04/23/2006: New Article: More Sights From The Atlantic City Boardwalk!

Went to Atlantic City last weekend, and lost way too much money to leave without at least getting enough material for an article. Actually, I did leave without enough material for an article, but I’m not going to let that stop me, so, here you go. Random stuff from the Atlantic City boardwalk with emphasis on its gift shops, covering everything from Tournament Arkanoid to shitty postcards.

LOL, I guess nothing great can last. I like to imagine dozens of people finding this site with that search XD

Actually, Inkimage, I’m not overly fond of AC, either. That’s why I let three years lapse between visits.

I have a couple of tattoos, and here’s where I think a lot of people mess up. Get them ONLY where they can be hidden if you were dressed up and going to an award ceremony for best dressed clean cut employee of the year.

If you think a giant skull would look cool on your neck, and also don’t mind looking for a nice job that doesn’t frown upon giant skulls on your neck, go for it.
Otherwise, leave the giant skulls on your shoulder, back, chest, upper legs, butt, pelvis, stomach, and other hidden spots.

And the Thundercats logo would be cool, but why the ankle? That doesn’t sound very Thundercat. Where would you be branded with it if you were a Thundercat? But it’s up to you, I say to it but don’t ever tattoo Mumra on you anywhere, because Mumra scareds me.

LemurCat- I’m in northern Delaware, about 40 miles from Philly, but that’s where the TV stations come from. Delicious, magical TV.

And since I’ve only ever been to AC a few times, all in winter/early spring, I’ve never been on the boardwalk on account of sleet. I saw the Barenaked Ladies in concert at the Trump Taj Mahal though, and my boyfriend and I were smart enough to get a room there. All the other concertgoers were trying to fight their way to the slot machines or parking garage, we just took the elevator upstairs and hit our own jackpot, wink.

They run buses from here to AC all the time for pretty cheap. I don’t have much of a desire to go, really. I just don’t have the extra cash to piss away and I don’t travel well alone. Plus last I heard my Uncle Pee-Wee is living down there. Damn sleezy relatives…

Man, good times. Reminds me of when we got together down there and took in the…

… oh, that’s right. You NO-SHOWED. ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS.

You’re the fucking Hulk Hogan to my Randy Savage, Matt. Nobody understands.

I duuno why I want the Thundercats logo tattooed on my ankle, exactly…I am an English teacher, so my other tattoos are all well hidden (back and hip)- that is the best idea. However, I think I would want to’show off’ the Thundercats tattoo a little more than the others, hence the reason for the ankle…

…but I don’t want to have to wear SOCKS with sandals to keep it hidden from students! I would just let them see that one, and then judge my coolness harshly.

"Teacher, what’s a Thundercat?"

Ghosted by lugnut @ 04/26/2006 9:18 AM EDT

More like, "Teacher, wasn’t ‘ThunderCat’ what Stan Smith called his second wife?" Then you can cry for kids who watch American Dad! and not ThunderCats.

Anybody sporting Star Wars tattoos? I’ve long wanted the Alliance symbol.
Do you think that by the time Generation X/Y/Z becomes "The Man" that extensive tattoos will be more acceptable in professional environments? They are so common now…
I watched Sopranos again and "nonstop ass rape" continues to be greatly amusing.

Where normal people have biceps, I have tattoos: On my left arm is Saturn, which looks more like a rotten black egg than my favorite planet. On my right arm is Pac-Man, who looks incredible but is rarely seen because I only wear short sleeves during fires. And Bulba is somewhere on me, too. Not somewhere dirty.

Lemur, I’m from Philadelphia too. I’ve been wondering how many people are from Philly or the suburbs. Seems to be an abnormally large amount of bloggers from the area. I wonder if it’s a coincidence or the stuff on this site hits a cord with the area. I was in AC the night before Matt. Damn, I would have loved a Matt sighting. Not that I would say hello, because I’m sure Matt doesn’t want people bothering him, but at least I could come back and say "I saw Matt in AC". Or I could take a pic and be the coolest person on here to have a picture of Matt in AC.

I totally think that will be the case. I mean, I have far more friends with tatoos than without. And many of those friends have them in uncoverupable places. I don’t think I’ll ever get one. I have yet to think of a picture I want on me forever. But you never know.

I tried B&C Dr. Pepper today. It’s VERY good. The flavor is subtle, but still noticeable. I got some of the Diet version too that I’ll try soon.

I got no tatoos or piercings. I’m a boring person.

Ghosted by JLAJRC @ 04/26/2006 5:55 PM EDT

I don’t have a tattoo–yet. I’m moving to San Francisco in three weeks, and my best friend is coming with me the first week I’m there…anyway, while he is there, I think we’re both going to finally get tattoos…I’m going to get a libra symbol at the base of my neck/top of my spine. Not very big, but I imagine it’ll hurt like hell. And I hate needles.

I’m 60mi west of Philly. I’m out towards Reading which is where all the scum from Philly flocks because it’s easier to get on welfare here.

If we had an X-E Meetup at AC, I’d totally go. Hell, I’d even get the Care Bears ass tattoo in celebration. Though I get the impression Matt might be too much of a homebody to agree to such a gathering. ;)

I can’t believe Inspector Gadget (the old school animated series) is on DVD now. I used to be glued to the TV when I was a kid just to see if Penny and Brain would capture Claw (since Inspector Gadget never did anything useful)
For a quick dose of nostalgia, click my name.

"Not somewhere dirty", Matt? That makes EVERYWHERE sound dirty. Hot back-of-the-knee action.

Ghosted by Welsh Rabbit @ 04/26/2006 7:48 PM EDT

No tatoos, I’m afraid if I get one I’ll get ten. Eventually I’d have so many that I would get really stupid tatoos thinking nobody would notice. Then I’d meet a beutiful woman and we would get intament(not sure I’m allowed to do something I can’t spell) and she would notice my drunken tasmainin devil pissing on a four leaf clover tatoo.

Lemurcat-I live in the Philly of the west coast(just kidding)

Muppet Baby-

The Thundercats tattoo is cool only if YOU think it’s cool. No matter what you get, there’s going to be people who think it sucks. And if they do, so what? It’s YOUR body, not theirs. As long as you think you will like Thundercats forever, I say go for it.

The ankle isn’t a terrible place to get a tattoo, in that you can easily cover it at work and it won’t sag. I shudder to think what one on my stomach would look like in a few years.

On the flip side, I hear any place that is right over bone hurts a lot more. The one on my shoulder barely hurt at all, but the one on my back hurt pretty bad right across my spine.

Hey Matt, that Robert doll has brothers. Here in Millville (a very short hop from Atlantic City) there was a crappy little indian dollar store wedged up against the pizza hut. Inside that store were SCORES of Robert dolls, only slightly different. Same package, same doll. Only the doll was black and featured bright pink lips, and his name was Johnny.

Gayest. Thing. EVAR. One of my best friends went in one day, saw them, and bought them all. Subsequently his parents forced him to throw them all away, but I think he has one stashed somewhere. Sadly that dollar store closed about 3 weeks ago. It was a treasure chest, man. Bubblegum flavored soda with no brand name anywhere on the can, powdered aphrodisiacs called Horny Goat Weed, and my personal favorite; Pteradactyl Juice. God I miss that place.
