the nike store in melbourne has closed. hold your ho-hums. because this means there are no retailers in melbourne, that i am aware of, which carry lance armstrong's "livestrong" bracelets. i wear these less because i care about cancer (a topic seldom pondered) than for the fact that i admire armstrong himself. i don't admire many sportsmen but he is my second favourite. after roy jones junior, naturally.that leaves the internet. where i found a biz which will make "livestrong"-type bracelets of one's own choosing: one decides the colour and text. "here's a laugh," as the fellow said when mr pickwick got into a scuffle with a coachman.
very much doubt i'll be bothered to go through with ordering+payment but my preferred design is a glow-in-the-dark bracelet which reads: "do not revive".
some other slogans i considered:
do i have to?
why me?
can i go now?
the answer is no
nothing lasts
not interested
so little time
sorry for nothing
travel doesn't help
sick of rock
and
you smell.
all terrific, i know. but there can only be one winner.
