Interestingly, if you get ahold of the Euro-version pilot, you CAN see
the tattoo on BOB's arm.  In the basement scene (I can't recall exactly
when), BOB is wearing a jean jacket with the arms cut off.  At one point,
he turns so that his left arm is facing front.  On the left arm, just
below the shoulder, is the tattoo

FIRE       or else it's  FIRE
WALK                     WALK WITH
WITH                     ME
ME

In either case, the word FIRE is in letters twice as big as the
rest of the tattoo.  I'll try to remember to check my tape tonight.
I happened to catch this when watching the tape, but only was able
to read the tattoo with the help of freeze-frame.

A stupid question that all this raises:  why did BOB change from a 
sleeveless jean jacket to one with sleeves?  Can inhabiting spirits 
have costume changes???

The current BOB ensemble:  jean jacket, black shirt, black slacks,
                           work boots, eau-de-scorched-engine-oil cologne.
Anyone wanna come up with a spiritual rationale for this outfit?
