Hey! Just saying Hi and I love you!!

m a r l e y

jamaican: "hey my good man. what brings you here?"

jaggy: "vacation. oh im just looking for some beaded necklaces and some t-shirts."

jamaican: "well, city boy, take a look over there."

He points across the crowded room of gifts - wooden vases, countless t-shirts, googly eyed stuffed marine life. He leaned over toward me and made me look down his arm, He pointed with one eye shut as i focused on the end of his index finger. there was a wooden box with a carved face of a man with serpentine-like dreads which wrapped around the sides of the box.

jamaican: "do you know what that is?"

He turned to look at me with wild eyes. Silence drowned the gift shop stand. We remained like stone statues for a few seconds.

jaggy: "a box?"

jamaican: "no no, look at it again."

jaggy: "uh, ...............jah?"

The tall and thin young jamaican man cackled like an evil super villain. As i tried to drum up another response for this box before me.

jamaican: "no city boy. it is the face of bob maaaarley."

After he said that i did sort of see a wizard-like bob marley face carved on the side of the little wooden box. But he was trying to tell me something.

jamaican: "do you see the face of bob marley, man?"

jaggy: (pause) "Yeah. I guess."

jamaican: "look closer. "

I stared so hard I could have burned a hole through that box. A small warm gust of caribbean air gently blew some gift shop wind chimes and i suddenly smelled a soft wisp of incense. I wondered what this man wanted me to do or say next.

jamaican: "well city boa, go ahead and open it."

I hesitantly walked over to the box and picked it up. It was made out of cheap driftwood and painted in a glossy clear coating. I began to pull open the top of the box which has hinged. it creaked as I opened it with caution. inside the box was at least half a pound of lizard green and golden ganga.

jamaican: "Do you now see the face of bob marley?"

jaggy: "Yeah, I see it alright."

So much for beaded necklaces and t-shirts. I spent all the cash in my wallet and the spent the rest of the vacation in an oceanside hottub high as fuck sipping red stripe. I can now say that I've seen the real Face of Bob Marley.

another note to self: that half a bottle of scotch i think dissolved my liver. i have no liver. is that cool? or am i gonna feel it later?

also, people realize how much effort and stuff was put into the jaggy spoogography i'd like to thank xip, manko and other sg's for their contributions.

i didnt finish the paper. im in big trouble. over/out

Yes, ghostbusters it was! You're only the second person to get that.

Ha ha ha! That's from BBC2!

You used to live in Ipswich???

Well I guess it makes sense for you to be in Texas - I don't suppose there is much call for cowboy hats and oils wells in Ipswich....

Thanks for your comment about my set! Too bad it was rejected But like I mentioned the other day, I think it's time for me to shoot another...hopefully I'll get on that soon!

As for my coffee, at least it waited for me to finish my first cup before turning against me!

Thanks dude!!
