When did it become acceptable to call people fags on ATOT?

You must wear braces and have an ear piercing...... YO!

I know they aren't braces, but it be funny!

Have my ears at 0G and don't see that changing in the near future. I could frankly give a fuck if its in or out as far as style goes. I like it, end of story.

Male earrings are for gays and Persians. Also pirates. But not gay Persians. Persian pirates, gay pirates and Irishmen prefer swatches.

These are the same guys who get tramp stamps on their lower backs.

I just spit my $3.29 Southern Harvest Sierra Ale all over my $500 moniter.

You owe me a new beer. :|

I still wear my earring; I've had my ear pierced for going on 30 years now. Never noticed not as many were doing it any more, but then again I just don't care about those kinds of things.

Had my left ear pierced 2x and kept the studs in for the past 15 years. I've never got any sh!t for it.
Never really knew people still think its such a big thing.

I noticed while watching the Olympics that a lot of men from places like Europe, Russia, etc were still wearing earrings. I couldn't help but be reminded of Euro Trip and that one scene where that war torn town is like 20 years behind the US with fads.

"Where's the beef!?!"

this x2. I have stainless steel hoops, 1 in each ear. I too am in the "don't care what other people think about my appearance" club.

I like my earrings. I have had them for 6-7 years. Maybe longer. I used to have my tongue pierced, and would like to get it done again.
It's kind of like going from an automatic to a stick. It's difficult at first.
But eventually you really start to like it. But you never really notice how much you like it until you get back into an automatic and remember why you went to a stick.

Of course you do. You wouldn't decorate yourself if you didn't care.
