So many dead people....

[Matt]

Heard that too. I guess that 'Holy Grail' was one of his absolute favorite movies.

[Nathan]

He would quote Holy Grail while playing touch football.

they were talking about this on the radio this morning. Didn't they have high colonics back then?

According to the article, he needed a colostomy, but was far too embarrassed to have it done.

I wonder if this means that the turd found floating in the bowl behind him was just an extra tiny, sad, lonely little turd.

It certainly wasn't all the painkillers and pharmaceutical cocaine he was on that killed him.

I know, right?

But how do all the fried peanut butter and 'nanner sammiches fit in? The King was pounding those down by the fuckload, whilst shooting out TV tubes with his .44.

Well, if he had several months of poop backed up in his colon, I'm betting the peanutbutter and fried banana sandwiches weren't helping "move the mail along" if you catch my drift!

Shouldn't we have a thread for "Not ENOUGH Dead People"?

You know... like Justin Bieber, Sarah Palin, and Devin Faraci?

Just puttin' it out there, folks.

[Abraham Smashington]

Wait, I'm so confused. So he died from being backed up?

[Matt]

Essentially, yes. Death by constipation.

[Abraham Smashington]

Seriously? How does that happen?

[Ed Hocken]

Essentially, yes. Death by constipation.

All the more reason never to eat the KFC Double Down.

[Abraham Smashington]

I'm honestly trying to figure out how this would happen. Like if I didn't shit for a week, I'd be FREAKING OUT and guzzling coffee.

KILL THE INFIDEL!

[Ed Hocken]

Unless Rob was doing something funky, the Double Down caused him not to crap for four days.

Only time I ever encountered that was in high school where I didn't crap for a week. It felt like that one episode of King of the Hill.

[Abraham Smashington]

Yeah, the double down I had indeed fucked up my stomach for a few days.

[Lisa]

Seriously? How does that happen?

Well, not sure, but this part of the article:

According to his autopsy, Nichopoulos said, Elvis' colon was 5 to 6 inches in diameter, nearly twice the size of the average person. It was also 8 to 9 feet long, compared with the normal 4 to 5 feet

It sounds like, due to the constipation, maybe from all the strain, it sounds like it streched is colon waaaaay the hell out. If the waste wasn't going through it normally, I'm guessing maybe there was all sorts of bacteria and toxins backing up into his bloodstream. Our bodies eliminate waste for a reason. It sounds like it's similar to people who die of renal or kidney failure when their kidneys stop excreting urine - it just eventually poisons them. This sounds sort of like the poop version of that. Your body has to elminate waste, or it eventually poisons you.
