I didn't know that! I want to write a poem about that now! Wow. I wonder if those tattoos saved any lives.
I'm not sure of his tattoo. It's funny because my dad had an old friend from his bar days who had Hail Mary printed on his chest. He said he had it done when he was a child and wanted to be a priest. Later, he told me -- I was 10 at the time and still attending CCD/Pretty darn Catholic -- It was to remind him that religion & love cause people to do stupid things.
I liked the guy, even when offensive, because he was so kind to everyone he met. He just had diarrhea of the mouth. My father told him, then, to "Shut the F Up," slapped him on the back, and bought him a beer.
I guess being like my dad isn't always a bad thing :).

i can sometimes master is quite well -- something about the smile you give with the firmness of your voice -- and sometimes i'm hell on wheels. kind of like how he was.
i wish i knew why he didn't become a priest. like a lot of my dad's drinking buddies, he eventually stopped coming around once my dad stopped going out as much. i remember that he always smelled like sawdust and whiskey. i liked that smell. he was a good guy.
i love secret (different) languages. kind of like how nomads used to mark homes' fences to say which offered work, which housed dishonest men, and which had the best food.
something to be said of symbols or languages made out of necessity, out of survival.
Not sure if I did: I've seen the Library Porn business and passed it on, but I'm not sure if I posted about it here (i.e. It's hard to keep track of where I plop things: Facebook, my outside blog, here, email, etc.).
LOLZ to you giving your county IT headaches. HILARIOUS!
The link would be this one. And every time I need to track down publication information for DVDs, I run into a website that I can't access because of pornography. Between my RPG addiction (on breaks, of course) and the legit searches I run for my job, IT prolly things all I do is gamble and look up pr0n all day.
