A tattooed person suspends from hooks, laying flat, one leg higher than the other. Their head is back, and they seem to be smiling, dark hair dangling like an anime character.

  • Be Like Water


    Anyone else catch last night’s UFC event? Mixed Martial Arts can be an acquired taste, but it’s oddly compelling once you get into it. Plus, I doubt there’s another sport — aside from maybe the NBA — that offers tattooed athletes such visibility, so there’s that. The above piece is, I believe, on a young man named Emil Hennix, who, if Google has taught me anything, is an amateur fighter himself.

  • Merry Fishmas!


    The catch of the day declined to comment, but when a reporter asked if he would mind singing his response — much to the amusement of the news scrum — he angrily shouted, “I’m a catfish, you jackass, not a bass!” and then proceeded to smash a photographer’s camera. No charges have been filed.

  • A Wonderful Life


    The lovely MissDuveaux (right, who’s been on ModBlog once or twice) and Chinouk (left) check in with this Christmas miracle:

    We where supposed to shoot very serious set with liters of fake blood, but when we arrived we saw all this dress-up-stuff and the girl in us could not resist! Enjoy your X-mas as much as I enjoyed sharing my hat …

    Will do! But what of that blood-soaked photo shoot? Well, that ended up happening too. See the sacrilege, after the jump.

    “We did this messy shoot with 11 liters of fake blood,” MissDuveaux says, “made out of very sticky stuff. The good news? It looks great! The bad news: everything (and then I mean everything) stuck together.”

    And with that, happy holidays, ModBlog. We’re going to take the rest of the day off, but come back tomorrow. Embrace the day.

  • ‘Ello, Beastie


    Hey everybody, it’s the Christmas Kraken, popping in to offer some holiday advice! Take it away!

    “Hi, folks — Christmas Kraken here. It’s the holiday season, and with all sorts of parties and get-togethers going on, it’s best that people be careful out there. If you’re drinking, please don’t drive, and if you’re driving, please make the change to Goodyear Snow Tires. Also, if you’re planning on attacking a ship and dragging every soul on board down to a watery grave, I’d recommend hitting the sails first. Holes in the body of a ship can take a while to fill with water, but nothing ruins a mariner’s day like getting his sails torn off.”

    Thanks, Christmas Kraken! Merry Christmas!

    Xronix basically lives on ModBlog, but in the interest of (A) posting interesting pictures and (2) keeping up the wintery vibe, well, here he is again. It’s a Christmas miracle!
