He's a cold hearted snake (ooohhh) look into his e-eyes...uh oh

the fanny pack...we all used to have one...i'll rephrase...i used to have one, there are pictures...mine was bright orange, i guess, why wouldn't it be?

while we all make fun of the fanny pack now days...i think simply by wearing one, your behavior is excused, in some situations of course...

why? because you are almost certainly defined as a tourist when wearing the fanny pack, and they don't belong...they just don't know the ways of your city/town/state, etc...

tourists are often laughed at, i'd imagine, but are also probably given more grace than the locals...at least sometimes...

the boa...in new orleans, it is basically the same as a fanny pack...you wear the boa in new orleans, it's the same as wearing the fanny pack in dc

and, baby, don't you know that i wear that boa...and i wear it with pride (until i take it off and my skin has turned green, and i look like either the wicked witch of the west (east?) or like i have caught the fungus....

but, simply by telling people that i didn't belong in the city, by my wearing of the boa...i was almost given permission to wait until the crosswalk said go, before i walked into the street...or given permission to look confused when someone said something i didn't understand...or given permission to take out my camera and take pictures like it was my job...or to buy touristy stuff...all that, just by spending 3.99 or 3 for 10 dollars on a boa...
