Is It True?

Loveable children’s favorite, and possible body art subject.

In a previous post, Bees and Calligraphy, I wrote the following about bees:

They make honey, that sweet nectar byproduct without which Pooh Bear would have never gotten his head caught in a honey pot, in that adorable image by A. A. Milne. If it weren’t for that image, I’d have nothing tattooed to my left butt cheek.

This revelation elicited a myriad of responses:

• That’s weird.
• That’s funny.
• That’s unusual.
• That’s weird in a funny and unusual way.
• That’s adorable.
• Wait, it’s on your butt? That’s not adorable, that’s horrifying. You’ve defiled a precious childhood memory. If I ever meet you in person, I will whomp you on the head with an ax handle.
• May I see it?
• A.A. Milne is turning over in his grave.
• That’s amazing. I have the same tattoo on my left breast.
• Stop following me you creep, or I’m going to blast you in the face with pepper spray.
• I’m going to consume alcohol until every brain cell I have containing that mental image is destroyed.
• Ick.

Note: Upon reflection, the thing about the pepper spray is probably an entirely unrelated matter.

But I have a confession to make: it’s all a horrible lie.

I don’t have a tattoo of Pooh Bear or any other beloved cartoon character on my left butt cheek. In fact, I haven’t any tattoo of any kind anywhere on my body.

I know what you’re thinking now: has everything I’ve read on this blog been nothing but falsehoods and mindless tripe. Allow me to clear the air regarding a few items that have appeared in this blog.

• Did a crack-head, wielding a razor blade, really accuse me of being a leprechaun: yes.
• Did I work in a place where the foreman had a pathological hatred of raccoons because they have “little people hands”: yes.
• Did I meet Bigfoot in a local pub and enrage him when I accused him of having chiggers: I wish.
• Did I ridicule a Bigfoot hunter when he claimed the best way to escape a female Bigfoot was to run downhill, because female Bigfoot can’t run downhill due to their large floppy breasts: awesomely, yes.
• Did I subsequently interview Lady Bigfoot regarding the allegation that she has large floppy breasts: don’t be ridiculous…her breasts were immaculate.
• Did I receive an angry letter from, Eduardo, a Bolivian pudding maker, after I may have implied an association between Bolivian pudding and Egyptian dung beetles: no. I did, however, receive a scathing letter from an Egyptian dung beetle.
• Was I frisked and manhandled by the police in Amarillo, Texas: they’re a handsy group.
• Did I once pull on to the tram line in Buffalo, New York, after mistakenly believing it to be a weird little street and get the vehicle wedged between the curbs: yes.
• Did I once inadvertently wash my hair with flea and tick shampoo: shut up!
• Did I dig a moat around my home to keep out Gerald the neighbor kid: I’m still waiting on the permits.
• Did I put piranha in the moat: weren’t you paying attention, there’s no moat…yet.
• Was I denied the sale of eggs after jokingly telling the cashier that I was going to throw them at a police car: people just don’t get my sense of humor.
• Did I inadvertently set another person’s vacuüm cleaner and carpet on fire: let’s just say mistakes were made.
• Do I really have an irrational hatred of mimes: it’s not irrational.
• Did I really smash a mooning garden gnome with a shovel because its butt was directed at my kitchen window: not that you or anyone else can prove.
• Was I once taken captive by a crazy woman–Misery style– because I had stopped writing this blog to focus my Jersey Shore fan fiction: I’m going to yes because I know you want it to be true.
• Do I write Jersey Shore fan fiction: If only I had that type of ability.

Now that this burden has been lifted from my conscience, the healing can begin.

Yes. This really happened.
