Maine Chainsaw Romance 1999 Darwin Award Nominee Confirmed True by Darwin
(5 July 1999, Maine) An internet romance blossomed then faded, after a Missouri man traveled to Maine to meet his destiny. In a bizarre merging of "You've Got Mail" with "Texas Chainsaw Massacre," James swung a chainsaw and severed his own neck, in a futile effort to prove his love to the woman who had spurned his face-to-face romance.
He began his relationship with "Beth" over the internet a year ago, and moved from Missouri to Topsham, Maine on June 23 to further the affair. Instead, she insisted upon ending the relationship. Distraught, James drove to her house on River Road, knocked on the door, and asked her adult son to get his mother. The son refused and locked all the doors. James pulled a chainsaw from his trunk, stood on the lawn, and performed his macho act in a vain attempt to impress the depth of his feelings upon the woman.
Police arrived to find him barely alive. "There was blood all over. I couldn't see where the wound was," explained William Robbins of the Sagadahoc County Sheriff's Department. James died in the hospital shortly thereafter.
Debra, a friend of the deceased, believes that "Beth" abused James' affection. "He spent thousands of dollars on calls, email, computers," she said, "and also helped that woman pay her bills." Debra received a desperate phone call just hours before he took his life. She reported that he begged, "Tell me you forgive me." She did, and then the phone went dead. She attempted to alert authorities but had insufficient information regarding his whereabouts.
James had attempted suicide five years earlier, and had seemingly recovered his equilibrium. He purchased the chainsaw in Maine a week prior to his sensational death.
One last oddity: James has two brothers also named James, and the three are distinguished by middle names. Is this clear sign of parental lunacy a coincidence, or the cause of his insanity? You be the judge!

...you mean Missouri sent him up to Maine? ...and THEY kicked him out? Well, they ain't ALL crazy, then, are they?
O.P. - if you don't get it together pretty soon - next stop = California!
I heard a rumor there's 3 or 4 people up in Maine all named "Old Paint" -- all somehow related. Question; if you had a cousin that was booted out of one state and booted out of that one as well -- is that what's meant by "Twice Removed"? Just askin'

"The Beans of Egypt, Maine" I ordered this book from Amazon. It costs 1 cent. O.P., this had better be good...I have a feeling I'm going to get what I paid for, and it's written in O.P. Spelling.

I'm abashed and apalled and ashamed of all of you = nonbody suggested that a Full House of George Foremans beats 'em all.

Well Mike I guess I know a full house of George Foremans would beat them all. But after reading your post of this guy, I have to say he is a Zip Damn Fool I've been hurt and treated like dirt, had to get up and dust my self off, but hell if I would do any harm to my body or even think of destroying myself over some dame. I think I would go over to Stiff Nipples Air Conditioning first and see who's the proprietor.
