An Explanation of Sorts

In case you were wondering, the reason that I post art and quotes by the artists is to throw a little culture into my blog. I have received many words of encouragement on this almost-daily subject matter. I enjoy the actions in the searching for images and information on the artwork. It’s like a miniature research project for me.  For the viewer it is a rotating art gallery.

I try to post not only work by well-known artists, but by more obscure people as well. If I choose a popular person as the subject, I try to post an artwork that they are not as well known for. In my art history class last semester we had to memorize slides for all the great masters, but for works that were uncharacteristic for them. You can appreciate an artwork more, in my opinion, if it is a real stretch for the artist. It shows their range.

With that said, enjoy!

Annoying Trick of the Day

In the memo field of all your checks, write “for sensual massage.”

(I used to do this on my car payments.  I would like to see it used on a tithe check.)

Print Shop Stories

Funny that grandpaboy should mention nude cooking in his comment about my Spam-iccne Alfredo. It reminds of this crazy woman that I used to work with that I will call “Liz”.

Liz was a salesperson at the printing company that I worked for two years in Greensboro. She was one of the company’s … err … ladies of less than selective taste. (She was a slut.) She dated most of the guys in the plant at one point or another, but she had a pretty substantial fling with my friend, Mark.

Mark and Liz broke up after a few months but refused to tell us why. We figured she had dumped him because he was a horrible chain smoker.  It drove the rest of us crazy.

We finally flushed it out of him.  It seems that Liz did everything in the nude, including cooking. He finally got disgusted with what once was a novelty when he found what HAD to be a pubic hair in his spaghetti. That was the noodle that broke the Camel smoker’s back.

Hence the name “Nekkid Noodles” (naked noodles to those of you not from ’round here) was given and much like a piece of well-cooked pasta, it ‘stuck’.

True Confession

I ate Spam last night as a tuna substitute in my Fettuccine Alfredo Tuna Helper.  (The odd thing was, it was actually kind of good.)  That’s NC cuisine for ya.

With color one obtains an energy that seems to stem from witchcraft.

True Confession

I often run about the house in a Tshirt and my undies.  (And if we don’t have company, even less! ;-))

Boobs Limerick

There once was a Southern girl
Whose life blew by in a whirl
And try as she did
She could never keep hid
The cleavage that ate her pearls
