Fishtown Hipsters, kicking in the balls. I have to give it to the Russians, they know how to make surprise moves, even Bobby Fischer wouldn't have seen this one coming.

Sal Zizzo to become official Portland hipster, open food cart

Up next: Tattoos, sideburns, fixed gear bike riding.

A couple of things here:
1. Congrats to the Spencers on the new addition.
2. We don't get to see the tattoo. I'd like to see the tattoo just so I can have closure.
3. This is not tattoo music. My wife has like 8 tattoos, we have several close friends who are noted tattoo artists (namedrop: Patrick Dean, Dave Shoemaker, Kevin LeBlanc) and every single one of my high school friends were straight edge, hardcore-types who dragged me to Born Against shows.

After being banned from getting tattoos for fear of infection earlier in the week, it looks like Werder Bremen's players have had to find another way to pass the time until the Bundesliga kicks back into life next month...

Suppose it keeps them out of trouble.

Don't you hate it when someone else mucks up and suddenly everyone's fun is ruined?

That's how they feel at Werder Bremen, where in-season tattooing has been banned due to an infection for Eljero Elia, who doesn't play for Bremen, but rather HSV, their rival.

So it'd be like Fenerbahce ruining the fun for Galatasaray.

Here is the latest MNT in England feature "Memories in Ink"
His memories in ink truly are memories. He has chosen to express important moments in his life through his tattoos, which makes them an ongoing chronicle of his journey.
The great part about spending the afternoon with Jermaine was how open and honest he his about his thoughts.

If they're not getting tattoos of players they haven't signed, they're getting them of trophies they haven't won. Now we've got another daft blue to add to the pile.

Are they the most delusional of the all soccer fans? The most risk-taking of all sports fans? Or just the most confident?
Because if they win the FA Cup, then of course he'll come out looking like the most most alpha of alpha-bro's, and as one who intelligently predicted the appropriate outcome.
