Reminds me of that old lawyers joke used to illustrate why one should never ask a question that one does not already know the ans to: An attny, defending a man accused of biting off a man's ear in a bar-fight, was interrogating a witness on the stand who claimed that he had proof the defendant did it. After admitting under cross that he hadn't actually seen the defendant bite the plaintiff's ear off, the defense attny couldn't let well enough alone, asking further: "Well, if you admit you didn't actually see my client bite the man's ear off, how do you KNOW?" To which the witness replied slyly: "Because I saw him spit it out." LOL.
(Story told by famous N.O. defense attny Jim Dyamond.)
Speaking of biting off an enemy's face and spitting it out, The Palestinian leaders we support are going to bite off the west bank and Jerusalem and not spit it out unless Obama says so.
Abbas is confident of victory if they do it before Obama leaves office.
Meanwhile Bloomberg is predicting food riots all over the country by the unemployed as soon as all the copper is gone.
What a fast turn around in prosperity the USA has been hit with!
OK, I'm not sure which is more fascinating: that you have a 'cannibalism' tag for your blog, or that you have so many prior posts that have used it. :-) ..bruce..

It needed salt.
The size of an EGG?
I am going to guess that really hurts.
The guy doing the biting and chewing wasn't on the list of the Meanest Players in Baseball was he?
Of course he spat it out. "The two men didn't know each other."
You only swallow if you know the man, right?
traditionalguy, probably tabasco too.
Why didn't Ann Walsh Bradley say the same thing? She could have plucked a few eyebrow hairs out for Tubbs to find.
In this case? Lucky it wasn't eye lashes.
How did eyebrow meet tongue?
Good thing he wasn't fighting Leonid Brezhnev.
He'd still be chewing (obligatory photo here): Super size it.
I guess the victim could be said to be a unibrow now?
Searching for the "added value."
Don't give the Protest Goons any more ideas.
You have bitten off my unseen eyebrow, chewed it and spit it out, Althouse.
It was during a fight, too.
This item is going to result in a lot of lowbrow comments.
Hair of the dog.... or somethin'
Reminiscent of the old story of one question too many in cross-examination (but there it was an ear).

It's the chewing that's interesting.

Love, true love, and showing off.

He loved every minute of it.
Especially the black leather corset and the thighboots.
With apologies to Robert Frost (and Bastiat), the unseen eyebrows not taken: You can stop now.
You suppose he was plucking his brows and like sawing the leg off the wobbly table, kept going?
That's why I bite off ear lobes. No hair unless it's an old man.
I am surprised the obvious question has not been asked yet: Did he taste like chicken?

I prefer nipple, but to each their own.
I guess he didn't leave a tip then.
"My husband, Lars Lindstrom, has a neurotic fear of swallowing a hair."
Name the character and show.

Butcher..you are correct. Johnny, tell him what he's won!
Did you ever wonder why Spam is so popular in places where canibalism was practiced?
Because in the end we love what mom used to make!
Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew.
But through it all, when there was doubt,
I ate it up and spit it out.
I faced it all and I stood tall;
And did it my way!

Besides, that was easy.

My bad, edutcher..I'm Catholic, what's my penance?
So am I.
Penance is 5 rosaries and a shot of the four bees.
Oh, this is The Chelsea Handler Show, thought it was Althouse - sorry
I pulled part of a guy's mustache off once. Boy did he scream.
