Here are the original lyrics:
Singing the blues when the Red Sox lose
It’s a crisis in your life
On the run ‘cause all your girlfriends
Want to be your wife
And the laundry ticket’s in the wash
In the good old days of cutting-edge rebellion, getting a tattoo was a sign of rebellion for ordinary men.
But times have changed, and so have the trends. Tattoos have become commonplace, and body modification has become weirder and wilder than ever before. The latest fad in England is new and hot — literally.
As seen in the movie “Jarhead,” branding is traditionally associated with severe physical pain and, of course, with livestock. Now people are paying anywhere from $150 to upward of $1,000 to have the procedure done on themselves.
The Web site YouTube offers quite a selection of video on the topic — kids at home, using the crudest of methods to permanently scar themselves has got people curious and concerned.
“Nightline” went up to the city of Manchester, to visit one of the only tattoo studios in Great Britain that offers branding, and to find out why it is so popular.
My first Christmas card came in the mail today and it’s from Dan of Plano, TX – one of the Bag’s biggest fans. So that’s $1 I’ll donate to help fight lupus, and Dan was even nice enough to include a small contribution as well.
A small recap of the experiment of me trying to see if any of you are willing to send me a Christmas card:
Option 1: You can make a direct donation to the Lupus Research Institute in memory of Kim Geeding. Have the acknowledgement sent to my address, and I’ll consider that my Christmas card. I’ve done some research, and out of all the lupus organizations I feel most comfortable with the Lupus Research Institute came out on top.
Option 2: If you just want to send a card and no money, then I will total up all the cards received before Dec 25, and for each card donate a dollar (up to $50) to the Lupus Research Institute. If you include any money, I’ll make sure to donate the funds directly to the Lupus Research Institute.Â
Send all cards to
Keith “BagOfNothing†Geeding
421 Vista Noche Dr
Lewisville, TX 75067-8345
Please be sure to include the “BagOfNothing†in the name so I know the card comes from a reader and not the dentist or plumber.
