Sheep Head Breaks Music Fan's Skull
AP ^ | March 10, 2003

OSLO, Norway - A flying sheep's head hit a concertgoer and fractured his skull at a concert of metal band Mayhem.

The band, part of Norway's death metal music scene, was carving up a dead sheep as part of its stage act when the animal's head flew off lead singer Maniac's knife and struck Per Kristian Hagen, 25.

The show was Thursday in Bergen, 487 kilometers (302 miles) west of the capital, Oslo.

"My relationship to sheep is a bit ambivalent now. I like them, but not when they come flying through the air," Hagen told The Associated Press Monday from his hospital room. "I have a headache now." He is expected to recover.

Hagen, a Mayhem fan, filed involuntary assault and battery charges against the band. The charges carry a maximum sentence of six months in prison.

Mayhem member Rune Eriksen, whose stage name is Blasphemer, said the incident was unfortunate.

"The whole thing was an accident, but maybe it would be an idea for another show," he said.

Eriksen promised Hagen a free ticket to the group's next performance.

Police detective Carl-Petter Leganger told the AP an investigation has started, but "nothing suggests this was a conscious act."

I suppose I could have nominated 'Nephew of an El Alamein Vet' as my screen name, but I would be uncomfortable with trading in reflected glory, in that way.

I chose my name because I'm proud of my dad's service, and I revere it. I don't think "glory" was on his mind on Iwo Jima, and it wasn't on mine when I chose my screen name - but this certainly shows where you dwell.

I know you won't reply, so let me leave you with that thought.

The only thought you're leaving me with is, "Oh yeah. I remember this guy. When he runs out of gas, he resorts to trying to use my own father against me."

I could have set my watch by it.

..pretty much anything that violates the Constitution of the United States, anything that violates my right to live free and not be bothered by nosy governments and people...

Have you ever made a post that actually reflects that view, Chad?

Yesterday you were here, upsetting those offended by mutilation of animals. Today, you're over on the partial birth abortion thread, upsetting those offended by the murder of foetuses. When is exactly is it that you put the provocation and disruption on hold, and display anything reflective of FR's values?

Hoo boy. "It's all about me", eh? It's not about using your father against you; it's about your trading on something of value, in order to elicit respect or deflect criticism. Remember Clinton, going into church, with his big Bible?

...then why are you over there upsetting FR's anti-abort crew, on what should be a a day (and a thread) of celebration?

This is a total mischaracterization of what's going on on the other thread, and you KNOW it. Like I said, you're a groin-kicker. You just demonstrated it in your reply to Chad.

It absolutely IS about you trying to use my father against me. You've done it before. You're not above it. The fact that you can't argue on the merits is not my problem, Byron.

Hmmm... I posted that I was glad to see this ban pass... Them choosing to get upset is THEIR problem... Once again, your ignorance shows loud and clear - I'm one of FR's Anti-Abortion posters... And yes, it IS a day of celebration for me... You, sir, are pathetic...

Chad: ever considered that, if you're continually upsetting people, the problem might be *you*?

Gee, Byron, you just COMPLETELY misrepresented Chad's posts on another thread, in what seems to me was an attempt to smear him and make him look bad to anyone who doesn't want to bother to track down the posts. What you did was clearly deliberate and below-the-belt, just like the other tactics you use.

You want to see a problem? Check the mirror.

So I've upset three or four people out of nearly 100,000... man, that DOES look bad... Maybe I should march in lock step with you, hmmm????

No, thanks! I do have certain standards, Chad.

However, if you're finally seeking a worthwhile role here, I'd first recommend laying off those for whom animal mutilation and abortion are serious issues. There must be plenty of other threads, suitable for your brand of zinger lite chat? Thanks in advance, Byron.

I won't take you seriously until you have suitably chastised each individual on this thread who made any cracks or jokes about it, mmm k?

So knock of the 'I'm calling you on this cuz you made a joke' crap - it doesn't fly in the face of the evidence...
