A member with a slight tendency towards lateral thinking (and in connection with our previous entries on the subject of 'AA related' tat ) sent in the following link: see here
And some examples:
As you may observe at least some of these have modest artistic merit (although quite why anybody would want to have AA insignia indelibly marked upon their bodies is quite beyond us) and therefore may be regarded as one step up from genuine 'tat'. We do recall however that this is a practice employed by some members of the so-called Sponsorship (cult) Group (New Jersey) who have the name of the group tattooed about their persons - somewhat unimaginative and rather more reminiscent of 'branding' cattle we would have thought but then these little 'doggies' are 'barking' mad anyway!
We've also recently received an enquiry following our entry on the subject of the two thugs currently operating in East Kent (Westgate-on-Sea Big Book Study – Sunday) as to whether there any plans to bring out '”bobbleheaded dolls” (so beloved of Clancy fans!) of the two Harrys (aka Batman and Robin). Our correspondent writes:
“Christmas is coming and I want to buy some for all the people I hate or for the dog to chew!”
Phew! They must really have it in for them! And to give one to a dog to chew? We think this might constitute animal cruelty and then we'd have the RSPCA on our backs! Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your point of view) there are no immediate plans to bring out such items. Our contact will simply have to find an alternatively horrific 'gift' with which to punish their enemies and/or entertain the dog. Any ideas!
Cheerio
