Doggedly searching for the crux of the biscuit.
A website dedicated to knuckle tattoos.
"I got my knuckles tattooed yesterday. I chose to dawn them with the term SHITFACE. Since I was 15 my best friend and I made up an alter ego for myself named Assy McShitface, it later became my stage name for the various bands that I’ve been in. I decided to make the name forever, and get the knuckles tattooed."
"Assy McShitface" doesn't quite have the pleasing ring to it as "Robust McManlyPants", now does it? Of course "Manly Pants" won't fit on your knuckles either, so I guess it's a wash.
And only having eight letters to work with is an interesting constraint. It's like tatoo haiku.

Posted by: Ashley at March 30, 2008 12:00 PMHey! If you click on the "Knuckle Tattoo Gun" link you can type in your own text and it will show you what it looks like on somebody's knuckles and give you a link so you can show other people.
I think. It won't load the picture for me right now. Last night I couldn't even get the site itself to load, so maybe they're having bandwidth issues with all the newfound fame links on BoingBoing and Fark bring.
It's probably not as fun as the Church Sign Generator, but still kind of cool.
