a FFAF message from ex-lion tamer

badtz maru.

the sad thing is, i didn't even know about sanrio [except, of course, in the form of their all-too-well-known ambassador] until i was offered to select a character for my yahoo! mainpage skin. the only reason i chose badtz maru is because it was the only skin with a black background. but for some reason that long face has grown on me.

[yes, i have a yahoo mail address. i have to keep a spam bucket somewhere, after all. for all those registration required sites.....i can't remember which fake name i've got there now. i used to have so many of those i couldn't remember them all.]

then, not long after this initial chance meeting, i saw a badtz backpack on a [yes, we still have them around here] aging riot grrrl on her way to work downtown. i was suitably impressed, and felt less bad about wearing GBV badges and stuff like that at my age. [i also have this at the drive-in t-shirt i'm too embarrassed to wear since they broke up seemingly immediately on the instance of my writing a review of their album for epinions...truly i am accursed.]

but, i guess what i was getting around to saying, is that i have not worn a t-shirt with a picture of something on the front in many years. is this weird? i guess i'm sort of amish at heart. i actually got one of their mail order catalogs once out of curiosity [yes, they do have a catalog. have at least since the 80's if not longer.] but i would gladly wear a badtz maru t-shirt. this is not out of character for me as i once got a free promo t-shirt at gamecrazy - it was for some japanese video game involving a girl in a go-go outfit who drove race cars. too lazy to google.

as for the current raging clarke & bad joke discussions...and oh, so many more...i refuse to talk about them. i'm all ranted out. i think that the body politic may very well "pus out" the evil splinter that has festered inside it for too long. however, remember that whenever you hear john singing "don't you know it's gonna be allright" in one ear, don't forget to listen to "meet the new boss..." in the other.

thank you for this opportunity to waste your time.
