Good grief, what a sight that is!! Thanks for sharing the picture with us, Jim, just makes me appreciate my children even more!

Speaking of pictures, want to share one of you in your younger days, BobD?? Bet if we took a vote, everyone would want to see it. Did it involve any piercings? You seemed to come up with a 'home done' dollar amount pretty quickly there, young man!

Hmmmm, maybe the 'Goth' look, all in black....oh yeah, that would be a shock and awe look, all right! Deborah

For me, it was shock and awe...and to make people ask themselves asking what I was thinking...

We don't need to Bob, we can see you now! LOL

Well...it was my ex wife that did the piercings...I just designed a homemade tattoo gun--and have since realized that India ink tattoos (thankfully) fade over time. I'm not sure what posessed me to try to tattoo my right shoulder--especially since I'm right handed <grin>

I'll see if I can't dig one up...but here's a mental image--mid-back length, all one length, dyed blue-black hair (sometimes with temporary striped in Fuscia, green, blue, or violet) dressed in all black (black shiny leather pants, a black tank top under a black fishnet shirt, black Doc Martins with red laces, black lipstick, dark black eyeliner, and those novelty contacts that give you cat's eyes....

Kinda looked like the late Brandon Lee in the movie The Crow.

But I don't have any photos from that time--I was anti-camera at that point. My one driver's liscense from that time I had to "Clean up" a bit--so I look like Charles Manson <grin>

But I clean up real nice <grin>. Thank my present wife for that <grin>

Being a 'visual' person, I can already see you looking like that.....it's a very scary site, that's for sure!! Thank goodness you found a good woman who could 'clean you up'! Sounds like she came along just in time!! Deborah

Errr sounds like that thing we throw peanuts at!

I don't even come close to what Bob did. I remember when I was building house's and we finally got a nail gun I think I was the first to shoot one through my hand and later someone else helped me out by shooting one in my knee. I had no desire to do any peircings but back then men didn't wear earrings either. But to each his own.

Nah, it is Hilary Clinton just after she wakes up each morning!
Before ya jump, I am not a Bush fan either.

state our country is in that allows a cretin like that to walk around. But ya got to love the freedom for a person to do that to him/herself.
Just ing around!

I think that Ron said it best "To each their own" This young man for what ever reason has decided to decorate himself this way. It maybe because he has bad facial problems or maybe just as someone said it is for shock factor. When we see how some of the African tribes mutilate themselfs we dont bat an eye but when it someone from our society be are shocked. He maybe a really nice person just trying to fit in. What ever I am glad that my kids didnt do that to them selfs but they all went and got tatoo's against my better judgment. He also maybe like me I hate my tatoo but the scar it would leave would be worse. I wonder what this young man will think when he gets to my age he will also probably regret it but when we are young we are proud of them. Just my thoughts for what they are worth
