When I was a kid tattoos were only sported by people on the fringe of society like bikers and junkies. When I was in my 20s tattoos became de rigueur symbols of one's rebellious phase. Today, in my 40s, I see full sleeve tattoos an immediate cue that I might be dealing with a right wing goon. The celtic wrap tat around a bicep is as conformist as Johnny Unitas' haircut.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2020, 9:14pmNothing makes me trust a cop more than a vomit of tattoos covering his arms.

I will also accept amputation.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑10 Jun 2020, 8:16pmLast week the Marines banned the stars and bars from its bases. Which mainly made me think, you were cool with the battle flag of secessionists before?

Credit to them for banning the shit though.

Congratulations! You've survived long enough to be sneered at by the generation following you.

Makes me think of Jello Biafra's line about metal fans: "No gym teacher could get so many kids to dress alike."

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
There was an interview from maybe ten years ago (maybe more?) where he said that speed metal was about all he found interesting in new music. I believe it was in response to a question about what current punk bands he liked.JennyB wrote: ↑15 Jun 2020, 1:51pmHe did.

Re: Return of the Mighty Observations Thread
Well, I had my first ever tick bite, which is weird considering I grew up playing in the woods. They gave me a single does of doxycycline, but after reading up on the single-does effectiveness, I'll just wait and see.
