Oddity

The Resume

    (June 12, 1972- )
    Born in Fort Campbell, Kentucky
    Sideshow performer
    Underwent tattooing and body modification to look like a lizard
    Appeared in the film 'Boxboarders!' (2007)

Why he might be annoying:

    The only parts of his body not tattooed are the palms of his hands, the soles of his feet, the tip of his penis and his testicles.
    In addition to a full-body tattoo of green scales, he had several teeth sharpened, had Teflon implanted above his eyes to form horned ridges and had his tongue split.
    He said of his non-reptilian elements, 'If you really need to nitpick then think of it as a lizard-man with stretched earlobes and tattoos on his chest and arms.'
    He dropped out of a PhD program to become a lizard.
    He claimed his transformation was inspired by 'some of the principles put forth by Wittgenstein in his later works.'
    He formed a band called Lizard Skynyrd.
    He is a vegetarian and said that when his tongue was being split with a laser, 'It was the first meat I'd tasted in twenty years.'

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a National Merit Scholar finalist and attended college on a full academic scholarship.
    He has mastered several classic sideshow stunts, such as fire eating, sword swallowing and the bed of nails.
    It is estimated that the work he had done would cost $250,000 at full price, but he got much of it done for free or at a reduced price.
    He was MC for the Jagermeister Music Tour, appearing onstage with Slipknot, Slayer and Disturbed.
    He denied rumors that he planned to undergo a tail transplant, noting it would be impossible.
    One interviewer concluded, 'The most shocking thing about someone who has spent two decades turning himself into a cold blooded reptile, is that he is a very warm and charming man.'
