I want to buy a thing! The thing I want to buy is a poster. Not just any poster:
this poster.
HUGGIN' SPINES
When I was younger and more foolish than I am now, some friends and I visited the Outer Banks and stayed at this really cool house there. This house had this poster in it. It clashed with the thematic decor of the entire rest of the structure, both interior and exterior. That puffer's horrible gaze crept across us while we slept, since it was in a bedroom, for some reason.
I want it.
I don't know anything about it. I don't know when it was printed. I don't know if it was a minor ad or if it was widespread. I don't know if it hung in airports or in shopping malls. I do know that searching for the wrong thing while trying to find information on it will result in you reading up on
comic books with gay sex on a plane, which isn't really what I'm interested in at this juncture.
So! Maybe you're in Japan. Find this and sell it to me. Maybe you know someone in Japan. Ask them to look around! Maybe you have an extensive collection of Japanese airline memorabilia and you want the blowfish's terrifying leer removed from your residence!
I can help with that. Sell me this thing. Please.
