It’s almost time for Decadence…

... as if being decadent needed a special occasion!

There are 20 days until Southern Decadence in New Orleans, depending on when you arrive that is.

I usually enjoy my time when I'm there, but this is probably the first time in many, many years I'm actually looking forward to going. I'm not sure why either. I have this thing about crowds that always seems to make me stressed before I go. So far, it hasn't started this year. I'm not decadently wired for some reason. Alcohol sometimes loosens my shell a little, but not often.

If you've never been, you should at least go to NOLA once when it's all crazy outside of Mardi Gras. Although I've been told by natives that Decadence is pretty much just as crazy. And a lot more topless. Men.

We usually stay at the Omni Royal with the Decadent Ducks, but this year the Husbear wanted to stay at a different hotel to "try something new". We will miss hanging by the pool at the Omni with the regular Ducks, but we will get to at least see them out on the streets.

I've taken a bunch of pictures at Decadence over the years that we have been there. You can check them out on flickr if you are so inclined.

Any of my readers going to be in NOLA for Decadence this year?

Until next time...

I Think I Need a Facial

Perverts. I know *exactly* what you were thinking.

But I mean the other kind of facial:

This xkcd comic reminds me that I've never actually had a facial. Nor do I "pamper" my skin either, aside from rubbing lotion on my tattoos on occassion.

So I'm curious, do you pamper your skin? And if so, in what way?

Until next time...

sp”A”m for Effort

Most of the spam I usually end up with in my filters for this site contains long lists of links to malicious websites and gibberish.

This one made me stop and laugh.

If I have no issue killing someone in real life, I really have no problem doing it across the Internet. ESPECIALLY if it gets rid of a spammer. ;-)

I'm sure there's a little more insight into me than you probably wanted to know.

Until next time...

The Good and the Bad of Furry

Chest hair that has this look and texture is by far my favorite.


lick to embiggen

Long; plenty of coverage; not to coarse. The kind you could run your hands through for hours.

Sadly, what I was genetically "blessed with" looks nothing like it. It also seems that my navel is ginormous compared to his.

[Yes, I know my pants are a little low because they're a little too big. I haven't replaced my wardrobe entirely yet. Yea for weight loss!]

I guess I could always tattoo more hair on my chest. Hmmm....

Kidding.

Why is it we as humans always seem to want the things other people have and not be happy with what we ourselves have?

Stoopid humans.

Until next time...

Worst Tattoo I’ve Ever Seen

Urspo asked what the worst tattoo I had ever seen was.

With websites like Ugliest Tattoos, LOLTATZ, and Hanzi Smatter showing all sorts of horrors, that is not a hard question to answer. Because of that, I will limit the scope of the question and say the worst one I've ever seen, in person.

Here it is:

Seriously.

When the [The Bitch Who Shall Not Be Named, At Her Request] and I originally saw the picture, we were hoping that was permanent marker. And then his mother brought him into the studio. Definitely not marker. But definitely permanent.

I still have no idea what it is, or what it was supposed to be. Even after hearing the explanation.

All I do know is that this is what happens when an 17-year-old wants a tattoo and a friend "knows somebody who has a tattoo gun".

And by the way people, it's a "tattoo machine"; not a "tattoo gun"!

Update:
I received this from the mother of the... victim.

OMG, Erik - that is the funniest thing EVER! - absolutely no apology required! just to set the story straight, he is 18 and it was his "graduation gift" from a friend that "used to work at a tattoo place". and the design the way he explains it is it is supposed to depict someone in fear, that has not slept for days because they are afraid of Freddy coming to get them. "it's a slasher thing". he was supposed to get it "fixed" a couple of weeks ago, but the guy never showed up??? i still tell him he is an idiot, and you may feel free to quote me!

Until next time...
Erik
