For a minute there I thought this guy was writing about me...but I didn't have a degree in Pre-Renaissance art.

What a fascinating insight!
You see? A little oxygen to the brain and already you are making progress. No, no, my friend, no need to thank me. Just keep on breathing and see what wonders of cognitive adventure life has in store for you.

You know those agents won't dare let a single J out.
Otherwise, they'd have "Tiaunna".

Tats are fine for those who like them.
I just never saw a tat that I thought I'd want on my body for the rest of my life.

I have never particularly cared for tattoos and I would never have one. Something about my childhood barber's arm who survived the holocaust always disturbed me.
I told my kids to never get a tattoo as I would not look fondly upon it. One day my daughter came home with her tongue pierced.
I will never understand, and I wish that I had just shut up about such matters.
Once again Lileks writes with wit and keen observation.

Just show me the young ladies with a tattoo because I know that's someone willing to do something today that they will regret tomorrow.

OMG! Where was that picture taken?
I swear that guy works at our local Home Depot.
He's actually a nice guy once you get to know him, but the huge tattoos (and not just the ones on his scalp - the huge one on his neck, and the ones down both arms) are rather off-putting at first sight.
But my dog likes him, so he must be O.K. Of course, she's a Lab and she loves everybody . . .

Well, there was that time in the Navy when I wanted to get "Mom" tattooed on my bicep and it turned out there was only room for "om." Humiliating.

One day my daughter came home with her tongue pierced. Ha. Theres a dumb radio show called Loveline that has Dr. Drew and Adam Corolla as hosts (or did at the time). Dopey kids call up with stupid questions about sex and drugs and stuff.
One day a girl called in because she had pierced her clitoris. Her boyfriend had several piercings in his penis, but one was some sort of a hoop piercing on the end of his penis.
So anyway, during the course of having sex with her, his hoop somehow got tangled up with her piercing and tore it out. Then it started to get infected and she was all worried about it. Ha.
