Quickie DLD 9/14/09 Weird Body Art


I wanted a new DLD just so I could post a link to the world's first eyeball tattoo.  Yikes, looks painful and STUPID! 

I'm not sure which is worse, the eyeball tatto or an eyeball piercing!

The video in the link is not for the faint of heart.

Let's see if I can find anything a little less painful . . .

Star-divide

OK, less painful but almost as stupid.  Butt Jewelry! and other strange places for piercings.

 

Enough of that, this came out Friday but I didn't read or post it (LB's DLD was doing just fine without it anyways).

Disney has it's own Expo called D23 and there they announced the release date of the next Pirates movie plus a bunch of other movies like The Lone Ranger with Johhny Depp as Tonto.

 

In keeping with the movie theme, here is a webcomic from xkcd.com.

 Before I get back to work I have a confession to make . . .  I got some of these links from twitter.com.  I know, I'm sorry.  Dump away AN.

I want jewelry on my butt, of a butt with butt-shaped jewelry on it

I kind of liked it too

but only because of the butt it was attached too. I can imagine some of the butts that have one of those and it is distrubing to think of.

I think the eyeball tattoo is the worst

because I doubt it can be reversed. At least you can take a piercing out.

People that get piercings in strange places

I just don’t get them.

Are any of these piercings

designed not to accidentally latch onto each other when various types of metallic ornamentation are brought into close proximity with each other?

Just seems like something you’d want to think about before anything goes wrong.

hmm...

I got my piercings in a nice, sterile, clean piercing parlor. Same with my tats. The artists were clean, hygienic, and professional.

Yes, they hurt, but pain is not a bad thing.

Seriously… go put some clothespins on your nipples… right now…

This was exceedingly bad advice.

I was not pleased at all.

I much prefer Franklin’s world view.

umm...

Benjamin Franklin would have liked clothespins on his nipples.

It’s well known that he visited “spanking parlors” in England, where the 1700’s equivalent of dominatrixes would spank rich and well-heeled men for funsies.

But what the hey, if you’re not into the kinky stuff, just go run five miles. That works too.

I'm quite well aware....

that good old founding father Ben was quite the freak. It makes perfect sense that such a progressive leader would be ahead of his time in his personal pursuits too. There’s a reason his picture is on the 100 dollar bill ya know. Think about it. He was never POTUS and the “C” note is the highest denomination in circulation.

pick one of each "no" and "yes"

to the questions “will tomko keep this up” and "will he be pitching in oakland next year

You must use both words once.

Depending on your answers, you will have your answer.

hope to dye, stick a needle in my eye

so i got hit in the eye with a softball earlier this summer and i learned two things from that. 1) a softball… it ain’t that soft. 2) eye anesthetic works instantly and completely.

when the ball hit my eyeball, it caused bleeding inside, which not only made the world look a whole lot like i was peering through a brown paper bag, it also created severe problems for my eyeball juice flow. the juice was coming in, but the out-filters (please excuse my medical jargon) were blocked with clotted blood, so it couldn’t leave. and the out-flow pumps don’t communicate with the inflow, which causes the eye juice to accumulate and build pressure in the eyeball when there is too much coming in. the pain from that is incredible, debilitating and nauseating—surely migraines are related to eyeball nerve pressure.

the doc tried medicine to thin the clots and release the pressure, but after 8 hours of me sitting in a darkened corner of kaiser ophthalmology moaning in pain, the doc had to go home to dinner so he decided to go for the quick pressure release: stick a syringe in my eye and draw a couple MLs out. actually, he did it a couple times that day and once more the next day. yeah, i’m a real pro at needles in the eye now. and one thing i can share is, the anesthetic will make it hurt not at all. but because the needle goes in your eye, there’s no way to close it, and that’s the real hard part. all you see is this giant needle coming at you like it’s a huge, scary prop in friday the 13th part III (in 3D).

don't care if i ever get back.

Eek.

I had my elbow drained once. That was pretty disgusting, too, since I had to bring a vile that was like half blood, half bursitis juice across the hospital to get tested (apparently at Kaiser they don’t send stuff out, they just make you carry it for them)

Tha’ts not nearly as bad as HAVING A DAMN NEEDLE SHOVED INTO YOUR EYE.

the pain from the high juice pressure was so horrible that, if i had to do it again, i’d ask for the needle at the beginning.

and, yeah! don’t they have paper bags or something? i had to carry my pee from one floor to another in the SF kaiser once. “hi, going up? oh good. could you press 4 for me? thanks. i don’t want to drop my, um… lemon/lime gatorade?”

don't care if i ever get back.

by AV on Sep 15, 2009 1:38 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Screw paper bags.

Don’t they have, like PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE THAT TRANSPORT THINGS?

“Hi, sir, we just drained a half gallon of chunky fluid from your elbow using a needle roughly the diameter of a garden hose. I know you can’t feel the left side of your body, can you please use your right hand to carry this down to the lab for testing? Thanks!”

Seriously.

i'm willing to try, but...

don’t you get paper cuts?

kaiser… it’s definitely an assembly line in parts. those poor nurses who sit at their cubicle window all day long to with no other task than taking a test tube of blood out of people, one after the other?! poor souls.

don't care if i ever get back.
