And here we have Neek, hands tied behind his head and about to be cast off Mt. Olympus by the gods, for the grave transgression of, um, washboard abs, mostly. Hera wanted to keep him around because she so fancied the fine stippling work being done by Alice Newstead in his armpits, but was sadly outvoted. After the jump, startling video of his earthly punishment, which involves hanging by hooks in his forearms, for eternity. Terrible.
Oh hey, it’s Vomit, and she’s got, hmm, something in her labret piercing? A colorful tissue, perhaps? Or some sort of pasta? Oh wait, is it boners? Please don’t drinks boners! Well, what is it?
Oh. It’s just a balloon. Phew. Neat trick, though! Video evidence is below:

T-lex sends in this attempt at play piercing using cactus needles. “They wouldn’t go all the way through, though,” she says. “Just pricks.” Pfft, pricks indeed.

No, dude, if you’re a man of peace, you don’t have to flex — nuts or otherwise. Ah, well.

Marissa sends in this tattoo, based on a drawing that describes how cats land on their feet. Look, I don’t need some fancy illustration to tell me how cats land on their feet — it’s witchcraft, plain and simple. When I throw my dogs around, they land on their asses, the way nature intended, and then they get a treat. Cats? Cats are acting in direct defiance of God’s will. Not surprising. Not surprising at all.

Good morning, ModBlog! What better way to start off your week than by drinking a tall glass of the nectar that comes freshly squeezed from The Lizardman‘s mind-grapes?
It’s been a few years since we’ve heard from him here on BME, and really, it’s been too long. The world is a much different place now (well, marginally different, at least), and it’s always reassuring to have him around as a bright green guide through the chaos that surrounds us. He and I recently exchanged e-mails over a couple of days, talking about the new American president, the rigors of life on the road and the difficulties of making the transition from sideshow to stand-up.

Triff_id sends in this photo of wife (I think!) having her tongue split. I know the reigning consensus is that tongue-splitting really isn’t particularly traumatic, but that’s a pretty stoic face nonetheless. Russians are of a hearty stock, indeed.

Huh, what do you know? I just got up, and … now I think I have to go lie down again. Funny, that.
