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.

    What’s a slim jim? By the looks of it, it’s either liquorice or a twiggy stick. Or something completely different. Either way, I wonder where he got that idea from?

    a slim jim is basically beef jerky compacted into stick form, & comes in various meat-flavors, although it’s main ingredient is ‘mechanically’seperated chicken, which is extremely disconcerting to me.

    Slim Jim’s are nasty in flavor and consistency and how anyone eats them is a mystery to me.

    I haven’t eaten meat for years, not to mention a Slim Jim, but aren’t those very salty/spicy? Wouldn’t it irritate your gums and fistula?

    Oh, and I’ll add the obligatory “ew.”

    1. i love how many people don’t know what slim jims are! At first I was like, how is that possible not to know slim jim!?! but I guess when you’re from the South (of the US), you pretty much grow up with them and you cant expect others to be so familiar. haha.

    2. Slim Jims = disgusting after taste. I would assume with that in there he is dealing with a continuously bad after taste. Imagine kissing that!

    thanks for the laughs!
