Y';all remember THIS guy? I met his GOOD twin Wednsday.

[Richard Steele]

Wednsday is our busiest day of the week.
I'm a "manager" at the Thrift Store, but Wednsdays
don't leave me much time to "manage"; it's all I can do
to work the #2 cash register from 1:00 till closing time.

A customer slid a box onto the counter when I was in
"cashier mode" ,and I was ringing up the price on the tag
when I noticed that the BOX was a "Books on Tape" set
of James Earl Jones reading the BIBLE.

Long story short, I looked up, and that customer had as much tattoo
on his face as the skinheaded fucktard in that photo.

Difference is: his tats were all BIBLE verses.

I don't pretend to be LITERATE in Hebrew, but I know a thing or two
about it, I can recognize a few words and common phrases...
this guy had some "New Testament" verses tattood
in Hebrew ON HIS FACE.

Plus a bunch of other stuff in English here and there.
Every joint of the fingers on his hand had a little
chapter/verse tat: John 3:16, etc.

1. still sounds scary to me

[Arugula Latte]

12. Me too.

Nothing is scarier to me than religious fanatics of any stripe. :scared:

2. I'm far from anti-tattoo but this is just self-mutilation.

If you're going for full facial tattoos, at least get something decorative and coherent like the Maori.

Does his mustache say "horebreed"?

[Heidi]

8. The tattoo above his upper lip says "hatebreed," I believe.

Dunno if it refers to the band, Hatebreed.

3. I can see a day in both of their futures where they

slap their heads and go "what the hell was I thinking!"

I mean, that's just plain stooooopid, no matter what.

[Richard Steele]

4. Well, I'm still JEALOUS of the one I met.

He has a cassette tape of James Earl Jones
saying "In the Beginning was the True WORD".

That's more than I have in my cassette collection.

[Duer 157099]

5. Hah! And I'm jealous of you for managing a thrift store!

I could never work in one, because I'd be bringing all of the inventory home with me!

Besides, I'll betcha you can find an mp3 of that recording if you *really* wanted it.

[Richard Steele]

6. Well, there is THAT. I cannot deny it.

I always thought it would be AWESOME to work at a Thrift Store,
and now that I'm managing one, I've learned that it's way better
than I ever imagined.

To quote BENDER from the Futurama show:
"Compare your lives to mine, and then kill yourselves."

[Duer 157099]

7. But how do you resist?

And if there are rules preventing you from first dibs, then that's almost torture, isn't it?

If I managed a thrift store, nobody would ever shop there because it would truly be just crap.

[Richard Steele]

10. Most of my "resistance" comes from the fact that I'm earning MINIMUM WAGE.

No kidding: I'm RESPONSIBLE for the entire place after 4:00
in the afternoon, and I'm paid the Princely sum of $7.30 for
every hour I do that.

But beyond the fact of FINANCES, I have a personal "Code of Honor"
that requires me to give our customers 'first dibs' on the good stuff.

I mostly buy the stuff that's been out on the floor for three weeks,
and is 'on sale' for half price.
Mostly.

I never claimed to be PERFECT.
I'm a nice guy, not an ANGEL.

[texanwitch]

9. I go to3 thrift stores.

It is like a treasure hunt.

I don't like to buy new.

[peekaloo]

11. kinda like that movie 'Memento'

he's trying to track down Jebus's killah?
