I noticed the conversation about the bad Kanji tattoos. Well, here are two links you might like: this for Kanji: [link] and Bad Hebrew Tattoos: [link]

If anyone of you would ever want a Hebrew tattoo... ask first, people. Really. No, really. [link]

Edit:

I don't see anything different.

Agatha Christie's birthday!

Thanks for the Birthday Happies, Guys!

The birthday beach trip was good. When we went out on Saturday in Asbury Park to see what music we could find at one of the half-dozen venues it turned out that SPRINGSTEEN WAS PLAYING THE PONY!!!!

It was a seekrit show and, of course, sold out. But the Stone Pony is a really small place and the venue staff opened all the doors so a couple hundred people could linger in the parking lot and listen. It was gorgeous. We were WAY closer than we'd been at the Giant Stadium shows and were hearing him instead of a bunch of amplification. Srsly. I was about ten feet away from the man while he was playing -- there was just a cinderblock wall between us is all. He sounded simply incred.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY KARA MAI TWIN!!!!

Happy Birthday, PC!

Happy Birthday, Nora!

Congratulations on the solid food, Drew!

Oh, and I utterly reject the concept of a 'tramp stamp'. What the fuck does that even MEAN? That a woman who has tattoos has sex? Likes sex? Likes looking sexy? Fuck you world. Oooh! A RYHME! How utterly fucking clever. I'm not sure why a phrase so blatantly sexist and nasty is tossed around so readily by people of all ages and persuasions.

I mean, I KNOW how -- nobody thinks about how awful it is. Well it IS awful and it should stop. At the very least it should not be this acceptable.

Its a good place for a woman to put ink because it won't shift around too much with weight/pregnancy/etc and its easy to hide or show at will. Short of necks, faces, and hands a guy can dress nicely and hide anything. Women's clothes are much less forgiving bareness-wise. Seriously, fuck off -- its a great place for a woman to put ink and keep her options open.

(Mine is on my bicep and it does ok with a makeup cover because no one is really looking at the inside of your arm but that's a pretty ouchy spot.)

Ladies, if you want one there get one there. Take back your on body and your own asthetics. Seriously.

It's a tramp stamp because that's where your eyes are fixed when you're tapping that ass from behind, and that only happens with a trollop.

Google needs to alter its logo for Tom Hardy's birthday.

Aims is on my TV again!

Hush?

Mr. Willis of Ohio.

I should get mad that my cat(the black one, Tina Turner) nibbled on my Twinkie(for the Brits and Aussies this is a small spongecake with synthetic creme in the middle of it.) I've never seen a cat take an interest in one so that was kind of funny. Also, she is so timid generally that it seems like a healthy sign that she wanted something enough that my "No!" didn't stop her. Still, weird.ETA: Dying of jealousy of Trudy. ETA2: If you're worried about the election, there are tons of places who need GOTV people and early-ballot chasers, etc. Think about it.

Nibbling on Trudy's spicy brains. I also detest "wife beater" for a perfectly reasonable item of clothing.

Yeah, REALLY not ok with hearing my Dad (or anyone's Dad, and half the English speaking world) state that casually as fact.

Happy birthday, Nora!

I leave for Europe in five hours aaaaahhhh.

I have the same issue with tramp stamp and wife beater! Ah, the delicious hive mind.
