New short blues…

This is what I came up against today when trying to have a name plate drawn up for a character named Mikey Coxhaven -

“Language and Graphics
Most of our products are custom made with images and text provided by our customers. However, **** ***** does not produce products that are vulgar, illegal, or sexual in nature. The customer is responsible for making sure that any text or image sent to ***** ***** falls within these parameters.”

I didn’t want to take the chance so I changed it to Mikey Cuxhaven to make my thinly veiled filthy name slightly more obscure. Turns out Cuxhaven is where the Germans did some testing for the V-2 rocket.

Now I’m hoping ***** **** challenges me so I can drop some newly-obtained historical German truth bombs on them.

p.s. Cuxhaven has a pretty water tower and is a lovely seaside resort. It’s also a traditional fishing town, so I’m gonna make sure I get the crabs when I’m in Cuxhaven.
