Re: Anyone else have any piercings or tattoos?
No piercings and no tattoos. I know that a lot of folks think they are stylish, and they are the popular thing to do right now. But I have never really understood the attraction of either form of self-mutilation. Just call me conservative.
Plus, I used to work with several 60- and 70-year old sailors, and got to see what several "youthful misjudgements" looked like after several decades of wear and tear. That little eagle on your shoulder might look very cool right now, but in 40 years it will have a particularly strong resemblance to a one-legged turkey with a bad case of leprosy, and it will have slipped down to somewhere around your third rib. No thanks.

If it walks like a duck, and talks like a duck could be a very clever animatronics display created by Disney Imagineers.... Sometimes it is just a duck. - IKE [more]
