Buying Stamps at my Local Store

[Eraser Heed]

 
   I have just finished some artistamps that I wan't to use on envelopes alongside "real" stamps. I usually buy the more "official looking" stamps like the Swedish king or queens head on them, these really have an aura with a 1970s official scandinavian dullness around them that I like, but often these small local stores only sell the more contemporary "inviting" stamps with more pleasing and colorful pictures on them. 
   When I wen't out to buy stamps today they correctly only sold this newer crowd pleasing stamps so I had to choose the once that could go well beside my artistamps, that is the once that had the most similar colors and size. From the display I could tell that a new summer edition with flowers as theme fitted my criterias best. I turned to the cashier as the queue line was progressing.

   Now, my neighbourhood is quite a nice and calm place, however a famous motorcycle gang has a lot of prospects living nearby for some reason. Today parts of this clientel was queuing up behind me.

   -I would like the new stamp booklet, please! I told the clerk.

   -We have these stamps! The clerk said while showing me some (from my perspective) awful stamps.

   -No, I wan't the new summer edition set! I replied.

   The clerk looked puzzled and I replied once again;

   -The once with the flowers on them!

   One of the bikers put his hand on my shoulder, he smiled and said;

   -Fluxus is just another name for scrapbooking!

-Thank's Everyone! :)

   The core of Fluxus seems to be a mix between oil dripping mechanics and sensitivity (Flux=Flow as in flowers, us=as in them and us, the integration (non-integration) between humans. Oil is just oil.

   Peace out.
