Knee’s B’s

So the other day when Jess Versus offered to give people free DBB tattoos at Glamour Garage I was sort of annoyed that two of the people getting them couldn’t make it.  Since I was there anyway, and Jess was expecting to be tattooing for me, we decided it would be good if she tattooed something incredibly stupid on me.  We settled on this really dumb joke I came up with a while ago.  There is that expression, “You are the bee’s knees”, and for some reason I though the concept of my knee’s having bees on them would be really funny.  Trust me, I know it isn’t funny, but I sort of got that idea in my head.  I knew I would never actually get bumble bee’s tattooed on my knees, but then I saw this girl wearing a shirt with an uppercase B and a lower case b on it in Helvetica. Bb. And it reminded me of the alphabets that go around a class room when you are a little kid to teach you how to write the alphabet. So yeah, it all came together, and I thought it would be really funny just to have a Bb on my knee, and then when people asked me what the hell that was, I would be like “That’s my knee’s B’s”. Again, clearly I know this was a stupid idea for a tattoo, but now it is a just a stupid tattoo.  Ladies and gentlemen I present to you, my left knee:

    You’ve made a laughingstock of your body.

    Your knee’s new tattoo is the logo for a company called Backboard, a platform for delivering educational content. See: http://www.blackboard.com/

    Thats pretty great, but I am not sure why they would use a serif font for a blackboard design. Who writes like that?
