[African lip plate] You are too late:

Holy Smoke! I had tongue firmly planted in cheek when I posted that, as I thought no one in this culture would be THAT stupid.

Mental illness is now a Constitutional right and anyone who suggests treatment of the latest psycho fad is guilty of discrimination, racism (everything is “racism” even if it doesn’t involve race), and (insert here)- phobia.

It just screamed out, “Hire Me!”

[Red Badger]

Yeah, if you’re hiring for Freak Show!...................

Wow, I hadn’t heard that name in years. I remember the baseball cards in the 50s/60s that came with wash-off tats. Fun for a day or so.

No, I don’t have any tats or piercings. Not my cup o’ soup.

That’s funny.

No forewarning here. Nope.

[Pelham]

No one must read Ray Bradbury’s ‘The Illustrated Man’.

All the warning you need....

He was depressed about not being able to find a girlfriend?...............

Oh, you shouldn't make assumptions about someone's sexuality based on only appearance. He might just as easily be depressed about not being able to find a boyfriend.

[Red Badger]

Or vice versa...................

No doubt he was told all this behavior was fine.
Who are to say what is normal?/s
Personal choice Not sign of mental illness.

The little Girl will end up going to the same Tattoo Parlor her Mother goes to.

I read it fifty years ago. Also later saw the movie.

Are you saying the biohazard tattoo is an HIV positive indicator?

From a distance, the lady looked like a test bed, so I assume her husband/boy friend was experimenting with his latest designs on her.

[Loud Mime]

Look it up. It appears that it is the case for an HIV positive person.

That was a good post, Mrs. Don-o, thank you for sharing it.

We are all sinners. And it has been my personal experience that one sin often makes it far easier to succumb to another sin, in a vicious cycle that consumes the spirituality.

Your post with St. Bernadine’s thoughts on this is something I will copy and keep.
