He's with Thomas Disch now.

We all wear costumes, permanent or not. Sometimes, the impermanent become permanent through repeated use.

I would not, however, be on board with hiring someone with a facial tat or visible facial piercing in my office. Different costume required.

@5, I'm an attorney, so I grasp the basics but was trying to use general terminology. Although I will admit that constitutional law (US) and medico-legal issues are more my speed.

3 accusations? Not 3 "convictions?"

@ Shannon: Great to see you and I'm glad you chimed in. Can't imagine many folks with as much pure knowledge and insight as you.

The fact that Zombie guy is an asshat as well as tattooed is pure coincidence.

Personally, I used to have an interesting piercing, but lost all interest in such after failing reconstruction following bilateral mastectomies. Enough modification for me, thankew. And I wasn't 40 yet...

I want an adult-sized one with my favorite book titles on it. Excellent juxtaposition in my libe at home with the antique desk.

And you're truly famous now, Cory. Love the A.V. Club bit.

While I am happy that meditation is such a wonder cure for so many ills, I find that that hasn't worked on my impatience.

I am a liberal and I'm taking your guns because I want them all for myself.

Didn't the Dadaists do all this before and better than Rauschenberg?

Fabulous! Hag sameach, all!

I cannot stand Joseph Beuys. Not one bit. So this chair is not for me.

But a damn fine excuse for being late to work...

I'm off gadgets since I stuck my finger in the blade attachment of my Braun handblender...while it was on.

I'm a bit leery of my electric toothbrush, but unless I stick it in my eye, I think I'm ok.

I made a Stonehenge cake for a friend who was born on the Summer Solstice. Grey buttercream icing does not improve Twinkies.

I'm a Texan, too, living on the Gulf Coast, and went through the horrific evacuation for Hurricane Rita. My co-worker's mother died in that.

This is a press release for propaganda purposes, and that's an end to it. It ain't gonna happen.

My brain is more like a tag cloud.

Hmmm. Who do we have who can do things like, "Baby's On Fire" and "Music for Airports?" Moby? His brain is much smaller than Eno's.

I think the curved edges are a plus for small spaces, too, if you're like me and tend to run into things.

(currently sporting a 3 1/2 inch scar from running into an uncovered wireless card. them puppies is sharp!)

@ecobore:

Mmmmm.

As a Southerner, I can attest that I have never seen pig brains in a grocery store. I have seen whole pig head, because if they weren't there, how would we get our Christmas tamales?

(I eat beef ones, though. Jew here.)

Ever since I flunked breast reconstruction following mastectomy, the guilt associated with staring at or examining medical oddities, burn victims and/or amputees has faded.

I am one of "them" now, even though you can't tell when I'm clothed and wearing my prosthetic.

Eating Aqua Dots might be more safe. And creative, too!

This will show up in the next anti-choice film. I just know it.

Suggestion: Hack a couple of old tone arms to make windshield wipers.

I've always wanted to cover an old VW bug in used breast implants.

I do have to mention that Houston is the home of the oldest and largest Art Car parade in the country. And the one and only Orange Show.

The cobra being foreshadowing of the pain the shoes will cause?
