My one time great dorm mate and supposed tweaker, Dave W. Cissell , once posted on his Facebook that “Morality is temporary, wisdom is permanent…”
Notice the butterfly's unicorn horn
Short stack, short stack, coming up
There was a time when I was strictly opposed to the form of body art known as tattooing. I forbade myself from ever permanently scarring my flesh with some meaningless tribal band or ill placed flower. I was opposed, until I heard this story of a band of brothers and their quest for greatness; a story that I’m making mine. This story gave me wisdom.
And, so it was. I ventured into the vast expanse of the world and came back with a permanent scar. It’s something to show just how committed to living life fully I really am. Sunday:
My wife, Jessica, and I went to the tattoo parlor the other day and returned with ink. We were assisted by Ben at Primitive Soul Tattoo in Lakewood, CO.
Nice place. Clean, seemingly reputable.
We were joined by our good friend and snack raider, Tyler J. Jessica didn’t want us to watch as she received her ‘too so Ty and I ran to get some pho. It took an hour, but it was really good pho. Pho 95. The best, Jerry. The best. We were headed back when I received a call from Jessica. ”It’s time,” she said.
When I arrived there were some kids standing outside the shop smoking. One looked like a retard, another one slipped on some ice and nearly fell. As I was walking in, I slipped in the same spot. ”Now who looks like the retard?” their jeers suggested.
We went in and I got inked. Squid style, son. The image of a short stack of pancakes three high, forever ingrained in my skin and on my soul. Maybe one day I’ll incorporate some mythical creature with a bowl of cereal for a body and bulls-eye eggs and bacon for a face hurdling over my pancakes. The sky’s the limit!
Afterwards, we went to a liquor store to get some beer and I showed the Chinese lady my new tattoo and she was aghast. Take that, lady! You just got caked. I’m living. I’m full of wisdom and, now, beer. Here’s a movie:

Welcome to the world of tattoos… get about 9-10 more and you’ll be caught up with me… but I’m going for more soon so you better get moving…
I’m planning on creating a tattoo theme with a cereal bowl with glasses of juice for legs that hurdle the cakes for dramatic effect. That should bring the tattoo tally to about two dozen.
Love you pancake! I’m so proud of you and your bravery to share your story….you just left out the part when you cried
I only cried because of the amazing discount.
Very cool!!! Now you guys really are part of the cool kids table–I guess I am not cool. Well, I use those rub on temp tats…I guess I am sort of cool??!
Cool is as stupid does. So don’t feel too bad.
why not french toast?… just kidding, I know why. But I think you should definitely stay with the breakfast theme if you plan on catching up with Alex. You could get a whole breakfast table tatooed to your back. Just make sure there’s a bottle of sunny D. Love your blogs Aaron, they entertain me at work when people arent dying.
I’ll have nothing to do with the French, that’s why no French toast. As soon as I get some money and buy my dream house, car, pet, etc, then I’ll get that next set of tattoos. I’d say some time next month. I love breakfast.
