[Yuuki Kurosu]

[Anime Forum]

[Marshmallow Fluff]

He must've bit really hard to get the guy's nose off.

[Red&Stiletto]

EW! Why aim where the boogers are? And actually bite it OFF? What is he a canible? Thats disgusting.

[Cotaku]

Oh. Um...Gosh. That is creepy how he could even do that. o_o
I'm wondering what he's gonna look like if they can't reattach the nose...

[Miyukara]

That is..... really disturbing....

Perhaps the one guy was very hungry?

[Han Solo]

Woah...
Hungry, what a cannibal.
o_o
That's a bit...Disturbing.
People are crazy these days, but I think he partially did it to get attention.
That, or he's sick in the head.
Because it did seem as if he was bragging about it, so he must've been proud.
And why be proud ?
Because he got attention.
But that's just crazy !

[Perpetual Specter]

Wow, thats pretty violent. Why would he go for his nose though? o_O

Because that part of the face is easy to bite? o.o;

Still, that's a pretty weird thing to do. It makes you wonder what the world is really coming to. It was even more odd that he was bragging about it. O_o;

[Diocletian]

Nose tastes good.,Try it with face and you got a meal.

[kaori_tenshi]

ahh only in america. just kidding.

People these days are crazy -_-

I couldn't imagine my nose bitten off o__o

[Mayonnaise-Senpai]

*gags* Thats disgusting! *touches nose* Ow! He must have been so angry to have that much force and power to bite of his nose. Ewww! *freaks out*

[sataned]

lol what a fool... no true man spits out HIS REWaRD! after a victory!
i wouldve pulled out meh knife and taken his scalp TOO! woOt!
did this idiot wait for the cops to arrive or something?

[keezy.]

That's... gross...
They did all of this at a resteraunt too...
[If a fast food place is considered as such]

*Shivers* just picture eating while a guy spits another guy's nose out...
Gah, just the thought! >.<

[╬Karami Mew~Meow]

That's hilarious -ish ... and, ya ...waaaw -.-' A burgur would taste alot better than a nose ... x.x'

[daft]

Hmmm, it was probably karma. Tommy Easterling did something bad to someone else's nose when he was a child; therefore, he had it coming. - sarcasm*.

[Mysti Queen]

O_o Eww! WTF? That's so crazy and disgusting. And to bite the nose off, what force! What teeth! He's crazy...just crazy...and he probably is a cannibal, since he was bragging about how it tasted. Yuck...psycho...

[Souji Seta]

Wow, that really happened, wish I was there to see it.
But why the nose though? why not just punch or kick the guy he was "at war" with? At least that'll be less of a problem when the police arrests him.

[*.:Endless Sky:.*]

Oh wow, poor guy. That probably wasn't a very good day.

"At war", huh? He really DOES belong in a padded white room somewhere.

[Dxon]

Insanity.

[███]

I blame it on Burger King.

[Amray The II]

Now any normal person would have just apologized for a crash between cars..maybe have a little row with eachother and then maybe take it to court, or maybe the person behind would pay for damage......but biting off the victims nose? Issues. It would have just made more sense if he were to poke the guys eyes blinding him and then taking that to his advantage.. but biting his nose off? ....why?
