But yes, admittedly a truly awesome result.

*shudder*

That flesh carving link was NOT RIGHT. Oh my GODTOPUS.

Mmmm...Flesh-Cheetos.

Do they come in Flamin' Hot?

Flesh Cheetos seem awfully similar to Buff Chik Doritos. In theory. In practice neither of them should exist.

That's awwwwfully disgusting. I think I need to go burn something.

Well, the Flesh Cheetos don't really gross me out. It takes concerted effort to gross me out (or, you know, pie). But anyway, my concern over the carving is not the ickiness, because it doesn't ick me out, but rather the fleeting nature of the result. It's beautiful, but how long would it last? When I was 16, I got a cut down the back of my right hand and wrist that peeled off the top layer of skin in a thin line almost exactly four inches long (seriously, I used to use it to measure stuff) and it was dark red like in those photos for a few years, but then it started to fade. Now it's the same colour as the rest of my skin. You almost can't see the part on the back of my wrist anymore, although there is a thin line of scar tissue on the back of my hand. I'd be curious to see what one of those designs would look like five or ten years after it was done.

Flesh Cheetos. Bwa-hahahhaha. Yeah, that was gross. The design is gorgeous, if you don't think about the fact that you're looking at raw flesh. However, scars that big tend to pull in weird directions and form very hard, not very flexible replacement skin. And just wait until she gains a little weight, and looses it, and gains it again. I think we'll go from bamboo stalks to weeping willows of death.

I'm gonna be the first to comment on something Non-Flesh Cheeto related. And come out and say I've had sexual thoughts about several cartoon characters. If you don't think Dmitri from Anastasia and Trent from Daria are hot, you are devoid of sexual impulse. Mmmm...Mystic Spiral...

For obvious reasons, the "flesh carvings" are called scarification tattooes. A friend of mine wanted to get one a few years back. I told her she was insane. That takes a very special kind of masochism.
Also, 41 hours in an elevator? I would be in therapy for life.

It also should be mentioned that I thought the guy in Mulan was sexy. Y'know, since the other cartoons were not Disney. And Thomas from Pocohontas is totally doable. He's got that youthful look like you could teach him a few things.

Am I going too far with this? SOMEBODY'S gotta pick up Julie's slack.

Fine, fine, put Scarlett in the Batsuit.

*sigh*

'fuckin EVERYBODY gonna be Snake Eyes now?

Kat, I lasted 2 hours and 32 minutes. The longest of my Pajilife.

Jay - Dead-friggin on. The goddamed Batsuit. LET THE GI JOES FROM MY YOUTH CONTINUE TO BE THE GI JOES FROM MY YOUTH! Granted, Snake-Eyes looked pretty friggin sweet, but...

I'd rather down a 50-cent bag of Flesh Cheetos that sit through what this is gonna turn out like... The Rock?! Yeah... okay.

I wish I was as rich as Kobe Bryant and could risk a massive injury which could end my career and put me in the hospitol for months and do it just for kicks. Must be nice.

Umm...thanks for the Dirty Disneys...I'm, ummm...I'm just going to go, you know, into that corner...and, ummm...cry, you know...just for a bit (sounds of silent weeping, as well as disturbing, fleshy noises).

this site is getting rather disturbing. Flesh Cheetos and a lil' love for the animals....

Speaking of Trent and Mystic Spiral, my friend Diana and I used to use Kevin to remember things in Sunday school. Somehow we associated FMOSS3 with Bishop William Higgi, aaand I still remember it like 10 years later. Word.

My sister liked Shang from Mulan but I was always big on Thomas. You can just feeeeeeel Christian Bale staring back at you.

P.S. Why didn't Aladdin have nipples? Think about it.

KASH: P.S. Why didn't Aladdin have nipples? Think about it.

For the same reason that Cinderella doesn't have toes. Toe cleavage might have turned people on. Old Walt had a weird idea of what turned people on.

Vermillion, you definitely have a logical point, I just doubt that's what the filmmakers thought, and I fear the whole team's gonna come out monochrome like the X-Men. But no Joes looked as ridiculous as Wolverine's blue and yellow so there's much less point to cancelling out all the costumes. It does look covert, but it also really looks like Christian Bale. But I'll wait to see if that's her costume or, disappointingly, a uniform.

Either way I wish Lady Jaye was here instead.

(phew, didn't complain about her once)

So me being in love with Esmerelda from Hunchback isn't weird anymore? Awesome. And I would totally be all over Jane from Daria in real life. Sarcastic loner with piercings? Hell yes.

Yes, I was a former goth...what of it?

The scarification tattoos are mildly disturbing...but I've worked in a tattoo parlor before, so I've seen a lot. It's amazing what people will do to their bodies.

[whistles softly to self and walks away...ignoring the jingling of multiple piercings in ears...]

I also have eight piercings and several tattoos, most of which aren't visible most of the time

It's not bad that my mind went to a bad place when I saw that...right?

I was goth in dress only...wasn't really about the "the world sucks, my parents hate me, how do I creatively get you to notice me so that I can put you down for noticing me?" attitude they like. Still got the black trenchcoat and combat boots, though...

Still good enough for me. I got seven piercings in one ear and an orbital in the other...looking to get more soon. And maybe a surface piercings or two, when I can. No tattoos, though...never found one I wanted to have.

Man, did anybody read the article in the New Yorker about that elevator guy? It was really long but really good. Also: depressing.

Go Avalanche!

Frankly I'm surprised at everyone knocking the scarification. I know we're all judgy judgerson on this site, but COME ON people. This is the fucking internet! Maybe if it got infected or looked like shit or something, I would understand calling it stupid. But it looks amazing! I've seen tons of really great pieces done like that. I don't suppose any of you have heard of a little thing called endorphins? It makes scarification feel awesome! Like getting high almost. Anyways, I just wanted to express my indignation at this uptight, anti-anti-normal people vibe I'm feeling.

Almost the wierdest thing about the elevator man is that it happened nearly 10 years ago. Why has this story popped up on the interwebs now? It needed youtube of course, but I never even heard of this as an urban legend.
Now that footage of stories like this can be stored on the interwebs forever, the stories picked up in these kind of lists will end up as a random selection from all of humanity. In a hundred years time people will still be able to see this footage, and wonder that there was a time when people didn't have implanted mobile phones with electricity generated from their own bodies.

It always cracks me up how some people who are into one form of body alteration don't "get" another form. Like having a dozen piercings but not understanding tattoos, or scarification. I'm just as guilty as the rest - I used to have several ear piercings (in my youth... wistful sigh). Now I stick to tattoos, but I don't get piercings, and scarification just grosses me out.

But those are surface reactions. When I sit and think about it more, I do "get" it. It's just not my choice of mod, you know?

Good for him. But just saw him at ___S e e k i n g R i c h . c o m---last week. What is he looking for on that site.

Mara, You can have the stretched part of your earlobe removed which can pretty much return your ear to normal if you want. But if you don't do that and you're a grandpa, I'm pretty sure you don't give a fuck what people think.

Re: stretched earlobes, if you stretch them gradually, and don't stretch them too much, they'll pretty much return to normal without cutting anything off. I had mine stretched for a few years, only to a size 0 (I think..), but when I was bored with them I took them out and my ears went back to normal almost instantly. The only indication I ever had them stretched is the slight hole created if I wear reeeaally heavy earrings.

The thought of the pain of scarifications kinda icks me out, but it looks gorgeous. Not for me, though; I couldn't handle the pain. The tat on the inside of my wrist was barely bearable.

I've seen some pretty big ones. An ex-girlfriend was massively into it on guys and would point them out to me whenever we were out.

I had my ears pierced when I was little, but I got squicked out whenever I had to put my own earrings in, so I let them grow over. I'll get 'em redone though.
