Since the subject came up, I decided to post
pics of Al's experience. Here they are.
Just to give you a good idea where it's located and how big it is, here's
a pic taken the day it was done (Aug 11,2002).

These next pics are a collage of the thing at various stages.

And this last one is the brand as it looked on Jan 20, 2003.
A little info about brands... There's some interesting stuff at
http://www.relache.com/
Click on the "Branding" link and you'll get all kinds of information.
What I learned from Al's branding is that it's a pretty simple thing to do
and an incredibly easy thing to fuck up. This is not something we're going
to be doing at home any time in the near future. I thought that I'd like
to have a brand, but Al was pretty darned uncomfortable for the few days
his. I don't do discomfort.
At least not from the receiving end.
