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.

Fist pumpin’ with the best of them.

We all have a thing we like to do that may or may not embarrass us if word got out that we did them. Well my thing is watching terrible TV shows on MTV, and it don’t get no worse than this show here. Its like watching a train wreck, its terrible but you can’t peel your eyes away.

In any case, I wanted to talk a little about my favorite “guido” in the house: Pauly D. He has so much going on with him it’ll make your head spin. He has a full arsenal of tattoos, has a penis piercing (although his website doesn’t specify which type) and he may or may not have suspended (in one of the episodes it looks like he is wearing hooks on a chain). That plus some of the other non-permanent modifications like the deep tan, perfect blow out and big oily muscles. This guy has it all!

Now I want to know, since I shared my secret with you, what is your dirty little secret indulgence?

More fist pumping action after the break


mmm-mmm-mmm

    I have so much hatred for guidos I don’t know where to begin. Those weak minded cunts don’t deserve to live.

    I understand the interest in expanding the ModBlog writers – but why feature low quality script and heinous flash?

    Really? Poor choice.

    I would just like to take this time, before things get out of hand, to state that this is not an educational piece at all. I posted it because I enjoy the show as a purely junk food for my brain sort of thing, and though other people would also be amused by it.

    Please keep any racist comments to yourself.

    Jamie, Paulie D is a smart guy that “gets” who he is and what his “character” is. Your post is ignorant. And ignorant is the worst thing to be when you’re accusing someone of being ignorant themselves.

    I recognize that Cadillac tatttoo BTW. Has it been featured on BME? I guess if these are BME pictures he is a member?

    Since when did Guido qualify as a race? Last I checked it was essentialy like calling a Mexican a wetback or someone Jewish a kike. Or when I get called an asshole I can say it you’re being racist. Stupid show, stupid post. Makes me wonder just who Rachel lets post on here. At least get you facts straight.

    Btw, I’m taking porchmonkey back. Oh yeah.

    In response to Jamie’s “racist” remark, the actors refer to themselves as guidos (and “guidettes”), as does MTV in their advertising of the show.

    Ugh… Jersey Shore. So bad, but so good… And Snooki is such a hag.
    I also like watching Million Dollar Listing. Those boys have their heads so far up their asses; it’s rather impressive.

    My secret indulgence is Tyra Banks (More specifically, America’s Next Top Model).

    Maybe it’s just me, but this dude just.. looks like the definition of “douche”. Though, I don’t know him, so that’s an unfair judgment.

    I don’t mind his tattoos..

    Full disclosure: I spent years believing the word was pronounced like “guy-do”. At least my eyes are open now!
    Also, in terms of people jumping on this post because his mods are “boring”, how many posts feature naked women with barely any mods or mods that are cliche? It’s not more interesting because you can see nipples or more artistic because its in oh-so-daring black and white, whereas the authour here stated at the outset that it is strictly for entertainment value. Get a grip.
