Good afternoon, folks! Hope the weekend’s been treating you well. If you’re still bummed out about Anderson Silva dancing around the Octagon last night and refusing to finish Thales Leites, though, then hopefully this photo of the lovely Christine will cheer you up. Pretty girl, nice smile, fancy glasses and simple and complementary piercings? That ought to cure anything short of a kimura lock.

Good morning, ModBlog! Let’s start today backwards: Here we have a young man who got his 18 mm. lip piercing closed and stitched up by Brooklyn’s number one son, xPUREx. It’s not uncommon to find reactions to procedures like this … not negative, necessarily, but certainly sad: people tend to be disappointed when a person has his or her stretched ears/lip/whatever restored to their original state. Understandable, to be sure, but I have to say, I’m always rather impressed that these stretched piercings that so many of us grew up believing to be relatively “permanent” are increasingly reversible. This isn’t to say that such procedures should be taken lightly, of course, but the ingenuity is pretty remarkable nonetheless.

And here we have our old friend Uranium Hobo, who, in this picture, seems to be practicing an advanced fishhook technique. Sweep the leg!

This photo comes to us via one of the talented folks at a Cleveland-area art school (I think), and was taken during the Iditarod, probably. Really though, it’s nice to see a sort-of funny shot executed with thoughtful composition. This works well.

Anyway, you guys know the drill: A few posts over the weekend (including a video post from Roo), and then come Monday morning, we do it all over again. Happy trails, ModBlog.
