is an insult. He was on the Today show this morning with his lawyer and he was acting like it hurt when he sat down/moved, etc. He also had his own coffee mug with a website on it. He held it up the whole time so he could market it. Somebody probably payed him to do it. The guy is just after money. QuoteHe could have gotten himself glued NEXT to a toilet after a handful of chili dogs and coffee. He was in there for about a half hour before people believed him. I wonder if he played with himself while he waited for help? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kallend 1,649 #10 November 7, 2005 I always look before sitting on the seat, in case someone peed on it before I got there. Now there's an additional reason. Super glue can get very hot as it sets up - enough to cause serious skin burns. It sets by a chemical reaction which is exothermic. I really don't think this is funny at all.... The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It also sets very fast, fast enough that the possibility that someone else put it there and he sat on it before it set is pretty slim. I'd bet he did it himself.

Could be... but if you listen to the interview he has an explanation for it. This guys is looking for a lot of $$$ and the terrible, mean and vicious people at Home Depot are gonna pay Long, rambling interview video can be seen by going to the link I posted and its over on the right hand side."Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #14 November 7, 2005 QuoteIt also sets very fast, fast enough that the possibility that someone else put it there and he sat on it before it set is pretty slim. That was my thoughts exactly. Super glue dries in less than 3 minutes. I don't think Home Depot bathrooms get THAT much traffic. At least the mens stalls. And they guy just looks like a con artist. He has that look. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DrewGPM 0 #15 November 7, 2005 QuoteIt's not THAT funny but you have to find a little humor in it. It's only funny until someone gets hurt. This guy got hurt. With his history of heart problems, he could have easily died of a heart attack during this ordeal. Then would people be laughing about this? I would hope not. editted to add: If this guy did this to himself, I hope Home Depot sues him and pursues criminal charges against the guy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #16 November 7, 2005 We are not laughing at him just the thought of being glued to a toilet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jumper03 0 #18 November 7, 2005 okay, it was a toilet in the bath room.... I was thinking it was a toilet on display for sale... I was wondering why the hell you drop your pants in the store.

scaryshari 0 #19 November 7, 2005 This is a good point... He probably DID glue himself to the seat. Come on!! Really, you can SMELL Super Glue, and if you sit on something gross, don't you jump up and scream?? Is his butt just de-sensitized? PLUS Super Glue dries pretty quickly. Please... is Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #20 November 7, 2005 QuoteI was wondering why the hell you drop your pants in the store. Didn't they do that on Jackass? They went to a Home Depot or a Lowes and pulled their pants down and sat on one of their display toilets. Then got arrested. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I too find this suspect, but there are odorless CAs (cyanoacrylate, aka superglue) and slow-setting or "thick" CAs that don't cure quickly. Model airplane builders use them all the time. Maybe the man didn't notice any smell. Maybe the film of glue was so thin and level that it didn't appear to be anything on the seat. Who knows... Still, the dude has a case, he was injured, and if he's being honest, I agree w/ Kallend (miracle, ain't it?) this ain't funny in the least and home depot will likely be paying out the ass (boo hiss!) If it comes out he did it to himself, they should superglue his head to his ass. -the artist formerly known as sinker Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can assure you of one thing. Home Depot is going to retain some Dr's and a "Super Glue" expert for court. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goose491 0 #23 November 7, 2005 WTF should Home Depot be liable anyway? Makes me sick. This be one of the lousy freeloaders that should be burried deep in the ground. Useless to mankind, just ridin' coat tails and asking for handouts. It was the most embarassing moments of his life and what does he do about it? Cause a public stink. Lawsuit, television, radio and internet exposure. What an ass! My Karma ran over my Dogma!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ashtanga 0 #24 November 7, 2005 No doubt. The absolute MOST Home Depot should cover would be medical bills to get the seat off his ass. Nothing for stress and depression. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
