But of course, he was merely joking with the baking comment. The 1oz medallion actually says "Moz" if you look at the spaces around either side of the 1- think of it as an M.

There is no way that the madallion only weighs one ounce. Would Moz feel the need to display something on an album cover that didn't have some underlying symbol??? I really doubt that he would pass up a chance to make people like us sit and wonder about everything from his sexuality to his vanity concerning it. My guess is that he doesn't really know what it means but thought that it perhaps did look a little like his name.

It really is an ounce of gold. It is heavier than you think!

Default What about the puppy tags?

For get about the 1oz. medallion.

What do the dog tags represent?

And I wonder what he has printed on them?

Surely not his name, address and rank.

What is his rank by the way?

I have a feeling they represent his childhood desire to join the NAVY.

LOL! Good one So! But i think the dogtags are turned over aren't they? You'd need a mirror and a really good eye!

had been told by someone, not particularly in the know, that it meant 1 ounce of pride. Tossed around the idea of a tattoo of it at the time, but I hadn't even an ounce of pride.
