US Marine Corps fighter pilot takes his patriotism to new highs by tanning the US flag onto his chest
2023-07-21
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • Joshua Falgoust, 34, achieved the unbelievable patriotic look with a roll of tape

  • The Marine Corps fighter pilot said the process only took him about ten minutes
    ...ten minutes to attach the tape, 2 1/2 hours to acquire that painful sunburn.
    "his antics may have been fueled by some celebratory beverages"

#8  Magpie, yeah, but unlike a tattoo, the tan will fade.
My son used to be a Marine. When he was stationed at Camp Pendleton, he was shacked up with a woman. He went down to Tijuana, got her name tattooed on his shoulder. He got out, she dumped him. Then he met his wife. Who has a different name. Twenty three years later, he still has the tattoo. And the wife, fortunately. She is actually cool with it - her attitude is that she got him, so it all worked out.

#5  Seems tame for a Marine. I expected branding.

I still wouldn't tease him about it, though. He might become 'un-tame' at some point.

#2  I'd post the pic of Wendy O. Williams of the Plasmatics wearing nothing but electrical tape above the waist, but I think that might be wrong side of the line for the comments here.

Did see her live sporting that get-up. Long before the stuff in the bikini pix above.
