CULTURE: My Beautiful Left Foot

It's your foot and you can do what you like with it. That includes keeping it in a bucket of formaldehyde on the front porch after you've had it amputated.

It came to the attention of police after a call from a parent whose child reported seeing the severed foot. Officers who went to the home late Saturday night found the foot, and some of Rubottom's friends, but no sign of Rubottom himself.

Unsure of what to make of the unusual discovery, police confiscated the severed foot and put it into evidence storage.

"We had to make sure that no crime had been committed," Sgt. Dan Ward said.

Some people might be thinking that drugs are involved in this story somehow.

Rubottom, an artist, recovering methamphetamine addict and occasional hip-hop master of ceremonies,

This isn't just a foot in a bucket though. This is art.

After a friend picked up the bucket at a hardware store, Rubottom added several objects as well as the severed foot - including a porcelain horse and can of beer - to make what he called "a collage of myself." He also cut off two of the toes, saying he was considering giving them to friends.

What the hell do you say to someone who has just given you a pickled toe?

You want a toe? I can get you a toe. Believe me. There are ways, Dude. You don't want to know about it, believe me. Hell, I can get you a toe by 3 o'clock this afternoon. With nail polish.

Hm. I wish I could say that is an original idea.... But I think Damien Hirst did it better with his dead animals.

I suppose someone has to say
"thats toe-tally disgusting!', right?

Or to be even more obscure..
"Gwot! I ate it!"

Blue ribbon to whoever gets THAT reference.

According to 'The Conduct of Polite and Educated Gentlemen Confronted with Unique and Particular Situations', published by Meyres and Water, Prague, 1756,

When presented with a severed or amputated portion of the body one is expected to offer thanks as would be fitting if one were to receive a poem, signed manuscript, or piece of sculpture. At the earliest possible convenience one should dispose of the offending flesh and remand the original owner of said part to the care of the nearest asylum.

Hmmm...
If I ever lost a foot (or leg) I'd want a replacement like Nikopol's in Immortel
