so I was at St A's last weekend and noticed a fair amount of mdot tattoos, in my mind (47yo bop'er) there could not be a more clear statement of loserhood. So now that i see the tnt haters are crawling out from under their respective rocks, I wondered to myself what is the crossover between the two groups? any guesses?

I'm a little confused by your post - what and who do you mean by the TNT haters?

perhaps bashers would be more accurate those that consistently bash the team in training folks

The only way m-dot tat = loserhood to me is if you have the tat but never did the race. Whats your issue??

.."could not be a more clear statement of loserhood."
Just curious, why would that be?

I'm impressed by the m-dot tatoo. Does that make me a loser?
Not sure of the connection w. TNT you seem to be alluding to.
I think you're just stirring the pot.

Seriously!? I mean, Seriously!!??
I have never heard of anyone say something poorly about the people doing T in T. I think that it's great. Sure, I probably would never do it myself, but because I will eventually get an M-Dot (after I have finished an actual M-Dot sanctioned IM), that means I hate people that raise money for charities?
I don't get it.
Can you elaborate, please?
And, Why LOSERHOOD? You're a loser if you finish an IronMan and get a tattoo? WHAAAAATT??

it cries out look at me I did an ironman which to me is a sure sign of a very insecure individual ergo loserhood. Perhaps I am the loser in that i do tris for internal satisfaction and health benefits not so i can pose in my shorts and flash a stupid tattoo of a corporate trademark
Re: mdot tattoos and TNT [falk]

and the correlation to TNT is what....??
Re: mdot tattoos and TNT [falk]
[ In reply to ]
I wan't a big 'temporary' Mdot tatoo to scare my wife. Not interested in a real one. It's just look like a funky red camel in a few years when my skin gets REALLY saggy.

If you're a TnTer AND you get an I*Dot tattoo what then?

You may not be a loser, just an asshole for using the anonymity of the Internet to take a shot at someone else.

Many people get tattoos to commemorate a milestone or life changing event. I think IM can qualify as that. Most people with tattoos will tell them they are personal, for themselves, not for you or anyone else who may look at them. I dion't think you are a loser for doing tri for internal satisfaction, but I kind of think you are for your "holier than thou" attitude and silly attempt to instigate a TNT argument.

Really? See, I still do not understand that mentality. I enjoy the Ironman lifestyle, enjoy watching Ironman, enjoy racing Ironman, and, frankly, am a huge fan of Ironman. In addition, I have a few tatts (although no M-Dot tatt). All my tatts are for personal reasons. They are mine, not yours. So, what do you care?
What about all the people with logos of football/baseball/college/ teams on their bodies?
By the way, I have a small M-Dot magnet on the back of my car, were does that place me on the loser scale?

if the tattoos are not for someone else to look at then why get them in a place that is visible?
and kytri it seems that thou doth protest too much also it is a bit ironic that someone with ky in their name is tossing around the term asshole

I just dont get the whole trademark thing it seems to me kind of like getting "Ford" or "Timex" tattoed on one's body

I'm a TNT'er training for my first 70.3 race. I have no tattoos nor do I want any in the future. In fact if Chavez nationalizes the banks, tornado risks may increase over Delaware.

Doesn't this thread and your comments about people who get those tatoos say the exact same thing about you?

Falk,
It would seem if you, a TNTer, and a tatoo'd with IM person all completed the same race that you would all have the same internal and health satisfaction. It seems that YOU are the one with the problem as you're trying to imagine yourself as better. No ... I've never been a TNTer or tatoo'd .... but so what??? Get a life!

If you re-read my post i posited (asked) that exact question. I still dont get the idea of putting a trademark on one's calf
Re: mdot tattoos and TNT [falk]
[ In reply to ]
No it's not. It is more like getting the Green Bay Packer "G" or the Dallas Cowboy star tattooed on one's body. Ironman isn't the name of a company, the way "Ford" or "Timex" is. It is much more analogous to a professional sports team.
