He's even favored to win. That's a goddamn miracle.
NOTE: I have Justin Thomas in the tournament. Wish me luck.

It was a great shot, of course, my money was on Juventus. I don't like this guy. When Messi scores he runs to thank his teammates. When Renaldo scores he rips off his shirt and flexes his muscles. Grandstanding has no place in a team sport.

Imagine, the Post Office getting paid to deliver packages. What's next, the Air Force dropping bombs?

Why is it that the C is Xed out?
Just guess, please. I need an answer...any answer.

That looks so...painful.

I was once led into a room like this stuffed with mannequin parts and told if I would haul them off I could keep them.
Like many decisions I've made, I turned them down because I didn't have and couldn't afford storage space.

After socializing and being nice to people all day, it's nice to just sit down, drink beer by myself, and be an asshole on the internet.

MURALS BECAUSE, WELL, I'M A MURALIST
I like the way the wall is left the way it was.

Pastafarian?

I've painted portraits using that technique...sort of. Use the colors themselves to advance and recede and not the lightness darkness of the colors.

Once I was in court and the judge asked a guy how he got to the court house since he had a suspended license, and the guy said, "My bitch." Noticing the look on the judges face he quickly added, "My bad. I meant 'My bitch, your honor.'"

I get physically depressed when I see magnificent buildings like this abandoned and decaying.

Ever notice that Italy is shaped like a boot?

Aztec death whistle are created to imitate the sound of human screams.
This was mainly to put fear in the hearts of those hearing the terrifying sounds - in battle or at the sacrificial altar for example. Check out what they sound like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coqeCXXJNIg

But is it art?
Hell, I don't know. Sure, why not.

And....
Many years ago I bought this hot water bottle in a Parisian art gallery.

How very...refreshing.

Fall of the Rebel Angels, made in Naples in 18th Century with one piece of Ivory. No mechanical tools. They said it took him his whole artistic lifetime to complete it.

I have no idea what that is, but it looks arty.

Each window has a story. Waiting for an overdue loved one who will never return. Looking as your daughter goes off to college to begin a life of her own. The blowing of one's brains out. Sunning a newborn. Throwing a kiss to a departing date.

What, exactly, do you suppose that starving African kid ought to make of that statement?
Do these people look like they are from the Middle East?

The C is Xd out because it was a misspelling: she’s actually a great enthusiast of funk music.
