Whats the best insult someone's got you with?
Hmm, hard to think of these!
A fairly good one was a couple of years ago, I was slightly more rotund than I am now, and I was talking to some friends about somethingoranother, and jokingly said "I'm in perfect shape!"
And one of the lads said "Of an egg!"Raze_them_all wrote: »Do you believe tattoo's should have a meaning behind them?
It's not a necessity at all, but it's a plus. I think a lot of people just come up with "meanings" as an excuse for getting a tattoo they think looks cool (such as "my grandad had a pitbull, now he's dead, so I'm getting a big pitbull on my bicep to remind me of my grandad", but if it actually has genuine meaning and sentiment behind it, all the better.
We all know that looking cool is the important thing though
Raze_them_all wrote: »Whats your musical influences?(i think i heard your in a band?)
Lots! My band is a weird mixture of blues / funk / soul / hippie poprock, with some elements of metal thrown in! A randomer at one of our gigs has described our style as "grunge country", which is confusing in itself!
A big influence when I was starting off was Kirk Hammet from Metallica, but the more I played, the more my tastes grew. I now listen to heavier stuff (Devin Townsend, Pantera, Slipknot, Megadeth) and lighter / classic / prog stuff (Pink Floyd, Rush, Hendrix, Stevie Ray Vaughan), and crazily musical stuff like Steve Vai and Extreme, so I try to be versatile!0 -

How many tattoos you got?
I have 3, a half-sleeve "wall of music", based around a treble clef and stoney background on my upper right arm, still in progress and gonna be completed in the next few weeks.
I have a bass clef on my left arm using the same stoney look as the half sleeves background, and then on my right ankle I have a traditional rose which was done by an apprentice friend, so far it's been done in 2 parts but it still needs touching up.
Might as well answer the same question about piercings :P
I've 6 rings in my left ear, 2 in the lobe, 2 halfway up the rim and 2 helix.
I've 2 in my right ear, my lobe and conch. I used to have my lip done but had to remove that because of gum erosion
Then I've both nipples, a bar in the left and a ring in the right, and my newest addition is a Prince Albert, which I love even though I haven't had a chance to "test it" properly yet.0 -

Whats the most embarrassing thing you did or your parents did to you as a kid0 -

Who do you plan 'testing' it on? Surely you've had a hand shandy or two since :pac:
One or two :P But testing it properly, I mean! wanna find out just how "worth it" it isFavourite piercing in general?
It's the PA! It was my second least painful of all of them (conch was the least), and I just love that I have a thing in my thing!What is your over all goal (if any) for you and your body?
Well at the moment I have a few more tattoos in mind, I have to finish my half-sleeve firstly. I'm gonna get a maori / polynesian leg-sleeve on my left leg from Ped (my friend that did the rose), because I gave him free reign over my legs, they're a practice canvas for him, and he's a good artist. I also wanna get a shoulder to chest piece on my left side, but I'm not fixed on a design yet.
I'll hopefully get a full backpiece at some stage as well, but that's just a pipedream at the moment, I have a kind of idea in mind for a multi-denominational religious mural.
I'm not in any real hurry with tattoo ideas, I take them as they come to me. I'm not sure if I'm going to want anything on my forearms but I might at some stage.
Piercings-wise, I have a few things in mind. Firstly, get a larger-guage ring in the PA (it still has the 2.4mm), I want one more ring at 3.2 mm in my left lobe so it has kinda a descending-guage theme, and in my right ear I want my rook, tragus and an orbital / spiral in my helix. I might get my labret done again but I'm hesitant due to the last one.0 -

and a random question for good measure...
what's the best holiday you've ever been on?0 -
Were you in fibbers last night? cos i didn't see you (sad face)
Nope, we rain-checked the beers, and all my real-life friends were busy / poorSofaspud, why do fools fall in love?
Everyone can fall in love, it just so happens that a lot of people are fools! And most people turn into fools after falling in love, so I guess you could say, aren't we all fools when it comes to love?

I took the piercing out around last february, and it hasn't gone back to normal, I don't think it does either, so quit while you're ahead and take it out ASAP, I went for a long time thinking "it'll be fine", I didn't want to waste a piercing, but I had to in the end, and I wish I did sooner!dearg lady wrote: »and a random question for good measure...

Amsterdam, definitely! I went last summer with my (now ex) girlfriend, and it was crazy. We had mushrooms the first night, and she thought I was going to kill her, while I just thought I was going mental! If you've seen the film "1408", that's what I was experiencing, but she thought I had one of those "Jimi Hendrix telling me to kill her" trips, because she was tripping too!
The rest of the weekend wasn't as scary, and much more fun 0 -

tee hee, sounds fun, I STILL haven't made it to the Dam, some day
I had a weird thing 'under the influence' once where my ex came back from paint ball and told me he shot a load of people. I had a good 30 seconds of panic, picturing him having to flee the country, would the police catch up with him etc before I realised he shot them with damn paint. I'm sure my face was priceless. 0 -

I've come to the startling conclusion that there isn't one! We're here, and we should enjoy life while we can. We're only here for x amount of years until we die, and if you can die and say "I'm glad my life went how it did", then you've lived it well.tread_softly wrote: »What is the meaning of life? (AND IT'S NOT 42!)
People get the wrong idea of how they should live their lives, trying to get more money or trying to be liked by everyone, but unless you're happy and you've enjoyed your whole life as much as you could, that's all pointless!tread_softly wrote: »If you could be anybody in the world (dead, alive, famous or not) who would you be?
I'd be me, I don't know how to be anyone else! There are people whose lives I'd like to lead a similar life to, but I don't know how happy any of them are, I don't know how they feel about their lives, so I wouldn't know anyone I'd want to be other than myself!
That, or Steve Vai

When I went, at first I found it scary and not at all what I was expecting! I'd be walking past or in "coffee shops" and people would be staring blankly / rudely, never even talking and just looking unwelcoming and not at all friendly or happy.
Then on the last day there, we were "disposing of" our remaining weed before going to the airport, sitting outside a coffee shop, gazing into the distance ever so slightly* stoned, and herself just said "Oh god . . . . we're those people", and I just said "I KNOW!" and we both start laughing, for quite some time.

You don't gotta answer questions if you don't wanna go into it, your volunteering yourself so choice is yours
What got you into piercings?
What is your opinion on the stereotype of people with tattoos and piercings? and do you fit into that mold?
Where would you draw the line with body piercing and tattooing i.e what is too much0 -

Like I said, I'm pretty shameless :PWhat got you into piercings?
I've always had an interest in tattoos, piercings were never really something I thought about, then once I was in town with some friends, they were going to get stuff pierced, and I said "why not?" and got the rim of my ear pierced, and then I caught the bug. I don't know what it is, I just love adding new bits to myself.What is your opinion on the stereotype of people with tattoos and piercings? and do you fit into that mold?
I don't think there's as much of a stereotype with tattoos anymore, since they've become so popular and moved on from the "convicts and sailors" stereotype.
There are still some stereotypes attached though, like skangers with tribals or crosses or names on their forearms, tramp stamps etc.
I think the main tattooed / pierced-guy stereotype would be the "metaller" type, which I look like I should fit into, what with the tattoos / piercings / dreads / beard, but my clothes, musical taste and general demeanor are not at all in line with the stereotype. I once had a guy in college ask me about a metal band, and I hadn't a clue, so he named a few other bands I didn't know, then gave out to me for giving off the impression that I was a metaller!
I do like small amounts of metal music, but I'm definitely more of a classic / prog rock lover!Where would you draw the line with body piercing and tattooing i.e what is too much
Hmm, well last year I would've said a Prince Albert would be beyond me, so I think as I learn more about mods, I become less sensitive to them.
But personally, for me, I think any tattoos on the face / head would be too much, same with on the hands, or anywhere that's constantly on display. Same with overly elaborate facial piercings, like having stretched cheeks / nostrils, or, indeed, labret. (This is only for me, I like yours! Promise! :P)
I don't think I'd actually like to stretch my own lobes either, but that's more personal taste than anything.
Body suspension, implants and scarification are a bit over the line for me too.
Then there's the likes of meatotomy / subincision which are just . . . . . . no!0 -

It was the summer of 1918 and my father brought me on a picnic in the fields, my that was a gay old time. Hoho, I ate my share of weiners thet day!
It was possibly about 2 years ago, I was pissed and an ex girlfriend dragged me to the George, I made sure to hang out of her the whole night :P
Then I went into the bathroom, was queueing for a cubicle and a guy came up to me and asked me "sooo . . . why are you going into the cublicle?",
I then spat a bit of sick that I had into my mouth into a bin beside me and said "that's why!"

Most bizarre drinking tale?
I don't actually have many bizarre ones, I'm a fairly tame drunk!
Although twice myself and a few friends have gotten up in pubs when performing bands were on their breaks and "played a few songs", both times completely pissed and making a total fcukuppery of it.
Possibly last St. Patricks day, when myself, my best friend, and our respective girlfriends accidentally ended up in a gay bar, that we didn't know was a gay bar at the time. When we realised (once inside) we spent the majority of the night acting like a couple, stroking each others faces, kissing on the cheek, slapping arses etc. I promise, that and the other gay-bar related story in the thread are my only 2 times in a gay bar, I'm not a regular
I'm usually very sensible when I'm drunk, it's crap, I always end up with miscellanaeous scars and bruising but don't know how they occurred, so I don't have interesting stories to tell!0 -

so wearing somebody elses shoes on a boards related night out then walking around in the soaking wet in sox is nothing to write home about?
:pac:
Not really, that's pretty normal for me, I don't really do bizarre things when I'm pissed, I just have a skewed sense of normality :P
Fr'instance, people tend to be curious about my piercings, and 2 days after I got my PA, I was out for a meal with loads of work people, and one of them insisted on telling everyone about it, so I ended up showing pretty much everyone who came drinking afterwards, including a few managers. Some strangers were also shown.
I've also, on more than one occasion, attached streamers to my nipple piercings to make "tassels".
I'm a boring drunk, really!0 -
