Hirsute Homage: Why We Brand Ourselves

Sworn Enemies: Very French Revolution
Blood brothers: Too Huck Finn
Mutual Scars: Post-yoga, post-Hell's Angels, pre-Swan perfection

Or it could just be drunken, self-inflicted beligerence masking a childhood of squirrel nuts and beebee pellets.

It either rate, during my visit to New York, Sam and I decided it would be a good idea to align arms and drop lit cigarettes between the arms. Within seconds my skin was singed. Usually not one to believe in second chances, i played another round.

Why, would I purposely choose to burn my friend's arm with the business end of a Camel Light?

Because, as Sir Edmund Hillary said upon being asked why he climbed Mount Everest:
It was there.

as the blister on my forearm simmers, festers and oozes its way into scardom, i cant help but feel a certain comraderie with my DC doppelganger. I can almost hear every distasteful comment from the friends, co-workers, and asian hookers who encounter Kevin on a daily basis, look upon his ghastful arm and shudder. Every such incident warms me to the bottom of my soul.
Viva Le Brotherhood!
