@ toni - You've never heard of the "right ear only = gay"? Even if it is just an urban myth I'm surprised you've never heard of it.
@ vulpes - You get arms like that from just being a carpenter? What do you do - curls with stacks of lumber? 300 chin-ups a day on finished structures? You must be doing something other than just basic carpentry.
Maybe it's "american" thing, or something, but I'm into scene for a long time, and we never had any such "myths" here..
I mean, I really think it's a huuge stupidity, if you pierce some body part, that means you're gay?!
And Vulpes could just be build that way, I have a cousin that never worked out in his life, and he's pretty much strong build! Looks very strong and big..
@ Lazycus: No. I have back trouble so they made me full-time saw-man a few years back when the basic labor became too much for me to handle. The saw we use is 16 lbs (7.25 kg) so it's like curling that much weight for 8 hours a day.
Regarding the ear-piercing thing, from what I've been told by my older gay friends; in the days when gay and lesbian people were severely ostracized in the US, they needed a way to identify one another as being gay/lesbian without announcing it outright so the ear-piercing code came about. It really no longer applies, but I have been asked this question a number of times....particularly by my staunchly anti-gay grandparents......(what a great conversation
that was.)
For me, this isn't the case. I refer to it as my "Pirate piercing". I have an odd sort of "elf point" at the top of my ear, and when I was trying out piercings, I decided to pierce this.
(in the interest of staying on the topic, I'll show you what I mean)
Through that, I put a titanium captive-bead ring.
For a while I also had a second of the same ring, pierced slightly lower in the ear, and interlinked with the previous one....but that started hurting really bad after rolling around on my pillow in my sleep so it had to go.
One last photo, and I'm done posting.
Just to my left here, out of frame, is a house we just finished building.
How would you like to have
that view out your back door?
@Toni: No, no tattoos. I've considered it, but not yet
