Finger Lickin’ Good

I don’t really know what the motivation behind this tattoo of a self consuming cow is — in this case done by Drew Atkins at Incorporated in Zanesville, Ohion — but all it brings to mind for me is the Ameglian Major Cow from Milliways (The Restaurant at the End of the Universe — I’m sure other Douglas Adams fans know what I’m talking about).

Did I forget to blur something? Uh oh…

When I was in psyche ward lock-down (what, you didn’t know that BME was started by an escaped mental patient? I kid you not…) there was a big catatonic guy that always wandered around in torn jeans with his nuts hanging out. It was really funny. While I hated being locked up, in a lot of ways I do really miss living in a mental hospital because there’s so much humor if you can dissociate from the fundamental horror of it all… This photo kind of reminds me of those days.
