I DOUBT IF THAT'S WHAT THEY MEAN BY "COMBO"...
I would like to recount a conversation Poopy and I had a couple of weeks ago at a rest stop on the Turnpike coming back from JuJu's...
We were dining at MacDonald's (if you can call that dining.) He was facing the long line of hungry travelers waiting to place their food orders. I had my back to them, enjoying my fruit-yogurt parfait without the damn granola. I thought that granola came with it. I swear, in Massachusettes, you get granola on your parfait. Anyway, Poopy says, kind of to me and kind of not, "Hmmmn. That tattoo looks Japanese."
I turn in the direction of his gaze and see aboot 72 people in assorted states of impatience and hunger. I finally locate a short-haired blonde woman with some black writing imbedded in the back of her neck. Too far away to see what it might be/say.
I reply, "She must like it from behind." Poopy does not flinch at my supposition, he knows how I am... but I suspected maybe he thought I said it because I know a little Japanese.
"What does it say?" he asked, confirming my suspicion.
"Hell, I don't know, it's really far away," I say.
Confused, he starts, "Then how..."
"I only say that because in all probability, it's there for her lover to enjoy when they are..."
"Ah, so... I wonder what it says?" (Me, I'm thinking it's a cheat sheet...)
"Go ask her," I dare.
"Yeah, right."
Then I say "If I were to get a tattoo, I think I would get it on the back of my neck."
"Why's that?"
"It's sexy as hell," I say.
"What would you have it say?" he asks.
"I want one just like hers."
"Well, you'd better hope you're not standing in line in MacDonald's in front of some huge Japanese guy..."
My turn to speak, trying not to smile... "Yeah." *looks down, absently stirring granola-less parfait*... "REALLY."

lol... that's a cute story. i will admit that i have a bit of a wild side and do have three tatoos. the first one i got on my ankle, then i got one on my right hip area cuz i saw a girl in a taebo tape that had one and i thought it looked really cool and sexy too, then i got one on my lower back before coming to bahrain. not because of the "behind" thing, but because i thought it looked rather sexy too. it hurt like hell though, i will tell ya that!!
there's a guy that posts on my blog that is american and lives in japan. he speaks japanese. it's the moody minstrel, if you're interested.
My wife's telling me she and three friends are going to get a tattoo -- the same one -- but they're having trouble choosing a location (on their bodies, not for a tattoo artist).
tooners: I have never had the urge to have a tattoo; they're just so, um, permanent. And my mind and my tastes change so often... That's not to say I'll never get one...
Mark: And how do you feel about that? If I ever did get one, I would want it to be completely and totally original and unique.
