You know who else “rarley” makes history? Illiterates. Seriously. I Googled “famous illiterates” and came up with nothing. I heard once that Charlemagne couldn’t write, but even he probably had the sense not to get bumper-sticker sentiments tattooed under his boobies. And somehow I doubt that the “Objective” line on this chick’s résumé says “Holy Roman Emperor.”

Copy & paste this:
Fact: Charlemagne lived after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. He had very little to do with Romans, in fact.
Gosh, some literates don’t make history, either, by the look of it. The Holy Roman Empire doesn’t have anything to do with the Ancient Roman Empire. The Holy Roman Empire existed from th time of Charlemagne (the first) to the time of Napoleon (no, he wasn’t the last.)
That is entirely speculation. Jesus the historical figure (not Jesus the Christ, the religious figure, who may or may not be the same person) was born in a time of extremely loose familial lineages amongst the lower classes. All that stuff about the census was bollocks. The Romans would only care how much money you made for tax purposes, not who your father was. Also he may not have existed at all.
Side Boob!
AMG. This is more boob that you will see on Chatroulette if you try for weeks and weeks.
Actually, Charlemagne was crowned “Roman Emperor” (which pissed off the Eastern Roman Empress at the time). The first “Holy Roman Emperor” was Otto I in the 10th century. As for the Merovingians thinking they were descended from Jesus, not sure where you got that from as the first Christian Merovingian king was Clovis (thanks to his wife) who was not the first Merovingian king.
Also, it was the Merovingians who were descended from the bloodline of Jesus Christ, not the Carolingians. Because a lot of people get that wrong.
Not Klingons?
LMAO….very funny! ;D
WIN WIN WIN!!!
I thought they descended from a water horse god?
So you’re talking about 476 AD ish? The “Fall of Rome” was an arbitrary date set by Gideon in order to tidy up his history. It marks the date of a battle that did invade Rome, but affected it no worse than a usual skirmish.
The idea of this fall was embraced by intellectuals of the 1700 who were disillusioned with religion and defined the Christianization of the western world as the end of an era of ideal wisdom and life. Unfortunately, while a handy assumption, it doesn’t really hold water.
Stupid. Just stupid.
Nice girls spellcheck their tattoos. Skanks don’t.
WIN!!
Double win!
I’ll third that!
C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!!!!!!
you said “boobies”
I’m sure the guys who will see these tattoos won’t be able to spell either, so it really doesn’t matter.
So,Mother Teresa wasn’t well behaved?
No. She wasn’t. She did nothing to help those who were suffering. She thought that suffering brought you closer to Christ. She provided them a place to suffer, but did nothing to ease their pain.
When her time came she had the best treatment money could buy. You can bet that she did not suffer one bit.
Mother Teresa was a sham.
Yeah I read all that.Nothing? Nothing at all?? She did more for people suffering than I ever will. It’s a bad tattoo site.
I meant to delete the last sentence. I’m a bad drunk.
i posit that no, you are an AWESOME drunk
MWAH!!! big sloppy drunken kitheths for you!
But you’re still young. You have plenty of time to make people suffer.
it says “rarely” not all the time
Actually, it says “rarley.”
YARLY!
Fal!
I am sure they will not be spending time reading the tats….I am sure they will just look at the “boobies” and say WHAT tats?? (lol)
Right, and what about Lady Diana, or Marie Curie, or…
This list is long and distinguished, so your argument is truly invalid.
Oh yeah, and if you’re gonna get some body enhancements, start with some bigger boobs. At least, something that’s worth covering.
I beg your pardon, her boobies are just fine. They do not need “enhancing”.
Hear hear!
(Insert some old saying about hand size and bewbies here).
“Boobies”? Isn’t there some minimum age requirements on this site?
And she should go for implants, since she already has self-image issues. Why else would anybody “modify” their bodies like this?
You rock, sister! Don’t pay much mind to Ian. He’s an old man with the maturity of a newly-post-pubescent boy. He seems to have the idea that everyone gets tattoos for attention and that all women should look like the airbrushed images he tries to hide from his wife.
Agreed!
Small boobies rule!
And it’s people like you that help reinforce other’s insecurities.
I actually prefer them small….big and mishapen doesn’t really do it for me.
I tried not to say it, really I did. I have a problem with her breasts. They would be so much nicer if the problem was fixed. Seriously, has no one else noticed her breasts are covered by her hands?! That is quite a problem and I think it needs to be remedied!
Down the hall, third door on the left. It’s called hawtness.com. Your soft-core fap material is there, not here.
Actually, it was just a joke. You know, in response to the gosh her boobs are small type of comment.
I think a tattoo removal would greatly enhance these boobies.
I would argue that Princess Diana and Marie Curie both prove this argument. We love Princess Diana because she said “screw you” to the way most royals acted and came across as human. And Marie Curie was one of the first women in science, dealing with stuff no one else had dealt with before. So they may have been well behaved but they certainly weren’t by some people’s standards.
Sorry to disagree. Diana and Marie were “well behaved.”
But, they were also intelligent and ambitious, which set them apart from too many women, and put them on the path to history.
An old expression says, “Misbehave to get attention. Achieve to get recognition.”
She mis-quoted it too. It’s a quote and a book by my favorite historian, Laurel Thatcher Ulrich. It’s supposed to be, “Well-behaved women seldom make history.”
So seldom instead of rarely (or as she spells it “rarley”) is where she messed up? Even if she got the correct word in that spot I’m sure she still would have spelt it “seldumb” hahaha (It was funny in my head)
it’s still kinda funny, don’t worry
She might not have been confident about how to spell “seldom”
It kills me that Ulrich’s quote is constantly used (and badly re-stated) on bumper stickers and t-shirts. And I bet she doesn’t get a dime.
Or that it’s contributed to Marilyn Monroe, as a girl doing a “project” on her my Women’s Movements in the US class suggested. And when several classmates pointed out that it was not, in fact, Monroe who said it, she countered with: “Well, it was one of her favorite quotes.” Except that, you know, Ulrich didn’t pen that sentence until the 90s.
Here in NH she’s huge, since she was a grad student and then a professor at UNH. The state historical society sells tshirts with that quote on it. I wish I could have been at grad school here when she was teaching because that would be so awesome.
Sweetie,
Charlemagne actually went out of his way to become literate, and promoted literacy throughout the Holy Roman Empire, and he established schools, and bookmaking houses as part of his effort to drag Europe out of the Dark Ages. He wasn’t literate, when he assumed power, though. I’ll give you that.
Of course, this makes it all the more embarrassing that this gal’s under boob tattoo is a mockery of that. Always proofread your tats! Also, why under the boob? I don’t get it. She’ll never see it, and time will erase the message, as gravity takes its inevitable toll, and will hide the message.
Carolingian script developed partly under Charlemagne also greatly improved the writing systems of the day in legibility and spacing.
This tattoo could use some legibility and spacing. And, uh, spelling, too.
so what basically you’re saying is “time heals all wounds”
nothing? not workin’ for ya?
bah!!
You could also say, what goes around comes around, or
Time wounds all heels.
awww out-winned rather blatantly
*tips hat*
Really? I know that Charlemagne kept his school in Aachen and was a great lover of literature and learning, but I don’t believe he ever learned to read.
I think the general consensus is that he attempted many times to learn, but was unable for some reason. This doesn’t mean that he wasn’t read to every day, but I don’t think he ever managed it by himself. He probably had a learning disability or something.
So, yeah, he was big on the book learning, but I don’t think he ever managed it himself. And I a lot of the compendiums and spread of literate monks was greatly aided by his decedents. Except Clovis. He was useless.
I thought the phrase was “Well-behaved women seldom make history” anyway?
It is. Funny how you’re the first to point that out.
It’s that time delay thing, hon. Posts don’t always show up right away if they contain certain keywords, are by someone not on the “this person can post immediately” list (I’m thinking they use something like that on the Cheeze sites). If the latter is true, it must be IP based; last night, I signed on from a different location and my post took a while to show up, when normally it doesn’t. Whatevs. Oh, and I sent this picture in. I should change my name.
True. When I posted that I was only the 3rd one or so. :p Sigh.
…..does Krusty the Clown count as a famous illiterate?
Either way, this tattoo is fucking stupid. Women who do things differently make history; women who ‘misbehave’ are usually skanks.
100% agreement.
I believe that is what Ulrich meant when she said “misbehave” — going against societal norms in say, the 17th century, could be seen as “misbehaving” by contemporaries. I don’t think she means it as, “Women who misbehave by drinking underage and going on ‘Girls Gone Wild’ make history.”
…….That’d be a very odd history book.
I have to say I agree regarding the quote, that it’s true until up to the 20th century, when women were willing to stand up and make their own choices. These women who made history wasn’t well-behaved in their peer’s opinion, but they still made history. Why? Because they were willing to go against norms and expectations.
To really show off this tattoo you’d likely have to be topless in public. So, is she going for that Courtney Love-style fame? or maybe more like Jenna Jameson-style?
Or she could just go for video footage and get Paris Hilton or Pam Anderson style-fame (although her qualifications for the latter could use some enhancement)…
This is just dumb. Guys are going to look at your boobs, because they are guys and boobs are boobs. If she’s not into guys, girls are going to look at your boobs, too, because boobs are good and we are all silently judging each other.
No need to go muddying up the waters with what ever the hell this is supposed to be.
HA!
If her breasts could talk,they would probably be screaming dumbass at her.
If her breasts could talk she’d be a millionaire.

Every time my sister and I (two well behaved women with nary a boobie tattoo between us) see that bumper sticker we sigh sadly. Seriously, this post (and Emily Post) totally made my day.
From a distance, the script font make it look like her boob has a beard.
…..wow. just wow. what does “du bist ein Idiot” roughly translate to?
I’m not sure, but I think it translates to “ben is a shitface” or something.
your originality continues to stagger
C’mon, guys, cut her some slack. It’s really hard to see under your boobies!! Try it sometime!
Just kidding, she’s a dummy.
Good observation about the font!
Depends on what stream of feminism you follow, to tell the truth.
I’m pretty sure Stephen King has dyslexia.
King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden is also dyslexic. So, to a minor extent, is the Crown Princess Victoria, his daughter.
i actually really like this tattoo…..
They’re tat for tit
Your research skills leave much to be desired:
Charlemagne ruled much of Europe, but he could not write, and may not have been able to read either.
I’m assuming she got this tattoo where she got it to, “hide,” it from her immediate family: I get young girls in all the time who want the intensely liberating and self-defining rush of getting a tattoo, but since Mommy and Daddy are still footing the bill for their college tuition (and, more than likely, said girl is still living under their roof), they still can’t deface their body ’til they get that BA and satisfy their budding social status. “I want to express my individuality and uniqueness… but my parents will KILL me if they see it!” Hah-wah? I have to wonder if the misspelling of tattoos is more or less prevalent w/today’s tattoos: spellcheckers and those idiot abbreviations that have become the norm while texting has essentially murdered any discipline that comes from expressing oneself through writing… if words/writing isn’t a dead art, this last decade most definitely has crippled it.
Who alerted all of these Society for the Promotion of Accurate Charlemagne Information committee members?
sbelle – you win the make me laugh aloud after reading a splendid chain of posts award (and informative too)! The tangents are amazingly glorious. Bravo!
Well behaved men rarely make history either. If you want to be remembered, you need to be edgy!
You know, like Hitler or Stalin or Timothy McVeigh or Charles Manson or…
I just googled “rarly make history” to see if there was a back story. Didn’t find one, though there are a LOT of people who think it IS spelled this way. I’m guessing she saw it on the web and decided to copy it as is, without even considering if it was spelled properly.
Either that, or she is making a post modern statement about the flux of language in a post industrial digital global village hermeneuticly deconstructed Marxist-Freudian blah blah blah…
WOW… talk about totally ruining a lovely quote…. nice ink work as far clean lines and clarity though… lol 2 bad.
To paraphrase the Princess Bride:
“There’s a shortage of perfect breasts in this world. T’would be a pity to [misspell words on] yours.”
I do believe Plato was illiterate, and proud of it too:
“[Writing] will introduce forgetfulness into the soul of those who learn it: they will not practice using their memory because they will put their trust in writing, which is external and depends on signs that belong to others, instead of trying to remember from the inside, completely on their own. You have not discovered a potion for remembering, but for reminding; you provide your students with the appearance of wisdom, not with its reality. Your invention will enable them to hear many things without being properly taught, and they will imagine that they have came to know much while for the most part they will know nothing. And they will be difficult to get along with, since they will merely appear to be wise instead of really being so.” (Phaedrus 275a-b)
raphael the italian painter, not the turtle, was illiterate. he had other people write up his contracts and what not.
Harriet Tubman was illiterate. And she likely had epilepsy.

“Women with small breasts rarely get laid.”
