That's just because you didn't see a bunch of "I Am Ogged" tattoos.
Some of us are getting a little tired of the rampant anti-yakuza sentiment at Unfogged.
I've seen a lot of great tattoos at the Baths. On the whole, I rather like them.
I'm not a huge fan of tattoos, either, but what I find most remarkable is how common they now are. They're everywhere, and they seem to be less and less region or class linked. It's going to be so weird when, thirty years from now, the President has a full tattoo sleeve.
Really? I think quite a lot of people have tattoos that suit them. Don't have any myself, but they can look good on other people.
There are some pretty bad tattoos around, and an awful lot of mediocre ones. And there are really, really great ones too -- you were either unlucky or not paying attention.
So Becks has a problem with Alamedia? What is the source of the bad blood?
I think you misunderstand this 'hiatus' thing.
I agree that there are many "great tatoos" when judged as tatoo art, but I think that even most of those detract from the person's overall appearance.
And I am moved to repost one item from my stroll through the historical NY Times in pursuit of the doings of the English peerage and their American wannabes. (After the 4th Earl of Craven perished by way of falling off his yacht in the middle of the night in the Solent.)
In the police description of Lord Craven it was stated that his family crest was tatooed on his breast.
Because of my very interesting but somewhat botched tattoo, except among family and old friends I seldom wear short-sleeved shirts.
Tattoos are the worst accessory, since they're always there. I wouldn't mind a nice set of special occasion tattoos that could be put on and taken off at will.
Yeah, will. At you! I'm putting on a tattoo at you right now.
People tend to be either prudes anti-tattoo or cool pro-tattoo by basic inclination. That's okay.
There are people who try to pull off the tattooed look who shouldn't. But I know a number of heavily-tattooed women who look simply fabulous for it. I couldn't, and wouldn't want to, imagine them any other way.
EPIC FAIL on the strikethrough. I'm not even going to try to fix that.
but I think that even most of those detract from the person's overall appearance.
I'd say most (well done) don't, and some definitely enhance. I'd agree some work better as art than adornment.
I've pretty much decided that the one tattoo I've wanted to have for years isn't going to happen, because the artist I want to do it lives in Maine and I'm never going to go to Maine.
OTOH, I've been seriously thinking of getting something smaller and simpler, so you never know.
Did you ever think that the tattoos weren't there purely for your aesthetic pleasure? Eh? Did you, Miss Privilegey McPrivilege? Eh? You didn't think about that did you? Eh?
Sometimes I wish I'd been born a woman, just for the humourless feminism. I think I'd be really good at it.
Then I remember I'm glad I wasn't, just because ... well, you know.
Because men are so fucking annoying, you mean?
sorry dear, do you mind? we're trying to have a serious conversation here.
Sometimes I wish I'd been born a woman, just for the humourless feminism.
Well, men can be humourless feminists too, you know.
Aw, dsquared...don't be sad. You're perfectly humorless just the way you are!
I thought about getting a tattoo last summer, to commemorate something in a way that alluded to a couple of other things in a subtle way that perhaps I alone would find amusing, but the artist whom I consulted (at one of the hipper NYC tattoo studios) and I did not share an aesthetic, notwithstanding all the sketches, references and descriptions that I had provided. Frustrating.
I don't think tattoos are meant to make someone look better, at least in the way we might mean that a hairstyle or tailored suit or some such is meant to make someone look better.
They are becoming very mainstream, and paradoxically mainstream as a way to make yourself edgy. Every third fratboy has a barbed wire (or Celtic knot if he's one-fourth Irish on his mother's side) around his bicep. Yes, you're edgy and unique, just like everyone else.
The most amazing tattoos I've ever seen were full-back tattoos of the Virgin of Guadalupe on Mexican gangsters. Some think that these provide resistance to bullets. Mexican tattoos were the first ones I saw that featured a lot of green in addition to the blue and red. The ones I saw approached the high-art category. If I ever shoot one of those Mexican gangsters, I'll skin him and hang the Guadalupe on my wall.
Hey, D2, while you're being humorless n shit, why don't you tell me what this shit means. Should I not be thinking of buying a house, or is massive debt a great idea right now, since the dollar's going to end up being worth about five cents in the near future?
I noticed in Barcelona last summer that there were not as many instances of displayed tattoos as in US cities. My wife and I started counting one day and came up with less than two per block. Are tattoos as common in other countries as they seem to be in the US?
25: I am sorry, but the fact that I am currently in the business of selling that sort of thing for money rather interferes with my ability to give it away for free. Didn't we have a thread on that sort of topic recently?
(page 79 of "Wall Street by Doug Henwood, refers).
25, etc.: Democrats have to make sure that they hang this one on Bush. Unless McCain wins (in which we willhave worse problems) the costs of the bailout will be paid under a Democratic administration. Someone has to start waving the bloody shirt.
Of course, as my informants in the party have pointed out, the Democrats are non-ideological, pragmatic technocrats. They couldn't wave a bloody shirt if you nailed it to their hands. So I expect a no-fault, bipartisan solution which leaves all the malefactors untouched.
It's important not to raise taxes, you know, because it will be the poor who suffer most. Especially inheritance taxes.
I think Emerson should star in a heavily scripted reality TV show about a bounty hunter from Lake Wobegon who patrols the Mexican border.
24: Japanese firefighters traditionally got large tattoos of particular heroes, in the belief that they would be protected from what you would expect firefighters to want protection from.
The University of Tokyo Pathology Department has a substantial collection of in situ tattoos, up to and including full body suits.
Thinking about it a bit more, it really depends how you go about getting them.
From a looking-good-naked point of view, tattoos will need to be planned out with some sort of global aesthetic. This can be very effective, but also requires either fairly large pieces, or careful placement.
I guess I've known a fair number of people who've thought about it like that. Of course a lot of people don't get tattoos this way, and slapdash will not tend to end up with anything that works well together.
John, I've seen a number of pretty amazing back pieces elsewhere too. It gives you enough space to really work in some subtlety in the imagery. I don't have any (oddly enough, in a way) but if I did, that's probably what I'd do.
a bounty hunter from Lake Wobegon who patrols the Mexican border
It could be called Rio Grande Walleye.
I retract that joke, because I don't want any Mexican gangsters coming after me with their Catholic cult magic, and also because I don't want to be recruited by the border-watch wackos. That joke is null, not funny, and as yet untold.
I just found out that Erdős has been stripped of all of his awards and degrees, because all of his proofs were done with the help of amphetamines.
Hundreds of theorems are invalid and will have to be reproved. A lot of important IT software will have to be taken out of use until the math has been brought up to code.
But if I had the money and the bereaved family chose to auction it off. I'd bid on one of those tattoos in a New York minute.
Erdős apparently never had sex in his entire life. That's punishment enough.
The community was perhaps suprisingly understanding, if not exactly supportive, of his reliance on speed (and it was no secret). Most understood it was none of their business. A few people close to him were a bit worried about it I hear, but realized it wasn't out of control and he was happier on it, so no problem.
I think great tattoos tend to be great in context -- on some girl's neck at the bike shop, say, or on the arm that stamps your hand for a show. When you're on vacation you're out of your natural habitat and consequently your tattoo's going to look a bit stupider.
Also, the people who have the best tattoos seem to be the ones who give it a lot of thought and take the time to find a talented artist. These are people who live and work in places where tattoos are important and common. These also tend (in my experience) to be people who don't or can't afford to go places with water that are warm in March.
Finally, water-adjacent warm places tend to be full of this country's stupidest college students in mid-March, and that group is not known for their keen taste in anything -- especially not tattoos.
I say all this as someone who just yesterday got back from vacationing in a warm water-adjacent spot. And although I definitely didn't look good, I also wasn't sporting any bad-looking tattoos (I want to leave the door open to getting really, really fat).
My whole sex life for being a math genius.
Fair enough, JE, but maybe note that his peculiarities went well beyond celibacy. You'd have to give up having a home, cooking, money (for the most part), leisure, etc. etc. if you were trading with him.
money s/b material goods in above.
You don't understand me, SB. I'd love to have his life. Nobody can eat my cooking, for one thing.
The only problem is that I'm book-dependent the way mathematicians aren't.
First a moratorium on facials, and now Becks is telling me my tattoo sucks.
This blog is getting to be a total buzzkill.
25: If d^2 won't give you free financial advice, I'm sure McManus will be here real soon now, and he'll be glad to help.
McManus hasn't been seen in the last week or so. Maybe he read this article in which the New Republic passes along the Republicans' claims that Obama's mask of friendliness hides a steely and uncompromising partisan, and is now working for the Obama campaign.
I've seen great tattoos, even tattoos that I thought made the owner look sexier. But more often than not, I prefer piercings. And at least you can remove a piercing when you get tired of it.
Maybe he held that revolution he was always going on about.
I'm starting to wonder if being into boys with tattoos isn't sort of like being into really well-dressed guys; just like the well-dressed man only dates well-dressed women, so the tattooed boy only sleeps with other tattooed people.
The one time I slept with a guy with a tattoo, there was also a girl with tattoos in bed with us, so I think I got access to things I otherwise wouldn't have.
the fact that I am currently in the business of selling that sort of thing for money rather interferes with my ability to give it away for free
Huh. Never stopped me.
My whole sex life for being a math genius.
This sounds suspiciously like a scam.
Becks, I completely disagree. As long as they're not completely lame, tattoos usually make people look sexier to me.
(And based on this observation, I am probably going to get my first tattoo in the next few months, if I can scrounge up some otherwise un-earmarked cash.)
I'll package up the sex life and send it to you gratis, B. To have and to hold.
Or to put into the dumpster, if you so choose. I won't be hurt.
50: A plausible theory. Investigation is called for.
50: What about really, really well dressed people with lots of tattooes? Not a completely academic question considering a woman I once knew instantiated that mix but had some troubles with confused suitors.
45: Fair enough. He was the most focussed person I know of, making the extreme workaholics I've met seem like slackers in that regard. It would be a very different life.
Huh. Never stopped me.
They didn't teach you that in business school though, did they?
Regarding the recession, I came home from college this week and found that my bagel had gone from $1.20 to $1.60 in a month. There was a petition on the counter for me to sign to the government. About the price of wheat.
This is feeling weirdly real.
I'll package up the sex life and send it to you gratis, B.
Don't give it away for free. See if you can't swap with Shearer first.
I came home from college this week and found that my bagel had gone from $1.20 to $1.60 in a month.
When your bagel gets to $2.50, sell it! The government can't wait much longer than that to parachute in and change the incentives.
56: I didn't mean they're opposites, but that having a taste for well-dressed or tattooed people does me no good, not being particularly fashionable or tattooed myself. Of course, your friend may suffer from a sexual availability pool of dangerously small size.
I just found out that Erdős has been stripped of all of his awards and degrees, because all of his proofs were done with the help of amphetamines.
So what? Should Hemingway be stripped of his Nobel because he was drunk all the time? I don't buy the argument that it's the same as steroids.
Hundreds of theorems are invalid and will have to be reproved.
Hasn't anyone ever double-checked them?
Kraab, your relativism is disgusting. You probably think Pete Rose should be in the Hall of Fame, and that Bonds is the all time home run champion, and that Pam Anderson has a great figure.
When your bagel hits $2.50, I say we start rioting for bread, the cessation of the war, and for immediate and sweeping land reform.
It's tough for writers nowadays to compete with those of the past, since we have to be nice and politic all the time to compete for grants and academic posts, and yet somehow maintain the fiery arrogance and exaggerated sense of self-importance that writers like Hemingway, Faulkner and Cheever could get so easily just by being drunk all the time. Their stats are definitely inflated.
And Jim Thorpe. And the Black Sox. And Marion Jones. And Ben Johnson.
We can't have a double standard.
66: You'd have been fine if you'd just been nicer to Oprah.
I'm perplexed by most neck tattoos and by tattoos with words, especially surprising in a script the wearer can't read. Otherwise they're usually OK, unless they're aggressively dumb. Seattle seemed especially rich in neck tattoos. Where I live now, it's mostly tough looking hispanic chicks that sport them above the collar, rather than hipsters.
Gaston Julia lost his nose in his youth in WWI, and did not have his most brilliant work recognized as useful in his lifetime.
62: I think the pool was small. She told me she was more interested in quantity than quality, so maybe it was ok.
She tended to dress professionally in ways that seemed almost Victorian, because she always had high collars and long sleeves. Mostly because she had tattooes that would otherwise be visible. I always wondered how many of her colleagues knew/guessed that she was covering up, rather than a fashion quirk.
63: I have no idea where John got that idea from. Nobody doubts the work in general, and everyone knew much of it was done on speed (in lieu of sleep, mostly)
Even the world of math is rotten. Our last best hope.
White people like tattoos in Chinese script.
69: In the south I notice a lot of upper chest textual tattooes on (young) women, but don't know if the shift was regional when I moved, or in time.
59: See what havoc you're wreaking, meat eaters, by using all that grain to feed livestock? You're pricing poor destroyer out of his bagel!! Have pity on the lad.
71: What's rotten about it? Mathematicians are pretty rational about this stuff. If the proofs work, do whatever helps you.
70: Victorian, eh? That sounds intriguingly hot. Go on...
JE has clearly exceeded his limit in this thread.
And people wonder how the fisheries collapsed!
77 yeah, but it's too transparent not to play along.
Don't give it away for free. See if you can't swap with Shearer first.
Y'know, I was gonna say something like, "why would I want your sex life, John?" but the prospect of getting *Shearer's* sex life makes John's look all bright and shiny.
Mathematicians are pretty rational as given to backbiting and infighting as anyone else.
http://www.hanzismatter.com/ is devoted to illiterate Chinese on roundeyes.
Tycho Brahe also lacked a nose, and it didn't slow him down. On the other hand, he owned the place.
Mathematicians are pretty rational as given to backbiting and infighting as anyone else.
No, they are also as given to backbiting and infighting as anyone else. They're not going to give you shit about taking speed to prove theorems though.
IOW, emphasis on about this stuff, not on pretty rational
Why shouldn't mathematicians be pee-tested, when everyone else is? Elitists.
Surprisingly few people have been tempted to follow Erdos' example. His life sounds miserably unhappy to me.
Is there evidence for unhappiness, besides the weirdness?
Not that I know of. I'm just imagining if I had that life. He seems like a man totally and involuntarily in the grip of an obsession, an obsession only made worse by meth. If you thought only one thing mattered and was worth doing, whether or not it made you happy wouldn't really be a relevant consideration, would it?
85: I don't think so at all. I think he found his niche, it just isn't one that would work for very many people. One nice thing about academia: it and the people in it were flexible enough to make a space for someone like him that allowed him to be very productive and cushioned him from all the social constructions that he had no time for.
I don't think it's a matter of `tempted to follow'. Like a few others, he could be no other way. If he wasn't a research mathematician, he probably would have been institutionalized.
87: we cross posted. You're right that the typical consideration of `happy' probably isn't a good place to start with someone like him. Contrariwise, there are plenty of obsessive people in our culture who are far more constrained than he was.
51: This is true. B seems very willing to give pedantry and didacticism away for free.
41 says pretty much everything that needs to be said about this thread, pre-thread drift. My social circle is very overrun with the sort of interesting, thoughtful, aesthetics-attuned people that get good tattoos, and so I know a lot of people with great looking ink that makes them look even hotter.
I notice a lot of upper chest textual tattooes on (young) women
Napi, I think you are honor-bound to fight soup.
Gaston Julia lost his nose in his youth in WWI, and did not have his most brilliant work recognized as useful in his lifetime.
Christ. One damn thing after another.

"Y'know, I was gonna say something like, "why would I want your sex life, John?" but the prospect of getting *Shearer's* sex life makes John's look all bright and shiny."
Well B, I am not wildly enthused about getting your mathematical ability either.
85
"Surprisingly few people have been tempted to follow Erdos' example. His life sounds miserably unhappy to me."
I think there have been other mathematicians who used amphetamines. Most people would not find the rest of his life tempting.
Don't ask, soup. This is the Thunderdome. Two men enter! One man leaves! Two men enter! One man leaves!
99: Yes, and a good opportunity look up Tina Turner's skirt while you're in there.
To combine two themes in this thread: A math tattoo.
Nerd tattoo. Math is safer, less chance of getting deprecated during your lifetime.
I once saw a guy in St. Louis with a prominent forearm tattoo of the golden ratio to four significant figures (1.618).
anyone know what that is in 101?
Biophysicist's phoenix tattoo.
I didn't know that Phoenixes had hair.
I can't help but think that the people with tattoos dating people without tattoos breaks down once one is talking about nerd tattoos. I'm definitely a non-tattoo person but I dated a musician with a treble clef on her left wrist and a bass clef on her right. It was both awesome and hot.
I don't think that there are any cool philosophy tattoos equivalent to the treble/bass tattoos. Or the science tattoos for that matter.
Looking at the link in 106, I have to say that getting a biohazard symbol as a tattoo strikes me as a profoundly stupid idea.
I don't think that there are any cool philosophy tattoos equivalent to the treble/bass tattoos
You could get, um, a φ tattoo?
I think I've mentioned this before, but my brother has a tattoo on his forearm of a heart bearing the words "Your Mom".
And a Chi, one could reference philosophy, and the other Merleau-Ponty! Its brilliant! And kind of dumb.
115: Stanley, that's great. But does he go to bars in long sleeved shirts, and then after a largish number of beers, start rolling up his sleeve at people in a meaningful way? Because that would be better still.
There are various Greek words and phrases that might work as philosophy tattoos. Just don't misspell them.
A tattoo of undetached rabbit parts, perhaps?
112: Removing the requirement for coolness, there's this one.
120 should be an up arrow, followed by "ergo" followed by a down arrow.
Like the shirt apo wears.k
I was just going to defend that nerd tattoos were by definition cool, but the tattoo in 120 is definitely not cool.
I looked for an image of a duck-rabbit tattoo, but I couldn't find one. Maybe, the rabbit would be cool, but not the duck.
Presumably it would depend how you looked at it.
But does he go to bars in long sleeved shirts, and then after a largish number of beers, start rolling up his sleeve at people in a meaningful way?
He hasn't been beaten up for it yet, so I'm going to guess: no. But I'll suggest it!
A chemist girlfriend of mine got a pretty cool and subtle alchemical symbol tattoo. I can't find it though, as I only remember the symbol, not what it was for.
95: And sexist. What does Shearer know about my mathematical ability?
126: Is it the tattoo that is subtle or is it the alchemical symbol?
In my teen-angst years, I had plans to get a barcode tattoo, probably on my foot, but I wanted it to be actually scan-able, and (1) I couldn't figure out if this would ever really work, (2) I couldn't figure out what product to have it scan as, and (3) I realized it was a dumb idea.
129: what do you know about his sex life?
I suppose that only teenagers think that the embracing of Big Brother is a cool idea.
131: 1) It would work just fine, it's the relative width of the bars that matter. 2) You could scan to any text you want 3) probably.
What makes an alchemical symbol subtle? Maybe because no one has heard of it?
Fourier transform by itself seems a bit weak.
I did know someone who was going to get this one done, which is probably a bit too clever:
int_1^(3^1/3) z^2 dz cos(3 pi/9) = ln(e^1/3)
It's harder to see with ascii notation. If you've never run into it before, try reading out loud ... would have been better timed yesterday. Now I can't remember who came up with that first.
136: I just mean subtle in that it looked to most people just like a little shape, about an inch wide, and didn't beg to be asked about the way, say, one of those dorky Chinese tattoos does.
gah. `ln'. I've clearly been teaching too much calc I.
Oh! And this one has a pretty pearl necklace in it.
There are people who can DO tattoos and people who cannot. Same as it is for hats. I can tell almost everything I need to know about you based on your hat and tat, or lack thereof. To my sorrow, I am one of those who can do neither of them.
I can tell almost everything I need to know about you based on your hat and tat, or lack thereof
Can you do Physiognomy too?
131: I had the same plan, Stanley! It was going to scan to hamburger. But then I, too, realized it was a dumb (and apparently not very original) idea. Sometimes I still want to get a life-size fetus tattooed on my stomach, but the urge goes away pretty quickly.
I can't either. I've long thought about getting a tattoo, but you're probably right; it would look as dumb as me as a hat would. It's like when I buy cute fashionable clothes, and look like a nerdy chick wearing a Cute-Fashionable costume.
The nursing homes of 2050 will be full of tattoed wrinkled people, shuffling slowly down the corridors.
Human bodies are mysterious and intriguing products of nature, while human communication is for the most part obvious and full of cliches. Tattooing is like spray-painting graffiti in a forest. It's only a matter of time until we'll be undressing lovers to find logos from major corporations or political campaigns permanently engraved on their asses. Mass culture annexes more territory.
The thing about Erdos's life is that he was respected and admired everywhere he went, just for indulging his own private obsession. People always wanted to talk to him about his favorite hobby. Those things seem even more satisfying than sex or material possessions.
I mentioned my daughter's upper chest Vonnegut tattoo before -- on account of which I'm obligated to disapprove of all tattoos for the forseeable future. I've only had a quick glimpse, but it's hard to disapprove of the hand and wrist henna tattoos
i get hives just drinking pepsi, so tattooes are not for me, the skin under some tattooes look red, inflamed, must be painful
144 it's örgön if you'd like and means broad, like in 'broad street', avenue

Sometimes I still want to get a life-size fetus tattooed on my stomach, but the urge goes away pretty quickly.
Apo, this is the tattoo you want.
The New Republic = Unfogged
Tuesday's online articles:
'Stuff White People Like' Just Isn't That Funny
Should Chuck Hagel Be Barack Obama's Secretary of Defense?
For all its flaws, "Stuff White People Like" is still a hell of a lot funnier than the New Republic.
154: You'd think "stuff white people hate just to be contrarian" would be huge.
Why is henna for body art illegal in the U.S.? Many of my students get henna tattoos around holidays, and I didn't realize this was a controlled substance. Seems stupid, and hard to regulate, since it's legal for hair dye.
It's only a matter of time until we'll be undressing lovers to find logos from major corporations
The New Republic = Unfogged
Not until they start hating Krauthammer.
Apo, you should upgrade, and get the Constellation logo.
Why is henna for body art illegal in the U.S.?
It is? That's both insane and racist. Have you ever attended a Hindu wedding?
156: Is it? I can buy henna on the internet.
That's both insane and racist.
Alas, neither of those qualities is inconsistent with something being the public policy of the United States of America, cf. the crack / powder cocaine sentencing disparity.
161: I think it has to do with additives that often appear in henna. There's an overview here
Henna is approved for hair coloring, but not for skin application. However, it doesn't seem to be enforced much if at all, since I see henna tattoo booths at street fairs all the time.
161: Hair henna and skin henna are the same plant. I think the deal is that the FDA has approved it for putting on one's hair, but not one's skin. That doesn't mean you can't buy it.
FDA website has this to say about henna:
Except for color additives, FDA does not have the authority to approve cosmetic products or ingredients, although the use of several substances in cosmetics is prohibited or restricted due to safety concerns. However, if the safety of the product or its ingredients has not been substantiated, the product is misbranded--and therefore illegal in interstate commerce--if it does not have this warning on the label: "Warning-The safety of this product has not been determined."
The FDA doesn't approve cosmetic stuff. It's not its job, which is why any old cosmetic cream can call itself organic or natural or magic and vitamins carry little labels about not being substantiated.
The nasty chemical in cheap black henna has been banned because it can cause scarring, but that doesn't seem insane.
That's weird, because the wikipedia page for henna specifically says that henna for body art is illegal and often seized. And yeah, it's totally racist and ridiculous.
Is it still legal to use a ball point pen to make a tattoo while you are in class?
Wikipedia:
The United States Food and Drug Administration has not approved henna for direct application to the skin. It is unconditionally approved as a hair dye, and can only be imported for that purpose.[10] Henna imported into the USA which appears to be for use as body art is subject to seizure, and at present it is illegal to use henna for body art in the U.S.,[11] though prosecution is rare.
It says it's "subject" to seizure, which is different from every actually being seized. It's sold quite openly all over the city.
Is it still legal to use a ball point pen to make a tattoo while you are in class?
As long as you aren't writing the answers on the back of your hand.
Anyway, haven't you heard about the one kid who wrote on himself with a ballpoint pen and got blood poisoning and died? I think he was related to the other kid whose stomach exploded after he ate three bags of Pop Rocks and then drank a Coke.
At my son's summer league swim meets, almost every kid has something like "Eat my bubbles!" written in black permanent marker on their back.
They didnt like me running around shouting, "You are all going to die from blood poisoning!!!!!"
I heard he wrote on his stomach with a ballpoint pen filled with pop rocks and coke. Then ate an M-80. That's what I heard.
Spider eggs must figure in there somewhere.
I used to walk beside my son, shouting "HA!!! You stepped on a crack. You must want to break your mother's back!"
Ah, the good old days.
almost every kid has something like "Eat my bubbles!" written in black permanent marker on their back.
Thus does the militarization of American culture filter down to the grade school cohort.
If henna is subject to seizures perhaps it should be taking medication.
You must want to break your mother's back
Projection, I presume.
