Tattoo you .....don't think so!


I am waiting for the wife to finish getting ready to go to the TLC promo commercial which is shooting in Greenpoint somewhere today. We have a car picking us up at 6am which is fucking crazy.

Several of the big TLC stars will be there. Sister wives. Midgets. American Muslims. Even the tattoo guy from NY ink.

I know he is gonna tell me I need to get a tattoo. Tatto people always tell you how great it is. Not by me. I am gonna tell him "Thanks but no thanks. Tattoos are for pirates. Like parrots and peg legs. And I don't think I want any of them any time soon. But thanks for asking dude."

Tell him to put a tattoo of a parrot on your prosthetic leg. And careful with that hook, okay?

My old man was in the Navy in WW2. He never got a tattoo. He was so proud he didn't. When I was young he would always point out guys w/ tattoo's and say, "See..they look awful, don't EVER get one." And, my father wasn't a lecturer. He would say something once, forcefully if needed, but never harping. This is the only thing he harped on. He died in 1989 of a stroke. He would have strokes daily if he saw how tattoo's have become so ubiquitous in both sexes!

You're right about the craziness of having to be at some TV studio at 6 AM. Do everything possible to keep the ol' immune system strong. Massive doses of Vitamin C, fish oil pills, whatever it takes.

Instead of a tattoo of a parot, how about a live parrot on your shoulder? Just like a pirate.

If the midget farm works as a show, then you two should do just fine.

Sister wives! Oy, sorry but they creep me out.

Take magnesium ,along with the fish oil and vitamin C, and don't forget Vitamin D. The mineral most Americans are deficient in is Magnesium, buy chelated Magnesium , better to absorb.

Back when I was in the Marine Corps, I considered getting a tattoo. One reason for rejecting it was along the lines ndspinnelli pointed out: It would probably look stupid a few years down the line.

A big attraction at the time was that I thought it would be really painful. Not that I like pain, but it certainly adds cachet. Now that tattoos have become ubiquitous, it is obvious they are not painful. Most people are total pussies and tattoos would not be so common if they really hurt a lot.

You should consider getting a small "ty" tat.

Nice parrot AllenS!

No tats.

No piercings.

I don't even like bumper stickers.

I don't do "permanence", I guess.

Just gold and silver standards. FTFY

I can honestly say I don't know what you mean by that.
