“What about Cleopatra woman? She’s had so many cosmetic surgeries, only so she can look like Cleopatra!”
—But no one knows what Cleopatra looked like! There’s only one life portrait of her: a profile on a coin, and she looks kinda like Jimmy Durante in a wig. I wonder if she’s going for Theda Bara Cleo, Claudette Colbert Cleo, or Liz Taylor Cleo?
It wasn’t that bad. The lizard guy is a lot creepier (see astroboy’s link). My mind forced me read through all his modifications. Those are not for the squeemish. I think the “Cleopatra woman” could possibly be the woman in the link that manhattan provided. At least Mr. Lizard had surgery to have most of these modifications done. There was one guy I saw on Jenny Jones (the former essence of pop culture…:rollseyes:) who had a screwtop metal mohawk that he had friends put in with a hammer and screws.
HUGS!

Okay - guy wants to be a tiger, let him be a tiger. But that means…he’s a TIGER. No speaking with humans, he has to kill his own food, and he certainly can’t work as a computer guy any more.
The difference between this guy and transgender folks is that this guy just wants to LOOK like a tiger. He doesn’t actually want to BE one. Kinda like the difference between drag queens and actual transsexuals.
BTW, the Barbie Doll woman is fun, too.

I have to admit, I did like the Lizard Man’s motto.
"Because the world needs freaks."
Can’t really argue, and I suppose we’re better off with willing volunteers for the job.
Perhaps he can get snaps like the ones they have for some hair pieces, so it would be removable. You know, for hygeine.
Hair piece have snaps? Like little couch covers?
[sub]The things I learn on this board amaze me. Holy crap, snaps… I would NEVER have guessed… [sub]
Snap on!
Snap off!

I looked everywhere for a pic, but no luck. Bizzare stuff! Oddly enough, the man who patented this item was found guilty of poisoning his wife in Feb of this year.

Thanks for the thread, OpalCat. I didn’t really need to eat lunch today anyway.
I wonder if Frosted Flakes have given him any offers. He could be the real life Tony the Tiger.

You might be interested in “The Star Diaries” by Stanislav Lem. It discusses the future world where genetic manipulation becomes a part of the fleeting fashion trends of the day. One week, a third leg is in fashion, the next, turtle shells. Quite an excellent book. And that’s just one of the many short stories in this amazing book.
pldennison: hey, it would be EASY to take on the Tiger Man. One punch at the roots of his implanted whiskers and he’d go down bawling like a little baby.
:rolleyes:
If he moved into my neighborhood, I’d treat him the same way I treat everyone else. I never said he wasn’t welcome. I just think he looks funny, and not at all like a tiger. I don’t see who it hurts by saying it here.
Actually the word transgender does include drag queens, really its not about what they want to be as the tiger guy claims he does. Its about who they are. But, like I said both are attacked for basically the same reasons.

What a fucking idiot.
Oh get over yourself, BillH. Anyone who wants to look really tough but implants a bunch of dangerous implements in their face is a bit weak on the concept of danger.
I often see people with bodymods like a bar through the bridge of their nose just at the eyebrow line, and I wonder what would happen if their air bag went off, or if they ever got into fisticuffs and took a hit to the face. Sounds like a great idea, doesn’t it, implanting devices into your face that will increase the danger to oneself in an accident?
Go away. You just annoy everyone, and you can’t possibly be happy with yourself.
Talking about the joy you’d experience assaulting someone until they cry because you don’t like the way they look is beyond your usual insulting. It’s beyond your usual idiocy. It’s beyond your usual arrogence. It’s simply disgusting.
Just go away. You don’t have any friends here. Surely you don’t believe people respect the things you say. Go away.
Man, I hope I never run into Tiger man while out clubbing.
Lighten up Bill H. I never said I wanted to assault the guy. Someone made a comment that he looks too fierce to tangle with, I merely disagreed with that assessment and said he’s done precisely the thing that makes him a pushover if someone did want to take him on. And don’t generalize your opinions onto the whole SDMB userbase. I have friends here whether you like it or not.
Holly schmolly! You’re kidding right? I’d agree with your comment if you removed the first six words. I have no problem discussing the quality and accuracy of what he has done, but offering him up for ridicule is a bit excessive.
Would you agree with your statement if you were the subject rather than Tiger Man? Somehow I don’t think so. I know I’d be hurt/offended if someone started a thread to ridicule how I look.
No, you just said how much fun it would be to do so.
