Boyfriend of woman stuck to toilet is flush after lottery win

GREAT BEND, Kan. | A Kansas man whose girlfriend was physically stuck to the toilet in their home has won $20,000 in the state Lottery – for the second time this year.

Kory McFarren of Ness City cashed in his winning $2 Bonus Crossword ticket Monday in Great Bend. On July 29, the 37-year-old McFarren received six months of probation after pleading no contest to misdemeanor mistreatment of a dependent adult.

McFarren called Ness County deputies in February to report that his girlfriend, Pam Babcock, had refused to come out of the bathroom for two years. Authorities found her stuck to the toilet.

Medical personnel estimated Babcock had been on the toilet for at least a month and said the seat had adhered to sores on her body. She was released from a Wichita hospital after several months of treatment.

[proud2BlibKansan]

5. Well they are in Kansas

My state, and I can assure you we have plenty of dumb Palin lovers here.

[leftofcool]

2. Never under-estimate the power of crap

3. now who in the hell still says that they believe in Karma??

a misdemeanor? He let his gf sit on the toilet for that length of time and it was a misdemeanor??
jayzus!!

He wins more money in the lottery x 2 than some make in a year. argh!!!!

[ret5hd]

4. Maybe karma is getting him to o.d. on vicodan.

[Gwendolyn]

6. Maybe he's using some of the money to get her psychiatric help?

That would be the karmatically correct thing to do.

[onethatcares]

7. maybe he should use some of the money to get his own

psychiatric help. That would be the intelligent thing to do.

[Not the Only One]

10. it's the height of arrogance to suggest some deity or entity cares about us

We are a microscopic fraction of the universe. No god or karma judge is going to ever bail us out from our messes and they won't reward us for our goodness. Awesome things happen to assholes and douchebags all the time and unimaginably horrible things happen to the salt of the earth.

[dana_b]

12. exactly!! well said. n/t

[ProudToBeBlueInRhody]

8. He probably spends $100,000 a year on them to get back that much

Idiot.

[peekaloo]

9. ".....flush after lottery win"

nice!

11. TWO YEARS in the bathroom?

The man called police on February 27, saying that there was something "wrong with his girlfriend," Whipple said. McFarren has not yet explained why it took him two years to call for help.

Police said they found Babcock sitting on the toilet and that her legs appeared to have atrophied. She initially refused medical help and was reported to have been reluctant to leave the bathroom.

"We pried the toilet seat off with a pry bar and the seat went with her to the hospital," Whipple said. "The hospital removed it."

Kansas authorities have not yet decided if charges are to be brought against McFarren.

What's the matter with Kansas?

[evlbstrd]

13. I need a volunteer.

Preferably female, non-claustrophobic and able to sit for long periods of time.
Oh, and two bucks for a scratch-off ticket.

[Mabus]

14. Do want cash or will a money order do?

I'm a wee bit claustrophobic but what the heck? I've got a stack of books I've been meaning to read.

[evlbstrd]

15. Hell, I'll take bottle caps.

If you behave, I can put internet in there.

[Mabus]

16. I want a t-shirt that says "World Greatest Throne Dweller"

And then, on the back, I want it to say "They Shoot Throne Dwellers, Don't They?".

I mean, we're kind of in a depression and, well, if I'm going to do a marathon, I want something to reflect that.

[evlbstrd]

17. OK, you get the shirt.

But you also have to agree to a webcam.

[Mabus]

18. Is this one of those minature webcams from the Mutant Cave Cricket days?

Or a new one? I think that's a great idea. In fact, that would be super cool. I could see what was going on in the other rooms. How sweet of you to want to give me some variety.

[evlbstrd]

19. No, no, no.

It's the Cave Cricket camera, but you won't be watching it. You'll be on it.

[Mabus]

20. Like "The Truman Show?"

I want to say "no" but then I think about people like the Octuplet mom and Joey Buttafuco. I could use the money. I gotta think about this.

By the way, speaking of depression era marathons, do I can 5 minutes every hour to stretch?

[evlbstrd]

23. Now you're thinking.

You can stretch. I'll move the toilet paper further away.

[Mabus]

25. Gawd I miss you, you sck bstrd y.

What's my cut?

[evlbstrd]

27. Cut?

[Mabus]

28. You know.

Percentage. Take. Share.

[BuelahWitch]

21. You could probably make more than 20 grand with the webcam alone

Just have her smile and waive and do a Sharon Stone "Basic Instinct" move every so often...

[Mabus]

22. I *thought* you were my friend

Besides, we all know how this is going to end and ain't gonna be pretty.



:rofl:

[BuelahWitch]

29. There's no prob unless you only have one bathroom...

:hide: :rofl:

[Mabus]

31. Who's side are you on?

You and evl have been plotting since I left Kansas, haven't you?

[evlbstrd]

24. Excellent suggestion.

Mabus, are you paying attention?

[Mabus]

26. No

Because I don't pay attention to, nor hi-jack- innocent sub-threads.

[BuelahWitch]

30. I DO expect 10% of the take for giving you the idea to charge for the pottycam...

:woohoo:

[proud2BlibKansan]

32. And I will gladly hold the money for you guys

You need an impartial 3rd - or is it 4th - party.
