To the tune of "I'm Sexy & I Know It":

I sit down on the toilet
And this is what I see
A velvet-antlered buck
Staring at me

He's a little upset
And he ain't afraid to show it, show it, show it
He's watchin' me poop
And I know it

You don't eat bacon?

Ouch. All those hotness points lost in one fell swoop.

I love bacon - but no, I don't eat it.

I'll just have to take the hit on the hotness points ...

Well if you were to rub yourself with bacon grease, you ... nevermind :blush:

Does Llama School close for snow?

Messing around on GooglEarth this morning I came across this, outside South Bend, Indiana:

Studebaker (spelled out in trees) Proving Grounds

That's cool. Looks like they still use the track.

I also found a Tasmanian version of Berta from 2½ Men.

You can continue not caring for him, because he didn't do it.

original picture and a bunch of other photoshops here:

Damn.

I think I prefer to believe the Russians 'shopped his fingers out, then said "This is original picture."

Thanks.

Who knows? Maybe they did.

In Soviet Russia, they don't shop your fingers out, they chop your fingers off.

You're thinking of the *other* mafia, the Yakuza.

Gesundheit.

Friend of mine once suggested that the next step in body art would be the amputation of fingers. I held out for branding.
My new BF - and expert in all things Manga - pointed out that the Yakuza already severed digits. When I say new BF, this was back in 1995.

Haven't heard of any branding yet, 'cept that done for media reasons by hardline veggies.

Weirdly, I would love a brand.
I've never burned myself except by accident, but I've burned myself plenty. And my skin heals so slowly (even before my liver issues.)
Received wisdom is that if you have a tattoo you want anoter one. Not in my case, although I've considered an anchor for Bri - hope being an anchor.
But I'd rather have it branded than drawn.
I guess it's a matter of cost - they'd have to make a branding iron for each single person.

there are places that do branding, and other types of scarification body art

There's been more than the odd geek that's used a LASER engraver to do custom branding/scarification. clicky

I've burned myself accidentally on the collimated but non-focused beam on my unit (had the safety interlocks bypassed and thought the etch was finished when I reached in to remove an etched piece), but that beam had nowhere near the power density of the focused beam that comes out of the final focusing lens.

Is it weird that I still find it beautiful?

I had laser eye surgery. Didn't hurt, but boy did it smell. Eugh, I can smell my own eyeballs.
And the bruising from the device that kept my eyes open took a week to heal, regardless of what the TV adverts show.

I will get a branded anchor. When I win the lottery. That will have made Brianna laugh her tits off.

I followed a guy up the escalator last week who had his fraternity sign branded on the back of his calf. Guy was black, and I assumed it was a black fraternity. Seemed odd to me since his slave ancestors were branded against their will. But I guess he had his reasons.

I haven't seen a white person w/branding. I have seen a few black guys/gals w/it. I used to work with a black girl that had a dolphin branded above her ankle. Didn't look too bad.

Not being racial, or anything, just saying.

Tattoos don't work so well against a dark background.

And now that all them middle class whiteys are gettin ink, how's a brutha supposed to show how badass he is?

This is Equality House in Topeka, Kansas...it was in the news maybe a month or so ago. It's a house painted like the GLBT rainbow flag...and it's across the street from the Westboro Baptist Church. You know, the "God Hates Fags" folks?

I went over there the day after it was done to check out the work. One of the volunteers was taking picture of people who wanted to stand in front of the house. Soon, they'll all be pieced together as a collage "group" photo. Pretty cool stuff.

Several letters or a Sigma (Σ)? I know Phi Beta Sigmas used to do that, though they normally branded your bicep. I'll pass on any branding.

It's an improvement, rainbows, or, not.

The guy paid 80-something grand for the privilege.

in yo FACE!

Meanwhile, WBC is a small nondescript church surrounded by a tall fence. Looks rather innocent actually...of course, their members are protesting a Family Video around the corner...

Wolf that down and you'll have a stomach ache.

Yeah, as far as branding and piercing, I come by my scars and punctures honestly.

That struck me as being a lot of wolf.

Well, Family Video does let you rent kids' movies and educational films for free...so, clearly they're evil.

Or an extremely small watermelon...

Their members are now in Boston for the funerals. Fuck those evil cocksuckers.:mad:

I fail to see how WBC's actions count as protected speech under the first amendment. It is really tantamount to hate speech, which I am pretty sure is not protected. I need to look that up.

QFT.

That would work better if we had a generation willing to put in the effort to be "whip-crack smart".

Maybe you and I should recalibrate what "college" and "whip-crack smart" means nowadays.

Um. Wut?

There's another thread about this somewhere; but I thought we determined that if everybody goes to college, you'll end up with is a bunch of janitors with bachelors degrees... The world only needs so many middle managers and telephone sanitizers, right? More degrees don't make more jobs.

Which is why I say pay the ditch diggers and the store workers and the factory people a decent wage. Yes, the world needs these people. No, not everyone needs to go to college. But that clerk at the candy store should make a wage above poverty level.

Or, as Flint said, you have a bunch of people going to college to 'better themselves' and they end up working pretty much where they worked before, making the same lousy wage, because our society only rewards the Tops of the Crops, so to speak. We can't all be CEOs (thank god.)

Someone needs to sell the damn wares. Someone needs to clean the house of the wares. Someone needs to put up the structures needed for the ever-growing technologies.

Not like a boss...

The Boss.

On the other hand - should it be COST that determines who goes and who doesn't? I'd rather see desire and ability determine who gets to go to school. Just because post secondary education is paid for doesn't mean that everyone is going to go - only that everyone has the opportunity to go. And we're NOT just talking about everyone getting bachelors degrees.

What about technical colleges? Plumbers, electricians, firemen, bakers, beauticians, digital animators, carpenters, auto mechanics, rough necks - all trades programmes offered by Schools of technology and applied arts. And what about going to school just for the sake of being a better educated more well rounded smarter garbage man, or shop clerk??

Anyways, regardless if Henry Rollins said that (doubtful on the internet) it is a very naive sentiment, and not thought out very clearly.

Offering free college to big herd of lazy, stupid, morally bankrupt jackasses is going to accomplish, what exactly? If you can't afford college--at the moment--you can already get it paid for, so in effect we are already doing what he says here. The problem is that nobody gives a shit.

He did say it, Flint.
But you have to hear it in context.

Okay, yeah, I'll pass though. I have to go watch a video of a cat on a treadmill, or something.
