Thinking of one gal in particular. Boy was I in love with her.

But she had issues. Thought I could save her. Because we all want to be the knight in shining armor.

The only guy that could save her she was ashamed and afraid to ask for help.

Because she had an abortion 15 years before I met her when she was 17. And it was driving her mentally insane.

She made things SO MUCH worse by being SURE she was being punished and that disturbing God would bring more punishment, even asking for forgiveness.

Sad story. Sadder ending. Best forgotten.

I’ve never seen Toy Story (*gasp*!), but wasn’t there something similar in that? I think I remember reading that Joss Weedon snuck an atheist plotline in that. About toys in a crane game, or something.

inked up on thin skin is an unattractive look. But then who cares about perceptions these days.

"When the attractive girl ages a few years and spreads a few pounds it doesn’t look so good anymore."

Exactly. Any tattoo, after a few years, loses that colorful appeal as it turns into that blue grey eye sore. What was an incredibly expensive showpiece of color and art, is short lived to become an ugly disfigurement of the body. What a delusion is this entire phony fetish.

Bingo. There has never been a more obvious case of pushing a “celebrity” onto us than this. Magazine covers, this stupid book, Twitter wars over imagined slights, “controversy” in her stand-up act, all of a sudden you can’t even walk past the TV in the airport or the gym or the electronics section without seeing her stupid mug.

If you think the book is about tattoos, you really need to get out more.

That movie was an excuse for him and his Canadian ‘comedians’ to get stoned out of their gourds and make videos of it. I honestly don’t think that person would even pass the 6th grade exit tests.

Perhaps you're right, but then again one might consider it "living art." The natural progression of all things. :0)

I also think that occasion and feeling might have a role in this (or once did for men anyway). My dad never got past the 5th grade - grew up poor in SC and slaved for his daddy on a sharecropped piece of land. He left in 1939 and joined the Army and was with it for the duration of the war.

He was a cook who served from Africa, through Sicily, Italy and Rome up through to Germany where he was part of the occupation forces. He'd been part of the Army Air Corps and in 1947 when he got transferred to the new Air Force with the rest of AAC, he got a forearm tattoo to commemorate the event. It stayed on his arm through Germany, Korea, then onto Eniwetok tests and so many places overseas it's hard to count. It's a wonder he found time to get home and marry my mom.

I remember the tattoo as he, and it, aged and I always marveled over it. Not for how it looked as the years went by, but the story it told.

That said, I never got a tattoo, nor do I think they are needed on women, frankly.

Pure media creation here. Not interested. It’s like playing with old yeast and about as funny.

The publishing companies have been paying huge advances for a long time even for those who would pay to have their books published. It is one way of diverting money to select individuals. A stupid way of running a business if they are interested in making profits.

Oh, good God. That's her?

I used to appreciate beer commercials, they could occasionally be quite entertaining (This one is my absolute all time favorites: Budweiser Driver's Test...I still laugh, though I must have seen it dozens of times!

I don't watch television in general, but I do watch football, so I have seen these stupid, STUPID, Budweiser commercials. All I can figure is it must be some approach that resonates with Millenials, because I don't see the humor in it at all. I am onboard with some ribald humor or double meanings, but their attempt at it with their "We have the largest caucuses in the nation" line seemed only like kids finding out they can get a response by saying a dirty word.

And the only one who creeps me out more than Amy Schumer in these commercials is that ultra-creepy Progressive Insurance woman...
