Service men and Merchant Marines, ink was likely the least of their sins. From a fellow who comes from a Navy family with the exception of one who couldn't pass the physical so he joined the Merchant Marines. Ever here of the Murmansk run?mohavesam wrote:I sat in church (with my feet not touching the floor) and watched our pastor call everyone with a tatoo to the front - while he forgave them for violating God's will and repeating vows to not place ink upon their skin ever again.
- Back then I guess it was only servicemen (and merchant marines?) who had tatoos anyway.
Edited, Grandpa was a China Sailor. And knowing all the good and bad about that, I'm still proud of him.

Sorry, When it comes to OT I use Hebrew.
ושרט לנפש לא תתנו
בבשרכם וכתבת קעקע
לא תתנו בכם אני

So, I suppose he told everyone to grow payot (פֵּאָה) (sideburn curls) and beards too? (see vs. 27)JerryB wrote:that should answer your question about where he got that bit from.
לא תקפו פאת ראשכם
ולא תשחית את פאת
זקנך׃
Note that vs. 28 is specifically prohibiting mourning scarification, to include taking on tattoos to honor the dead - kind of like how people today drive around in mobile tombstones with "in loving memory of young dead guy" on the back windows of their vehicles.
Latin puts it in perspective a bit:
19:28 et super mortuo non incidetis carnem vestram neque figuras aliquas et stigmata facietis vobis ego Dominus
"stigmata facietis vobis" does in fact translate to "marks upon you", but the term "stigmata" contextually again refers to "death marks", (see also "stigmata" re: Christ v. St. Thomas) as was a common practice in Ba'el funerary/mourning rituals.
But really... Levitican law? You can't just pick and choose. Levitican Law is an all or nothing thing. That's why Christ came to Fulfill the (Jewish/Levitican) Law...

Re: I remember when (keep this going)
did not pepsi taste better back when it came in a bottle.and not even the ones with the bottle with foam on them had the same taste.
I know all about the sugar change , a good friend worked and retired from pepsi and drinks the pepsi throw back but it's still not like chipping a tooth on the old 16 oz bottle while drinking it as mom drove you home from the store and popped the clutch a bit to fast. and what was a seat belt back then but a futuristic dream.You could even ride in the back if it was a pickup truck,not a SUV 4 door thingy they got now that cost 50 grand.and no chain to hold the tale gate.

Riding home from high school in my buddy's '50 Merc with a hopped up flathead. Hanging out at the Gulf station across from the drive-in theater where I could get a Pepsi, a Drake's Devil Dog and a game on the pinball machine for a quarter and have 2 cents left over.
Coke always tasted better in the small glass bottle which cost 6 cents + 3 cent deposit. We always asked a customer if he were going to drink it here or take it with him so we could charge the deposit or not.

Re: I remember when (keep this going)
My cousin and my friend to this day Pecker deem and I skipped the first day of school when we went from middle to high school and he put his pap's Ithaca 16g s/s shotgun that folded in 1/2 that i still own today in his back pocket when he left home that morning and we spent the day at the river bottom shooting grown hogs out of a 60 falcon. and the next day getting call to the office and got my first of many 5 swats like a man and stood at the office door in the hall for 3 days and became one of 3 the most respected guys in 7th grade.
boy could that high school principle hit herded that the middle school 1.who after we got into a fight over the lunch lady sending me to the office every day gave me 3 swats a day at lunch time for almost a month till I wore him down and he stopped hitting me in the hall 3 swats in front of the hole middle school. I would eat lunch get up walk to his office and say lets go lard butt and go out and lean on the wall in the hall hands first and take 3 swats and then go set down at my desk.My butt was black and blue for months. BUT HE GAVE UP before i did.
he thought drilling holes in the paddle would brake me,but it did brake the paddle.
he dies a drunk,i would kick his bar stole out from under him every time i seen him drunk as a skunk laying on the bar face down for years .He got caught humping a young girl in his office and got fired.
I was known as a guy you could wop but never brake,i would be back the next day till i won or they surrendered to me all through school.and still to this day people talk about that about me.I never had to wait in line at lunch time or be woke up in study hall by anyone. Teachers walked around me all 125 pounds of me in the halls.Carried my smokes in my shirt pocket and dared any 1 to take them. and i won,they all ended up drunks or fired for sex with students and i knew that and never bowed to any of them EVER. wore my cut off blue jen jacket with FIRE painted on the back every day. My last name is Flaim(flame). even though they wever forbidden to ware in school.

Dad sent me to the corner store to buy his smokes for him.
They sold low alcoholic beer (1.5 %) to kids
TVs had a vertical and horizontal hold knob.
You could bike down high street with a gun on your back.
The police would happily beat up the crooks as a way of keeping down crime. (mainly the members of one family in town)
Being hit by my teachers (regularly)
Using asbestos mats in science class with the gas burner.
Child labor - actually encouraged!
Shooting birds in my backyard with a slug-gun and not having the police coming around.
The Flintstones in Black and White.
Listening to the moon landings on a radio at school. (or did I?)
Coca Cola which could rust a nail.

Re: I remember when (keep this going)
I remember when we would follow the mail man around the neighborhood and help him deliver the mail. He had a huge leather bag on a three wheeled cart. And, there was a drop box that was refilled at some point during the day because they had TWO deliveries a day.

Re: I remember when (keep this going)
I grew up next door to one of the many sawmills that used to be here, and I remember many of the logging trucks coming in with a full load that was just three or four logs, with an occasional one-log load.

I don't think the ice cream trucks were called Good Humor where I grew up, but whoever it was, the sound of that bell was ELECTRIFYING! Run into house at top speed, beg for a dime, run back out at top speed and catch the truck before it got away. Those popsicles came out of there so cold your tongue would stick to 'em!jeepnik wrote:
What, no one has mentioned the Good Humor Man or, out here at least, the Helms Bakery truck?

FYI: (Geek Alert...)
I remember TV test patterns being alternating wide vertical bars of the primary colors.
I remember (in parochial elementary school) Sister Mary Elephant laying a wooden ruler repeatedly across the knuckles of the extended hands of (us) miscreants, whose behavior in class was somewhat less than exemplary.
I remember buying/building a crystal radio kit, before a standard radio became a household appliance of ours.
I remember getting out first TV set about 1951 (IIRC, it had a 7" screen).
I remember listening to late nite (after 8PM) radio programs like Gangbusters, Gunsmoke, The Lone Ranger, The Green Hornet & such - at least until one of my parents caught me listening after I went to bed.
I remember being forced by my school to wear knickers (knee pants worn with knee socks) to Kindergarten (UGH !)
I remember getting my first 2-wheel bicycle only after joining a Boy Scout group based in the next town (so I could attend meetings).
The best thing I remember is spending my weekly allowance ($1) by going (5 miles) to the movie section (2 city blocks of theaters) in city of Mount Vernon (NY) on Saturday mornings, where/when cartoons & John Wayne movies ran in endless loops - which translated to going to as many theaters as I could ( $0.10 admission each), watching whatever until the loop go to where I came in, then moving on to the next theater, until my allowance for that week was gone. (of course, I always tried for a front row seat )

That's the color TV test pattern. The one I posted is one of the original B&W patterns.
See lots:
