How do you say yes in Klingon again?

I've kinda always wanted Krakatoa to erupt again. I read stories that people heard the eruption from like countries away. Be cool to see if it was true.

I’ve never watched it but I’ve been told it’s a good show.

Sopranos is a superb show.

Really, as mediums go, and as an art historian, tattoo artists don’t get enough respect. Quite a few of them are fantastic artists. It’s a branch of art I’m sad to say I never studied much but I’m trying to remedy that.

On the plus side, if Futurama is correct then all art will be tattooed on fat guy's beer bellies in the future.

I need to go get a haircut in the morning although I'd really rather procrastinate it forever and just suffocate under my ever growing hair.

I'm the only one in my family without one. Both brothers, my mom, my step-dad and sister-in-law all have tattoos. I did once think about getting a 24 tattoo, you know cause Jeff Gordon. But he retired that year and they gave his number to someone else.

I have several tattoos. Nine to be exact. I’m a fan of black ink tattoos myself. Considered getting a white ink tattoo once but after a consult with the artist, I decided against it. White ink tattoos do not fare well once they heal.

I panic when drawing a second line. I can never have enough respect for those with the confidence to draw on another persons skin.

She asks me why
I'm just a hairy guy
I'm hairy noon and night
Hair that's a fright
I'm hairy high and low
Don't ask me why
Don't know
It's not for lack of bread
Like the Grateful Dead
Darling

Gimme head with hair
Long beautiful hair
Shining, gleaming,
Streaming, flaxen, waxen

Give me down to there hair
Shoulder length or longer
Here baby, there mama
Everywhere daddy daddy

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Let it fly in the breeze
And get caught in the trees
Give a home to the fleas in my hair
A home for fleas
A hive for bees
A nest for birds
There ain't no words
For the beauty, the splendor, the wonder
Of my...

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair
I want it long, straight, curly, fuzzy
Snaggy, shaggy, ratty, matty
Oily, greasy, fleecy
Shining, gleaming, streaming
Flaxen, waxen
Knotted, polka-dotted
Twisted, beaded, braided
Powdered, flowered, and confettied
Bangled, tangled, spangled, and spaghettied!

Oh say can you see
My eyes if you can
Then my hair's too short

Down to here
Down to there
Down to where
It stops by itself

They'll be ga ga at the go go
When they see me in my toga
My toga made of blond
Brilliantined
Biblical hair

My hair like Jesus wore it
Hallelujah I adore it
Hallelujah Mary loved her son
Why don't my mother love me?

Hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair, hair
Flow it, show it
Long as God can grow it
My hair

Quite. I respect even more those who can also do amazing coverups and those who can adapt their comfort style to execute tattoos in styles they’re not used to.

Well, that makes me feel better about deciding against that Broncos tattoo. Lot of white in there.

Tbh, the only one that’s been painful to me was the one I got on my left foot’s arch.

White with other colours is fine and dandy. White on its own can look weird.

Probably. The white ink tends to fade to the point of being almost invisible.
