This will give me nightmares

People say to me all the time “hey, do you ever get photos that gross you out? is anything going too far from your point of view?” It's actually one of the most common questions I'm hit with in interviews. Now, I can't tell you that I'm cool with getting scat photos, because that's really not my thing, but I don't count that because it's not overtly mod related… but this fucked up photo from a depraved member of the is seriously upsetting me.

10 mil voltios de terror!

I rode the scooter down to the CCC (the local supermarket) this afternoon and took a flip through their DVDs. Most are Spanish dubs of old American and Italian horror movies and the occasional softcore porn. I picked up the ones below; they cost 46 pesos ($4.18 US) so even if they're terrible it's still cool. No, I didn't get Fiesta Party III (mixed in with kids movies!)…

The horror movies seem a lot scarier with Spanish titles.

BME Search Engine

As a point of trivia, I thought it might interest people to know the top 40 search terms on BME (since I did the last update to the search engine). I'd expected to see sex terms at the very top, but the terms are surprisingly mundane and tattoo-oriented.


1. iam:kivaka
2. corset
3. wings
4. sleeve
5. stars
6. swallow
7. dragon
8. phoenix
9. butterfly

The searches themselves are coming in from a fairly predictable set of locations as you can see from the map below (this is three days of data by the way; the search engine isn't really that active and gets only about a request every three or four seconds).

That's gotta hurt

Can I just say for the record that I really do not think I would enjoy getting my hard palette tattooed. No way. I think this might actually be the first time I've ever even seen it done (by Joaozinhu at Tattoo Way, Franca, SP, Brazil)…

Anyway, I'm uploading all old (2000, 2001) BME/radio interviews so I anticipate being able to post all of them later tonight… and then work starts on resurrecting it (again).

Straight to hell!

Question: How bad does a tattoo of Jesus Christ have to be before it moves from honoring God on some level to full-on blasphemy? Or is it “the thought that counts“?
