Because Memory Lane is fun.
Nursemyra and her redoubtable fans have a charming tradition here. It made me root through underbed drawers for this one, which I was sure I still had; it’s a one-off custom printed by my notoriously quirky Albino Ex in commemoration of the day he wrapped his mind around the idea that I was in business for myself. “You mean, when someone’s butt hurts, they call you and say they want a butt appointment,” he said. “And no butts means — no lunch money. That takes guts.”
It takes more guts — or something — to put up with the crap I did in places where I was earning a “regular paycheck” that could be cut off at any time through one individual’s caprice, but it was nice to be appreciated, anyway.
I still see Albino Ex pretty frequently. Christmas morning, neither of us having any engagements with others till afternoon and bereft of gym facilities, we took a walk up the nearest bike trail, where – as the whitest man in the county and possibly the watershed region — he chirpily wished all passersby a Happy Kwanzaa. Cheeky bastard.

Daisy: I don’t have much in the archives, but there are stories I ought to tell, like how I happened to take a nude bear rug picture of him (visible here) with a stuffed dinosaur which ended up on the bulletin board in the roll call room at the local police station. After he dumped me I wrote a murder mystery and shot him in the ass at the end of chapter 12, and somehow that made us friends again. But he was always an ink slut.
Very cool shirt. And great story . . .
albino, happy kwanzaa.
That’s subversiveness in action.
I love t-shirts that keep people guessing. Kind of like some of the signs you can find over at Engrish.
