Hello Kitty turns attention to young men  (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20071228/ap_on_fe_st/japan_hello_kitty_for_men)

Schild want?

Kinda want the watch. This is the next watch I'm getting though.

ooh, I'd wear that.

Is that actually a watch or a piece of jewelry?

Watches can be both, good sir.

I don't wear a watch.  Neither does Righ.  In fact, except for my father, no one in my family has ever worn a watch.  Time.  Bah.  Who cares?

Watches and cufflinks = man-bling

I meant how do you tell time on that thing.

Watch, oversized black sapphire ring, french flag wristband, some beads, and some nasty wrist scars

Everything he touches is tainted with bacon salt now.  I'm getting all the threads confused!

Watches are the only thing I wear (besides my wedding band) for jewelry, and right now I'm wearing a Swiss Army - not very high in the bling category. If I wore suites more often I'm sure I'd have to get a nice set of cuff links, it'd only be proper.

As for Hello Kitty - there's a ton of that crap in JP .. anything you can think of probably has a HK branded version. My wife likes that it's not just little girls stuff, there's all kinds of stuff for adult women (and some crazy expensive watches (http://shop.sanrio.com/hello-kitty-watches/Watches,default,sc.html) I was looking at for a Christmas present).

Could never possibly wear anything Hello Kitty. Unless I had a daughter who insisted that I did. But I don't.

Pink is nice.  I might wear a pink watch but they stop working when I wear them so just pink other stuff would probably suit me better.  I'm not big on man bling.  I know it might be mean, but I think it makes them look frou frou.  I don't mind other men being frou frou but I sort of like my man to be frou frou free.

The scars make up for my faggy man bling.

I think we needs some hand pictures for a definitive say on the subject.

Yes today is that boring.

I've never worn jewelry. I figure everyone else is wearing a watch so they can tell me what time it is. Actually, I never give a shit what time it is. My work computer yells out the time on the fifteens in a creepy voice (Bad News if you have OSX). So I know when it's break time, lunch time and miller time. That's all I need to know.

Mostly I can stand the constriction of rings, bracelets/watches or necklaces. I've tried to wear all of them. I really do wish I liked that stuff, I like a good spiked skull ring.

I have good scars, too. Mostly "well, I hit this guy through a plate glass window" or "this is where a splinter from the bat lodged in my chin" or "I lost this chunk of knuckle on a guy wearing braces". Good times.

The same way you told time on a Swatch watch back in the 80's.

The dot's the minute hand the notch in the center is the hours. It's 12:15 in that picture. On the other watch in the tread it's 10:07.

As far as man bling I typically just wear a watch and my wedding ring.  My current watch is an old Seiko my dad bought at a PX in Vietnam back in '68 for $20.

I had to buy a watch in Japan because my cell phone (my usual timepiece) was dead there. I bought a pink kid's watch at the Sanrio store. It has My Melody on it (that was the only style that was under 2000 yen and fit me).

Edit: Oh, beaten by Merusk. Though he had the dot and dash backwards.

Actually, the Movado ("Museum Watch") is set to 10:10. Or should be. I used to sell jewelry and the rule was always to set watches that were not running or automatics to 10:10. It is supposed to mimic a smile or a V for victory. Psychology of sales and what not. You never wanted the watch to have a frown. Heh.

I was going by normal watch mechanics, long minute hand (so on the outside) short hour hand.  They pulled a fast one on me.


It's not quite pointing to where the 2 would be if the numbers were printed on it. Given the amount of people who use digital watches these days it's not a big deal.. it's close enough.

No, the scars are not Emo related..

Looks like a grill or bagel oven.

Or one of those three pronged cultivators for the garden... Ouch.

What's a bagel oven? I'm not an honorary Jew, y'know.

[edit] There's another gash on the right side that you can't see. Tattoo removal.

I like to tell everyone that the other three scars was a shark bite.

I stepped on something on that sort of thing when I was running through someone's garden when I was little.  I have three dot scars on the top and the bottom of my foot.  Yes, it went straight through.  You can hardly see them any more, though. 

And once again, we're on the subject of Signe's feet.

You should wear jewelry on them.

fucking hell

She didn't feel it, though. The undeath dulls the pain.

 :drill:

Then what does that make a handkerchief?

I wear a Swatch, but not a retro-80s thing.

I need the time and date for work. A lot.


Also, mine has been through a lot; it has character.

/unlurk

Ya know those things are permanent right? I mean, when you get a tat, ya know it's forever...


/relurk

It was a tattoo that said "Fuck" ... I never quite finished what I was saying "fuck" too.

But either way, it was not very attractive, y'see.  :grin:

/permanent unlurk....

Well, since your avatar has had a permanent place on my right arm for about 20 years, I'll give ya the benfit of the doubt.

But, there has to be SOMETHING in this world that ya want to say fuck to.

(Glad to be here - you people are my kind of freaks.)

Welcome man!

I was about 14 at the time when I did it. Back then, I think I was just saying "fuck" to everything.


I gotta get a freak power tat like that though. You should post a pic

That's not just freak power - that's the Gonzo Brand.

I used to want to be Hunter S. Thompson when I grew up. But, I never really grew up and found other interests along the way.
The original Gonzo tat has since grown into an upper arm sleeve containing vines (for my green thumb), ropes ('cause I'm a sailor), and several bits and pieces of my life.

If I can convince my ancient laptop to give up the pics, I'll post the progression of the ink as it grew - stencils and all. :-) It's had a rough life and doesn't respond well without a serious beating.

The laptop, not my arm...

I have the bestest watch ever.  (Ignore the half painted Chaos Marines in the picture.)

The problem is I am afraid I will scratch it up so I barely wear it!

I've been without so much as a clock since I got a TV and xbox into my room. It was either unplug the clock or the fan, and it's too hot to be without a fan. It's pretty weird waking up and not knowing what time it is. Sometimes it's 8am, sometimes it's noon, I don't know until I get up and turn on my computer.

I have one of those, otherwise I'd be able to power my laptop and nothing else as I only have one socket to work with.

I use my cell phone as a timekeeping device.

Lots of people do now.  At the casino I work at there is no electronics at the table.  Not only does incessant playing around/talking slow down the games and annoy everyone else, but the whole security concerns thing too.
I spend a lot of time every day telling people to put their cells away only to hear "but I wanted to check the time".
