A "Jumbled" poet

Josh — Fri, 21 Sep 2007 15:27:03 GMT

Today's Jumble words are

Brook
Agile
Oblong
Queasy

Using them, I composed the following.

A nightingale's song stirred in the poet memories of his agile youth, so he leapt over the brook, then leapt back, and leapt over a third time, landing queasy. His stomach soon settled in an oblong box.

What can you make of these four words?

Fans of such playfulness are invited to join Jumble Bums; we do this every day.

Tattoos

Virginia — Tue, 20 Mar 2007 02:48:20 GMT

Do you have a tattoo and where is it?

Is tattooing an art form? I'm seeing them more and more. Now there is a TV show on them.

Being the coward I am I only have the wash off kind.

Plastered

ball2000 — Fri, 09 Mar 2007 10:54:34 GMT

I'm supposed to be getting a job and more immediately, I'm supposed to be moving out of my flat but instead today I found a whole bag of plaster and I took the crinkly paper bas-reliefs off of the wall, and took some baking flour and tried to make an impression of the crinkles on the flour (with the idea of making a cast of the crinkly paper without pressing it flat, I'm trying to find a way to support it from underneath) and it doesn't work just to sort of smush it in to a heap of flour and so then I stuck in a box with some flour under it and poured a bunch of flour on top and that flattened it out too.
So what I ended up figuring out how to do is this:
roll up a bunch of twist-tie wire into coily things and stick 'em under the crinkled paper and then stick 'em on top, in a box the paper just fits in, and then tape a top on the box but leave one side open. Then put the box sideways so the paper shows edge-on and sprinkle the flour in the opening so it fills gradually above and below the paper. when the box is full of flour, tape up the last side and turn it right-side-up again. Then take off the top you taped on earlier and then sweep the flour off the top half of the mold until the paper shows, and you can blow flour off the paper with a straw so its clean, don't blow it with your mouth like it immediately occurs to you to do because you'll get a faceful o' flour, and don't do it two or three times because you're supposed to be so 'smart' and 'smart' people learn from their mistakes. So once you have a clean view of the 'negative' side of your crinkly paper relief (do I have to explain what those are? Am I the only one who makes those?) In your carboard box with the top off, then you mix your plaster and fill it in using a plastic bag with a hole in it like cake decorating. It's that simple and it only takes six or seven hours of your time
WHY DO I DO THIS
WHY DO I DO THIS
WHY DO I DO THIS

And when it's set a half hour later you brush all the flour off the cast and you can peel the paper off if you want, it's not stuck on so well anyway but that would be kind of cool because it's that shiny magazine paper and it's all smooth and cool, and then you could paint watercolor on a relief, but I don't think I'll be able to figure out how to do that, not with all the flour everywhere the duct tape barely sticks to anything, maybe you could put glue on the cast when it's dry and then stick a new piece of paper on there and vacu-seal it on there, Oh plus I forgot when you make your cast you can also try pressing stuff into piles of flour and then removing them real gently so there's a negative, and stick a pengun mints tin on top of that and build up some flour around it and take the tin carefully our so now you have your negative object (head of a pliers) and your negative mounting plate (your mint tin) and you can fill that with the extra from filling your main cast

WHY DO I DO THIS?
CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHY I DO STUFF?

You don't need a two hour infomerchial to tell you the "Secret"

JuBaL — Wed, 28 Mar 2007 00:07:11 GMT

The secret to happiness does truly lie within our own attitude... and even more so...
within our ability to let go...

to fully embrace the now... and to fully trust that whatever you are handed at any given moment is exactly what you need...

and that in fact it is all perfect... and it is ~8)

By having THIS positive attitude you then invite Divine Serendipity into your life....

Thus creating magical Synchronicity all around you....

All your fears are bullshit...

Just let go...

That is the "Secret"

moving huge objects easily

davepattison — Tue, 13 Mar 2007 16:24:45 GMT

This is an amazing technique for moving huge objects easily by hand. So simple, even a cave man could do it.

This isn't a magic trick, just very basic techniques that could have been used on the Stonehenge and other large stone structures.

Watch what a retired guy from Flint, Michigan has figured out!

Where there is a will (and sticks and stones) there is a way...

"Introducing The First Machine To Walk The Face Of The Earth

I have found that ancient legends from around the world are true.
Some megaliths could have been set in place by as few as one man.

I could build The Great Pyramid of Giza, using my techniques and primitive
tools.

On a twenty-five year construction schedule, (working forty hours per week
at fifty weeks per year, using the input of myself to calculate) I would
need a crew of 520 people to move blocks from the main quarry to the site
and another 100 to move the blocks on site.

For hoisting I need a crew of 120 (40 working and 80 rotating). My crew can
raise 7000 lb. 100 ft. per minute. I have found the design of the pyramid is
functional in it's own construction.

No external ramp is needed."

Nutritional Support for OCD-this helps!

Peaceangel — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 19:25:20 GMT

Greetings fellow geniuses, I have recently found two nutritional supplements that help treat the anxiety that leads to our acting out in OCD ways. Every day, I take the amino acid called Theanine in 100 mg. dose, and also 5HTP, which is a serotonin precurser. These two supplements help to calm one, decrease general anxiety level, and help one to relax, and feel good. Besides the mood-enhancing effect, it also helps to decrease appetite, and carb and sweets-craving.......I could go on, but try it yourself, and you will find the right dose for you. Blessings of better living thru chemistry to us all!

panache — Fri, 17 Nov 2006 02:14:41 GMT

Beginning in March next year, we are inviting 9 people to cruise from Bodrum, Turkey along the Turkish coast, Cyprus, Athens, Alexandria on a share expenses basis (very, very inexpensive). We began a documentary in Paris and Turkey last year, and now as it gets warmer in Turkey we are going to complete it. We have a US distributor, and everyone involved will share in profits. It could be quite profitable for you and a real life changer. We are in pre-production of three others...one on black jazz in Paris after WWII until now. We have a Turkish captain/crew/cook on our 70' Gulet, 6 double staterooms still available, all with their own head (toilet and shower). Qualifications? Simply to be able to get along with people. Age? Our producer is 60, our editor is 25. Age inmaterial if you are young in spirit. If you have video experience (HD MiniDV PAL and Final Cut Pro, writing) all the better, but we are doing this to perhaps expand the focus of our documentary which is based on the mystical aspects of Alexander the Great - Title: Force of Evidence. Creative people get free reign as long as they don't sink the ship or the project. We are interested to add some human interest...profound, provocative, funny...to the program, so film making experience in not a requirement. Come for a week or two months. Email me for details.

My new book will be out soon!!

Terri — Mon, 25 Sep 2006 05:25:19 GMT

Anybody like humor, puns, true stories with (sometimes) deep messages, poetry (some weird, some serious) etc.? My first book, "Sublime to Ridiculous: A Collection of Poetry & Probes" has been out since 2003, and is available at Authorhouse.com and Amazon.com. Watch out! People have been known to go from laughter to tears in 60 seconds!
I'm almost ready to send the publisher my second book, "He Opens He's Eyes and He Closes He's Eyes". These are mostly true stories about the way kids understand things they see and hear, and sometimes don't let on until years after they know the truth about what was really going on at the time. Many are about me - some are about my siblings and neighbors. There are also three poems in this book - one is the same that is in the first book, but this time I'm telling the true story about the event that brought on the poem 8 years after it happened. The lesson in that story? Never play touch football in the rain, no matter how crazy you get in high school!!!

Crafty Fruit Freaks

Terri — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 06:13:10 GMT

Anybody else into decorating with fruits & veggies? I am the biggest fruit freak around. Many of my items of clothing are printed with fruit. I've collected a lot of dishes, knicknacks, fabric, candles, pictures, office supplies, you name it, all depicting fruit and veggies. I don't own my home now, but I've had a dream for years of decorating an entire house with fruit, veggies, deer, bread and victorian house pictures. Those are the things that set me in motion. I've collected way too much stuff and I'm still looking out for anything different. Ebay has been financial ruin for me! (sigh) I didn't know there was so much fruit stuff out there. I discovered that I've refined my standards on it though. Some of the earlier stuff I collected when I'd just see it at a sale or thrift store, doesn't quite measure up anymore. I will need to weed it out someday and relist some of it on ebay. If I had a house that I owned, I might even consider painting a few fruits on the outside walls. I've always thought Fruiterville Mansion would be a great name to post out front. I have a ceramic address sign that has fruit around the edges, and number stickers to customize it. It is mounted on a metal stake for sticking in the front yard. It would be the perfect touch, but, when can I buy a house?...no telling!!

At this point, I'm settling for decorating my bird cage. I have feeders in the shape of red and green peppers, an apple and an orange. I also added two hamster hideaways in the shape of a strawberry and a pear. The birds don't explore those much, though - just poop on them. I had been putting nesting materials in them, which they found, but now that I have 10 of them, I'm trying to discourage that act. So the large strawberry and pear caves are just decoration now. I have a large flat wooden tree (tole painting style) that was prepainted when I bought it, and had clouds glued on the back and painted white. I used a twist-tie to wire that to the front of the cage and used a black Sharpie pen to write all of the birds' names, as well as "Fruiterville Finches". The birds are:Chip, Malt, Winnie, Apple, Chocolate, Cider, Fan, Toothy, Hood and Coon. Tweet tweet!! At least they get to display their fruit!!!

How I cured my OCD in an unconventional way!

joebobmichael — Mon, 22 May 2006 22:38:35 GMT

hi I have a quirky book out called Man, Interrupted on how I cured my OCD in a most unconventional way.. I have two oscar winners on the cover. go to www.amazon.co.uk and check it out best Jim give me some feedback if you read it! j im I'm in Louisiana.

Man, Interrupted is the true story of one man's experiences as a sufferer of severe Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Jim Bailey's obsessions centred around drugs and his fear of coming into contact with them, either through people spiking his food, or by accidentally touching a junkie, or even in just touching a photograph of marijuana. After a period of trying desperately to cope with his illness, Jim was eventually admitted to one of America's leading psychiatric hospitals. The myriad methods of treatment there included trips to Telegraph Avenue in Berkeley, California, to meet and greet the homeless and the drug addicts who gathered there in an attempt to 'expose' him to his fears and eradicate his anxiety. However, while trying to cure his OCD, Jim discovered he had another problem: impulse control. Whenever a beautiful chinese woman would pass by on Telegraph Avenue, Jim would immediately disregard the homeless and feel compelled to hit on her. This resulted in feelings of guilt, as he realised that he had come to Berkeley to conquer his fears but all he was doing was turning a source of enjoyment into another obsession. This guilt would make Jim take risks. my email is joebobmichael13@yahoo.com in case I leave this site. Please give me some feedback after you read it! Best Jim

He would run out and share a homeless heroin addict's cigarette, then seek out another Asian girl before feeling guilty again and taking more risks. This, together with the fact that he was housed with around 20 other patients, meant that Jim's condition did not improve as quickly as expected. But he was eventually discharged from the hospital and, as he embarked upon his almost OCD-free life, he began to write the story of his experiences. Man, Interrupted is the thought-provoking account of Jim Bailey's unique journey, told with poignant candour and hilarious, often abrasive humour.

RHAPSODY: Trailer

gklavans — Fri, 28 Apr 2006 06:25:49 GMT

RHAPSODY!
This film has surpassed my expectations. An example of perseverance in the face of adversity, not the film but the journey it took to make this short. Where others were willing to walk away, I wasn't. I saw the potential and needed to bring it to fruition. With the undeniable expertise of Alex Studer and the added sound by Regan and of course the very talented, Marie Roux... Rhapsody will not only be completed, but the film is festival worthy. See the trailer, click on the link below.

March 14th Story

Dragon-of-Q — Wed, 15 Mar 2006 06:10:35 GMT

Reese used to live in a village in the valley. Three years back he had a stretch of bad luck. He lost all of his money, his two horses and his business. He was forced to move his family up into the mountains. He found that the soil at this higher altitude was excellent for growing herbs and tomatoes, thus he was able to scratch a living off his crops to feed his wife and 4 children. He would take his corn, wheat, herbs, and tomatoes with his burro down the mountain once a week and sell them in the market. His herbs and tomatoes were especially high-quality, which brought a good price. This enabled him to buy supplies for his family.
One late summer day as he was out in his field picking the week’s produce for the market he looked up to see a wild goat standing in front of him. The goat looked up at him and asked “Hi, are you Reese?”
Yes the goat talked. Even in this story Goats are NOT supposed to talk.
Reese started thinking about the Mushroom soup he had for breakfast, he was a little worried. “Did you just talk or did I pick the wrong mushrooms this morning?”
The goat looked him strait in the eyes and replied,” Yes I did… I find it just as weird as you do.”
“Oh…” said Reese.
“I was sent by the Eagle,” said the goat. “I am supposed to deliver a message to you”.
“The Eagle?” said Reese. “What Eagle?”
“The one that lives on the other ridge, over there, he said he has been watching you for some time now”.
Goats that talk, sent by Eagles that talk too, Damn what kind of Mushrooms were those, Reese thought.” Well anyway, I’m supposed to tell you that, on this same day, and time, on this very spot next year, Astor will come visit you and tell you how you can get your old house and business back.”
“Who’s Astor?” asked Reese.
“The Eagle stupid... Keep up... Anyway, you are supposed to work hard and continue as you have, and remember, same place, same day, same time. Ok?”
“Ok” said Reese.
There was a rustle in the brush behind Reese when he turned to look there was nothing there, but when Reese looked back, the goat was gone. “What kind of Mushrooms were those anyway!” Reese said out loud. There was no reply.
For all the rest of that summer, Reese was obsessed with his encounter, all through fall and winter for that matter. He couldn’t work or do anything, spending all of his days sitting out in the field thinking over, and over about his encounter with the goat. His family had just about used up all the winter stores of food., and by spring, his wife took the kids and left for the village.
I’ll get them back after I see the Eagle, and he tells me how to get my old life back, Reese thought. He continued this way all through spring and summer sitting in the field waiting for that, “same day”.
On the “same day”, the next year, Reese woke early, he was very excited. He ate his usual mushroom soup for breakfast and rushed out to the field. He had waited a year for the “same day”, now he had to wait for the ‘same time’.
As Reese was looking up, he saw something flying his way. He got very excited, and sure enough as it got close, Reese could see an eagle flying towards him. He was so excited he could barely breathe.

The Eagle landed not 10 feet away, on an old tree stump Reese had cut down 4 years ago to build the cabin he now lived in.
“Well, hello Reese” said the Eagle.
“Lord Astor, I’m so glad you came, I have waited all year for this moment” said Reese.
“I noticed” said the Eagle.”
“Well…?” said Reese, he could barely contain himself; he was just about to find out what he had waited all year for. Astor looked right at him and said, “Well, as Bill told you, I promised to come to you and tell you how to get your old house and business back” he paused looking deep into Reese’s eyes. “This is what I came to tell you.” Reese couldn’t stand it, he felt like he was going to pass out. “Last week, a swarm of locusts came through the valley and completely destroyed all of the crops and half the stores of produce. Wheat, tomatoes, herbs and corn are selling for a hundred times the usual price.
But, I have been watching you and you have not been working hard. I am sorry to tell you, but you seem to have lost your Family, and you are all alone”. At that the Eagle jumped to the air and flew away.

Karma?

i am a workaholic... but i think this tribe has just given me a much truer description for me. um, i bang on metal for hours until my wrists feel like they might snap... make teeny tiny little growy sculptures that mean nothing to no one except the elf living in my skull... blow holes in steel for seventy hours, haul shitloads of it out into the desert and proceed to cut it all apart and put it back together to create a giant cacoon/womb/meditation space...
yeah, i am kind of obsessive, compulsive and artistic... and i'll flatter myself by throwing in a little bit of genius. but that's subjective.

Cut up, down and out, in Kabul

Shooter-666 — Sun, 08 Jan 2006 01:18:31 GMT

“There were a lot of really appalling acts,” he said to me as he stood in a pot hole, ankle deep in cold water. “Puke eating. Lighting light bulbs up with pussies. Screw drivers being shoved down cocks. Hanging beer cans off of pussy piercings. Flame shooting pussies.”
Pot Holes. Yes. Always fucking with your tire. Pot holes, Pot Holes. Pot. Reefer, Madness.
I meet him at the food bank in 2000. But it took two years of hearing about her before I meet her. She was part of that scene coming out of New Orleans in 1999, housed in a loft dubbed the “Ass Palace.” The explorations of perversion coupled with art and performance flowered there. After regularly performing at any venue available in a Pakistani matchbox, they hit the road
Often people question “Why would you want to stuff a Turkey?” Well, I can think of five reasons off the top of my head for turkey stuffing. Thanksgiving is around the corner. That is not reason in and of itself, nor do I mean to imply some type of conspiracy perpetuated by the National Turkey Stuffing Syndicate or the Lubricating Industrial Complex. My reasons are more mundane, of a carnal bestial nature.
I was in Algiers and New Orleans as a volunteer before many of the residents had returned to their homes in October. It was the first time I have experienced a disaster of this scale. I started working at the Common Ground Relief organization in Algiers. I have taken a number of classes from the Red Cross in South Bend and Indianapolis. No class can give you what first had volunteer work gives you in a disaster. At Common Ground, we worked out of a house. Most of the volunteers, such as myself, lived in tents in the yard. Volunteers came from all over the United States. Perhaps a third or less were from the area. The local residents had to leave to escape the storm and many had not returned. We gave out food, water and supplies to the community as they returned, put blue tarps on damaged roofs and helped people file documents with FEMA and the Red Cross to get aid, among other things.
“My favorite thing was the whole meat rack thing” he said over the megaphone to the Burning Muslims in Gumbad. “Hanging all that beer off her tang. It is everything in one act. Aleph that contains everything else.”
Silly and her games, playing in the dirt. Making roads to plant IEDs under.
On their mother. Pimples in the road. Pot holes. Pot holes. Pot. Reefer. Madness.
I waited four days to catch a plane to Iraq. Many planes leave at night. They are less likely to be shot down in the dark. Four days. Waiting at Camp Doha, in Kuwait. They have big hangers with dividers filled with bunk beds. Contractors and troops, coming or going. Waiting to leave. Waiting to head to Afghanistan, Iraq or other points more classified.
Red Lights in my rear view. Like Alice through the looking glass, The White Rabbit I follow In a pot hole. To evade to escape to be free. Where is this new mother? New Earth? Ancient lands, fertile with blood spilled by Genghis Khan and Alexander the Great now glows green with depleted uranium.
NASA brought them to Chile with the CIA ending eye end day. It was dark when I got there. Between 2 and 5 a.m. I had to check for the flight. There actually was a flight the first night. But only two spots. We had three in my crew. First was me. Tattooed Burning Man worker, former mayoral candidate and artist with a bad attitude from Seattle. William, who held the same position as I, Project Coordinator, was a cook from the Air force. He lived in Texas and was about 40 years old, had a big nose and wore Hawaiian shirts and shorts all the time. Even though he held the same job as I, he told people that he was actually doing work building cellphone towers, and counter intelligence. Our job, on the contract, was to coordinate building of structures for the military in a timely manner and insure once they were built that the HVAC and generators worked for how ever long our company held the contract. Our Company was a smaller out fit that Halliburtons KBR and we were able to under bid everyone. Of course, I learned early that it also meant that I made a third of other workers pay and only had off 4 hours a week.
Supplies would arrive in trucks at all hours. We formed a human line to unload trucks. I remember working one night well past midnight unloading tons of supplies. Much like Sisyphus, of Greek legend, who had to role a rock up a hill and down for all existence, we to had to move supplies, up and down. Work started at 7:30 a.m. and ran all day. The most important lesson you learn as volunteer is your own personal limitations. As much as one wants to save the world, or small areas of it like New Orleans, each of us has limitations on how much we can work in a day before we need to sleep and eat.
Winter, Snow covers her face. It peels back The black tar, Like a beauty mask. Eyes melt. Skin Explodes, Everybody dead. A Neutron Bomb A pot hole A hole A looking glass An apocalypse, Now!
She has a very nice Turkey anyway, no matter what time of year it is. Sometimes I look at that Turkey and wonder why I haven't stuffed it already. That turkey is delicious, perfectly rounded and balanced for my needs. It moves with confidence and draws my attention outward and into its secret realms.
Silver ship landed and brought a beast, first it was in the East. Puerto Rico, Miami as far as New York then Seattle, San Francisco, Nevada, Roswell, NM. Acid dreams. A naked breast beneath the asphalt waiting to be suckled A moist soft earth The womb from which all came.
I read the paper every day. The names of the dead are important. The way they died, of interest. I think about the liberals that have attacked me of being a Nazi for working in Iraq. I think about the paper. And why they cannot acknowledge my emails. Egos subverting facts.
Time to go; Go under; Underground; Like Alice; The White Rabbit; Beckons & Calls. Out through the inside Out through the inside. 1234 foot steps at your door.
1234 you can't take it anymore 1234 green skinned reaper at your door 1234 chupacabra spreads its wings and brings to you evil things No one knows their name
But Blood sucking is their game like gargoyles of churches past this devil survived his past Escaped gravity to spread his immorality on our innocent livestock. sangria funk Paranormal Blow job Reach around the Rosie Goat Blood on Sunday
Dead Man on Monday
Smokers are the heel of society's Birkenstock's. Forced out, like a club of defrocked clergy, excommunicated and still sinning, we stand outside, often when it is brisk with a chill, to smoke.
I've always been told that I should try new things. Isn't that a motto at the dinner table? This is something new that I would like to try. Perhaps not at the dinner table. Neither she nor I possess one. I suppose one could be purchased second hand for the occasion, though. It adds a new dimension to the relationship. Trying something new is by definition, new, even on the dinner table.
Smoking is far more entertaining now than it was in the good old days, when everyone puffed away, like an iron smelter, wedged in a desk. Most places today you can't even fire up a smoke at work. But that's all right with me. I enjoy the exodus from the workplace in search of sinful pleasure. Each time I smoke a cigarette, my mind wanders back to ancient Greece. You know, those slave-owning misogynist homosexuals on whom the United States based their philosophical and political ideas. The ancient Greeks would pour wine onto the ground as an offering to the gods. These libations were a celebration of the raw, primal forces that fuel the mysteries of life responsible for the simple pleasures, such as the growing of grapes. When reaping the rewards of nature, they believed in honoring the forces involved.
Smoking is like giving a little to death. How much more alive can one be than when giving a little bit of life back to death? Smoking is pouring a little bit of your precious wine into the dirt. If you are alive - and I am talking more than just a having a heartbeat - you have to ask yourself how much you can give.
Smoking is deleterious, and living is hazardous to your health. I've got stuff to give.
I like filterless cigarettes. The unadulterated, high octane, pure smoke makes me feel kinda funny.
There is no guarantee that any of us will live long enough to get a free cup of coffee at McDonald's. Death is a trap door that pops open under our feet, anonymously collecting souls, like a laundry chute for the gods. No one here gets out alive. I want to get my kicks while I still have something to give.
Not only that, a friend of mine with 8 toes told me that nine out of ten Turkeys like to be stuffed. You cannot argue with statistics like that, if they are true, which we will only debate by experience. Of course, you have to be gentle with your turkey. You can't come in after a nights drinking and just expect to stuff it like a pizza pocket or a meat cake. The turkey is a delicate and beautiful bird that demands gentle, thought out stuffing. Nine or ten times a day of stuffing would be too much. We will have to accept the information of my 8 toed source as accurate for now, due to safety limitations imposed by the US Department of Agriculture.
Mason put down his lite refrigerate so he put on his magic cock ring that allowed him to travel through space and time by masturbation to naked pictures of Chris Farley. Farley had so much Yang in his fat ass that by its gravity, his ass cheeks folded in upon themselves in the 4th dimension, creating Yin, making him the gatekeeper of the Tao.
"Must find Talisha," Mason thought as he pulled his 6-inch average cock out of his puke-green three-piece polyester suit.
I am fascinated by the way stuffer goes in and out. It is at a different angle than usual. Different sensations are created by the stuffing and the textures of the interior. The well lubed turkey accepts the stuffer and his stuffing slowly, like a first kiss.
He really enjoyed his time-travel cock ring. It allowed him to make lots of money gambling. Lottery was still elusive due to probability. Reality reorganizes itself even if you go back in time. So, he still didn't win Powerball. The numbers changed, even though he had them. But sporting events were usually solid investments. Hunting his ho' bitch Talisha was a sport he had the numbers for, but he didn't have the sheet on Donut.
The hardest part of volunteering in New Orleans was getting there and covering expenses. This is a problem for any kind of volunteer work out of your home area. The more skills you have, the more likely you will be able to volunteer in this type of work. You may even be able to get your air plane ticket paid for. A great place to start is the Red Cross. Another good skill is a Ham Radio. Communication is a vital factor in emergency situations. Obviously, general labor is needed to move supplies. But the more specific and advanced your skills are, the better chance you have of being brought into the front lines as a volunteer. Throughout the next year, I am certain volunteer work will be needed throughout New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.
"Must find Talisha," Mason thought as he looked at the naked photos of Chris Farley. He tried to download the photos from the Internet, but Farley's massive Yin-Yang blew the power out for two blocks around his small apartment in Seattle's Central District. It also melted his ISDN line and crashed all Internet service in Seattle for two weeks. Bill Gates sent the FBI after him for making him lose money, but the Feds couldn't prove anything. They determined it was an unspecified electrical pulse with nanofluctuations of orgone energy.
Mason remembered the first time he found the Holmestrobe Time Ring, as he had taken to calling it after the deceased porn star John Holmes. Mason was high on coke, glue, E and pot. He just drank two 40s of Big Bear and found himself at Falo's dump in rural Michigan. Blue flames of methane shot from the earth, a sure sign of the apocalypse, and stinky, too.
His cock got hard. The sun and the moon flashed before him like a time-lapse video. A rusty '64 Chevy Malibu sat before him and Mr. T opened its rusty door and stood before him. Mr. T was naked. He had tiny pierced breasts, like a 12-year-old girl, and a giant afro-covered pussy with eight giant gold rings in the moist brown outer lips.
"Hey boy!" Mr. T shouted. "I want you to fuck the rusty tailpipe of my car. If you do, you will be rewarded. If you don't, I'll get my pump and fuck you in the ass."
Mason dropped his pants and started pumping furiously. Perhaps it was the drugs. At first, he felt the jagged rusty inside the tailpipe of the candy-apple-red Chevy Malibu lacerate his fat cock. But then the rusty pipe turned into Madonna's ass when she was eight years old, tight and dry.
Mason shot a load of thick yellow spunk inside the car. Mr. T fingered his pussy with four of his manly fingers.
"You did good, boy, now get on your knees and eat my big afro-colored pussy until flames shoot out my ass and my clit gets as big as your arm."
Mason remembered that part for sure. Mr. T rewarded Mason by coming in his mouth with a horsecock clit, and gave him the Holmesotrobic Time Ring.
Licking his lips, spitting a wad of snot in his right palm, and eyeing Farley's fat ass, Mason started traveling through time.
He felt his cum rattle through his balls. He imagined greasing Farley's fat body with lard and rubbing his cock all through his belly folds. "Um, cumming," Mason thought. "Must find Talisha."
Find Talisha is what Mason did. But he was to learn more about the soul of humans and the space-time continuum. He hadn't figured on 3 Fingers, the voodoo priest, capturing Talisha's soul.
Mason opened his eyes. He had 17 hard-cocked Grays around him. He saw ' two tiny midgets. And he wished he could get it up to get out of this dimension.
One of the first people he helped was a man called Mr. Jake. He was 93 years old and lived in his home through both hurricanes. He didn't even realize that hurricanes had hit and complained about the condition of his yard. Mr. Jake had injured his arm. We bandaged it and got a doctor in to see him within a day. At this time, even the Red Cross was not working in New Orleans. The city was closed.
How did I end up here, he often asked myself. I know the city of New Orleans pretty well and it was very eerie in its silence and empty streets, like a zombie movie. I live in Nevada most of the time. Once a year, where I live there is an art festival called Burning Man. Over 35,000 people attend this event. My friends from New Orleans that were at the event immediately started raising money once they heard the hurricane Katrina hit. They trained with the Red Cross for disaster work in Reno and drove to New Orleans. I flew into Baton Rouge and accompanied them when they arrived. They were able to raise over $50,000. Most of it went to the Red Cross. And then I got a job in Afghanistan and made a word collage of shit I wrote, that was laying dormant on my laptops HARD DRIVE
To recap, I would like to state that I really want to stuff that turkey for carnal purposes. Why you may ask? Well, because I would like to try something new, something approved by law, that would add a new dimension to the relationship and would support the holiday market.
Once you clean and lubricate the turkey, you can stuff it anywhere you want, within the privacy of your own home, according to the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court allows that in the United States you can do many things with your turkey besides stuff it. It was a landmark decision by the judicial branch, not only for Thanksgiving, but for the other days of the year when one finds themselves alone, with the comfort of a warm, lubricated turkey, willing to be stuffed. Just don't make a website or do it on tribe.net

What is your favorite obsessive art project?
My favorite at the moment is one that my son is doing.
God bless him, he inherited some of the best and worst of me!
He is currently circling letters in a book, that spell out all the words in the Beatles White Album....
I think he'll be cross-eyed before the project is due next week. Ha.

What gives them the right?

shaina — Tue, 13 Sep 2005 06:58:25 GMT

I did this project for the school I'm going to... and well, I turned in the assignment and today I found out that the editor of the project decided that my work wasn't good enough and decided to publish his own interpretation of this piece that I did. His looked good of coarse, but so did mine.
He defenitely has senority since he's the editor, I feel f-in pissed, and that he should have had me do the assignment over if he prefered it to be done differently. What a jerk for just publishing his work and not telling me till I went in today to discuss the piece I did. I shot it a week ago also.
So is this fair or am I just obsessing? I'm upset and needed to get it out.

Shooter-666 — Fri, 10 Jun 2005 19:44:02 GMT

I have a pattern of painting my ex's (a few are in my pictures, plus some other friends. But most of the women are ex's). That is particular obsession. ONe roommate used to joke that when he saw that I was painting my girlfriend he new I was getting ready to dump her. He started doing it too. Any one else do this?

New Work By John Wanzel

dogmatic2bsd — Fri, 22 Jul 2005 05:14:40 GMT

OPENING RECEPTION
SATURDAY JULY 23 6-9PM

BSD is proud to present Daylight, new work by John Wanzel. The exhibition is in search of unmitigated truth and light within a world without. Daylight expounds on the form of the streetlight and the surrounding real-estate. In the ever changing landscape of the city (four unit apartment buildings rehabbed into 2 unit condos, vacant lots replaced by 3 condos, a dry cleaners and a bouquet of posh stores) all that remains are the sidewalks, the street signs and the cobra head luminaries atop metal poles.

Scientists create models to prove theories of nature; artists examine nature through prose, image and sound. In this exhibition, Mr. Wanzel creates miniature aesthetic amalgamations of the walkways that connect the city to itself and explores old theories of the geocentric and heliocentric universe through sculpture and drawing, in hopes of finding the Good within this new composition of the city.

This search is not done in the dead of night, but in the sweltering heat of the summer, underneath our daytime star, the Sun; a place where the luminance of sodium vapor lights have no use.

John Wanzel is a Chicago based artist, writer and radio producer. He received his BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 1999. He is a Co-Founder and Executive Producer of Blind Spot, a weekly live experimental radio show on WLUW 88.7 Chicago. In 1999 he founded stopGOstop.com, a portal/collective website for several writers, artists, and cultural workers living in Chicago. He has also served as the Assistant Director of The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Gallery 2 since 2002.

BSD is open Saturdays Noon – 6pm or by appointment through August 27

drawing

beck beck — Fri, 01 Apr 2005 06:56:52 GMT

I just realized all of a sudden how fun and spiritual drawing can be! Usually I'm more of the painter/writer/music lover/concertgoer and not the drawing type, but I was drawing a shoe the other day and I just sat down and drew for 4 and a half hours. It was insane and amazing! I imagine the people in this tribe can give me some feedback/tips/advice or whatever so yeah....

One more reason to like Swazis

Swaz — Wed, 23 Mar 2005 03:23:36 GMT

"It's that time of year again in Swaziland -- late January through March -- when the nation is gripped by an insatiable lust for having sex and stealing goats. Visitors traveling down country roads are apt to see either couples fornicating right out in the open or police chasing down a wild-eyed livestock thief. Or both."

Their aphrodesiac drink sure does sound fun.

New Tribe: "Polymaths: Universal Humans"

Tue, 22 Mar 2005 20:14:42 GMT

A polymath (also known as a polyhistor) is a person who excels in multiple fields, particularly in both arts and sciences. The most common term for this is Renaissance man. Other terms for this are Homo universalis and Uomo Universale which in Latin and Italian respectively is translated as "Universal Man". Many notable polymaths lived during the European Renaissance period, and a rounded approach to education was typical of the ideals of the humanists of the time. A gentleman or courtier of that era was expected to speak several languages, play a musical instrument, write poetry and so on, thus fulfilling the Renaissance ideal. During the Renaissance, Baldassare Castiglione, in his The Book of the Courtier, wrote a guide to being a polymath. On the other hand "polymath" may be applied more strictly, taking Leonardo da Vinci or Goethe as prime examples, and requiring a universality of approach. A polymath may not necessarily be classed as a genius, which is a more debatable classification; and certainly a genius may not display the breadth to qualify as a polymath. Albert Einstein is a prime example of a genius who was not a polymath.
