There are fans and then there are Fans. This Jimmy Fallon audience member? He’s an effing Fan.
Here’s what happened: Fanboy was lucky enough to have a moment backstage with Morrissey. He met the man, pulled up his shirt sleeve to reveal a skinny, pale, untattooed shoulder, whipped out what we can only imagine to be an extra thick Sharpie, and asked Morrissey to sign his arm. Morrissey complied. Then, Chris (the superfan’s name is Chris Gethard) proceeded to have the following exchange with his friend (confusingly also named Chris).
"I have to get that tattooed on my body, right?" I say.
Then Chris says the best thing ever to me.
"Well, your only other option is to not get it tattooed on your body, and you're not doing that."
And that is how last night I came to get Morrissey's child-like signature permanently drawn on to my right shoulder.
Wow. Here’s the hard evidence:
Questions:
1. Why wouldn’t you tell Morrissey it was going to be a tattoo, give the man a chance to make his signature a little less like a first grader’s second attempt at pressing his or her name onto paper?
2. Was the sharpie a deliberate choice? We actually enjoy its aesthetic effect.
3. Can you get a few more tattoos so it looks a little less like you have an unhealthy and excessive obsession with Morrissey? We think it will help in the date department. We’re just saying.
