Comment of the Week and more Kraken Contest Stuff

The Contest! 

This week the prime comment came from Celeste Nist… Now, Celeste is someone I know well. She is also someone the Bo’sun met in Orlando last year. Celeste is a woman of ink. Colored ink. She not only tattoos those willing to undergo the pain, but she herself is decorated with tattoos.

I love Celeste. She is a total kick and with her cohort, Kim, they prowl the conventions…making connections, drinking beer and taking no prisoners. I trust these ladies so much I made them my designated asskickers at RT. Gave them buttons and everything!

This week, Celeste finally told me where my kraken was…

Okay.
He told me not to say anything, but I really want that Betsy Johnson ring.
Sigh. I'm selling him out for jewelry.
The Kraken has been with me at the tattoo shop. He's always found tattoos fascinating and given his artistic nature, he decided to do an apprenticeship with me.
Now, he's not that good *yet* but he has a ton of potential and is a very fast learner.
And with all his tentacles, he will be able to do four times the work that a normal tattoo artist can manage.
And I'm pretty sure his specialty will be realistic portraits of underwater life.

 

 

I forgave Celeste for hiding him away. After all, he would be a natural at this! I also know he’s never going to be content whiling away his time in the midst of Ohio…he needs water. So I’m sure he’ll be moving along soon…

What does Celeste win?

A note book with my wonderful cover on it so she can be a walking advertisement for me! Aren’t I generous!



Now, we all know about my sentiments regarding FB and the new crackdown on rule breakers… I’m a pirate, I do guidelines. Hence, I have removed reference to the need to ‘like’ my author page. And I won’t be using the “C” word on FB. But…I still welcome comments and I love pictures… And I am keeping a list of names… Just don’t tell FB.

Kay!?

So, let’s keep those comments coming! Remember, I have some serious swag to award!

That is a plausible explanation with the tattoo parlor. (Yes, Celeste and Kim were both lovely. And young. And cute. Why did I like them again?) Plus, wouldn't the Kraken bring his own ink?!

I have that notebook sitting on my coffee table. Just sayin'...

Yes, just for being you!

And you are right, the Kraken would be great for the plain black and white tattoos... ;-)

So today I wake up to a call informing me that the Kraken I have been searching for was present at the shuttle launch yesterday and was last seen sneaking aboard for a little Kraken in space experiment of his own he is convinced that repairs in the space station will go faster with his assistance and seeing as how he is a dedicated Trekkie he knows everything he needs for a successful mission.

Great post :D Just a little note to let u know I stopped by :)

2nd Chance said...

Amanda - He is a very adventuresome beast! ;-)

2nd Chance said...

Thanks for visiting, Leanne! No more guesses for where the Kraken has gone? ;-)

I like the tatoo parlour hypothesis .... as long as he doesn't do me.
I don't want tadpoles all over my physical manifestation thank you! :lol:

I think it much more likely that he was admiring himself in that Kraken's mirror and got transported through space-time to God knows where in the Universe. I hope he takes pics. It could be very interesting if the portal takes him to another galaxy.

No doubt we shall find out at the end of the month! 8)

2nd Chance said...

Q - It seems likely. He's like Elvis right now, being spotted everywhere!

I'm hoping he'll run into the Doctor, who will see him safely back to the Caribbean soon!

Bosun said...

When Q said "tadpoles" did anyone else think sperm? Just me? That's what I figured...

2nd Chance said...

You spent the afternoon with an erotic writer... Of course your mind went there!

Bosun said...

Ha! It's Dee's fault. LOL!

Chance is talking online now! She sounds so professional. No pirate speak at all. ;)

I personally think the Kraken might have used all the rain as an opportunity to surf on up the Mississippi River. I'd suspect he's always wanted to see what happens in the US. With a tentacle that long, I'd imagine he can swim against the current.

2nd Chance said...

He is curious! But the flooding isn't on him. Though he may be sighted saving some cajun folks in the coming days...
