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.

Crazy Llamas


International man of mystery Craig Coupal checks in with these fancy new inner lip tattoos by Marty Lacombe, one of the fine artists at North Bay’s Live Once Tattoo. It really is interesting what hangs around in the ether and becomes something resembling a cultural institution, isn’t it? No offense intended to Messrs. Kutcher or Scott, nor to the gentlemen pictured above—it’s just funny, is all. And really, more than anything else, we’re just glad that these men of such varying backgrounds hair colors could put aside their many, many differences and come together for this joyous occasion.

    I think this is now some sort of Social Psychology experiment. Where all of us are forced to be stuck together on one post until we go mad!

    We’ve apparently been having some serious problems that I wasn’t aware of due to being sick for the past month. Things should be getting resolved shortly. Sorry for the delay. Posts should resume on Monday.

    I’m not being rude. But I’ve been here for ages. I’m sure he has good reasons for not being here. But in “normal” working life in such a circumstance, you would post a “sorry – life chaotic – bear with me” message, or someone else would step in to fill the gap. We’d all be proper understanding. Only I’ve been in several times a day for the last few days and…nothing. I don’t care about witty remarks, I just want to see photos of fab people with fab mods.

    This is my fault. I have been scarcely online for the past two months due to being ill and I didn’t realize we had yet another large problem brewing behind the scenes. It’s hard to communicate via email when no one is getting these emails so nobody knows what’s going on.

    As far as having volunteers, BME2.0 is going to be entirely community run (including modblog) so we’ll be able to have tons of volunteers and here is to hoping the beta launches soon.

    and @ Urizen #49. fuck the fuck off.

    and on a side note, I would have thought with all the flack people are giving directly to Jordan, he might have had a comment. perhaps he really is bigger than the bullshit, and I like that.

    i like modblog, and i always. more posts would be nice, but ill take what i can get cause no one else is even remotely trying to make a “modblog-esque” website worth a damn.

    Rachel sucks, that’s all there is to it. It’s a pretty simple answer to any one asking what happened to BME. BME is no longer what it use to be and it never will be the same again. Thanks a lot Rachel for ruining something that so many people held so dear to their hearts. You destroyed BME and it’s a damn shame.

    Bloody hell, I like my ModBlog as much as anyone else but it’s obvious they’re having trouble keeping it up and aren’t being neglectful on purpose, there is no need to be nasty! Because of this 2.0 will be user generated, which wont be anything you find impressive either. This is a bad situation 🙁

    maybe the quality of modblog is also tied to the proportion of people who thinks its ok to launch personal attacks against people because they don’t like what’s posted here. That behavior is intensely childish and frankly just makes you look like an asshole.

    I thought this was a community site. IF content is lacking, maybe it’s because the “community” is too busy bitching about the good old days and kissing ONE MAN’S arse. Its like Shannon was jesus or something. If you want better posts, start “pushing the boundaries.”

    And Its just a blog, its not the end of the world if it does not update. If your bored go look at free porn on redtube.

    BME/IAM/Modblog are all soulless now. The online community that this site once was is completely dead. Bme 2.0 might as well be a single page with an open apology to anyone walking around with a bme tattoo.

    Yea it sucks about the lack of updates — but it’s a fucking website. No need for immature name calling or bashing. Shit happens, so get off the computer and do something or find something else virtual you can whine about. I am pretty sure you will survive.

    Obviously the site is lacking recently, and the best they can do is these tattoos. Also, I too believe it was a much better and more informative site when someone else ran it.

    That being said, I don’t see any of the bitching posters here taking it upon themselves to create a website that can fill the gap (myself included). And I wouldn’t be surprised if submissions are down, considering I’ve been following bme since the shannon reign and its the people that just reply that don’t know shit about mods or the community that bash everyone else that have made me not want to post. I rececntly made one a submission, in hopes to show the other side of modifications, to show people that there’s not always a “pretty” side, and I got bashed left and right for it. So, im probably not going to ever post something on here again. Most of the nonmembers and even a good percent of the members are such uppity pricks that its not worth it. Its a public site, and not everyones going to 100% happy all the time, get over it.

    Seriously guys. If you hate BME so much now, the door is that way. You think bitching, whining, moaning, calling BME staff members names and other such bullshit is actually going to make them -listen- to you? You think they will go “Well gee, maybe these filthy-mouthed hicks have it right!”?

    Treat people with respect and put forth your suggestions and criticisms in a constructive and diplomatic manner and then maybe they will listen to you. Maybe then you’ll actually sound like someone worth listening to.
