This is a thread about tongue splitting.

It seems to be the new "in" thing to do. I am actually considering. I think it looks pretty cool... sort of like in a Doctor Cur Connors as the Lizard sort of way.
No, I'm only kidding. I would never, ever allow that to happen to me. Maybe I'm getting old, but anyone considering this is seriously too goddamn stupid to be taken seriously by anyone at any time.
Here is a link. I'm not saying that there's a picture of some dumb kid holding his split tongue apart, the proudest he's ever been in his life, but I'm not saying there's not, either.
I do wonder: is this at all like how my father threw my brother out of the house when he got an earring? Am I acting in the same manner?
I hope not. I have no problem with people getting tattoos, or piercings, or even bowl haircuts. Live and let be, I say. But geez -- you need your tongue. It allows you to speak as an adult like the rest of us. I am actually pretty paranoid that the little flap underneath my tongue might someday get sliced -- it gives me the shivers, and was one of the reasons that I was opposed to getting braces all those years ago (I didn't want sharp metal anywhere near my mouth, though luckily my mother didn't care and forced me to get braces anyway).
The generation that is our parents are in power in the Senate and in Congress right now, and they are a bunch of disgusting hypocrites: their parents demonized rock and roll records and they do the same thing with video games and rap music. I would hope that I am not doing the same in twenty years, but goddamn, getting yourself a forked tongue just seems ridiculously, collosally stupid.
