ART AND THE ARTY
BOOKSHELF TOY BOX UPDATE
I've wrapped several book blanks in canvas. I wish I had thought of this a long time ago.
That, of course, is not art, but it reminded me of one of my installations.
It's called 'I Said Left, Harold' and it is one of the few that I did for free.
The right turn signal is wired to blink 24/7.
There are so many stories associated with that.
The whole thing was covered in a huge black plastic tarp and it was supposed to be lifted by helium-filled balloons but it would have taken dozens. So, I put a couple of friends on the roof to pull it up by hand.
Also, our vans were full of supplies for a mural in Daytona and we left the moment the mural was unveiled. We stopped for breakfast after driving almost all night and in the Denny's there was a Florida Times with I Said Left, Harold filling a quarter of the front page - IT HAD BEAT US TO FLORIDA!! I called my wife to tell her and she said that I Said Left, Harold was on the front page of a New York Times section and also newspapers in Mexico, Canada, and Germany. Go fucking figure. I later learned it was a no-news day and newspapers were desperate for space-fillers.
The company occupying the building does not own the building and the old lady who does own the building thought we were making fun of people dying in automobile accidents and made up take it down
A sculptor friend of mine used to do stuff like that all the time. He painted everything in his studio white (and I mean everything) to facilitate display of his doodling.
This is not it, of course, but I once took a huge painting out behind the art department and leaned it against a fence while I went for my truck. When I got back the painting was gone. I asked around and found out an art history professor hung it in his office. When I confronted him he said he thought someone had thrown it out. I did not believe him.

How many can you name?
Matchbox, Jayne Stokes (because)
There was no indication as to scale.
Is that art? Hell, I don't know.
I remember when I didn't think photography was a real art form. I felt the same way about computer art until some very smart people showed me the light.
There is no rule that art can't be silly.

Well, soon I will have to stop cancelling plans "due to covid" and resume cancelling plans with my usual bag of petty lies.
FUN WITH LANGUAGE
Been there done that.

All things Ralph...
There's no pleasing some people.

Was my wife happy about the new “No phones at the dinner table” rule? No. But did we have some great conversations as a result? Also no.
OBJECTS OF INTEREST
Side-tipping wagons are used for unloading ballast like sand or excavated material from major construction sites quickly.
As I understand it the car does not tilt itself but rather drives to the lifting apparatus.
I've been an advocate of using shipping containers in construction for decades. I still like looking at the final products.
My wife bought one of the smaller models for $500 and put it behind her store for storage. For that kind of money why aren't they used more often?
That clerk is lucky for the plastic protector. It would have hit her right in the face.
Imagine checking your bank account only to discover that your car had ordered itself a new set of tires.
And that is how you make the best French fries known to man.
One of these things is not like the others...
Does any of you know how that is possible?

Writing a resume is hard when you're average. You just start listing all the bad things you didn't do. "Has never stolen a seafaring vessel." It's like when a bottle of water is like "gluten free" because what else are you going to say about it, it's water.
HUMAN ACTIVITIES
I've almost given up on Prime and Netflix. I spend more time looking for a movie than watching a movie. And the ones I watch remind me of the movie The Producers where they try to make an awful production just to lose money for tax purposes.
Fuck Turkey. How were those jerkoffs allowed to join NATO?
Faked moon landing? Flat Earth? Who cares. But now voluntary stupidity is killing us.
Oh, yes it is. I am happier today than I've ever been. I think the trick is to stay busy and, of course, finding a mate that loves you as much as you love her.
He's looking around like - You saw that, right?
This reminded me of the day the total eclipse passed right over my house - literally. It was one of my peak experiences.

T-SHIRTS YOU MAY HAVE MISSED
I think it has more to do with the holder than the kicker.

You've never had Belgian fries.
C-6, I'm 42 so... 42
D'Ascoyne, I've had French fries in Belgium does that count? Ate them with mayonnaise and loved them.
The fries at Five Guys are so damn good because they are so fresh.
