in tribal life, are there subcultures that scoff at the actions of the majority? is there a small group of outsiders in the amahuaca tribe sittin' on the sides, watchin' a tribal feast, and saying somethin' like "no wonder the world hates us?"

mr. mark likes the idea of living in trees. that's all.

encourage broken bones and bruises in your young men. it makes 'em less likely to buy a corvette, put their balding coif in a pony tail, and hit on employees of cosi and panera bread past the age of 40.

mr. mark ain't never met a slide he couldn't tackle.

u, black maybe, again, please?

could never tell you who hates who exactly. we all got our prejudices, put the pennies in the jar on that. maybe it's fascination. whenever i tried to kick it to that honey in high school, i'd get mad nervous and start flipping switches to see what she'd respond to. it'd end up with me talking about menstruation or somethin' i had no bizness disgusin' wit her.

same goes for the blackface awkwardness in south america. at least the blacker your face is, the finer you look in a 3 piece stitch, apparently.

yo baby, mr. mark can tell you a lot about toxic shock syndrome.

there are warnings on meat in latin america that caution "raw meat consumption may lead to blackface." yet, it still remains a delicacy. crazy world, yo.

maybe they only had a can of jolson 27 left.

mr. mark would like to warn that raw meat consumption can also make brown stuff in other places.

if society is reflected in how we treat our animals, then what does neutering say about the u.s.?
