Okay, TN hivemind. If you’re stung that I’m using this design, now’s the time to buzz about it. (Sorry.) (…Not sorry, even a little.)

    I like it. It’s clean and easy to use.

  • Dayna says:

    I like it. What’s it for?

  • Beanie says:

    @Dayna – Thank you! I’ve been wondering, but thought I was the only one who didn’t know.

    So, what’s up, Sars?

  • Lori says:

    I feel that keeping calm and eating a bee are mutually exclusive activities.

  • Clover says:

    I have eaten a bee. Not intentionally, either. I was running, the bee was in my path and . . . down the hatch.

    “Calm” does not describe the state I was in when I ate the bee.

    I am also curious about this cryptic message!

  • Mingles' Mommy says:

    I’m with Lori and Clover:

    … What?????!!!!

  • Seedlessgrape says:

    “Eat a bee”/”Eat a bowl of bees” has become Tomato Nation parlance for “Go jump in a lake”/”Go fuck yourself.” In addition, something that “eats a bowl of bees” is something that sucks and can go fuck itself.

    I like it! At first my reaction was kind of like Lori’s–that keeping calm and eating a bee seem mutually exclusive. But then when I thought more about what eating a bee really means, I came around. There’s something extra “fuck you” about saying, essentially, “*Keep calm* and go fuck yourself.” Sign me up for a shirt!
