This cartoon fooled me in to thinking I looked awesome in tight pink leggings, heavy blue eyeliner and an arm full of jelly bracelets. I still refuse to believe otherwise.

My Response – EmployeeB has confirmed this to be an issue. So I have done everything I could think to do:
1) I Made a pot of coffee
2) I ate a donut
3) I stared at the phone in the break room really hard with one eyebrow raised.

I think the phones could “Smell what I was cooking” because I was able to call multiple people in OfficeX now and it appears to work now.

It is all in the eyebrow.

Initial response from my boss in another office :

You have donuts in your office?

The Israel Defense Forces canceled a raid after one of their own soldiers posted details about the operation – including when and where it was happening – on his Facebook profile. The soldier has since been relieved of duty, kicked out of the military, and will serve ten days in prison for what really amounts to a bonehead move.

CNN has the full details, if you’re interested.

If you and your partner wanted to be among the first to file for a same-sex marriage license in the District of Columbia, you needed to get up pretty early this morning. Angelisa Young and Sinjolya Townsend, officially the first couple in line today at the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse's Marriage Bureau office, arrived at 6 a.m., ready to wait. As patiently as they could, anyway.

"I just stayed in the moment as best I could," Townsend said once she and Young, her partner of 12 years, emerged from the courthouse shortly after 9 a.m. "I'm a little overwhelmed, but I'm just so happy right now."

During a conference call on Tuesday hosted by the Human Rights Campaign, Young told reporters she could envision herself walking out of the courthouse and dancing. It was a little too cold, windy and damp for dancing on Wednesday morning, as it turned out, but there were plenty of hugs, kisses and excited hand squeezes between the two D.C. residents. They plan to be married March 9.

Reggie Stanley and Rocky Galloway were the second couple in line today, though Galloway didn't get there quite as early as his future husband -- Stanley arrived shortly after 6 a.m. to hold their place in line, while Galloway strolled in at 7:15.

"We have kids, so you know, someone had to take care of the kids," Galloway said. The couple also expect to be married on March 9, somewhere in Northwest D.C.

"We waited a long time for this," Galloway said. "Our family will have the same rights and privileges as any other family."

Rounding out the early birds were Cuc Vu and Gwen Migita, the third couple in line. They arrived at about 6:30, which wasn't easy for Migita, who actually lives in Las Vegas. Her intended, Vu, lives in D.C. and works for HRC here in Washington, and though they plan to be married as soon as possible, they still have a few marital decisions to make. Like where they'll eventually live.

"That's still under negotiation," admitted Migita.

13. Black Light Tattoo

So what do you do if you want a tattoo but you don’t want it to be highly visible? If you’re a normal person, you get it put somewhere discreet, and it’s not an issue. If you’re someone who tends to hang around places where the music repetitively goes oons-oons-oons, and look fondly back on the 90s, then you get a black light tattoo. Much as the name suggests, black light tattoos only show up under black light, meaning they look like a very faint scar most of the time. However, once you get into the club with the rest of your raver friends, the ink glows. It’s a cool effect, but I wonder if the glow degrades over time.

12. Corset Piercing

This bodymod is high on the list because, well, because it’s actually kinda hot. Two rows of piercings run down the back, and then a piece of ribbon is threaded through them. This duplicates the look of the ties on a corset, which has definite aesthetic appeal. Which is doubtless boosted by its usual appearance on the backs of young, attractive women. The downside? Whenever I see one, I just get a horrible mental image of someone ripping the whole thing out.

11. Implanted Magnets

Another one that’s kinda cool. Implanting magnets under your skin, which not only lets you pick up metal objects, but gives you a minor 6th sense. Reportedly, once you’ve implanted the small and powerful objects, you can detect live wires, feel your hard drive spin up, or sense security systems. The magnets are implanted into your fingertip, and when you cross a magnetic field they oscillate slightly, creating a buzzing sensation. As far as bodymods go, it’s a fair bit more practical than most. The downside? The silicon sleeve used to separate your body from the magnet has a tendency to rupture, which leads to the magnet breaking down.

10. The Giant Labret

The labret is a fairly common piercing, one which is beneath your lower lip, and is often seen as a stud or spike. It’s remarkably common, and you probably know someone who has one. So what happens when someone does to the labret piercing as they do to their ears, and start to stretch the hole. And, after it gets big enough, they stick a clear plastic plug in it. You get an unparalleled look at the persons gumline, and I’m sure more than just a couple of really, really odd glances. Looking at that, and seeing how much it alters the shape of the lower lip, you have to wonder if it makes eating difficult.

9. Microdermal Implants

So you want a piece of metal sticking straight out of your body? But you don’t want to shove a piece of metal deep into your muscle structure? Well, lucky for you, there’s a middle-ground. A microdermal implant sticks a small L-shaped bracket into your skin, which leaves just a tiny stud of metal protruding. With this hook, you can stick on all types of studs, jewels, and various spikey shaped things. As far as implants go, it’s relatively non-invasive, and won’t go too deep. You’re still sticking hooks under your skin though.

8. Ear Spiking

There are only two types of people who would get their ears modified to look like this: hardcore fantasy fans, or hardcore Star Trek fans. Neither of whom are usually the primary demographic for extensive body modification, especially ones that involve removing large chunks of flesh. But I’m not one to judge. So if you’re of the type where you think your life would be immeasurably improved by having ears that come to a sharp point, then maybe this is for you. So how is this achieved? Well, you take your ear, carve a wedge of flesh and cartilage out of it and then strap it back together. You keep it bandaged that way for some time, until it heals enough that it won’t rip itself to shreds as soon it becomes unstrapped. Then you have a spiky set of ears!

7. Scarification

Scarification scares me more than almost anything else, but mostly because I find the results oddly attractive. What happens with this procedure, is that you peel off large sections of someone skin in a specific pattern, revealing the tissue beneath. Once this area heals, it will cover with scar tissue, which will be a different color and texture from the surrounding skin. As crazy and gruesome as this is, some people take it a step further, and deliberately aggravate the wound, preventing it from healing normally. This causes greater swelling in the scar tissue, and creates more defined results. The whole process is extremely bloody, and looks more painful than I care to fathom. But I kinda think it looks hot.

6. Saline Inflation

So you want giant lumpy bits added to your body, but don’t want them to be permanent? You still want to look like you got stung by some sort of mutant bee, and have swelling that would make any sane doctor run in terror? Well, how about injecting large amounts of saline solution into your face, and then making divots with your thumb on it? All the cool Japanese are doing it! Now, I would like to digress here for a second, and mention that there’s an entire group of people who like doing this exact same thing, but to their testicles. Seeing as we’re trying to keep this list at least vaguely PG-13, we won’t show any of the images, but it’s pretty horrific. At least saline inflations disappear after a while…

5. Subdermal Implants

But subdermal implants are here to stay! A subdermal implant involves inserting a large object under the skin, and then leaving it to heal. The shape of implant then shows through the skin, creating a raised and slightly terrifying resulting effect. It’s not often in life you’ll run into someone with devil horns or detailed beaded patterns protruding under their skin, and it’s certainly a dramatic look. Subdermal implants are still rare enough that you’ll probably face a fair amount of social ostracization because of it, but hey, what price is art?

4. Suspension

Suspension isn’t so much a single modification, as a religious experience associated with the bodymod world. People who are into suspension literally hang themselves off hooks, usually through the skin of their back. The hooks are inserted just prior to the act itself, meaning the piercings are always fresh, and the person is hoisted up. The hooks must be carefully placed, taking into account the weight of the subject, and their skin’s strength, because if there aren’t a sufficient number of the piercings, then the skin won’t take the weight, and will rip out.

Suspension is never undertaken with anesthesia, as the practitioners feel this would diminish the importance of the act. It’s an intensely spiritual performance for most people, who see it as a form of meditation. Me, I’m just terrified of the whole concept!

3. Split Tongue

You know how snakes have split tongues. Do you want one? Do you yearn with the desire to separately control the left and right halves of your tongue? To slither them around various objects, and creep people out? To give the heebie-jeebies to the general populace? All you have to do is split your tongue down the middle—known as bifurcation—and then stitch it up again to let it heal. In doing so, you’ll get the tool you’ve always wanted to strike fear into the hearts of children.

2. Burning

So, remember when I talked about how scarification could have visually impressive results? Well, what happens when you take that process, remove any chance of it looking good, and add an even stronger undercurrent of self harm? Welcome to the world of self-inflicted burn wounds. The image above was done by cigarette. Slowly. And repeatedly. Over the course of a long, long time. That’s right, it says “love hurts”. And it’s almost entirely illegible. That’s just screwed up.

1. Eye Tattoos

AAAHH! AAAAH! AAAAAAAH! WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT! Holy crap, that’s just screwed up! That’s right, these folks are getting tattoo ink injected into their eyeballs, effectively dying it blue. There is only one situation where I want to see someone with all-blue eyes, and that’s if they’re Fremen. Apparently getting the ink shoved into your eyeball is relatively painless, but I don’t care. That’s just weird, creepy, nasty and all around unpleasant. Some people can’t stand the idea of having anything near their eyes. Think about them, not look at that needle. Hell, I went through LASIK surgery, I’ve had weird things done to my orbs. But this? This is just gross.

*A special thank you to Mace Windex, who prefers the size of the old Duke controllers, for the tip!

Today’s strip is a fairly accurate representation of a recent conversation I had with my sister Laura and her husband Mike about the program, Hoarders. I still have yet to see this show, probably because I’m a moderate pack rat myself, and do not wish to see a twisted mirror of what I may become in some dark future.

Some of you may also remember when jefbot’s sister Lor had a problem filling her DVR with another type of program in this strip from last year: JEFBOT.127_Lost Episodes.

Anon Spotted These Fighters

The idea of this thin book is that danger is something kids need to learn to handle by experience. The 50 small experiments in this book can potentially cause a minor injury (although they are unlikely to), but are never really seriously dangerous. In fact most of them aren't dangerous at all, but at least they are fun. There are no special techniques, secret formulas or exclusive knowhow here that everyday knowledge or a quick internet search would not turn up. The activities are the kinds of things kids will sometimes do on their own -- at least in the past. It's too bad a book like this is needed today, and maybe you, or folks you know, don't need it, but if the kids in your life live a very structured and constantly supervised existence, this is a way to supervise a little danger. The book is designed to be read either by parents or kids. Most activities have clear instructions. We've been going through the book, letting the kids choose. It encourages them try stuff, and to see the trade off in risks and gains in many things. Mostly we use this as a primer for more dangerous things to try later on.

According to the latest round of rumors from HotHardware, Apple Tablet may not be the only device which will be unveiled this Wednesday. Inside sources have told the site that AT&T is set to loose iPhone exclusivity on the very same day. Nothing however has been said or heard about which US carrier or carriers are going to carry the iPhone come this Wednesday.

Recently, there has been lots of talk about negotiations taking place between Apple and Verizon on a possible CDMA version of the next-gen iPhone 4G for Verizon Wireless. Sources have also claimed that the deal could be on if Apple and Verizon sort out their current issues over the cost of the said phone. Rumor also has it that the Tablet device from Apple is headed to Verizon, in which case it would make perfect sense for both Verizon and Apple to offer iPhone and Tablet from the same carrier.

This news for sure is not good for AT&T, considering the fact that most users switched to AT&T just because they wanted the iPhone despite the poor network coverage and customer support. iPhone availability on a carrier like Verizon is going to cause users to hold off from buying AT&T iPhone’s until they see what kinds of packages Verizon or other carrier offer if the iPhone’s exclusivity with AT&T ends this Wednesday.

Apple is set to unveil the Tablet, along with iPhone OS 4.0 at the special event, which is scheduled to be held at 10 AM PST on January 27th, at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco.

The next-gen iPhone 4G is expected to launch at WWDC 2010 in summer of this year.
