...if he was a vegetarian, would he be guilty of cannibalism?

OK, OK....that WAS a stretch.

Didn't I see a reference to papilloma? And, isn't there an MD amongst the Glumbert family who might chance to contribute some explanation/treatment/prognosis? I thought one in our midst claimed to be a doc...maybe I am recalling it wrong, but it was within the last month or two......?

Not sure about the doc, chaz. In any case, this should be on "Diagnosis: unknown" among the other weird anomalies on the Discovery Health Channel.

Here is the full Story. Its caused by HPV but the guy has a suppressed immune system so his boy is not able to deal with the virus like a normal person which is what is causing the abnormal growths

Well...passed right over this.

Now I do feel bad.

PHD,
Are you saying this disease can be traced back in his family Tree? Everyone should know their family Roots to prevent this from happening to future generations. How Wood you suggest he treat his condition?
1 year ago
I suggest sandpaper and Murphy's.

Actually, that is truly awful. This poor guy can't branch out into the community. We should really leave him alone. His family is obviously splintered over this whole thing.

What was his name again? Woodrow Barker?

Makes for a rough time wanking.... Even worse, the other guy was touching him without rubber gloves.....

The world watches the comments made on Glumbert. Why one would not have compassion for this guy surprises me very much. As I show this to my friends, they feel they want to help him, and they are glad his kids love him. The world today seems to be such an insensitive place. I am glad I am where I am and that I have the friends that I do.
1 year ago
Well now I feel guilty. You're right, we shouldn't laugh at this poor fellow. Conditioned response I guess.
1 year ago
Yea, I can start to understand how you might get the impression that some people here were not being very compassionate.

Well, Not me! Not anymore! Oh look there, the fire is dying down. and me here without any WOOD!

What's a guy to do?, Hmm... SNAP! I know! Be right back!

FAKE!! But still so funny!
For real tho, WOOD GROWING OFF OF A PERSON! NIGGA PLEASE!

All I need to do now is find a few more like him. For instance! A guy with Rocks growing off him. And another one with drywall growing off him!

Oh, Oh wait...Yes, And of course the one guy who affliction is he shit nails n screws while pissing Karnak roofing cement!
And then will have to find and help the poor soul that had the bad misfortune of being born continually dripping hot black coffee out his nose and donuts out his ears!

Then at last, I would have the big money making lumber n raw material outlet in the business!

Not to mention great coffee!

I would really like to believe you and chimp are two different persons!

SO, since I never saw an explanation on the mixup in cummin and your post back on..what was it Angry american, faces of fascism? could you redirect me in finding where that was explained , If you did indeed explain it?
I'm not certain.

RF
I don't know which vid it was on.
One of the Chummin group is a colleague of mine. I sent the Glumbert link to him some time ago, maybe even a few months...just for laughs as I know he would have some fun. It turns out that one of the people in there already had seen Glumbert. It really is no more complex than that.

The colleague and I are of like-mind in many respects. And that seems to be the only reason you and others have accused me of that alias. I haven't used an alias. It just dawned on me that it doesn't matter that some in here think otherwise.
1 year ago
O.k I'm starting to see what you're saying.

I did find it, and reread all through! the part where Chummins post has what appears to be(you)talking about chummin as a third party?

Now it seems to me like either chummin himself being,whatever! and trying to make people believe its you,

Yet if you look at it again, I hope you can see how it appears!

This person posting as chummin is not the person you sent the E-mail to is it?

To tell you the truth, I would like to believe this guy is not you!
1 year ago
I think Chummin is a couple of people.
That's what my colleague says...and from what I have read of it, it would seem so.

Glad you took the time, RF.
Now you can make fun of me for other reasons!
1 year ago
Yes! alright then, this I will accept!

I really must say this guy chummin does you no service in his taking your side!
You stand well enough on your own!

I Still think the whole creation issue is not a good thing for anyone to believe in! And then I will look forward to some better disagreements.

And yes I will save the insult ammo for that chimp! and stay a bit more lighthearted towards yourself!

You people making a mockery of this man should be ashamed. Do your research and find that he suffers from being exposed to a virus called HPV and has a genetic fault which magnifies this problem to the point demonstrated in the video.

To make fun of him makes you ignorant fool.

layguy..welcome
miter/camuck/stream /assface etc can't help it
they are idiots...

Thanks, layguy
I really didn't look into it, but I will.

Intersting, Chuck...The guy in the video is to be pitied, in part, on the grounds that he can't help it. Soooooo...WHERE'S THE COMPASSION FOR ME?!
1 year ago
You know What there Lateguy? sometimes I act ,or just plain tis an ignorant fool! So I went and looked up your HPV, and nothing about what I'm seeing in the video!http://www.cdc.gov/std/hpv/ Please tell me how this link relates to what Paul Bunyan has!
P.s I would be happy to retract my earlier statements if you can do so.

But telling me he has HPV ain't it!

Unless you're telling me he has ,and those are genital warts!? Then o.k!
But remember nothing of this magnitude has ever been recorded.

And one more thing if it is real,Well... IT AIN'T WOOD!!!!!!
1 year ago
Your right. This poor guy Lumbers his way through life bravely and people here poke fun at his misery. We should start a grass-Roots movement to Stomp out this kind of behavior. In fact, lets ostracize anyone who lacks compassion, unless of course it is a 'genetic' disorder like mine, then we should cry for them.
1 year ago
Isn't there anything that can be done to cure him? Or at least slow the process? I doubt there is anyone in the little village he lives in that could help, but hopefully someone will see this that would be in a position to offer some assistance. Come on Bill Gates, the Hilton's, Donald Trump, Oprah. Or some of the damn movie stars burdened with millions of dollars. How many vacation castles do they need, or leerjets? Or maybe a doctor could donate his services. Seems like someone, somewhere, could help out in such extreme circumstances. The poor guy.

Oh wait Its not WOOD! But I am sorry for being so callous and I'm off to ask Gods forgiveness !

Nobody really cares about guys with slanty eyes living in jungles thousands of miles away, whether or not they're covered in weird wood. America once tried to bomb south-east Asia into the Stone Age without too much compunction. This is just another Discovery Channel freak show masquerading as human/medical interest.
Glumbert is the place for inane, vaguely humorous, puerile and dysfunctional people to let off steam. Let's keep it that way and not go looking for commonsense or "compassion".
My face looks like an arse by the way.

your heart is also ugly
1 year ago
Come on arse, it isn't fair to lump all people into one category. Not everyone wants to bomb and kill, and not everyone wants to leap in and save. The majority are somewhere in the middle. And some of us do have compassion, even for strangers living in jungles.
1 year ago
OK OK OK Someone once noted that the most hilarious of humor involes someone getting harmed in some way....insult, degridatiion, embarassment, physical damage, etc. Here on Glumert are assembled all sorts, including soulless (very few), irreverent (a great many), intelligent (surprisingly, many), ignorant (some), uninformed (most all, generally), caring (I think the majority) and like that.

For the most part, humor is the first objective, but not always. Even when it is, someone might get the ball rolling in a particular direction, and others pick up on that theme, and extend it.

For our more critical, and moralistic posters here, I think that is what happened in this case. Albeit, there is a certain level of disbelief in the validity of this video that some might share, still, I'd bet most all posters whose attempted wit was, objectively, callous, would wish to be seen as merely ignoring the substance of the issue in order to make a "funny".

To sum up:

layguy and thailazar...lighten up. And wait a while before you judge...many who you condemn have expressed care and concern, and depth, in other postings at other times. (Now....there ARE a couple I'd like to discuss with you privately, as regards their relentless unruly ruminations...but that's another story...)

Hey Chaz whacha think? Mike Lowell in pinstripes! I told yea A Rod would go no where but da bronx!

Oh, and by the by I humbly bow my head to the Boston red sox.
The 2007 world series champions!
There it is Now I can move on w/ my life! :}
1 year ago
randal... I will be SO pissed if Lowell goes there...not surprised, just pissed! Lowell was thought to be over the hill when he arrived, and then he had a career year with the sox. I think the fans might donate the difference between the offers from Herr Steinbrenner and the Sox just to have him stay here...he's a real pro, in what he does, and how he acts. Wouldn't want to see the Yankees ruin that.

As for ARod....I had a dream that Lowell went over to the dark side, and ARod accepted an offer from the Sox much lower than market, just to mess with Steinbrenner's head...just a dream, but what would THAT lineup do to opposing pitchers !
1 year ago
Plus the 800 seats they added to Fenway won't hurt paying out any extra cash for these heavy hitters who believe they're worth it!

Also, it's funny how some people would think he's past his prime! Yet he turns 32 years young at the beginning of next season?

Lets see... who else of that age is getting a 10 year contract!...Or any contract for that matter!

If the sox don't give him that extra year you may not see him back next season. And if I were you, I would be really pissed as well!!

I just don't see them not resigning him for the 4 year tho.
Well ,we'll see!

LOL! I'm having a waking dream right now that we traded kei Igawa to the Sox for Josh Beckett and two from the farm club to be announced at a later date!LOLOLOLOL!!

....on the topic of believability, as someone already noted, how could he get his shirt and pants on over those huge ?growths? ?gloves? ?galoshes?.
1 year ago
Ok chaz, I had to go back and watch it again. The pantlegs look like they just might be big enough get over his feet, with a little strain, but could be done. His hands though, are so huge, don't look very flexible, and his shirt sleeves looked too small. It's a mystery. But I somehow still think it's a real condition he's dealing with. Unless someone with a warped sense of humor somehow convinced a small, third world village to go along with making a "spoof" video, and lucked into some very convincing actors and special effects team.
Also, enjoyed your insights further up. I have felt the same, but didn't possess the necessary skills to sum it up just that way! Good job, and I think I can safely place myself in the caring category, upon approval of course! I occassionally make a side trip into intelligent, irreverent, and uninformed. Oh, and once I was what could only be described as almost creative with my first publicly appreciated poem on the cat who should be a dog vid! Had a good time with that one.
I've gone off topic here, sorry. But I enjoy your posts too.

also randal, miter, mako, riza, chuck, canuck, stream, bill, adolf, and others. See? I've been around a little while at least. I can't keep track of who likes who, or who's arguing about what sometimes, but I like to read everyone, and like to respond when I get the opportunity.

Pretty straight forward Free, Randal, Pod, Mako, Riza, Canuck, Miter, Skid, Chaz, Cnp, Gymyg, UDB, and even Stream (although a little out there) GOOD. Camuck, Chuck, Throb, and other such alias monsters, not so much. Yes Chuck, I'll save you the trouble "You're an idiot". Never tire of that one. ;)
1 year ago
Hi bill. yeah, forgot to add skid and used. Sorry guys, (or gals). And chaz was the one I was talking to just prior, so I figured he knows I like him. I just wish I knew who was who sometimes. It isn't a burning quest, but I do wonder once in a while, who's cheating who here. There are times when I think the same person is answering himself, or herself, just to make it look good.
I'm not sure, but I got the impression that aceinyoface accused me of being a "fake", on another post, the drunk driving vid. IF he was talking about me. Not even quite sure. Sometimes it's hard to tell, cuz the posts skip around a little bit. People add one in, other people make comments, then a response might be a few posts down. I can assure you, one and all, that I am perfectly me, perfectly freetobe, no one else. I couldn't possibly come up with all the bull required to maintain an alias! Got kids, a job, a house, bills to pay, a life to lead. I just come here for a little bit of diversion from day to day details.
My best to all.

Held a generals rank
When the blitzkrieg raged
And the bodies stank
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name, oh yeah
Ah, whats puzzling you

When after all
It was you and me
Let me please introduce myself
Im a man of wealth and taste
And I laid traps for troubadours
Who get killed before they reached bombay
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, oh yeah, get down, baby
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, oh yeah
But whats confusing you
Is just the nature of my game
Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails
Just call me lucifer
cause Im in need of some restraint
So if you meet me
Have some courtesy
Have some sympathy, and some taste
Use all your well-learned politesse
Or Ill lay your soul to waste, um yeah
Pleased to meet you
Hope you guessed my name, um yeah
But whats puzzling you
Is the nature of my game, um mean it, get down

stream...as best I can tell, you're pretty much an honest person (I will always keep in mind my own gullibility, if not, outright and inexplicable naivete...at my age, I should be more suspicious. Anyway, I checked your link...and several others related to it.

Here's my problem: each and every site I visited recounted the story exactly the same...I mean, exactly the same words. In other words, they all had the same source.

OK....what was that source? I can't tell. Or more accurately, I ran out of interest and time before I could find it. But here's a list of references:

....a site called Telegraph (British)...which also featured "Woman, 102, strips for charity"....Chinese pan for gold in sewage"....New Zealand bars wife of
British man who moved there because she was too fat..."Man who had sex with bicycle sentenced"

Also there was, not necessarily in order, reports from...Cannibus Central, OutlawJournalism, NowPublic, Fuckfrance, Frostfirefizz...and others (I got tired)...and their reports were, almost word-for-word, identical. In addition to the odd topics I noted were: "Why gay guys can't climb Everest", "Tattoo Disasters", a story of the inventor of the vibrator, holy pancakes, and several pictures of a man-shaped tree.

OK...here's my thing: why could I not find a citation by Dr Gaspari himself regarding this astonishing issue? The only citations I reviewed all arose from the same report, and given the bent of those publications to report nothing but bizarre, if not totally unbelievable issues (I skipped the one about aliens), well....to that extent, there is a loss of credibility in what we are reading. Not necessarily false, just undermined by the shallow, and sensationalist nature of the reporting agencies.

Anyway, people are entitled to their doubts, I think, when the info is clouded, doncha think?
1 year ago
This is what I read Stream!

The condition began after Dede cut his knee as a teenager. The warts progressively spread across his body, due to a rare genetic fault that prevents Dede’s immune system from containing the growths. In time he lost his job, his wife, and was eventually unable to perform daily tasks, the Telegraph reported.

But now, an American dermatologist who tested samples of Dede’s blood believes he has identified the cause of the growths, called “cutaneous horns,” and has proposed a treatment that could save the fisherman’s life.

So let me play a bit of someone your quite familiar w/ Thomas!
I see it say ( the telegraph reported) Telling me no one there investigated this on their own!
Now I'm not saying anymore this is an outright fake, but I would need more proof then what I've been shown here!
1 year ago
This is a great exercize in what is knowable.
If the Telegraph is (a) using shoddy reporting or (b)-worse-making something up...then Fox is guilty of gullibility and shoddy reporting...ad I am guilty of gullibility.

I think I will err on the side of compassion.

I wish the level of scrutiny used by Chaz on this vid was used by others who proclaim "I know" where only "I believe" can be asserted.

I think riza is satan, and possibly adolf too? How'd I do riza? I might have missed some, but I think those two, yeah. Whoever adolf is, miss you, awesome skill, talent, and imagination.
Low IQ? No way. I would never believe it of you. As far as the "freetobe", I got it off a friggin T-shirt. Just liked the sound of it. I don't think it's too hard to figure out where the "1962" part came from. Never seen Tobey Mcquire.
I think I liked the freetobe because I have never been able to be that, "free". I am, just a little bit, starting to, at this stage in my life. I couldn't begin to go into all of it, but being 45, single, two out of three kids raised, financially ok, I am finally beginning to feel that I might someday actually be, "freetobe". It's what I strive for, and what I wish for everyone.

Question:
If this is real, how does he fit his "hands" into the sleeves of his shirt....the barklike growths are far bigger than the opening. I'd hate to think that this guy really has to deal with this. It'd be worse if this was a farce. Yet, looking at this, other video and stills, it makes no sense that he can get the shirts he wears over his root/hands.
Any ideas?

This massage is for Randlflagg. What kind of human being are you? You are the type of person who would pass by on the other side if you saw someone stretched out on the ground, bleeding to death! You are not human and yes there are oddities in this world that humans have no knowledge of. Yes it is hard to believe but I say never say that there are not things that we as humans will ever understand. You need to check yourself! Do you believe that there was an elephant man? Well he was real and history has proved it.
