Does anyone remember this thread?

I think I downloaded this image at the IOTD page a year or 2 ago. Does anyone remember it? I think it was from Peru or Bolivia and all of the images seemed to have people being nailed to musical instruments. I tried a few searches and came up empty.

Thanks

No, but I have that same hammer. It looks like a Japanese framing hammer.

We've had several radical nailing IotDs but not one that nails 'em to instruments. I would have remembered that.

Oh well, perhaps I found it somewhere else. As I recall it was in Peru and it had something to do with one of those pagen/christian festivals where the men nail themselves to musical instruments and them parade down the street. I remember one shot of a guy who's hands were nailed to a piano dragging it along and another guy with his face nailed to a guitar. I'll keep looking.

Isn't Christianity a great thing!

That would be Christianity passed through folk traditions and indigenous religions that make no sense to modern people.

OMG I am sorry I looked.

Oooooh, I hope the guy with the hammer doesn't accidentally hit his thumb. That would hurt!

He may hit his thumb but he's got his tongue pulled it, real good.
