Hi, RM!

OOOH-OOOH, CATFIGHT!

This is just AMAZING to me...and I for one would love to read the continuation of his story after he fell off my radar. Like I say, SURVIVOR stories are so beneficial! However, my favorite song is "A Painter Passing Through", and he does say, and I'm paraphrasing, "And now I am old, let me rest." Let's do so and just enjoy the beauty of the music! :rolleyes:

moderator here.. ;0

my goodness..a little insight (welcome or not by the individual reader) and the spit hits the fan with personal digs.

lets move on..

I contemplated a tattoo for my 50th in July 2005..it was to be a tattoo that said "TATTOO".. OR the monogramme of the initials "GL" with the G and L intertwined.

BUT - I didn't get one..wimped out..
perhaps Billyboy will accompany me if he's up here in May..bring the Grand Marnier!
(I'll ask Mr. GL where he had his applied)
Hey Billyboy - you can get a first peek of what it is and its location..
lol
;)
HA - gotcha Billyboy!
c ya in May!

IF you folks were so inclined to get a tattoo what would it be? Why? And Where?

You'll never see me with a tattoo (although I liked the idea of "TATTOO" being the tattoo), unless I was forced to get one at gunpoint. If that were to happen, I would have "KICK ME" written on my back. Why ? Because life's a joke looking to happen.

And no folks, I'm not billyboy. I have actually gotten four tattoos in my day. Two are covered by the last one, so it looks like I still have two. I have the "Don't Tread On Me" with the snake deal from my USMC roots on my right outer bicep. Then I have the covering black rose on my left forearm. It covers a name and a flower added to the name. Which goes back to the advice for men: if you get a name tattoo it better be your Mom or Daughter because they'll never change, LOL.

My other option was a black panther's head, which covers well but I wanted to soften the old hardcore image a bit so I went for the rose.

Now my wife and I have a deal - if I refrain from any more ink she won't get anymore holes in her ears. Been working now for over 20 years, LOL.

Sorry folks - but the moderator asked. I had to tell.

Bill :)

Cutest idea I've heard is one of my friends said he'd get a tattoo on his right big toe and it would say, "Place tag here."

I'd get one of either the Southern Cross or Orion's Belt (my dad was a navigator and taught me a love of the stars) on my left back shoulder blade, and if I get it, it's gonna be in Tahiti as a wonderful souvenir. If I put it back there, and it droops with age, it won't look pathetic like a weepy Roadrunner or something!

I've heard there's a "bad jou-jou" type feeling" going on in Hollywood that once you have your lover's name tattooed on your body, it's for sure you're gonna break up! Poor Johnny Depp, he had "Winona Forever" tattooed and had to change it to "Wino Forever" when he broke up with Winona Ryder. I think Billy Bob Thornton and Angelina Jolie had to have some removed as well, so there might be some truth to it! :confused:

I don't have any tattoos currently, but if I were to get one, I'd want a snake around my ankle. I know, a lot of people hate snakes and find them scary, but I've always been drawn to them ever since I was a kid. (I used to go look for them in the prairie down the street from my house.) They're mysterious and graceful and have been prominent symbols in mythology for thousands of years.
