Help Needed...
« on: October 20, 2005, 01:21:50 pm »
The Astros will play in their first ever World Series.  That means only one thing as far as Mrs. Hawk is concerned....I have to get a tatoo.

I'm thinking about several choices:

1.  A baseball, plain and simple, or

2.  An Astros logo.

If it's the latter, what shall I pick?  I've always been partial to the "H" in the star, which plays along with my name as well.  But they won it with the "open star" logo.  

Either way, it's going at the top of my arm
The rules of distinction were thrown out with the baseball cap.  It does not lend itself to protocol.  It is found today on youth in homes, classrooms, even in fine restaurants.  Regardless of its other consequences, this is a breach against civility.  A civilized man should avoid this mania.

I think you should get a baseball with flames coming out of it with a menacing look on it's face and bugged out eyes.
DS Andy Wainwright: You do know there are more guns in the country than there are in the city.
DS Andy Cartwright: Everyone and their mums is packin' round here!
Nicholas Angel: Like who?
DS Andy Wainwright: Farmers.
Nicholas Angel: Who else?
DS Andy Cartwright: Farmers' mums.

I think you should get one that says "NO PA" slightly off center, and when people ask you what it means tell them "It was going to say 'NO PAIN' but it hurt too bad to finish."
Let me explain something to you. Um, I am not "Mr. Lebowski". You're Mr. Lebowski. I'm the Dude. So that's what you call me. You know, that or, uh, His Dudeness, or uh, Duder, or El Duderino if you're not into the whole brevity thing.

I have the 90's open star at the top of my right arm.  It's getting updated to the current open star along with a title and date.  "World Champs '05" sounds nice.
60% of the time... it works everytime.

FWIW: the "H" in the star would be a great fit--classic.

"H" in the star. It's timeless, like your tattoo will be.

Printed in script letters, above your navel in kind of an arch:

The only question about the H star is whether to go with navy or orange.

I had a great old navy H in the star hat that I left 10 years ago on a bus in Guatemala, of all places.  I just remembered that.  I hope someone is wearing it today.

I was going to suggest a Rainbow armband, ala the 80's uniforms.

Should give you a nice contingency plan if things ever sour between you and the Missus, as well.

For what?  Getting a tattoo, or being married to a woman who insists that I get one?  She has some dopey looking aTm thing around her ankle.

If you've ever met my wife, which I think you have, you could add a lot to the list of reasons why I'm crazy.

I think you should get the heart & dagger deal on your forearm, but you should replace "Mother" with "Roy O"
