BAD NEWS BEARS
Tanner Boyle - THE BAD NEWS BEARS (1976)
Tanner (Chris Barnes) is the only kid to care about winning from beginning to end. He fought the entire seventh grade, graciously handed out racial slurs whenever he felt they were needed, and had the balls to say what everyone else was thinking when he told the Yankees to take their championship and that trophy and shove them up their asses.

About me: Hey y'all
originally from Long Island where I spent my first 30 years. Have been a tattoo artist (RETIRED) since 1991, apprenticed at Peter TAT2 in NY under Erik Desmond where i learned the ins and outs of the tattoo world. Have had the great opportunity to work with many talented artists over the past 14 years and made the move to california in 2000 to work with my best friend Brad Schneider at Beachin'Tattoo in Encinitas Ca. (NOW 454 TATTOO!) Besides tattooing brad and i also started a flash co. called team schneider where we distributed our art to tattoo shops all over the world... but it got to be too much work and started taking away from our time at the shop... so now we have a distributer taking care of all the bs for us (KINGPIN TATTOO SUPPLY) ( www.liquidskin.com ) other than that and painting not much else goin' on.
am a music freak and the king of useless trivia.
Who I'd like to meet: (I will not ADD you if you REQEST me as a friend if...your profile is set to private and you do not message me first, if you are under 18 and I do not already know you or if you are a random chick looking to have 10,000 friends or want me to view your webcam. that being said...)

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
How is that Flaming Amy's painting coming along?!? Just kidding. Let me know if you do anymore prints. The Virgin Fink is framed and hanging proudly over my desk. Right next to a cool Mike Wilson print so you are in good company.
