Minerva Mink II

I can't really figure out what Ms Mink is doing here, sticking her tongue out a moment of mid-ecstasy or giving herself a bath...or both maybe?  Whichever....I'll let you decide.

Got It, Flaunt It

It's been quite a while since I've done an Alice Mitchell one.  I'm not quite sure what Joey is staring at, the water can or Alice's nether regions, but I'm leaning towards the former.  As for Dennis, he turned 60 in 2011, so you'd think he'd have gotten the 'birds and the bees' talk by now.

Screwed, Brewed, and Tattooed

Another year, another Leeburg Bikefest in the books.  To be quite honest I didn't do a heck of a lot of riding this year, mostly due to mechanical issues....45 year old hardtail springers tend to do that from time to time.  Instead however, I opted for the concerts, lots of heavy binge drinking, and a new-ish tattoo.

Back in the '90s I was never really into Candlebox...a little too mainstream for my musical taste back then...but as I've gotten older my tastes have become a little broader.  Scoring a couple of VIP passes for my GF and I didn't hurt either....hence the somewhat "up close and personal" video.  In case you're wondering, no, I'm not VIP material....and definitely felt like a fish out of water rubbing elbows with the rich and/or elitest douchebags that normally populate that area.  But don't think I'm afraid to guzzle all of their complimentary booze and ravage their assorted cheese and deli trays.

I also got a decent vid of 'Miss You' for the acoustically inclined...and another song, but couldn't remember the name of it.  So, yeah, shoot me a reply if you know the name of it.

At one point I was up against the stage, but all the little bleach-blonde, twenty-somethings with paid-in-full boob jobs clamming and elbowing for prime "take me back to the band's motor home" positions up there made shooting half-decent video all but impossible.  Pretty damned good (free) concert for a bunch of 40-somethings.  Yeah...their debut album was 20 years ago.

As for the tattoo....nah, it's nothing new.  I got it back when I was twenty, but over the years all of the color faded out of Mr Ghost Rider.  It was about a decade overdue for getting re-inked.
