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.

Calling all Japanese translators!

BME is hiring, and we’re looking for Japanese/English translators.  We’ve got hundreds of hours worth of footage from the Japan leg of the BME World Tour that needs translating.  So if you’re fluent in both Japanese and English, capable of translating between the two, and are able to transcribe the dialogue with the proper time codes, then we’ve got the job for you.  You’ll be able to work from home, and it is a paid position.

If you’re interested in the position and want to join the BME team, please send your qualifications and/or any questions you may have to [email protected] with the subject line “World Tour – Japanese Translator Job”.

Now for something completely different, here’s a massive back scar that has healed up a bit.  Everyone’s favorite scrotum suspender, Lassi did this huge piece back in his home town of Helsinki, Finland at his studio.
