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.

    oh god the scene points conversation hahahahah

    that conversations that are had when you’re just sitting around getting cut…hahaha

    ps: I LOVE the song that goes along with this…It’s just as good as: “Don’t Call Me White” song on my last video haha!

    Now we just gotta find a way to do the implanted chip programmed to tally scene points 24/7 365 days a year lol

    The odd thing is I had no idea that conversation took place.

    Best fluke ever :).

    If it was included in the video…I’m glad it was THAT in the video and not the discussion of breast feeding till someone was 12 years old lol

  8. Badur Avatar

    i’m so glad there was no sound other than the music 😉

    +10 points for it being at my place 😛

  9. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    And another 10 for giving Badur a reacharound beforehand.

    do you get scene points depending on how long you were breastfed?

  11. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Only if your mother has pierced nipples.

  12. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    I suspect my sister does, but as far as I can remember she’s never breastfed me.

    This is the exact same video that was posted in the one that was supposed to have acupuncture and skewering in it… what’s with this? Why do I see the same little 59-second video of some guy getting his arm scalpeled in both of these posts?

  14. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    We were having a problem with a plugin and somehow the video was duplicated 🙂

    -10 points for roo for messing up

  16. Shannon Larratt Avatar

    Sorry Roo, I think I did that when I was changing the layout.

  17. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    It’s ok.. I’m quite happy to take the blame.

    Badur – Hah! No cuddles for you next time we meet.

    First time I’ve seen a scarification being done….. I was thinking about it, but that video has scared me too mch now! It looks so painful

  25. Warren Hiller Avatar

    Lori: For the most part I was just sitting there, except I will say after roughly like 2 years of having my arm cut….The wrist region was a tad bit of an ouch, not nearly as bad as my inner bicep though.

    But for the most part I think if it wasn’t for that music, it’d be a pretty boring video to watch lmao

    owwie ow! somehow i wasn’t expecting.. so much blood?

    #26 Gillian Gamine: Should of seen the morning after from having my elbow region cut.

    I was a goof because I had to travel a two hour bus ride so I made them pack me up good an tight with dry-loc…Which acted as a wick and I bled and bled and bled and bled and bled.

    Like 6 bed sheets, a couple shirts, the bandaging,etc and a few hours later…I awoke COVERED in blood…Made my way to the bathroom to use it and then clean up my arm…Only to wake up crumpled up in the corner of it lookin like I was half dead.

    Crawled into the shower and sat down with the water running down on me for quite some time…Got out and thankfully the bleeding had stopped…So I made some food and went back to bed.

    Scary story…But definately a WORTHY story to tell all that this isn’t just all sunshines and gumdrops at times.

  28. RooRaaah Crumbs Avatar

    The track I used on the video is ‘From the one that cut you‘ – Fred Lane.

    It’s not easy to find so send me an email if you’d like it.

    gillian- it’s funny you mention that because I was wondering why there wasn’t more.
    Warren- do you have a roomate? Interesting to know how s/he reacted to waking up to blood everywhere.
