And now, the first in a series of excerpts from a two hour conversation between two people who haven’t seen each other in 12 years. What was once though to become a reunion of pleasantries turned out to be a competition of snark making up for lost time.
ME
(points at red-lined illustration of a fish on Chele’s upper ankle.)
So what’s with the fish?
CHELE
It’s a tattoo.
ME
Oh. Figured you just scribbled it with a red ball-point.
CHELE
No, it’s a tattoo. Brandon designed it. For me.
ME
Brandon?
CHELE
Boyd. From Incubus. We’re friends.
ME
Ah. Cool. I can do that.
CHELE
Do what?
ME
Scribble anything on my leg and say someone famous did it.
CHELE
…
ME
Like I could draw a unicorn on my leg, show it to people back home. They’d ask “what’s that?” “Rick Allen did it” I’d say. “You know. Drummer from Def Leppard? One arm? We’re pals.”
THEY STARE AT EACH OTHER QUIZZICALLY
END
I bet Rick Allen does it all the time. Y’know. Drummer from Def Leppard? One arm? We’re pals.

the tattoo is still cool though and why would anyone in their right mind scribble a fish witha red ball point pen on the inside of their ankle? Hard angle ya know
