Well, on Asian gangs, a lot of the stateside ones have specific tattoos and also burn or cut themselves. Perhaps you could say they home tattoo themselves with AIDS tainted needles as a part of the initiation ceremony, kind of like a “no one gets out of this alive” thing.
Don’t forget the “friend of a friend” element. It has to have happened to someone you “know”. This is important. For instance:
A friend of mine in L.A. knows someone that had their tattoo cut off by gang members because it had a snake on it and that is their gang’s symbol.
And then there’s the “warning” that has to be included:
So if you are getting a tattoo, make sure that it doesn’t have any known gang emblems in it or that you keep it covered when you are in gang territory or else they might just cut it off for a trophy.
Also, make sure to back it up with bogus statistics or media info:
The Los Angeles police have reported many incidents of gang members cutting off each others tattoos as trophies, and now they have started going after the tattoos of non-gang related citizens. Many of these incidents have been reported already this year and the LAPD thinks it will continue to escalate.
Now take this and run with it. I think we’ve got a new urban legend on our hands!
Some mornings, it’s just not worth chewing through the leather straps.

Mike, Sealemon-
C’mon…hanging oneself is one thing but electrocuting balls until they explode??
What man would do that??
I dont think the electrocuting thing is implausable…Im sure it happens everyday. but to the balls? Why? 3rd degree burns i can believe, but exploding balls??
My friend’s best friend told him how he was just checking into a DaysInn when a police officer burst in and removed the Gideon Bible in the bedside table, using gloves and tongs, and dropping them both into a plastic bag.
Naturally, my FOAF asked him about it. The officer looked around and told him,“Alright, we’re not supposed to tell anyone about it, because there’s fear of a nationwide panic, but as a Christian myself, I can’t let this go” – Satanist conspirators have been going into motel/hotel rooms all over the country, removing the Gideon Bibles already there, and replacing them with poisoned Gideons that have had their pages impregnated with a nerve poison derived from insecticide that can penetrate the skin and cause violent hallucinations! They get Raid Roach Motels, take them into their kitchens, and process them in pressure cookers that causes the insecticide to ‘mutate’ into nerve poison powerful enough to drive a human insane, if it doesn’t kill them outright. If you know anything about insecticide, you know that it is very closely akin chemically to neurotoxins used in biological weapons. What’s even more troubling (the policeman told my friend’s friend) is that the poison gradually turns to a tasteless, odorless gas as the Bible sits in the drawer for a long time and fills the drawer until it it so concentrated that just opening the drawer and catching a whiff can be fatal!
Tell alll the Christians you know! Don’t let this ‘firs shot’ in the war against God’s Holy and Eternal Truths go unanswered!

- One of the regular features of Spy magazine was that they would send someone into the capital building to ask freshmen congressmen about “the situation in Freedonia.” The pols would go on about how it’s a terrible situation, the US government should look into it, people shouldn’t have to suffer, etc,.

- Freedonia is the fictitional country in the Marx Brothers movie “Duck Soup” (IIRC).
(sigh) - I loved that magazine. - MC
