Pride in a city, pride in a team.
Where does the team end and the city begin? These days, who knows.
It's not just a game.
Who-dat nation is everywhere, thanks to the flood.
Our "leaders" have abandoned us.
People think we're idiots...but we fight back. Hard.
We know what's important, and they're trying to rip it away from us.
But nothing is more important to us than our city, and our team. We will carry it with us always.
We are New Orleans.
We are the New Orleans Saints.

Good for YOU!! I got my first tat 25 yrs ago and it was big, not a cool thing for a "girl" back then. Since then I keep adding them. Just got a new one two weeks ago for my grandson (long story!) Once you start you'll get addicted to the ink, I'm convinced they put crack or something in it!
Make sure you put Lubriderm on it religiously and don't PICK at it! It'll heal in about four days or so and look GORGEOUS!

Sexy American.....
It really is about size, isn't it?!

I thought about size, but man, with my Hulk Hogan-like guns, a 2" tattoo would have looked positively lonely. And girly.
Now, I'm gonna have to alter my shirts for that "Larry the cable guy" look if I want to show it off.

Wow. Your kids are in for an especially hard time when they get to that age where they're embarassed by their parents.

WOW! When you do something, you REALLY do it!
Wear it proudly! (As I know you will.)

CONTINGENCY PLAN:
In case the beloved Saints get unlucky, try to recycle your tattoo by adding the following underneath it:
"J'aime la Poutine!"
With that and a FDL, you'll never need a passport to go to Quebec!!

If they died and couldn't make music, so what? It would suck as we woudln't hear any new material, but, life goes on. And as I don't know them personally, it's even less of a reason to care.I have an interest in Tool simply because of the music. I don't care what they do in their spare time/whatever, I only care about what music they make.And Maynard isn't the only member of Tool, the other guys are just as important to make Tool what it is.
