OOPS!

(Thanks to Siouxie)

Comments

Yeah....I've always found 15 cans of beer improves my proofreading ability

Well, at least he's being a good sport about it!

wait till he finds out about the rainbow on his back!

I thought it was a little lower, Vic - you know, like the arch right above the...nevermind.

He had asked for "Day Premiers 2007" to be written on his arm but instead the Thai tattooist wrote "Gay Premiers 2007".

At least it wasn't on his buttocks. (NTTAWWT)

well if he ever needs surgery, the chance of misadventure is greatly reduced....

Tattoo in Phuket... Thai Stick?

OK, I got nutin'.

what a maroon

His instructions for each arm were also taken literally as he now has "left arm" and "right arm" tattooed on the appropriate limb.

*snork* what an idiot!

I'd tattoo one on his forehead - brain cell

Siouxie - on his forehead? Are you sure?

He had paid $150 for the artwork and to make sure the Phuket tattooist got it right

As he looked at the errors and then at the tattoist, he said, "Well...Phuket."

I guess I could tat the brain or did you have another head in mind?? ;-P

I think he might be sitting on his "brain."

Another case of conveniently blaming the effects of alcohol for raging stupidity.
He must have really thai'd one on

See what happens when you don't proofread? And Eddy called me a grammarnazi, tsk, tsk. If I had been in Phuket, this poor man wouldn't have been so Phuketed.
*smacks blurkie just for thinkin'*

"Preview is your friend"

The moral of the story is threefold. (1)Proofread. (2)Don't get your tattoos done by a person who doesn't speak your language. (3)_________

I made sure to get mine from the same woman who did my mother's.

All blogits with young children should emphasize to their children how important ℘ℇℕℳÅℵSℌℑ℘ and speling is to a successful life.

*sends iggy an "l"*

yes...it is.

Auntie M - Don'tcha just love tradition?

Ahh! Earwig! Thanks, Annie. Now I'm having Fiddler on the Roof flashbacks!

But tradition is great. Especially since someone else has already done it and worked out all of the kinks. So to speak.

Siouxie,
Thanks for giving me "l".

ig, how'd you do that. Is there a specific unicode?

So there is. But how'd you know it.

My husband put "If I were a Rich Man" on my iPod, so I get to hear it every once in awhile.

He and his brother will sing a reggae version that has them in stitches after the first few bars...

There's always strikethrough.

I'm having trouble picturing a reggae Jewish guy in Russia. Go figure.

igloo has mad blogging skills. Showoff.

*Snork* @ Auntie for 'theefold' in a 'proofread' comment!

My husband and his brother have a Russian Jewish mother, a Chinese father and both of them listen to reggae (to the exclusion of almost everything else).

And do we now call igloo "The Mad Blogger"?

Well, CJ, I've heard that there is no three. The Underpants Gnomes disagree. (Just read the top paragraph. They don't have the business model on YouTube anymore.)

Okay, here's some clarification on the Underpants Gnomes. ISIANMTU

Auntie M - snork @ "there is no 3."

Doc Rick - please cye. It's important. Thanks.

I think I had given Wyo the links to the Unicode site.
He was going to post them to some blog site. Or it may have been someone else; or I just dreamed it.
I don't remember so well in my dotage.

Once they'd written right arm, I told them you might as well have left arm on the other one – and make it a bit fun."

He's lucky the guy didn't write "a bit fun" too.

JM- especially since it probably would have turned out "a fit bun"

This is your brain on beer.

*goes to grab a cold one from the BlogBar*

oops!

Gosh, igloo.

I thought my server was down. Over an hour without a comment...what is the world coming to?

Well, The World in not coming to the blog. That's for sure.
I thought the blog server was kaput, so I posted the oops to test the "waters" as it were.
Maybe there was wreck on the PCH, and all the bloglits are stuck in traffic in the Geezer bus.

I'm here! Just blurking, refereeing, and supervising.

Trying to write, but that's not possible with the interruptions and multi-tasking.

I had the frightening that that everyone might be *gasp* working!

But stuck in traffic sounds likely too.

Other acceptable answers include snogging someone they love, watching a favorite TV show, or spending time with loved ones/pets.

Or they may be plotting against we three.
*Igloo heads to well stocked bunker.*

How about stocking my sister's vitamins after eating Chinese food with her, my parents, my nieces, and my hubby?

Snogging? Are you British, Kristie?

igloo, we've already established that there is no three

Not British, but I am an Anglophile.

Sadly, I am a member of the Lady Lupin's club on Mugglenet.com (Women Of A Certain Age Who Read Too Much Harry Potter.)

I found the rest of the Bloglits - they're one thread back commenting about the Waffle, Bun & Holy Toast...

*throws an exclamation point up to her post to complete her thought*

Speaking of bad or weird tattoos, here's a really strange one (don't take a drink before viewing)

Seeing from behind

Hey, nothing wrong with the Harry Potter books. Love the things.

They've gone back? How the heck are we supposed to keep up if they're jumping around?

Ew, Davcat! Why would anyone want that tattoo?

Then again it would probably make mooning people that much more fun!

On that happy visual, it is time to fight traffic and go home.

Nytol!

Night, Kristie!

Meanie's doing a great imitation of Madonna over on the last thread. Scary!

Kristie - I'm definitely a Harry Potterophile. Did you see my photo as Tonks on Wyo's bloglit costume page?

There's a sneak peak on YouTube for the currently filming 'Half Blood Prince' film. I can't wait! Seeing OOTP in 3D IMAX was absolutely totally amazing... I was completely 'gobsmacked'!

Speaking of the Brit phrases, it's funny to hear little kids who have grown up with the HP audio books saying things like 'snogging' or 'wicked' with a perfect Brit accent. Always makes me laugh!

Someday I'll see something in 3D IMAX. The last thing I saw in 3D was that Freddy "Nightmare on Elm Street" 3D movie. Ugh. I missed the Harry Potter movie this summer, but plan to buy it on DVD. Looking forward to seeing it!

Auntie, Auntie, Auntie...
As you well know, there is no 3.

Auntie - If you haven't seen the newest IMAX 3D technology you will be amazed. I had no idea it could be so clear and so amazing.

I felt like I could reach out and touch the hairs on the Thestrals ears... the clarity was millions of time above the old 3D glasses used in the past.

Gotta go... see ya!

DavCat, I'm a HUGE HP fan (thanks to my oldest daughter) and I did love your Tonks pictures!

Who's serving tonight? Order up, please!

JK, really, I'm off to bed. I'm BEAT! It's Siouxie's fault.

Sorry, when I get tired I tend to stutter.

case! it's not MY fault!! btw..I MISS you already!
Kristen got your message on her cell phone and she's telling me in a "southern" accent. It was hilarious!! I'm like yep...that's HER alright!!

Some tattoos are just....stupid different.

A pilot from the 1/7 Cav told me about one of his buddies who got toasted in Saigon and had a tatoo with the words "oil here" along with an arrow pointing to his naval.

This unwarranted and malicious campaign must stop! Time and again, three has proven to be a valuable, productive and, yes, even cherished contributor to our culture, civilization and economy.

Think about it, people!

Two's the charm? - Hah!
Two's company, two's a crowd? - WTF?
And just imagine giving THIS up!
And all you Christians: which one of you is gonna tell one of the Holy Trinity that they're being let go, eh?

Wise up, citizens.

LOL sorry...I posted this on the Holy Pancake thread but I need to post it again. Only cuz I HATE telemarketers:

*SNORK*

I just got two telemarketers tonight.

*RING*

ME: International House of Pancakes, may I take your order, please???

THEM: huh??

ME: This is the International House of Pancakes, may I take your order??

THEM: I'm sorry, I have the wrong number.

And here I thought that ONE was the loneliest number that could ever be.

Meanie, are you OK? How many fingers am I holding up?

3 - I totally respect you. I will no longer deny your existence.

Ha! Sioux, I dated a guy whose message machine said, "Hi. You've reached X. Please leave a message. If you're a telemarketer, by all means leave your name and number, so I can call YOU during dinner."

I think there's a Dr. Seuss rhyme in there somewhere but due to a combination of drugs and pain, I can't think of it.

*sigh*

Sio, that's all well and good. But what happens when the Aunt Jemima salesman comes calling?

_:America's Number!,
I reject your reality and substitute my own.

three shall be (after all), the number of the counting.

And he did call upon his fiddlers Three.

I think that I shall never see
a digit lovely as a ____.
A ____ whose curvy line is sculpt
I'll pound that digit into pulp.

Excellent igloo. I detest Joyce Kilmer.

God is three in one. Ford, Chevy, and Chrylser. right, wrong or indifferent. Three is a magic number.

Edgar, I detest Val Kilmer...

Yes, it is, Wyo!

(ellie, me too.)

chips, salsa and queso


Kinda BACK on topic...

There's a picture being sent around of a large, beautifully decorated sheet cake that says:

Good Luck Suzanne
Under Neat That
We Will Miss you

ha!

Sandy, I saw that WalMart cake too, and filed it along with this thread in the "quality service" file.

There's a topic? Who gnu? (tm thingy to Annie)

If I could do my college years over again, I think I'd be going to medical school instead...and getting a degree in plastic surgery, specializing in tattoo removal and piercing pluggings.

That's definitely going to be a growth industry, in the coming years.

Three.... a thread killer.

And Wes, it's never too late.

Oh, Thai, a Geelong tattoo on my right arm, please
I’ve had 15 beers
So I feel at ease
If you don’t fix the error on my left arm, these
Big hands will choke you
Until you turn blue
Can’t you feel me squeeze?
If you don’t find some way to transform your Gs into Ds.

Ducky, you always come along at just the right moment with the perfect comment! :-)

Thanks, Diva! Although I'm not sure Tony Orlando would agree with you.

Hey, who cares? He's got two Dawns to play with, so I'm not sure he's really paying close attention. I loved singing that (the original, that is) in the car with my mom when I was little. I never understood it until many years later.

Did you have a good trip, Diva?

I enjoyed it very much, Ducky! Thanks for asking! :) Nurse Tammy's brother is the sweetest man I've ever met, with the biggest heart. Things are still "just friends," especially considering we just met, but he got me to do things outside my comfort zone - like climbing ironwork outside the St. Louis City Museum (a totally AWESOME place that you should come visit sometime!) and sliding down a huge slide - both of which took a serious toll on my fear of heights. Also, I went bike riding for the first time in 23 years or so to this most beautiful lake area. It was lovely and I can't wait to go visit again. :-)

Diva, I appreciate the invitation (or "invite," as we say here), but I will NOT climb ironwork under any circumstances! Bike riding, OTOH, sounds like fun.

Oh, there's PLENTY of other stuff to see inside the museum. This is just the cool outside stuff. They have built indoor caves, have exhibits - all the art is meant to be touched. It's GREAT!

As for the bike riding, I am WAY out of shape, so I had to stop 3 times on the way out to the lake, but only once on the way back. I was really proud of myself!

Good for you, Diva. The longest journey begins with a single step...or pedal. ;-)

The museum sounds cool enough, but I don't live near St. Louis.

I haven't had nearly enough blogging time lately, so I hate to leave, but it's time for me to flap off to bed.

Nighty-night! Sweet dreams!

It's worth a trip, Edgar.

Tuck those feathers in tight, Ducky! Nighty night!
