Sandwiches, Tattoos and Cruise Ships (and a banana, here or there)
Posted by: typealice In: Daily
There’s a sandwich contest that Clive and I are entering this week at a local deli. First prize is ten free sandwiches! Clive and I brainstormed today to create our sandwich creations in order to participate. Clive’s idea is chicken and bacon and bar-b-q sauce and tomato and lettuce. The kicker is the name he thought of: CBT. No one else on the island will get it except us! (However, they also have a sub named “The Hummer” (featuring hummus, of course) so I wouldn’t put anything past them. The second sandwich is a vegetarian one with mushrooms and pineapple and dill pickle slices and everything that I like, and Clive named that one: Notorious V.E.G. He’s clever!
One conversation that’s all too frequent on BME is tattoo theft or tattoo mimicking. I normally ignore those conversations because I find them fairly boring, but now I need advice! I received an email from someone today saying, “I just came across the tattoo of a comma you’ve got, I must say it kind of rang true with me and I’m thinking of getting something along the same kind of lines. Seeing as it’s your idea I thought I’d best check on your feelings of someone else emulating it.”
I do NOT like the idea of someone else having a comma- and especially having a comma because of it’s personal meaning. I plan on having commas incorporated into all of my future tattoos, so it’s not like it’s just one stupid tattoo. But who am I to give permission to someone or tell someone they’re not allowed to get it? It doesn’t seem fair. I’m stumped. Advice?
In other news. I’ve had my camera for a year and a half and have only recently discovered the digital zoom. I’m really impressed with the quality (I expected the pictures to be pixilated, but they’re not). Featuring: a cruise ship with thousands of overweight people aboard.
That’s wonderful! I like it when people read that journal
