So it seems that "13" tattoos are a thing now. I was only ever aware of the concept in the ironic/comedic sense a la the song "Pretty Fly for a White Guy". Now it's something people actually do, with the knuckles seeming to be the place.

Nutty kids these days.

rand()m quote

In the wake of 9/11, we [in America] have made the decision as a society that we can never again create something in which we can take pride, for fear that someone will destroy it. Moreover, we must suppress any trace of individualism, lest someone have the desire to rise above the bland sameness that protects us. I have, alas, no idea how to recapture our courage.
