That's kind of funny considering that I have a significant portion of my shins that are putrefying in fact (this is the origin of the "I am a Zombie" claim). I have gaping wounds on my shins from a motorcycle accident.

That is funny that they have a real delusion for it. I'll bet that one of my ex's would know about it. She's a for real necrophiliac, and was actually fired once for having sex with a corpse (She's a mortician/embalmer). She used to drool over my legs and would always ask me to not change the bandages for a few days so that the stink would increase... That relationship didn't last long.

I'm not sure if I should believe that story about your ex...

She's pretty well known in the Houston Texas Goth scene (or, rather, she was 10 years ago). You've never been involved in some of the earlier musical sub-cultures have you (And I don't mean the watered down 90s/00s versions that some of these became)?

The Punk scene in the 70s/80s was pretty much like that, only Renee missed he boat by a few years.

If you don't wish to believe it, however, then don't...

Believe it? Heck, I wish I'd never known about it :-P

That reminds me though: we need to have a Texas LW meetup.

You're covering up your leg before you come, though.

I'm in SF for most of the year... And, I keep both legs fully covered. Most people don't believe me about the legs either until they actually see them. Of course, they don't look nearly as bad now as they did 10 years ago right after the accident.
