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.

Ouch, my toes!

Some people have told me this really wouldn’t hurt very much to do and might be kind of fun if you’re in the right mood. I beg to differ. Seriously, I think if I had the choice of nailing my toe to a board or nailing my nutsack to a board, I’m going with nutsack every time… For no good reason toe skewering really freaks me out!

    I don’t have a nutsack so I can’t answer on that score, but I’d rather put a nail through my nipple than one of my toes. o_o

    I did this when I was a kid, once. By mistake. My cousin’s house was in the middle of the demolition phase of a major restoration/remodeling and I was walking around the yard barefoot. I was walking somewhere, and I put my left foot under a board, and then put my right foot on top a little farther along. Then my left foot wouldn’t move and I freaked out. The old rusty nail slide right into my toe and I didn’t feel it. It slide right down the right side of my toenail.

    Hospital trip and a tetnis shot later I was fine. Wasn’t the first time I went to the hospital that summer…

    Of all the things I’ve seen on ModBlog, I still haven’t desensitized myself to anything having to do with feet and things going through them. Maybe because as a kid I stepped on a pole in the ground and needed a bunch of stitches? I’ll go with that. Ow!!!

    mmm — I don’t have a scrotum…. but I know I’d skewer a finger pretty readily, so I don’t really see much difference from skewering a toe 😛
