MEMPHIS CHOKED.......................


Dear Coach Calipari,

Let me begin by congratulating the Memphis Tigers on a successful 38-2 season.

Also.... if I may, offer a piece of advice to your team for future reference....
A little less time in the tattoo shop and a little more time in the gym practicing your foul shots might be helpful next time around.
Yeah...your guys looked real bad-ass while they were blowing chow all over themselves at the freethrow line down the stretch last night.

Strong letter to follow....

Signed,

You hillbillies cost me $50.00 in my office pool.




What else is up??....Well....

This is some pretty cool shit...Dude...I'm linked up on a pro's blog.
This is gonna be a nice ride..
This too...
This might be after some tweaking.....I'm just not used to all that suspension anymore.

I am riding pretty consistantly 4-5 times a week, but would like to get in a few longer rides and would really welcome the opportunity to ride on some dirt soon. Afterall...I do fancy myself a mountain biker...A slow, old mountain biker, but a mountain biker none-the-less.

I am losing a few pounds, but it's a slow process....I blame Chipolte.

Some people can just blog about dropping weight and the pounds seem to melt off....not me.

My kids are completely out of control...

Jamie got a tattoo.

Megan is talking about having her lip pierced now that she is getting her braces off next month. Her orthodontist had been advising against it while she has braces because apparently she could accidently wire her mouth shut or something.........Her orthodontist thinks that would be a problem...I pretended to agree.

And this one......Safe to say it's gonna take some creative parenting to keep her out of the teen lock-up because to quote her....."I'll do what I want".....Next time you see her, ask her how that attitude is working out for her.

That's it. Now you know everything.


Oh....I will be doing the Rock Cut race on the 20th. A long ride on dirt should be just what the doctor ordered.

I don't understand today's kids, what they gonna do next on their body's?
The only time when I rode for lonnnnnggggg hours was nc, after that, my longest ride has been 45 minutes around waukesha, that's it till rock cut. I'm lazy, (huevon).
By the way, nice bikes and good looking charger wheels, I wonder who put the decals on.

Ya because we all know that thing will get you real far in life.
I can understand the ears, even the nose but the lip, what the hell. Like thats what I really want to look at when I'm taking to you at work.
Think it over then don't do it.
Go pierce something else just not anything on your face.

get your kids under control. they are insane! :-) Im joking. My indsutrial ripped out of my ear at mtb nationals...full face helmets and big piercings don't go well..

Hey Spinninmud! I have two lip rings and two nose rings. I'm getting a PhD in chemistry, I doubt many people could go farther in life than that. Most people comment on how they look good on me and based on the amount of friends I have and dates I get, I could say that most people don't mind to look at them. Plus they're not permanent. Learn to love them, piercings are only going to be more common and your views on them are going to make you sound like an 85 year old. :-P

Spinninmud said...

Well I guess you really don't know who I am and whats your PHD have to do with the tea in china.(Nice drop).
I have the most open views with piercings and Tats, as both my ears were stretched to 0 gage and I have like 13 tats. So get YOUR SHIT STRAIGHT. Now the face is totally different, the eyebrow OK but the lip or a madonna that is something else.
I have friends that have had more piercings(Reason and Judy)then most people have ever seen but they were in the business and that I understand.
Yes it is my opinion on this and as this is still a free country I can open my mouth(as I do a lot)and tell you what I think.
At least I post who I am and not hide behind a anonymous tag.

amelia said...

i'm not sure i understand your logic and the line you draw spinninmud. "tats and stretched ears okay, but no face. well, maybe not 'no' face...eyebrow ok, nose too. but no lip. besides, i have 'the most open view', let me go prove...otherwise."

just saying, if i had to make a hierarchy of societal acceptability for my tats/piercings, i would place my pseudo half sleeve (and other tattoos) at the bottom because i recieve the most comments on them and point out that i get more odd looks for my ears (2 ga and 6 ga in each) than for my lip.

also, the way i interpreted anonymous' point with the phd is that their lip rings aren't holding them back like you indicated in your first comment. not that they randomly felt like dropping the fact that they have a phd.

You just can't go in half cocked on these things.

Here are my recommendations:

1. Shave your head and get a full on skull tattoo of a spider web on your head. It definitely should have a spider in it. That spider should be:

A. Bustin caps with a Tech 9

B.Riding a Harley with a flaming back tire.

C. Flipping the bird.

2. Get a nose piercing that looks like you have 1 inch boogers hanging out of each nostril.

3. At the minimum get a set of ass antlers or better yet a full on tramp stamp. You could get a lame flower, but I recommend a gargoyle or scary clown head.

If you want to do it right I would aim for a phrase like "Classy Lady" in big letters.

Do not get the one I saw with a dentist drill that said "Drill Me." People don't like dentists.

If your dad won't let you get the real thing they have tramp stamp starter kits at Toys 'R Us:

So your telling me that a lip ring makes you smarter? Because thats the way it came off in anon. post.
It is my view and I guess only my view that when you see a face(mouth) piercing it was done for the WOW factor and not the it looks cute(on a girl)factor.In my eyes I see Tats as body art as it is a art in its self, but some piercing get a little out of hand(and this is my view).
The holding back of Megatron I think not a joke I think so.
If someone has to tell someone else that "I have a PHD" that is a drop no matter how you look at it, I don't care if you scrape dog shit off a sidewalk for a job with a PHD will that make a difference if you have piercings?
All in all it really means nothing what ever I say as people will do what ever they want.
I removed my piercing ears and others for my job, did I need to, no, but in the long run when I meet with a client they don't look right at my ears before they even know my name it was a good more for "me".

I was severely insulted that you said that a lip ring won't get you far in life. I said I was getting a PhD just to say that I AM going far in life, and my piercings didn't stop me (like from getting into grad school, passing qualfying exams). I posted anon because no one here knows me so it would be useless but here ya go! I don't have a blog or anything, but you can see my piercings on my myspace (www.myspace.com/carofiro) Its a private profile but you can see them clearly in the picture. I think they look FUCKIN' CUTE.
Yeah, its a free country you can say you don't like them, but assuming that only ONE certain type of piercing says "not going far in life" is kinda lame, esp considering the body mods you have. All I want you to do is think before you say something, next time just say "I don't think lip rings look good" instead of judging people who have them.

A PhD and a Myspace page! I'm thinkin' "Doogie Howser". I'm just sayin'...

I have several friends with lip piercing and PhD's. I thought that it was becoming a prerequisite for entering the program. Again, anyone willing to spend the time can get a PhD...anyone, some of my friends proved that. And no, spinnin doesn't have a PhD. He does have a BFM & a BFA!
