Christmas Rapping

I am browsing bias binding in Fabricland * . A young woman enters in a state of excitement, I hear her say to her friend behind the counter

There’s a crowd outside watching wrappers

?

Another customer standing at the counter has heard differently she says:

Watching a ruckus - what’s the ruckus about?

The first girl says:

No - rappers – like singing

The friend behind the counter becomes slightly interested:

Are they famous rappers – or just community rappers?
(for verisimiliutude do not pronounce the ‘t’ in community when you say that sentence in your head))

The first girl says that  she doesn’t recognize them so they’re probably just 'community rappers'.

I need to know what 'community rappers' look like so I abandon the bindings and go outside.



This is Mr Woodnote, he has more videos on Youtube


*Fabricland is my favourite Bristol shop, decorated with shouty notices in multi-coloured text, I can always depend on seeing a bit of community improv theatre when I visit

  1. I was a wrapper once. People kept buying tea pots and footballs and weird dildos and saying(rather smugly) "Could yer wrap this for me?"

    1. I love the idea that on your way to a football match you can pick up the ball and then a dildo to stave off the boredom

  5. We have Fabricville rather than Fabricland here and it is horrendously bland and the women who work there very snippy--and I'm not just talking about their skills with the scissors.

    Happy holidays to you!
