They have a list of violators that they are going to go get after they see one more disrespectful tattoo. #1 on the list of people the Maori ass kickers will hunt down #2 is this guy A bike rider named Clinger. He got these tattoos after he "read a book about Maori...well actually looked at the pictures" He could have at least read the book. He spent $40 on them while on vacation in Argentina #3 Zaya and Buzzy! Oh no! I copied parts from the same book in my sketchbook a couple of nights ago! C'mon Maori ass kickers...We only copied a sketch that someone else disrespectfully copied. It's like shooting a dead man. If he's already dead, why is it a crime to shoot him again. Cut us some slack. The Moko author is roasting in hell. We can prove in a court of tiki that we are reproducing these drawings in the same legal capacity as the printer of the book has. Are the Maori mad at Simon/Schulster, parent company CBS/Viacom, and all its employees and susidiaries for this infraction too? Looks like Basement Kahuna is about to get an order for 5 million Maori war clubs. On the serious side, my favorite part of the book is where they mention that the tattoo was drawn as a signature on legal documents and treaties back in the day. It was so distinct for each person that it was recognized as a legal mark. Hey Ben, did you ever see my maori stamp collection? It's over in collecting. Zaya loves it. I'm going to sell it to her and buy myself a wood burner with the money. I'll let her borrow it. Gonna be Busted Buzzy Out!
