Tom Cruise will deliver a series of four lectures on topics related to "The Modern Science of Mental Health" beginning next month.
If Tom Cruise hadn't existed, our sense of the absurd would have had to create him.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This just makes me laugh and laugh and laugh. I see it strapped to Wile E. Coyote's back and him crashing into a GIANT rock.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
The meaning differs between ethnic groups, but very popular with gangs.
Hmm. I wonder if I'll ask the krav instructor who has one. He's very colourful. I've also noticed it here at work on some of the cafeteria staff.
Randomly, I just learnt that this used to be a Chumash area. I hope I don't get the funny syphilis.

What is even happening?
This is not from the Onion.
You know how we have NATLBSB in the FAQ? Tom Cruise is starting to make me think we need a SNFTO (Sadly, Not From The Onion) entry, as well.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

After digging further, I find that it also can be a non-gang tattoo, and that it symbolizes "I don't care for anything". In Hispanic gangs, it's used to signify "Mi vida loca" - Los Vatos Locos seem to be especially fond of it.
And considering some of the sites that've come up, I'm not Googling anymore on my work computer. Phew.

I'm right there with you. I read that and I nearly fell out of my chair laughing.

Now I need to check the krav instructor for open teardrops.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That is brilliant, Cindy. Though possibly it should just be NFTO, as the NFTO-ness is sometimes sad, sometimes astounding, sometimes gobsmacking, and occasionally just remarkable or inexplicable.
I think the Tom Cruise lectures are all of the above, though I'm very disappointed that they'll just be at the Scientology Celebrity Center. I was hoping for the Learning Annex.
