If tatoos are the ultimate impulsive act, then what is this?

[lumberjack_jeff]

Gotta be right up there. Hall of fame kind of deal.

[RichardRay]

1. Probably preferable to this?

[Hepburn]

2. OMFG....

...I hope that is just make up! :wow:

[RichardRay]

77. It's the real deal....

He teaches communications (!!!) at the University of New Mexico.

http://cityrag.blogs.com/main/2006/10/tattooed_teache.html

[Hepburn]

105. Well, I guess that is his way of...

...communicating? :shrug:

Frankly, if I were a student, I would have chosen a black and white email message over that! :hi:

[yellowcanine]

3. Maybe it is not permanent? One can only hope.

[Marrah_G]

6. I don't know, that is a toss up

The first one is pretty damn creepy. Having any politicians face permanently marked on your arm....

Creepy...

I would definitely question this person's judgment.

Could you imagine if he lost?

[hokies4ever]

That rainbow face actually looks kind of cool :-)

:rofl:

[lumberjack_jeff]

8. That's definitely a bold statement.

But, 20 years later, tatoo face guy still gets comments from kids saying "Cool tatoo mister!". While his politically aware brother only gets a "What the fuck were you thinking getting a Michael Dukakis tatoo on your leg?"

[The Doctor.]

34. Uhhhh.... that's an airbrushing in the OP.

Either way... so what?

[lumberjack_jeff]

48. If it's an airbrush deal, that's great.

If it's a tattoo, he's stuck with him.

I like Hillary, but I'd opt for the airbrush.

[The Doctor.]

72. I'd call it a gamble.

If he turns out to be a great president, then it wouldn't be such a bad tattoo. I'd wager that'd be the eventuality.

I can't imagine too many people are happy with their Bush tattoos by now. It's tantamount to carving "I'm a political imbecile" on your body.

[lumberjack_jeff]

82. Bill Clinton was a great president by any measure.

But I'd still be disinclined to carry a photo of him to the shower.

[Max_powers94]

9. Dragon Ball -Z ????

[Doityourself]

15. Damn! Ouch...imagine doing your whole face...

[RichardRay]

75. No airbrush, it's the real deal.

http://cityrag.blogs.com/main/2006/10/tattooed_teache.html

[AllentownJake]

4. Bad tat

My FDR one on my shoulder is better.

[lumberjack_jeff]

14. An FDR tatoo would be cool.

A Walter Mondale one? I dunno.

Just sayin, I'd wait until after the election before hopping into the chair.

[AllentownJake]

23. I'd wait a few years after the Presidency

Not just the election. Even if Obama wins...what happens if he does something really stupid.

Any person short of your own children or someone who is dead is pretty stupid to tatoo on yourself.

[XemaSab]

78. Seriesly

I'd feel like a dork with a Bill Clinton tat right about now. :P

[SwampG8r]

31. so you admit it will be him in the general election?

and we will see you supporting him openly?

[lumberjack_jeff]

36. Yes and yes.

Until then, his policy, experience and priorities put him in second place.

[RoadRage]

61. I've scrubbed & scrubbed.. but this George W. Bush tat just WON'T come off!

[lumberjack_jeff]

64. It won't let us see the image...

... can you provide a link?

[mcctatas]

5. Nothing compared to this....

(and it's on a guy's leg, if he doesn't shave, Hillary will end up looking like a dude;) )

[greguganus]

19. It even has her 5 o'clock shadow. n/t

[SurfingAtWork]

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was that "fail" poster that says

"and that shit is permanent".

[rox63]

45. That actually looks like it was spray-painted on instead of a tattoo n/t

[Beacool]

96. That's a horrible picture of Hillary!!

:scared:

[mcctatas]

106. I know....

I'm not a big Hillary fan (although, I will support her to the nth degree if she gets the nomination), but it doesn't even look like her. She is a pleasant looking woman and that tattoo looks deranged....

[Straight Shooter]

7. I think that would qualify for the ultimate obsessive act. n/t

[SemiCharmedQuark]

10. Than here's the ultimate Clinton obsessive:

[Straight Shooter]

38. Yup. That's really really bad.

Neither tattoo is actually recognizable for the subject matter. x(

[mcctatas]

11. pssst....

look up ^

[NashVegas]

12. That Looks Like a Very Young

Bill Cosby

Maybe it was someone who really admires his work.

[Renew Deal]

13. Maybe this person really likes Don Cheadle?

:shrug:

[Blue-Jay]

20. I really like Don Cheadle!

[PBS Poll-435]

30. That is kinda what I thought!

He was excellent in Traffic.

[Renew Deal]

39. And Crash

Any coincidence? :D

[PBS Poll-435]

47. Then I can't WAIT for :

Fender Bender:
A riveting story about a man, the car that he loves, and a run-away shopping cart hell-bent on detroying everything it its path.

Christmas 2008

:P

[SwampG8r]

32. lou rawls?

[bunnies]

16. tattoos are ultimate impulsive act?

Talk out of your ass much?

[lumberjack_jeff]

26. You don't get out of GD: P much, do you? n/t

[Renew Deal]

43. Who let you out of your cage?

:shrug:

[bunnies]

52. You dont follow conversations very well, do you.

Lets see... someone calls you on making shit up... and you act like a 10 year old.

[lumberjack_jeff]

55. You call yourself "bunnies" and accuse others of acting like 10 year olds?

I'm not quite sure what in my op constitutes "making shit up"... can you elaborate?

[Sundoggy]

58. OH SNAP!!!...

Or, like, not so much.

[bunnies]

67. "tattoos are the ultimate impulsive act"

Got proof bunny hater?

edit: sp

[Sundoggy]

71. It was true in 1985 and it's true now

"Getting a tattoo is like having platform shoes surgically attached to your feet."

[bunnies]

73. And your proof is where?

:shrug:

[lumberjack_jeff]

79. You need proof that tattoos are impulsive?

Hang out with some 60 year olds instead of 20-somethings.

[bunnies]

84. You said: "the ultimate impulsive act"

I said: bullshit, prove it.

You CANT prove it. Because its bullshit.

Thanks for playing. Game over.

[lumberjack_jeff]

87. LOL

no really. LOL.

[muryan]

91. Whats wrong with tattoos

And for most people its not an impulsive act, my buddy does body art and for the past few weeks we've been fine tuning a design that I'll be getting. I hardly call that impulsive

[lumberjack_jeff]

95. Getting a tattoo of say, a girlfriend is impulsive.

Getting a tattoo of a primary candidate, more so.

It's your skin, do what you want with it. If you choose a pop culture icon for the tattoo, you run some risk that it'll be less cool tomorrow than it is today.

[muryan]

99. Agreed with the first part, not so much with the second

I know a guy who has a tattoo of Archie Bunker, is it relevant today? no. But he knew it wouldn't be forever and got it regardless. Pretty good conversation starter too.

[lumberjack_jeff]

101. I know a guy who has a barrel of monkeys, arms linked, around his ankle.

I think it's muy cool.

[BlooInBloo]

17. Who *is* that?

[lumberjack_jeff]

21. Sorry, forgot the link

http://wonkette.com/393654/somebody-got-an-obama-tattoo-on-hisher-leg

[BlooInBloo]

25. Whoa - is it just too early in rhe morning for me, or does that not look a whole lot like Obama?

[lumberjack_jeff]

28. Well if he bends his knee just so...

... it looks like he's got his nose in the air. So, yeah, I can see the resemblance. ;)

[SemiCharmedQuark]

18. Did you see this Clinton' supporters tattoo of her?

http://www.anorak.co.uk/anorak-in-new-york/183920.html

[greguganus]

22. Looks like a parasitic twin growing out his butt. n/t

[lumberjack_jeff]

24. Yes. Three times. In this thread alone. n/t

[Sundoggy]

29. Wanna see it again?

Payback is a something or other, isn't it?

[lumberjack_jeff]

44. It was funny the first time.

After that it isn't really paybacks, it's more like a horrible, brutal, brutal attack caught on film

[Sundoggy]

46. No, it's more like a...

Monty Python episode wher they repeat the gag and it gets funnier and funnier each time.

Sorry for not following your link, I'll bet it was something that made your point with stunning clarity.

[lumberjack_jeff]

51. Well then thanks for providing the knee-slapping hilarity to my thread. n/t

[Sundoggy]

53. Not a problem!

All of us are happy to help "augment" threads of this nature.

[lumberjack_jeff]

56. And kick it to the top of the page! Thanks! n/t

[Sundoggy]

57. You don't understand at all

I WANT this sort of idiocy to be seen far and wide.

[lumberjack_jeff]

65. Me too.

Oh, I see what you're saying. You think that posting a photo of an Obama tattoo is idiotic; unlike posting multiple copies of a Hillary tattoo in the same thread, or for that matter, the act of getting an Obama tattoo itself.

Me? For the owners sake, I hope it was an airbrush job.

[Sundoggy]

70. I am perfectly happy with the situation

that you don't see how hilariously you set yourself up to be pwnd. It doesn't surprise me that you don't seem to get the punch line.

Peace.

[lumberjack_jeff]

76. Has anyone over 20 ever used the pseudo-word "pwnd"?

Where I come from, words have vowels.

See, the difference is that I'm not personally offended if a Hillary supporter got a HRC tattoo. It's just dumb. Hearing "the punch line" multiple times doesn't make it funnier.

An Obama tattoo appears to elicit a different reaction. Care to speculate why?

[BlooInBloo]

83. I'm over 30 and I use it all the time.

Yes, I realize that's not necessarily a compliment. :P


EDIT: Wow - forgot both subject AND verb. (goes for another cup of coffee)

[Sundoggy]

86. I'm 52

and more computer savvy than you will ever DREAM about being. It's my lingo and I'll use it any time I want.

[BlooInBloo]

89. Hm - I think my jumping in threw off your intended reply targeting?

(jumps back out of the way)

[Sundoggy]

90. LOL sorry bloo

Kinda pwned myself there didn't I? LOL!

[BlooInBloo]

92. Not as bad as me leaving out the subject AND the verb in my previous post!

I hate self-pwns!

[lumberjack_jeff]

93. Three weeks at DU is like that.

We all have computer savvy up the ass. But it's really not about owning a linux pc, it's about language.

Typos without vowels shouldn't be words. You're fully entitled to use language any way you want. Sometimes it even catches on in the general sense.



... but that's not always good.

[Sundoggy]

98. Your reactionary literary criticism noted, LOL

As well as your "three weeks" comment. The last refuge of the defeated poster... "I've been here longer than you."

Sonny... and I use the term pointedly... I have been on the Web talking politics since there WAS a Web. Before that, I was doing it in the newsgroups.

Linux? LOL! Sonny, I do real UNIX, or did twenty years ago. I INVENTED online graphics. I know over a dozen computer languages. You're going to get nowhere on that track.

How old are you, again? Do you even REMEMBER when there wasn't an Internet?

Choose your foes more wisely.

[lumberjack_jeff]

102. It's been a while since anyone called me "sonny". Thanks.

I'm 46 and I know how to use a TI-30. I built a sinclair. I was the sysadmin for an at&t 3b2-300. I know novell 3.11.

And my dick is bigger.

[Sundoggy]

103. Oh yeah?

Peace then, fellow geezer.

[lumberjack_jeff]

104. Us geezers have to stick together.

:hi:

[lumberjack_jeff]

97. It's alright, we got the gist.

:hi:

[grantcart]

81. well it was a coincidence they were all posted within 2 minutes of each other

[lumberjack_jeff]

85. ... by the rugged individualist/free thinker brigade. n/t

[Sundoggy]

88. Hey, we're not lumberjacks, but we're OK

Alert: "Obamabot" comment coming any time now.

[lumberjack_jeff]

100. Yeah, mostly.

But I'd never say something like that. Y'all can be so unpredictable when anyone suggests that you suffer from excess uniformity.

"Unpredictable"? Not really, I suppose. The squeal of indignation is always in G-sharp.

[gort]

68. So, he's a Phyllis Diller fan

what does this have do with the OP?

:sarcasm:

[JimGinPA]

27. Airbrush Art

[lumberjack_jeff]

33. Wonkette says it's a tatoo

By Studio 13 in Fort Wayne Indiana.

(every time I hear mention of that city, I think of Rosanne Rosannadanna)</digress>

[JimGinPA]

42. Don't Believe Everything You Read...

Even from a source as reliable as Wonkette.

[lumberjack_jeff]

50. Chah! You have to tell a DU'er that? n/t

[crispini]

37. You know, that DOESN'T look like a tat to me, now that you mention it.

There's white in it. Tats don't usually have white highlights. (Is that even possible?) Plus, it's very fresh and colorful, almost like it's brand new, but there's no redness like you would usually see in a fresh tat.

[JimGinPA]

54. One Of My Good Friends Is An Airbrush Artist....

I've seen a lot his of his "body work".

[Swamp Rat]

35. Bad Photoshop

x(

[texastoast]

40. Impulsive? Sometimes.

Regretted? Almost always.

[PoliticalAmazon]

41. Unfortunate. Age and time does odd things to tattoos....

Many women who got tattoos of butterflies on their hooters are going to end up with some sad looking butterflies as they age.

[texastoast]

49. I got my tatooed niece a birtday card

of two old men sitting on the porch of a retirement home in 2050 trying to guess what each other's tatoos were. "Mermaid?" "Eagle?" "Race car?"

:rofl:

[VolcanoJen]

59. Ummm, that's a pretty crappy photoshop.

:shrug:

[ElsewheresDaughter]

60. it doesn't even look like him-

and that's just nuts

[EstimatedProphet]

62. I'm sure that's now on the must-have list of several DUers

[Bucky]

63. Is that a Duwayne from "What's Happening?" tatoo?

[lumberjack_jeff]

66. As the owner ages, it'll look more like Re Run.

[FlaGranny]

69. That is wrong on so many levels.

If it's a tattoo, the person who got it is crazy. The tattoo is not very good either. The nose is wrong, lips are wrong, color is wrong, ears are wrong. It only vaguely resembles Obama.

[otohara]

74. You Should Have Googled

Hillary supporter tattoo - and you would have found that guy with Hill on his hairy leg.

[lumberjack_jeff]

80. One needn't google.

We've all seen it multiple times, three in this thread alone.

Some jokes never get old, I guess. To the teller, anyway.

[Beacool]

94. Wow!!!!!!!!!

I thought that I had seen it all this campaign season!!!!!!

:wow:
