“And this is a picture of me contracting HIV at the gathering whoop whoop”

Evidently before the #gotj even started a dude bit his own tongue off and ate it while he was high. Bad things from the start.

No, he has been at all Hogrock GOTJs. His cart is kind of hidden, it’s off the beaten path tucked into the woods. They taste so fucking dank.

I mean his name is Burrito Man. You don’t get a name like that without knowing how to roll up some beef and cheese.

Weird ass shit hanging from hooks and all. WTF is that all about?

A suspension is the act of suspending a human body from hooks that have been put through body piercings. These piercings are temporary and are performed just prior to the actual suspension.

People have been hanging themselves from hooks for perhaps 5,000 years. The most ancient suspensions likely occurred in India, where suspension was a sort of religious penance. Devotees at the ancient Hindu festival Thaipusam, which continues to this day throughout Southeast Asia and is popular among Tamils, sometimes suspend themselves as part of a practice called vel kavadi, a rite in which worshippers undergo some form of hardship as an expression of debt bondage to the war god Murugan. Some who perform the vel kavadi pierce their flesh with skewers — stand-ins for the spear that Shiva’s wife, Parvati, gave to the god of war Murugan to kill the demon Soorapadam — and hooks. The pierced worshippers sometimes attach ropes to their hooks, which are pulled by other devotees or used to suspend the worshippers in the air. The level of pain the worshipper feels correlates with the level of devotion — the more pain, the more sincere the worship. Suspensions also occur at the Chidi Mari festival, another Tamil holiday.

Half a world away, on the banks of the Missouri River, the Mandan tribe suspended young warriors in an annual rite of passage ceremony that celebrated the creation of the earth. The Okipa ceremony, as it was called, required initiates to fast and hold vigil for four days, then dance, and lastly perform trials of endurance. The warriors-to-be had to prove their strength to their elders and the spirits. The young men were suspended from the roof of the tribe’s lodge by ropes attached to skewers in their chest, back or shoulders. To increase the pain, weights were attached to their legs. Cries of agony were considered cowardly. The warriors would faint and were brought down to be watched over by the men who presided over the ceremony. When an initiate woke up, it signified the spirits’ approval. 

The new initiates then had their left pinky removed with a hatchet, and finished the ceremony by racing around the village in a race called “the last race.” The skewers were still in place, the weights still attached. The Okipa ceremony was first documented by an outsider around 1835 when George Catlin, an American painter on an expedition with William Clark, produced a painting of the ceremony. The last Okipa ceremony took place in 1889. A variation of the Okipa ceremony was made famous in the 1973 film A Man Called Horse when Richard Harris’ character underwent a similar ceremony in order to gain acceptance from the Lakota tribe that had taken him prisoner.

Though many people who practice suspension see it as a spiritual experience and a way to test themselves, most suspensions today are not performed as religious sacraments or trials of endurance. For some, it’s a sort of, “If I can do this, I can do anything,” attitude. For others, it is akin to meditation. 

Modern suspension has been largely shaped by Fakir Musafar, a man who was born on an Indian reservation in South Dakota with the name Roland Loomis and developed, or brought back, many types of suspension. Musafar performed the Okipa suspension in 1963 and also coined the term “modern primitives” to describe a subculture that practices body modification with a particular interest in rite of passage rituals. For Musafar, and many others after him, body modification is a form of self-expression and spiritual exploration, a way to move beyond the body into a higher spiritual plane. But others who practice suspension today distance themselves from the sort of ritualistic elements espoused by Musafar, and instead choose to hang for the sake of hanging.
