Do you think he wrote "Moody was here" with a Sharpie while in the down under?

Let me jus say..
If my daughter told me there was a person in the pit at the toilet..
Well...
Im pretty sure he would be decomposing with the rest of the filth down there...

I spoke with my sister Wednesday night who told me about the story in the UL. I couldn't believe it. Just this past
Monday I had to use a pit toilet and I actually thought of this guy when I did! I checked the bottom to see if I could see anybody, quickly did my business, and left. I'll never be able to use a pit toilet again without thinking of this pig.

Imagine someone sitting in there, hearing a sloshing noise and heavy breathing coming from the void beneath. That would certainly close the sphincters and cut the urge short, not to mention the burst of wood and splinters as the hapless soul trashes the privy door during a lightning fast, half-naked exit.

An absolutely great vignette for some macabre movie!

This guy has a serious problem and he needs professional help. However, the humor is inescapable.

By the way, after his previous descent into the realm of sludge, did the authorities check with the wife (if indeed there was one) to see if she really lost a ring in there before the $700 excavation project was undertaken?

I found myself checking the date at the top of the paper to make sure this wasn't April 1st. This case elevates dumpster diving to a new high!

The story will undoubtedly and quickly make its way to the media across the country, including late-night television.

When I take kids out hiking and they go to use an outhouse, I always say "Peek before you Leak".

No knock on our wonderful neighbors in Maine, but I'm happy that when this hits the national wires (and probably beyond) I'm not going to be tooo disappointed that thought this happened in NH.... this disturbed fellow is from MAINE!
- Jack, Manchester

Since this repulsive act appears to be a trend, it's time for a new saying to be adopted into the English language. Unfortunately, it originated in NH.

"Dirty Glancing"
- Chris, Manchester, NH

This is news? The guy is obviously mentally ill. Nice headline for the UL. Maybe you could get a beat reporter up to the mental institute in Concord for some really good stories. Pathetic reporting.
- Jake, Manchester

We all know where they should send this guy! So why aren't we?
- kelly, Franklin NH

We laugh, but there is great potential that after he's excused (and he will be) his crimes will become more violent.
- TB, Nashua

Interesting to see an Ad for environmental toilets on this web page along with this article.. Looks like a nice toilet and all, but how is anyone supposed to stand inside it ? Its way too small
- Mike Easter, Manchester, NH

This guy is going to put the host of "Dirty Jobs" out of business.
- Mac Wade, Newmarket

Community service at a Waste Treatment plant would not be punishment for this guy. He would love it. This guy needs some serious help.. Who in their right minds would ever want to go anywhere near that gross tiolet pit.. I almost gag at the thought. I for one will certaining look before I sit thanks to this article.
- Lisa, Merrimack

Seriously, think of all the tax dollars that would be saved as opposed to trying to "rehabilitate" this nutbag.
This is a life choice for this guy-give him a shot at true love.
- Mark F., Houston, tx

To Mr. Collins: It may be possible to misunderstand something more completely than you've misunderstood the judge's approach to this guy, but I have a hard time imagining it.

Albee was quite clear out that the hapless women are the victims here, and that Moody merely deserves "compassion." Get over your bizarre fixation on "elites:" "compassion" is a pseudo-technical term for treatment; and that's exactly what she ordered.

Now, as if that wasn't enough, Albee also pointed out that "This court can exact punishment and disincentive to ever engage in this offense again."

What more would you like?
- Edmund Horvath, Portsmouth, NH

I'm really disappointed by comments in here. I mean, who hasn't lost their shirt in a porta-potty???! C'mon, give this guy the benefit of the doubt.
- Dan, Concord

OMG - Bill from Dunbarton, now I am completely creeped out. (As if this story alone wasn't creepy enough....)
- Kathy, Manchester

I wonder how many times he's done it and not gotten caught.
- Bill, Dunbarton

"Moody 'said no, and expressed anger toward society because of how he was treated after he was found in the pit of a national forest outhouse in 2005,'"
Awww Precious - I feel so bad for him- Really...

How about we express anger that we (and our children) will be forever wondering if we go to the bathroom in those bathrooms due to his behavior.

Oh.. And '"Moody stated that he took off his shirt and placed it on the seat of the outhouse because he thinks outhouse seats are dirty,"' ---- PRICELESS
- SMC, Henniker

There has to be a good job for this guy - cleaning latrines. Maybe a new tv series on Discovery called "Dirty Jobs." Oh wait...
- JOhn, Manchester, NH

So he puts his shirt on the seat as toilets are "dirty" yet he goes into the waste, on at least 2 occassions. Does he not find wading around in waste dirty? And even if is story was remotely true, why would you then put a shirt that was on a "dirty" toilet back on your body? Kind if defeats the purpose. Maybe this time he can get some community service hours ordered at the waste water treatment plant. What a nut.
- Phil, Laconia

Picture this, it's a nice sunny day you take your kids to the park. You need to go to the batroom so you ask your husband to watch the kids. You do your business and out from the depths of all that is nasty like swamp thing comes a big smurf with a urinal mint in his mouth.

This guy needs help big time. What gets me is he puts his shirt on the toilet seat becasue it's "DIRTY" but yet he will climb in the waste tank to retrive it. That shirt would be gone!!!
- Ed B., Hillsborough

This story is almost too wild to believe..

What a crackpot..

There has to be a better way to have your fun!
- Peter, Candia

He blew his chance. This guy needs to see some jail time.
- Marty, Manchester

Pure comedy. I remember when this happened the first time. My friends and I still joke about it. Classic!!!
- Jesse, Candia

What a bunch of crap! Dropping his shirt into the toilet and going after it. My gosh! Just leave it there.
- Jane Wright, Manchester

Why would anyone be surprised that this man is on the streets doing what he loves to do now that we've spent forty plus years weakening our justice system by merging it with the politically correct attitude of everyone is a victim except the real victim.

If we have any more state mental hospitals left maybe we can turn those into more offices for state employees also since it seems like we already those inmates in politics.
- Deb, Derry

I think he ought to be sentenced to 6 months community service at the Sewage Treatment Plant.
- steveW, nashua, nh

Jay Collins, you're onto something. The justice system no longer exists to protect us, but to use misbehavior as an excuse to let gadflies and social scientists take control of the misbehaving individual. The legislature, meanwhile, wrestles with how best to deny us our freedom so as to make misconduct physically impossible. And the correctional system doesn't correct, I assume, otherwise we wouldn't have offender registries. None of the above worked on Mr. Moody.

Fortunately, we know his name--as we would not if he were under 18--because public ridicule of ridiculous behavior, a real impact on his REPUTATION, is the punishment/deterrent that the kinder, gentler State of New Hampshire no longer provides.
- Spike, Brentwood NH

Man found lurking in toilet again.

If that headline doesn't say enough I don't know how else to explain this. Bizarre.
- John, Dover

Something about this story stinks!
- doug nash, bath,nh

That is a pretty crappy way to engage in peeping tom behaviors...
- Rick Olson, Manchvegas

Judge Albee was concerned about guess who.......not the poor women in that case. She was concerned about poor Mr. Moody. That someone will make fun of poor Mr. Moody. It's just outrage after outrage in this society, and nothing gets better. Out elites in entertainment, politics, law, and most of the social sciences are divorced from reality. Innocents suffer, and Judge Albee spends her time worrying about Moody's feelings.
