otro side note Sat, 23 Sep 2006
I don't want to forget to share this little tid bit. Yesterday I meandered down to the waterfront to sit awhile and ponder life's intracacies. A little way's off from where I sat a woman approached in full evening regalia. Too my surprise she began casting out a fishing line. It was one of the Huck Finn style set ups with fishing line wrapped around a piece of cardboard. Apart from the attire another strange dynamic was the apparent lack of bait on the hook she was elegantly hurling out. My initial assumption was lunacy but attempted to give the benefit of the doubt and thought perhaps she hoped a fish might merely latch on. Perhaps a fish in a particularly lonely state would see the woman dressed as she was and attach itself to the hook in hopes of a relationship blossoming. Alternatively a passing haddock for instance might out of pity for such an unwitting person attach itself voluntarily. Whatever the potentials the women's fishing exercise was shortly ended and I returned to my musings.
I have noted also here in Eastern Europe the trend toward having English text on your t-shirt. In Poland I remember one worn by a teenage girl that said "I have a big one for you." Today I passed a woman wearing "Kiss me and Touch me." Makes one wonder if these individuals have any idea what it means.
