Why do already beautiful women think they need plastics to remain beautiful. IF this is actually JA, she looked better before surgery.

My least favorite thing currently is when they get lip work done that swells them up 2 or 3 times.

I dont mind work if it looks natural, but most dont know when to stop.

I am against plastic surgery, but just my opinion.

Yeah, but this means Marcus is just a kid.

Hahaha ha. I am 43 going on 65. Get those damn kids off my lawn!!!

This. I even hate fake boobs...those are fake above. Its usually very easy to tell...i am probably in the minority, but I prefer smaller boobs over huge any day...these wannabe barbie chicks with huge lips and fake huge boobs look cartoonish to me. Not attractive at all IMO.

Agree. I have never been attracted to huge titres. A lot of the fake ones look like blown up balloons. The swollen lips look is grotesque.

Probably a few years apart. My dad was supposed to retire from the AF the year I would be a HS soph, but things were pretty tense about that time with Cuba, so my aunt and uncle invited me to live with them and go to HS in Nashville rather than have to change schools again. So I was just there three years. Stratford was taking over as Litton wound down. Mike Jones (played football at UT) was one of your grads, and his older sister graduated with me.

I graduated in '78. Litton had become a Jr. High. I played with Kenny Jones at Stratford. He went to UT as a tight end.
The Maplewood team in '77 had 3 guys who made it to the NFL. I always thought that was amazing. We came in second to them in the district every year. The 3 guys were Ronald Hale, Preston Brown, and EJ Junior.

Agree, and I don't like tattoos either. Some things like the human body should just be left alone. Nothing against blondes, but I wish brunettes would quit trying to be blondes, too.

I was pretty good friends with EJ. Worked at Opryland together.

Double whammy on my hate for Texas and lawyers.

Looks like we're getting sued because of a wreck one of our trucks was involved in about 3-4 weeks back just south of Dallas. Idiot in a pickup played the "oh crap that's my exit game" and lost, whipped it across 2 lanes and clipped the front bumper of our truck. Guy was cited for illegal lane change, had no insurance suspended license and expired tags yet he's able to find a lawyer to file suit.

I am not opposed to tats or some piercings. My issue just boils down to, is that something you want for the rest of your life?

Some comedian has a bit about women getting a dove tattoo and in 20 years that cute little dove has morphed into a buzzard by loose skin.

Personally I havent figured out something that I need permantely attached to me like that.

Piercing just make me nervous from them getting torn out some way.

I saw 2 college students yesterday, crossing the road I take to go home, that had bad dye jobs. I have to go through the college campus unless I drive way out of the way. They were obvious brunettes, trying to be blondes, but their hair looked really fake out in the sun.

Tats and piercings look trashy to me, but that may be my age. The only people that got them when I was younger were drunk sailors.

He might have been related, but I don't know - lots of Jones in the world. Mike Jones was a DB on the '67 Tennessee team - so he likely escaped your attention. His sister and I graduated from Litton in '64. I lost track of a lot of UT football when I left school in the spring of '67 and enlisted in the Army. My younger brother would actually mail me audio tape recordings of the games - reel to reel tapes - wish I'd kept them.

Looking cartoonish isn't so bad. It's just the way they're drawn. Jessica Rabbit always has a special place w/me.

There ought to be a law, but then most legislatures seem to be made up of lawyers drumming up business for other lawyers.

Apparently we were more tasteful back then, and "taste" morbidly morphed (or progressed) into PC over the years. EFG for Ravin

Sorry to hear that.

Couple of scumbags.

My MIL was hit by a guy in Texas soon after she had gotten married and out of college. FIL went to small claims to get a judgement against the guy, which he did for a few hundred bucks. The guy never paid, but in Texas those judgements attach to you and serve as liens in the event you ever try to buy property. And they carry interest. From the 80's. 25 years later she gets a check in the mail for $10k or something from the guy, he was trying to buy a house but couldn't because of the judgement.

A lot of the time I agree. But there are some that actually pull it off without going full body conversion.

very very few actually manage to enhance their qualities with a tat or piercing, but it does happen.

Some dont make themselves look worse at the time.

Most end up going the wrong direction with them and hurt their looks.

I think a lot of the issue is just the self defeating nature of it. This tat or piercing looked good for a while, now it's not enough and I need another one to compensate for what I already have. So on and so forth.

They convince themselves they wont have body issues if they do X. Well X actually isnt the issue so....

The part that gets me is the guys who get identifiers and then turn to a life of crime. The "hey look at me" look, and a convenient store holdup just don't mesh well.

What were you doing looking at their hair. You've lost your way from what is important to a man's eye.

Won a few bets with this one.
