Cool. Thanks. Of all the threads started, he’s the one I really didn’t know anything about, so it was extra informative.

[fred]

He does not in fact sell Avon

I asked

[kwok_talk]

Did he really get a tattoo on his hand?

Did he really get a tattoo on his hand?

I think that's just doodling.

[k33k3r]

Yeah that doesn't look like a tat. It just looks like him inking his hand not getting ink done on his hand.
