A little late getting back on the TE forum to rejoin comments! Zen, you picked up on my impression of Clinger and his facial tattoos. I do appreciate the diversity of cultural expression, and enjoy that everyone does not look/dress/and decorate themselves in the same way. It just seems that those tattoos on Clinger are a very strong statement in the context of the culture that (I assume, but do not know) he comes from. It would be interesting to hear what he has to say about them. Tokie
