A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

    That actually looks like a lightsaber (master replicas)… I have two hanging on my wall, but I could be incorrect.

    I had my fiance look at this. I asked him what that was in the photo and he replied… lightsaber, and walked away…

    Does that mean I’m a nerd?

    Sam: it makes you a nerd by association.

    I bet Luke wished Vader had just gave him a 2″ labret rather than losing a hand.

    Now THATS extreme modding.

    Since my first assumption was that it was a lightsaber and then my thought was confirmed by my fiance… I guess that makes me a nerd marrying a nerd.

    So, is that a Bill Hicks reference shirt? (“Not all drugs are good, now…some of ‘em…are great. You just have to know your way around ‘em is all.”)

    Neat image in any case.

    I’ve never seen anyone I wanted to punch in the face so much. It’s nothing personal, I don’t think he’s daft for doing it, I don’t actually dislike him…I just want to punch him in the mouth right there. Hee hee.
