the internal sensor says it’s time to slow down

I don’t know that it had anything to do with my parents’ recent visit, but it looks as though my eye’s gone and exploded again… So, I’m going to bed early tonight.

    Forget the scary eyeball, but the perfect nose I find somehow unfair. I guess the red eyes balance it out.

    I think I look like a fish in that photo…. I have a sad mouth, like a catfish… As for the doctor, I might go today. Last night my eyeball started to bulge with something like a blister full of blood. Fortunately, it seems to be gone right now. I was worried that it would pop in my sleep.

    I was going to say, “Here’s blood in your eye!” but that bulge sounds just wrong. Well, more wrong than the blood being there in the first place. Ugh. I’m surprised you were able to sleep.

    Does your eye really look like in the photo? Because your iris looks awfully pale. Kinda Marilyn Mansonish. No offense. I can’t tell if it’s just the contrast of the iris next to the red or if there’s some flash reflecting going on that makes it appear the color of glacial ice.

    I think Linette should get the Keep on Truckin’ logo tattoo. The one with the cartoon guy walking and his forefoot is really large…? Maybe I am blurring two of them. Anyway, no real reason, just that I remember that from my childhood and it always seemed so encouraging.

    Hey! It’s a Crumb guy! Who knew? (probably everyone but me).

    Mark,

    That looks awful! Are we taking suggestions for tatoos? I have a couple if you would like.

    Having worked with SuzAnne for 5 years i can probably give some decent advice on other aspects of Tattooing such as placement, colour schemes, apppropriate shapes for different body parts etc. feel free to pick my brain if you care to. The art part is up to the beholder I guess.

    If I were to get a tatoo (which I won’t because I find them tacky.. but I don’t hold anything against people who have them), it would be a detailed DNA model, that way in 2000 years after mankind has once again descended into the dark ages and they find your corpse, it will be the spark of a new enlightenment (assuming of course you were properly preserved)

    I knew when someone mentioned Mark’s “perfect nose” his OCD would compel him to list every flaw he saw in the photo.

    I think that the “Keep on Trucking” guy was appropriated by the Greatful Dead. As that’s the case, I’d have to veto. (I haven’t talked to Linette about it yet, but I’m going to insist upon having veto power.) I like the DNA idea though… I think my suggestion, however, would be to use that image that went into space of the naked man and woman, and the map to earth.

    How ’bout a tattoo just like yours and then you can match!

    Believe it or not, there are already people out there with tattoos to match mine… One of them happens, coincidentally, to be our favorite troll, Mike.

    Man, this is starting to sound like a science fiction story gone awry. Mark, are you Mike? Did you play for the Braves for a bit?

    Ken-What would you know about the Braves?

    Brad, I don’t know if it is true or not but John Galt linked to Mike’s stats the other day.

    Who the hell is John Galt and why the fuck would anyone care about Mike’s “stats”. Then again, where can I find them? This could be fun.

    Brad, It is all under the Gannon and the Mainstream Press post on this site.

    I thought you were referring to the Newton Braves (Mike’s high school football team) and I completely forgot that he played for the Atlanta Braves. Nice bunch of posts though. Thanks.

    Wait, I know I’ve seen the tat before, I think in Crimewave…right? But someone remind me, what is it? Its not a Phish fish tat is it?

    I think it is the original Monkey Power Trio symbol

    Then why does Mike have one? Is he in the band?

    Hey Anonymatt, do you have this tattoo, too? I feel like I just tripped into hole and landed into a Masonic ceremony!

    I don’t want to give up anyone’s secrets but I believe Mike is four or, most appropriately, the middle finger. Sorry Mike.

    First off, Mike IS in the Monkey Power Trio with me. I don’t know how he got in, but somehow he worked his way in like the heartworm virus. I’m not happy about it, but it’s out of my control. (As you may have noticed, he

    Let’s please change the subject. It makes me feel sick to think about the fact that Mike and I have identical tattoos…. Let’s talk some more about Jerod’s plagiarism?
