mekkab's Journal: Slashdot Tatoo Photo Contest! & Star Warz

With the popularity of Fort Knox's Photo Contest spin-offs are a given. So my suggestion? Show us yr ink! Given the pride that most tatoo-ees (thats FAR too many vowels in a row!) have in their tats, it should be a no brainer to get them to participate!

P.S.- I feel bad for This kid...

Oh, I still laughed my ass off, but I feel bad, none-the-less.

Can't... stop.... laughing....

[TechnoLust]

Wow, the remix is great. I kind of felt bad when watching the original, but then when I saw the remix, I couldn't stop laughing.

Re:Can't... stop.... laughing....

[mekkab]

Yeah, the remix is pretty cool... If that was me, I'd feel pretty good about the remix. Not that I wouldn't be mortified by the original getting out on the internet, but isn't gross public embarassement part of growing up?

Okay

[jawtheshark]

...only have one tattoo, and unfortunately it's a dead giveaway.

Re:Okay

[mekkab]

Perhaps I'm not being imaginative enough, but wouldn't it onyl be a giveaway for those who've already seen it?

Wait! This tat wouldn't happen to say "RIP Christine Watkins" now, would it? ;)

Re:Okay

[spirit00]

No, it does not say "RIP Christine Watkins." But, it does have to do with that. Put 2 + 2 and what do you get. The final answer.

Re:Okay

[jawtheshark]

Sssht.... For once that people don't guess my tattoo ;-)

Re:Okay

[mekkab]

5? (for extremely large values of 2?) ;)

I get it, its a tat of Stephen Speilberg!

Re:Okay

[jawtheshark]

Since you know Christine is dead... Put 2 and 2 together and look for a little recurring theme in my online behaviour....
I'd rather think of Peter Benchley instead of Steven Spielberg ;-)

Re:Okay

[andr0meda]

so eh... what about 3.5 ? ;)

Re:Okay

[jawtheshark]

Only when I take a bite out of 4 :-)

Bravo

[Rudy Rodarte]

That was crazy funny! I laughed myself to tears. Thank you for starting my Monday off right!!
Oh yea, I have no tattoos, but if I had one, it would be something like this crop circle [circlemakers.org]

Re:Bravo

[mekkab]

I like the way you think... that'd be a SWEET tat!

I'm sure my wife wouldn't mind if my back disappeared and that sprung up in its place. "Honestly honey, I don't know how it got there! It must have been aliens! Don't look at the credit card statement this month. ;)"

Okay

[Galvatron]

So where do we send the pics then? Or are we hosting them ourselves?

Re:Okay

[mekkab]

I'm gonna wait until Fort Knox's Photo contest [slashdot.org] is over (this Thursday) and I'll probably host the pics myself.

So check back in my JE thursday/friday for the super-secret e-mail address! (that could be easily figured out from my url...)

cool idea

[MousePotato]

I'd bet a lot of us have ink ;)

Re:cool idea

[mekkab]

I'd bet that you'd love to send me a photo of yours!

Right now, I have ONE submission...no, I haven't even submitted MINE yet!

Re:cool idea

[MousePotato]

I'd bet that you'd love to send me a photo of yours!

Maybe, the question becomes which tat would I send you a photo of as I have accumulated a few over the years. I still think its a cool idea none the less.

On a side note; do you think that FortKnox is putting into play the age old question of 'how do you keep a sucker in suspense?' by not having posted the results on his contest yet or did I miss where he posted them? Just curious, I think it was a great idea but on the web it could all be just a scam a

Re:cool idea

[mekkab]

nonsense. My photo is there. ITs all real, all nerds. Now I DO think he is keeping us suckers in suspense... so props to him for that.

As for your tats- send 'em all in. The way I see it, given different moods and different circumstance, we become different people. (?)Besides- it'll look cooler if the "contest" has more tats. (aha! that "different people" psycho-hippie speak was just a ploy to get more body art pics!)

(actually, its really more of an exhibition than a contest...)
