Quotes / Losing Your Head

"How am I still talking WITHOUT A FUCKING THORAX!?"

"Head back on the body when you're finished!"

"In Evil Within, you can get beheaded, and continue to play the game. I mean it's pretty cool that you can get beheaded in the game, and that's usually a death, like it usually kills you. But there are times, when it will not, and you just continue playing the game. It's particulary funny because, if like it starts to happen where you get beheaded again, it doesn't like, kill you like you don't have a head it's like, no, no head, blade can't do that, no head, stay alive."

Saint Denis interrupted the proceedings, his severed head preaching against the immoral spectacle. Guignol snatched the head and booted it into the wings, blowing a spectacular, swazzle-assisted raspberry. What was it about Paris and severed heads?

Why'd I have to go and get myself decapitated?
This really is a major inconvenience; oh man, I really hate it
Such a drag now
Can't eat, I can't breathe, I can't snore
I can't belch or yodel anymore
Can't spit or blow my nose or even read Sports Illustrated
Oh no

Why'd I have to go and get myself all mutilated?
I gotta tell ya, life without a head kinda makes me irritated
What a bummer
Can't blink, I can't cough, I can't sneeze
But my neck is enjoyin' a pleasant breeze now
Haven't been the same since my head and I were separated

— "Weird Al" Yankovic, "A Complicated Song"
