Getting Up
Posted by Ross Rosenberg
The city of Santa Ana wants to know if your child is a filthy tagger and they’re providing you with a number of telltale signs, complete with diagram, in order to help you figure it out. Signs that your child may be a paint splattered hooligan include frequently wearing baggy pants, carrying a backpack or being in possession of an inordinate number of “Hello My Name Is” stickers. More obvious signs are carrying around cans of spray paint, tagging things, or suspicious behavior such as leaving the house and saying, “Bye mom, I’m going over to Jimmy’s and we’re going to hook up with the rest of the crew and bomb the community center.”
Seriously though, parents need to be on the lookout for this sort of thing. No one wants their child to be a tagger. Those people never amount to anything.

Strange. That’s how I look when I’m heading downtown.
No, seriously, it is. Minneapolis this time as year is cold as hell, but I don’t want to get my nice coat and hat mugged off. So I wear my hoodie (emblazoned with “Cocks,” no less) and a scarf around my face. Gloves to avoid freezing my fingers off. A backpack for food and drink. No markers though…

Aaaahhh, yes!! The beautiful Eliza Gauger, before she become the amorphous, many tentacled, heap of flesh that she is now – all thanks to blogging. Still, I’d love to spend years gestating her spawn for the betterment of society…
Is that Sean Raybell guy someone we all know? I wasn’t sure if that was the infamous John Brownlee/Florian Eckhardt; he does, sorta, bear a strange resemblance, though thankfully I’ve never had the displeasure of seeing him in person.
It’s also weird, because I did a search for this video early last week for a friend. I was showing off Eliza’s sweet goggles and outfit and this video I thought was the best way to show rather than tell. OMG! We are, like, so in sync, and stuff!! OMG!!!

Actually, thats exactly what I do/ware (minus bandanna and hat). I feel like such a stereotype.

Oh damn!! Ross, I hope she means you! I’d hate to arouse her anger, no telling what devious little things she could do to someone.
If you stop contributing to Ectomo for a while, I’ll know why. Good luck, Ross, see you in Cthulhu’s clutches my friend!

Bah! Taggers are just vandals, no better than the people who write computer viruses.
