Instead if trying to tape your hammer toe to a Popsicle stick splint, staple it to a board with roofing staples.
That might work for me! There is no feeling in that toe! They must have removed all the nerves when they tried to correct it surgically. I will give this some serious consideration. How long do you suppose I would have to leave it attached to get it to straighten out? Thanks!
That was my first thought when I saw it too and I made the mistake of Googling it. I seems to come from some instructions for proper technique to be used in theatrical productions. Possibly a text for a drama class. I think I was better off coming up with my own weird theories. Just thought I'd spoil it for the rest of you too.
The bottom left pic is definitely wrong for everything but trying to spit in her mouth. Points to you for getting both her feet off the ground (and thus violating the Hays Code), ace! Are you trying to go all the way or win a wrestling match?
How exactly is the bottom pic "right"? They're about topple over! Her parents would have a conniption if they saw that pose in their living room after a date!
"...Contemporary art’s job is to wreck what came before. Is there a better job description than that to aspire to? Here’s another trigger warning: Go out in the world and f— it up beautifully.
Design clothes so hideous that they can’t be worn ironically.
Horrify us with new ideas.
Outrage outdated critics.
Use technology for transgression, not lazy social living.
Make me nervous!
And finally, count your blessings. You got through college. You didn’t commit suicide, O.D., or have a nervous breakdown, and let’s remember the ones who did. It’s time to get busy. It’s your turn to cause trouble – but this time in the real world, and this time from the inside.

"This test is actually where the measurement “alcohol proof” comes from. The term originated in the 16th century, when payments to British sailors included rations of rum. To ensure that the rum had not been watered down, it was “proved” by dousing gunpowder with it and then testing to see if the gunpowder would ignite. If it did not, then the rum contained too much water and was considered to be “under proof”. Gunpowder would not burn in rum that contained less than 57.15% ABV. Therefore, rum that contained this percentage of alcohol was defined to have “100° (one hundred degrees) proof”. The gunpowder test was officially replaced by a specific gravity test in 1816."
