I am getting a new tattoo tomorrow
Meet Steve:
Steve is a Jackalope. All my life when i was kid, growing up I would see rabbit heads with deer antlers, and all my young life my dad convinced me that these animals were real, and hard to find. It wasn't until I was 10 years old I was told they weren't real. I was saddened, because any time I saw a Jack rabbit I would hope they had antlers. And I was always disappointed.
The Myth:
"The myth of the jackalope has bred the rise of many outlandish (and largely tongue-in-cheek) claims as to the creature's habits. For example, it is said to be a hybrid of the pygmy-deer and a species of "killer rabbit". Reportedly, jackalopes are extremely shy unless approached. Legend also has it that female jackalopes can be milked as they sleep belly up and that the milk can be used for a variety of medicinal purposes. It has also been said that the jackalope can convincingly imitate any sound, including the human voice. It uses this ability to elude pursuers, chiefly by using phrases such as "There he goes! That way!" It is said that a jackalope may be caught by putting a flask of whiskey out at night. The jackalope will drink its fill of whiskey and its intoxication will make it easier to hunt. In some parts of the United States it is said that jackalope meat has a taste similar to lobster. However, legend has it that they are dangerous if approached. It has also been said that jackalopes will only breed during electrical storms including hail, explaining its rarity."
They make me smile, and remind me of my childhood, when my dad would play tricks on me. And I think Steve conveys the emotions of frustration I feel when I get horrible jokes played on me.
