Your Tattoos

Suppose all of this jimmybobness is method acting? Suppose he's writing a novel about a total asshole, and he thinks he has to act the part to get it right?

I sure do hope it's successful for him. All that sphincter action for nothing, imagine...
 
I hope your fiction isnt as blabbery as your comments; it takes you forever to make your point. Trash comes in all age groups; I've said it before: When you breed rats why are you surprised when they have rats?

You definition of trash must include a lot of good people, JBJ. I am a stay at home mum. I have been with my husband for the last nearly twenty years. I love him and have never even considered cheating on him. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs and I have spent the last few years going back to school. I'm kind to animals and old people and I've never been to jail. If I am trash, only saints must be good people in your eyes or are you prepared to condemn people for just one thing, a thing that hurts no one?

Sweety, "prepared" is not really the word here, because that would assume a sense of future actions and jim does not think about the future. He doesn't "prepare" to insult people, he just does. it's like Tourettes or something, and he is not taking his medication-- you cannot argue with a nutbar.
 
Please, please, please stop with the Southern stereotypes. Jim lives in Florida, which isn't even considered Southern.

If you only realized how off those stereotypes really are. *sigh*

If I remember right, he said he grew up in North Carolina. But maybe I'm wrong.

Not excusing the stereotypes.

I guess Florida is not the 'real south' eh? Must be too many of those Northern types getting away from the snow?

If JB isn't a stereotype What is he?

Maybe Alabama is more modern that Florida. I guess they have electric lights and all that fancy stuff now.

Part of you knows I'm right, or you wouldnt be trying to change my mind.

No, it's because I am flabbergasted that someone who occassionally shows flashes of brilliance would believe something so patently stupid. I mean really, you're serious?

Of course I'm serious.
 
I'm 60. Who are you, MENSA?

Man, I though you were much older. I thought, give your attitude you would have had to have been in your seventies. You need to talk to my husband about a radical defogification. Yes, you too can lose your inner fogey and drag yourself into this century.

Being wrong probably happens to you a lot, when you try and think, I mean.

That's hilarious because amongst the people who know me well, I am the one who tend to be right 9 times out of ten. Ah, JBJ, insulting me further is not going to dig yourself out of the hole you've found yourself in. The general advice in these situations is to stop digging.

I imagine that the crowd you run with thinks of you as a combination plate-spinning Topo Gigio act from the old Ed Sullivan Show.

I will repeat myself as you seem to be a little slow. See above. You forget the geritol today?
 
Look at this. Someone starts a nice tattoo thread to work on a story and what happens? Shit gets slung everywhere. Oh well, at least it's entertaining. :D

So, James. I have a bit of a personal question or two. And seriously, there is no malice in this at all, there are no baited or loaded questions and I am not trying to be an asshole.

What caused you to form your conclusions on tattooing, and if you found out someone you respected previously had a tattoo, would that change your opinion of them?

I am not going to start an argument or try to change your mind. I am just wondering. Feel free to respond by PM if you feel like. Or, conversely, not at all.

Hi vrose. :)

Hi Sarg. How's Korea? :D He called me a skank, not because I do anything skanky, just because. He opened fire first. H'es an angry dude and he openly admits he stirs the shit out of people for kicks. Sometimes that's gunna bite you in the arse.

Before I answer your question I want to say this: What transpires on these threads is excellent writing material; its rarely the sort of play-acting that happens in creative writing courses. And I excel at jerking knots in people's tails to elicit real responses. Keep this in the back of your mind.

Tats. I go with the stats. I appreciate that not all lions roaming the streets are dangerous, and I have no intentions of doing a Baye's Probablility Test to sort them out. About 80% of serial killers wear tats, about 75% of antisocial personalities wear them, most gang-bangers and skin-heads wear them. See where this is going?
