Teen Who Cut Off Corpse's Head To Make Bong Sentenced

POSTED: 11:52 am CDT June 29, 2006

ST. JOHNSBURY, Vt. -- A Vermont teenager has been sentenced to prison for breaking into a tomb and cutting the head off a corpse.

Nickolas Buckalew, 18, of Morrisville, Vt., pleaded guilty to two charges.

One was a felony count of intentionally removing or injuring a tombstone.
The other was a felony charge of intentionally disinterring and carrying away the remains of a human body.

Buckalew was sentenced to between one and seven years in prison and was given credit for serving 14 months while awaiting trial.

On April 8, 2005, Buckalew broke into a tomb, opened the lid of a casket and cut off the head of a corpse. He stole eyeglasses and a bow tie from the dead man. He then wrapped the head in plastic bags and took it home, The Caledonian-Record reported.

The teen reportedly told friends that he planned to leave the head outside to dry and would then bleach it, a police affidavit said. The witnesses said his plan was to turn the skull into a bong -- a pipe generally used to smoke marijuana. Buckalew went to an apartment where some of his friends were and told them that he had chopped off the head because he was bored, according to The Caledonian-Record.

The witnesses said they then went to the tomb to see the casket and saw that the lid was removed and the body in the casket was headless.

Morristown said that while executing a search warrant at Buckalew's home, they found a human head wrapped in bags, a necktie, a hacksaw, crowbar, garden trowel and two small parts of the damaged casket, according to the newspaper.

A psychiatrist has diagnosed Buckalew with mental health issues.

Dr. Philip Kinsler, a clinical psychologist and adjunct assistant professor of psychiatry at the Dartmouth Medical School in Hanover, N.H., testified that Buckalew "has always felt extraordinarily out of place" and that Buckalew said he tried to hang himself when he was a child.

After the incident, the victim's widow, the only family member in the area, was told of the vandalism.

"The widow was in shock," the chief of police said said. "She did not want any information. She did not want to know any details."

Buckalew addressed the court after his sentencing, saying, "It was a horrendous thing that I did -- what I did was appalling. I didn't think of the victim."

He went on to say he wants to get help for his mental problems.

He's been sent to a residential treatment program for juveniles.

Friday night lights

Do you have senior moments yet? I do boy howdy, this morning I did a fine job conditioning my face before I realized it's supposed to be on my hair. It felt great and if I didn't live in mortal fear of the zit, I think I might've gone with it.

Ever go in a club and think where everybody at? Well this playa was getting his hair did on Friday night, don't hate. Whilst waiting for the finest haircut $11.95 can buy I realized I had violated one of my oldest and most trusted rules. Always have reading material with you! Especially when you are likely to be waiting. Turns out I'm not the only Friday night success story waiting to pimp my look, and these suitcase pimps got here first. Sitting down I decide to tough it out, here's a coverless mag, looks like maybe People or Style etc. I pick it up and begin to flip through it, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman, flip Rascal Flatts, flip Dixie Chicks, flip Kenny Fucking Rogers!!! Why is this style mag so hayseed?! I look down in the lower corner where it says Country Weekly. Prior to this moment I had no idea such a mag existed, and now here I was holding it.

After my erm stylist was done working her magic, I walked over to the bookstore for a look around. New releases by business people everywhere. Not sure who buys these business books From the bunker to the boardroom-how I became CFO of a fortune five-o without missing a tee time by Chip Chazz. I have a feeling the successful business men didn't spend a lot of time reading dull books about business, they were busy making money. Undeterred I press on, here's a Playboy book what's up..oh it's the interviews, pity I've already read the articles over the years, I was finally ready for some pics.

I've finally smartened up and stopped buying every magazine that said how to have rock hard abs on the cover, here's a hint, it involves eating nothing but plain yogurt and doing sit ups til you puke plain yogurt.

Luckily I found my way to the graphic novels and Eastern religion sections soon enough.
Home by 9, livin' the dream, hard as hell like LL.

It's like I told you

Dear corporate America

If you are going to play hit songs of yesteryear on hold, don’t interrupt them over and over.

I call in;

Thanks you for calling Dingus LLP all of our representatives are busy please hold and the next available operator will answer.

It’s like I told you
only the lonely

Abrupt interruption!

Please continue to hold your call will be answered in the order it was received.

Only the lonely
Only the lone…leee


Ring ring

If you are going to let me hear the Motels while I’m on hold fine, let me hear it. If you are going to give me 3 second snippets of the song only to interrupt and remind me that I’m holding..wtf?

Yeah I know I’m holding fuck face, that’s why I’m singing ‘only the lonely’ by the Motels. If the music is nothing more than respite from your oh-so-on-message message, than use generic new age music. That way your repeated interruptions don’t break up the flow.

I think the problem is me, I’d rather listen to some spare Motels, or hell even Quarterflash all day than have you actually pick up the line. I wonder if I could work an 8 hour day on hold. What’s up with Robert? Dunno on an important call.

Ho ho ho it’s magic
ya know
gotta believe it’s not so
magic

Yeah sounds real important.

the fog of bs

Don’t fight it.

If you ever ask me to do anything, or wonder why I don’t ask you, remember you are up against OCD, and OCD usually wins out. I fight OCD and OCD always wins..sing it with me.



Where have I seen this guy.

Do you hate it when you recognize actors in commercials from other commercials? Hey that Sonic smart ass guy works at Midas, or man the Oh face guy is going to a wedding, I wonder if those are the same buddies he goes to Fridays with.


Axe man.

I got a free sample of Axe body wash, and I have to say not that bad..who knows maybe I’m an Axe man after all.

Moon and sand.

Do they still make Moonshine? Or has it been replaced by Meth? Is it still illegal?

Chef Douche.

In my early teens I would cook the most foul food concoctions. Pork and Beans are nothing without a few Bacos thrown in there, bbq sauce and why not minced onions. The results were mixed.


Happiness is easy.

I will never make you happy, and you certainly won’t make me happy. I think it’s a mistake to think someone will make you happy, or that you can do it for someone else. Face it we are all miserable bastards, and if we’re lucky we make each other less miserable.

In it’s right place

Everyone wants to sound like Radiohead but Radiohead.
