Just hanging around ... on meat hooks
Strange new pastime for Florida youth baffles authorities
Updated: 3:05 p.m. ET July 18, 2004MIAMI - Police in the Florida Keys are mystified by a bizarre new pastime — young people dangling themselves from meat hooks on a popular sandbar.

The Key West Citizen newspaper reported on Sunday that the Monroe County sheriff’s office and U.S. Coast Guard were called on July 12 to the sandbar off Whale Harbor in Islamorada where locals say wild behavior is becoming a tradition.

They found that five young people had erected a bamboo tripod and hung meat hooks from it. A young woman, her feet brushing the surface of the shallow water, dangled from the frame, hooks embedded firmly in her shoulders.

According to a Coast Guard video, she did not seem to mind the hooks.

Lt. Tom Brazil of the Coast Guard said a young man, who also had hooks embedded in his heavily pierced and tattooed skin, told him the group was “just enjoying the afternoon.”

There were no laws against sticking meat hooks into yourself and hanging from a tripod on a sandbar, Brazil added, according to the newspaper.

The Coast Guard passed the video on to federal justice authorities to decide if action ought to be taken.

A Coast Guard spokeswoman confirmed the report but could provide no further details. No one was available for comment at the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office.

That is fucked up, they are fucked up I should say.

No boredem or anything could drive me to do that, it would fucking hurt. Hooks digging into your shoulders, slowly tearing away your skin and muscles.

Some people are just sick in the head.

Makeing designs on your skin with the little pin that have the colored head (fun), putting staples in your arm (good way to scare people), meat hooks....( just sounds too painful to try)

I saw some stuff like that on RealTV

I don't get whats so wrong about enjoying physical pain. Pain is an emotional impulse, just like happiness. It's how you think of it that matters. I happen to find it relaxing.

And yes, the staples in arm trick works perfectly. I shot 2 or so in the middle of my english class. People were offering to pay me to do it again. lol. The girls on the other hand offered to pay me not to do it...

Damn the fact that the teacher walked in :(

How does that work? Staples in the arm

WHat do you mean?

All you have to do is take any regular stapler, put it where you want. Then hit the top of the stapler with a good amount of force. It will shoot the staple in. Then just take it out with your fingernails, and clean the wound with alchohol. It tends to bleed a lot. I hit a vein once >_<

Or you can bend the stapler back to where it's straight and slap it on your hand. I've seen dumbasses do it in school.

Once on the Discovery Channel, I saw a couple of pierced people (HEAVILY pierced) got married...while on big hooks. Man, what some people do to their precious, precious skin.

I suggest chilling the fuck out and not being a self mascacist (sp).
