Calling Golden Palace-dot-com!
Remember a few months ago, when some woman offered to have any company's logo tattooed onto her forehead for (IIRC) ten thousand dollars, and the online casino Golden Palace.com took her up on it?

It's happening again.

According to this piece, a military wife named Grace Russo, whose husband is deployed to Afghanistan, is attempting to get $2500 together to hold a serious welcome-home party for the unit if it should return. She's also nucking futz, so she is offering, for the low price of $500, to shave her head bald, keep it that way for five months, and stencil anything, so long as it isn't political, anti-American or anti-military, on the side of her skull. (I'm guessin' she'll use mehndi--it's the best "not-quite-permanent" temporary tattoo going.) For a hundred large, she'll have it tattooed on.

Yes, she's auctioning off her head on eBay.

So why do I get the weird feeling that at the end of this auction, she's going to have "GoldenPalace.com" permanently etched into her scalp?
