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.

Gettin’ Sloppy at RABcon ’99.

Mmm, milk!

“I say, Josh! This milk is most refreshing!”
“I concur, fair Yttrx! Most indubitably!”

Nooo!

“Heavens, Josh! No!”

Heavens, no!

*gasp*

I\'ll show you what a sponge can do!

“Spring forth, my burly protector, and save me!”
“Why, I’ve got just the thing!”

Ooh! Ahh!

Behold! The cleansing power of TSD!

YAYYY

“It’s a miracle!”
“Thanks, TSD!”
