Since it's a slow day in the world of MMA, I thought it would be cool to talk about Tapology and ourselves.. anything at all regarding the same.  I'll get a brief start going..

I live in PA, am 30 and have been a fan of MMA since I was a teenager.  Work for the railroad and rarely ever miss an event regardless of promotion/stature.  I like Tapology b/c of the environment it fosters.  I wish we could edit/delete our posts... maybe have categories of threads for the forums, but all in all, I appreciate the type of place this is thus far.

I think most of those challenges are issued by 80 lb teenagers or 350 lb basement dwellers in hopes that the party being challenged will never accept.

@kalibo if memory serves i was on more that 20 flights in 2008 for work related trips.  This year ive been really busy in calgary so ive only had 6 flights in 2011 so far. @jaff about kimbo, i always hear about his power but he couldnt drop a lhw known for not having a chin. Plus hes not that quick and has bad knees.  I would suggest leg kicks and running away then leg quick and running away ;)

I do indeed.  Ive been working in shops for almost 15 years now and when people find someone that can consistently do the type of work i do they tend to be very loyal.  For example i only use really high quality jewelry (www.anatometal.com) and I am very consistent in my methods.  Anyone can stick a needle in and have somethings work out but it takes an expert to have those things work nearly every time and last for years and years.  For example surface piercings are often said to not heal or always reject or whatever else yet i have surface piercings in my book over 10 years old.

Being an "expert", can you basically name your own price?  Do customers pick up your travel expenses?  I just think that is very interesting.

yes and no.  I dont travel unless i have enough business lined up to pay for the trip.  while i could name my own price i do my best to keep costs down because im usually more expensive anyways because im using the best quality of everything which costs me a lot more than most places out there.

I see.  That has got to be an interesting job man.  Any pierce parties going on?  Any crazyness?

Reading this, I just realized how boring my life is ;)  I tend to travel to see bands.  I'll be in Baltimore Memorial Day weekend and Chicago in July for shows.  Knocking bands off my bucket list before they knock themselves off.
