Dude, that looks flippin' SWEET! Enjoy! (BTW, blue and black are my favorite colors, too!) -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Wrong. The unhealthiest food ever has to be Homer Simpson's "patented, space-age, out-of-this-world moon waffle." Among other things, it is wrapped around a stick of butter to be eaten. Oh, and then there's the "Good Morning Burger." "We start with 18 ounces of fresh ground beef, soak it in rich, creamery butter, then top off with cheese, bacon, ham, and a fried egg." (also from The Simpsons) DAMN, now I'm hungry! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I have to say that from a photography, cinematography, and directorial standpoint, this movie and the other recent Chinese martial arts movies (like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon) kick the livin' shit out of ANY MODERN HOLLYWOOD MOVIE, PERIOD! As in FAR better than. They are truly breathtaking. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Nope. I like creepy science fiction, but that show, to me, was about the WORST WRITTEN SHOW I HAVE EVER SEEN ON T.V. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Nope. Between my gear, myself, my girlfriend and the fuel, I think the waffle might just put us over maximum gross weight! Hey, it's yet to be attempted (by me and her, anyway). If it goes well, maybe I'll give it a review here. Watch this space! Hurricane backlash kept it from going down (up?) this weekend, but maybe next weekend... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

"Dang da dang dang dang dang dang dang dang dang..." (You know, the dueling banjo song from "Deliverance") -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

How about sex with waffles afterward? Cuz that's pretty much perfect in my book. Well, Saturday night I had sex followed by scrambled eggs with cheese, and a bagel with cream cheese. That was pretty awesome.

Good on yer wife and you!

yeah, a little, but it is a GOOD kind hurt. The dude that did the piercings said it's be an "owwww...ahhh"...I couldn't get past the owwwwwwwww part I was completely silent and motionless when my nipple got done. I was proud of myself. On the drive there, my girlfriend kept asking me if I was alright, and if I was nervous. I had no idea how I was going to end up reacting, but I knew I was going to try to be calm and peaceful about it. I've given blood countless times, so I knew I could handle a needle stick. Mine was done on Father's Day, June 19, and it's been about what, three weeks, and it feels really pretty well healed. It never really did hurt after the initial poke.

OMG, KALYNE! You didn't!! Just what kind of 'bad influence' is JustaFlyGirl having on you, anyway?! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Hmmm... I need more time! Give me another week! -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I do enjoy the feeling of being drunk now and then, but it's really rare that I drink anywhere near that much. I don't like the actual alcohol (hate the taste of alcoholic drinks, actually), so I drink very rarely. I'm a happy, silly, placid drunk. I have never done any other drugs -- no pot, LSD, cocaine, heroin, anything. I did some nitrous oxide "Whipits" a while ago, but the last time I did that -- whoa! has it really been that long? -- was like 1994! I like living knowing that I don't need or want drugs to "enhance" my good time. I like to experience my life through no filter on my mind -- just straight. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

This story claims that a girl sleepwalked to the point where she got herself up on a 130-foot crane. I just happened to notice the headline on MSN.com and wanted to know if anyone anywhere believes that this story really happened as reported. I am really skeptical that anyone could or would do something so technically and physically involved and complex -- under cover of somnambulism. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

How about, "I have not initiated any unprovoked harm or violence or any otherwise nasty actions against anyone else." If everyone did that, we'd have peace. I'm doing my part, by living peacefully. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

I won't be sending my money or aid to Africa until the psychotic despotic dictators are removed. They get all the money and food and aid that we send over there, anyway (or at least, they get the lion's share). There is far more that needs doing in Africa than forgiving their incredible debts and sending money by the shipload. And what pisses me off is that the estranged members of Pink Floyd could not come together to celebrate the end of communism and totalitarianism in Germany, but for this, they can bury the hatchet?! To send money to a place where AIDS spreads because they refuse to take any first-world advice about how to stop it? Because males with AIDS believe in the superstition that sex with a virgin female will cure them of it?! Hunger, lack of education, homelessness, joblessness in the U.S. is a greater priority for me. People say that the rich, successful nations have a responsibility to bring the poor dumb nations up to prosperity. Well, who preceded the rich, successful nations and put them where they are today? The answer is, NO one: they did it themselves. "What we obtain too easily we esteem too cheaply." Maybe if these countries have to fight and work to succeed, it will mean more to them and they will keep it longer. -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind...

Hey, I call them crusties only because that's what they were called by others before I even got the piercing done! Don't make fun! LOL! Oh, no worries, I do two or three regular cleanings of the thing, using Bactine and rotating it and removing "crusties" and such. It feels very healthy and is not red, swollen, irritated, or anything, but it still does discharge some pus-like stuff now and then, mostly in the morning when I get up and clean it. I take that as a normal sign (after all, that is just the non-dried-up form of the "crusties" is, and I was told to expect crusties) and I know what else to be looking for (pain, redness) as signs of infection. Thanks, folks. Looks like I'll use either large square band-aids or maybe gaffer's tape. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

What do you do to keep the ring from snagging or otherwise getting abused and hurting like hell? Do you slap a big band-aid on it any time you jump? Mine is only two weeks old, though it's healing pretty nicely. (The only time it has ever hurt is when the "crusties" that form at the edge sorta scab over and fuse the ring to the wound so it won't rotate through freely. OUCH! Can't wait til I'm past that!) I have not yet skydived with the ring in, and I want to know what the experiences of others who have pierced nipples have taught them about keeping it safe while skydiving. Thanks for your help. Have a safe and happy Independence Day!

Misty, is that the Kramer guy you introduced me to at Z-Hills, who took off his hat and showed me why he's called Kramer? As I recall, he seemed like a REALLY cool guy! I hope he gets well soon! P.S. How are you doin'?? edit P.P.S. So, um, what happened to him? You mentioned an injury? -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Yeahhh, the zombie movies kick ass in general, 'cause we get to fantasize about using our hardware in an anarchical yet totally justifiable way! I'm curious about Land of the Dead, since I know that the Dawn of the Dead remake was not true to Romero's vision. (He doesn't think that zombies should be fast-movers like they are depicted in Dawn.) Did Romero cave in and make them fast, or did he keep them slow? "All messed up," as Tom Savini said as the sheriff in the Night of the Living Dead remake... -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Here's me as a little boy. I have a different pic that I like more, but I have to scan it and the scanner is not currently attached... bummer. Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"

Thanks for the story, Moody. Hmmm... alcohol and antibiotic ointment? Those are both of the things that the written care instructions they gave me said not to use! They said that while alcohol would kill germs, it would also kill the new cells that were trying to heal around the wound. And they said that air getting to the wound helps it heal so avoid using things like Neosporin which would sort of seal it off. Mine is doing fine so far; a washing in the morning with Dial antibacterial soap, and two treatments with Bactine, which they really recommend highly (I think they own stock in the company or something). Yeah, they kinda freak you out when they're tightening the CBR and you realize what would happen if the pliers slipped off the jewelry!

WHAT THE FUCK?! The year of our lord TWO THOUSAND FIVE and this is the FIRST study EVER to map brain function during orgasm? Like this isn't something that has interested people for thousands of years?! How is it even possible that people did not make sure to check this out before now?!

Hey body-modders... On Sunday (Father's Day), I went with my girlfriend, who has both nipples pierced, to get my left nipple pierced. On the way there (she drove), she asked me over and over again if I was alright, was I nervous, etc. She asked more when we were waiting in the shop (Ink Link in West Palm Beach). I told her that no, I was not really nervous, not afraid of a bit of pain, but I did wonder exactly how I would react -- would I wince, would I yelp, or make the "OWWW" face silently, or something altogether different. As it turns out, I pretty much didn't do anything. I was lying there in the chair, looking down at my nipple, and the guy laid the needle against it and lined up, and then proceeded to push it through to the cork. It seemed like he was really having to work at it, and I kinda got lost during the whole thing -- couldn't really follow what was going on until it was done. Then of course he had to use the pliers on the CBR to close it up. When he started to pierce, he told me to breathe in, and so I did (thinking "yoga") and then he had to tell me to breathe out! But I was totally like, "Okay, so it's pain, it hurts. And?" Then it was done. I surprised myself, and my gilfriend. She couldn't believe that I watched it happen instead of looking away. It's been two days since I had it done. We went to Walmart afterward to get Bactine, and it throbbed just a bit then, but by the time I was ready to wash it and Bactine it and go to sleep that night, it wasn't what I would call painful. I can even tug on it without it being a real bother. That's the biggest surprise to me, because I had heard and read SO many stories that it hurts and is sore like a bitch for days and maybe weeks! But that's not my experience at this point. Cool! How did you react when you got your nipple(s) pierced? Blue skies, -Jeffrey -Jeffrey "With tha thoughts of a militant mind... Hard line, hard line after hard line!"
