Yes, large breasts can drop a guy's functional intelligence...

Category: Hootworthy
Posted on: February 22, 2008 3:30 PM, by Kevin Beck

...but I would have thought that an exception to this could occur when the breasts are actually part of a tattoo etched on the admirer's own calf.

Nope. Tara, now a veritable expert on tawdry cosmetic procedures gone horribly awry on the basis of just two outstanding reports in the past year, gives the run-down on an Edmonton man who, after having a surgeon friend endow his cowgirl tattoo with falsies, experienced an autoimmune reaction to the silicone.

The man noticed a problem when his leg -- or, if you prefer, his boobs -- swelled up as a result of lymphatic channel blockage (similar, based on the description of the problem, to that observed in elephantiasis caused by filarial worm invasion). When his leg-boobs finally split open two weeks after the initial "procedure," he treated it by freezing his le-boobs and stitching the wound closed himself. As the story confirms, this was not altogether efficacious.

I don't feel sorry for this guy, but to his credit he doesn't appear to feel very sorry for himself either.

Not sure why anyone would get a Clay Akin tattoo.

May be you are are right but it isn't always as you think, do you know that the "Kiss" is Just an acidic reaction stimulated by vision (as looking at a woman who sounds nice & not necessary for a large breast she owns). For me, i looks at breast as a functional organ not as a site of beauty...

And there is one more advantage for obesity: A large Canvas worthy of a Rembrandt scale work. I wonder what happens when people take up exercise and start losing surface area ? I am sure the shapes might skew rather than sag.
