A few years back there was a magical tiger. We'll call her Tatiana, mostly because that was her real name. This magical tiger lived in a zoo here in San Francisco. One day right around Christmastime, a few drunk & stoned teenagers started taunting her & throwing beer bottles into her grotto. I don't know about ya'll, but when fools start tossing their trash into OUR grotto, we're not too thrilled about it either. Tatiana reacted no differently than any rational jungle cat would've. She jumped out & laid the smack down on those kids. Honestly, she kind of overdid it a bit, & consequently, one of them died. I'm not saying the kid deserved it, but the Darwin Awards exist for these types of situations. Unfortunately, police arrived on the scene only to find a large, seriously pissed off tiger covered in human blood hovering over the two remaining ne'er-do-wells, who were injured, & terribly frightened (needless to say). So, they shot & killed her. What were they supposed to do? It had to be done. Tatiana Never Forget. A moment of silence, please...
Anyway, about a week before we created this blog, the two survivors of the tiger attack were back in the news again. They've amounted quite a rap sheet since then, & petty, small-time crimes are exponentially more newsworthy when you're those damn kids who got attacked by Tatiana. So, we were having a conversation about them, & one of us referred to them as the Tiger Attack Twins. They're brothers, not twins, it's just got a nice ring to it is all. Esme then suggested that "Tiger Attack Twins" would make a great name for a band. Something dancey, something punky. I wholly agreed. A few days later we decided to start a blog. Lacking relevant material, we went with the old stand-by: Identify an inside joke & roll with it.
Recently, we found this t-shirt & became obsessed with it. Someone buy this for us please.
It bears repeating...Tatiana Never Forget.
BTW, Tatiana was born on my birthday!
