How come? I tend to arch chest-high and weight vests help a lot... Alex wants to see you bleed.

I know it's the xmas season and I should be buying stuff for others, not myself, but I just REALLY want to buy myself a big fat skydiving present! I haven't in so long! So...should I get... A dytter? (I don't have an audible yet & I really want one) A new helmet? (I have an pro-tec that's ok but looks uncool...) A weight vest? (I really need one.) Prescription goggles? (I could use these, too.)

Oh my. They grow 'em big in Canada, eh? Alex wants to see you bleed.

I love the way it looks. But I also find reaction to it from other people humorous, interesting, and worthwhile. One good-thing-slash-problem, though, is that when men catch sight of it, they immediately get that "Oh, I see how it is!" grin on their faces. Look, bucko, just because my tongue is pierced doesn't mean I want you to drop your pants here in the bar. And while I wouldn't say it "improves" oral sex, it's an interesting added element, to be sure. Like Clay said, it's a definite mental aphrodisiac (holy shit I'm getting it from a BAD GIRL!), and sex is, after all, highly mental. Plus if you suck on a piece of ice it stays cold for a nice little while. You do have to re-learn to talk, kind of, and if your jewelry's huge, it'll impede speech forever. I just got a new barbell, and (It is soooo schweet I love it!) it's got a big ole hoop through the ball at the top. It's awesome. But like you, Diva, I keep biting it, and it hurts like a mofo. Oh, speaking of which -- Diva, as soon as you heal up, go get that jewelry changed to a shorter bar. It'll help with the soreness on the bottom of your mouth. The balls ought to rest just on top and underneath your tongue, with no bar showing unless you push it out. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Yes, bad-ass mofos like myself are encouraged to submit. Hey, that sounded kind of dirty.... Alex wants to see you bleed.

I was told that too...but I was so dazed all day (I think I'm a closet masochist; I thought it was AWESOME) that I didn't even feel it when I ignored the rules and downed a few beers anyway. They didn't taste so good. My tongue was all swollen. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Big, sweet, superfast purple-tailed otter, Deva. You should come down sometime! Alex wants to see you bleed.

Heh! I was about to get all defensive... Alex wants to see you bleed.

NO WAY KICK ASS FRIDAY TOO? Alex wants to see you bleed.

Be really bored? Not know what outlet to use for their sheep-fucking jokes? (Sorry Mrs. Radliffe.) Alex wants to see you bleed.

A fine, San Antonio-based business, by the way! Alex wants to see you bleed.

I forgot to do that. Everyone, put SANewsGirl and JessicaFTC on your AIM buddy lists. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Yes, and bring them to me. I'll make it worth your while. Heh, that's how someone told me to keep my wacky weed. (I don't smoke that, like, ever, so it dries out if I ever have any). Alex wants to see you bleed.

I WOULD read and evaluate and join in the making-fun, but... I can't READ anything that long where every single fucking word is capitalized. What is he, a headline writer for the New York Times or something? Oh well, I'll assume it's moronic. Also, I took media law in college. You can't be sued. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Actually, he's now based in that other bastion of pinko-commie-liberalism, Portland, Oregon...too bad, I'd have stalked him if he were still in Austin. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Oh wow, for real? I e-mailed Shannon once and he replied right back. Cool. Yeah, he's pretty pinko-commie-liberal. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Ah, damn, I sort of figured. Thanks. Alex wants to see you bleed.

A family member went to Cuba recently, and brought me back a few of Fidel's finest. I don't have a humidor, but I don't want to smoke 'em TONIGHT...how can I keep them moist/smokable? Disclaimer -- I'm NOT a regular cigar smoker, ok? I don't need any lectures. Thank you, I love you all! Alex wants to see you bleed.

Dude, they're GREAT. Karen, the chick who does 'em, used to be based out of Skydive Dallas. I know literally dozens of people who have them, and they're all really happy with them. Plus they look dead sharp. I'm kicking myself for not getting measured for one while we were at the same DZ. Alex wants to see you bleed.

Actually, when I met you I was too busy thinking, "Awk, I just WOULD run into someone hot when I'm hungover wearing the same clothes I had on last night with the eyeliner I carefully applied 12 hours ago now smeared halfway down my face..." to notice if you were insecure or not. But now that you MENTION it.... No sweetie, I thought you were the shiznit. Then tell my HAIRDRESSER to stop CARRYING it! I am strangely drawn to it when it is placed in my path like that. What was your first clue? Alex wants to see you bleed.

YES. I can kill a whole night with a good buddy and a couple of pitchers of Shiner. I'm glad you started posting. It's good to have someone else who is smart and thinks like me. Alex wants to see you bleed.

YES, exactly! If you do cool stuff and have a good life, you'll be interesting to other people (maybe even seem a little "bad," heh heh) AAAAAND even if you DON'T run into the perfect woman anytime soon, who gives a fuck? You're having a blast! Yeeha. Alex wants to see you bleed.

This thread is kind of pissing me off now. Way to promote contempt for women, some of you. Nathan -- my best advice: don't play the games of acting like a distant asshole. Do you really want the kind of girl who wants to be treated like shit? How 'bout one who respects herself and you, doesn't that sound good? Put your energies into stuff you like to do. Skydiving. School. Etc. One of these days, you'll meet a cool woman. You won't find her if you're looking for her. Women can smell desperation on a guy and they don't like it. It makes them feel like any old girl would do. Good luck. Alex wants to see you bleed.

You're young, ain'tcha? So I assume the women you date are, too? Don't worry; they'll learn. When you're in your mid-twenties you'll have hordes of desperate women after you. Alex wants to see you bleed.
