<p>I will bet you another 10 grand that this money does not go towards the kids education. Probably a single mother, because she had him at 19 and no self respecting man would let his wife walk around with that adbomination on her.</p>
<p>I do think that she is missing a very obvious marketing play. She could not only rent out her forehead as a billboard, she could also rent out the rest of her head as a storage unit as it is obviously vacant.</p>
<p>I’ll bet you a dollar to a donut that her investment strategy has something to do with the forecasting of randomly drawn numbers, with at least half invested in commodities like MML’s and CL’s ( Marlboro Menthol Light 100’s and Coors Light beer).</p>
<p>10 grand, I am so mad at the company for doing this and finding a sucker to do it. I for one will never use that business and would hope others wouldn’t either.</p>
<p>gnu, imagine away. I don’t mind. I probably write most of them in that voice. </p>
<p>It would be an obvious accent , I’m just not so sure it’s always a Texas drawl. More of a cross between a suthen’ boy drawl and a Texan. West Texans talk real nasal and twangy-not me (unless I’m channeling Willie Nelson). East Texans sound more like folk from the South. All in all, I’d say yes-it’ll be pretty dang easy to pick me out on Parent’s Weekend at Bowdoin, even with your eyes closed. At 6’3" and 290 lbs (+ or - a Buick) of fallen glory I tend not to blend in even when I don’t open my mouth. Maybe I’ll leave my Alabama red plaid shorts and pastel pink polo pullover shirt in the suitcase. But then again, maybe I won’t.;)</p>
<p>She not only earned $10,000, she earned stardom (or if you prefer, star-dumb). Would this woman have otherwise ever seen her name and picture in the paper and across the internet? Probably not. The benefit to her may very well be priceless. In a free society, we are free to be idiots.</p>
<p>I had to show my darling and sympathetic wife the photo and the story. Her response to the lady’s claim that the tatoo will enable her to send her child to private school? “Oh, yeah. She’s going to fit right in at that new private school.” :eek:</p>
<p>Just think about the horrible teasing the boy will take. I really don’t think this gal thought this through real well.</p>
<p>You and I are physical twins! At this size, we are usually the biggest in the crowd, so I get what you are saying. I like to wear shirts that have palm trees in the design. I am sure to some people I look like a moving island. :)</p>
<p>I have a midwestern accent with a slight southern twinge, so I am occasionally asked about my accent by people who cant figure out where I am from. One of my best friends in New Jersey, who was born in Alabama and had the accent to prove it, was often asked where he was from. His reply was always: “Jersey. Well, South Jersey”.</p>
<p>I really enjoy your posts and hope your daughter is doing well.</p>
<p>Let’s hope she has reallay great hair then she can grow bangs</p>
<p>Just wait until the wrinkles set in and Goldenpalace.com begins to look like
somthing different. People will look sideways, begin to squint their eyes and say what does you head say again. </p>
<p>Small children will ask mommy, why did the lady write on her face?</p>
