  1. I think my son was about 9 when he stopped wanting to go to McDonalds. Maybe 10, I dunno. Anyway, too bad 8 year-olds can't vote, they'd love that McD Trump photo op.
  2. And you call yourself Italian...
  3. You didn't tell me we were fightin in a basement.
  4. In the Goblin World where I dwell, I have been tweaking the booth displays for more oomph. Back during the pandemic, I did mountains of small paintings that I could mail for $5. I had a lot of them left when face-to-face shows started back up, and even though they were cheap (40 bucks,) they really boosted my show sales. I was outselling my peers. But then they ran out, and they weren't really an efficient use of time-- I could knock out larger, more profitable paintings in almost the same amount of time. Those sell too, but more slowly. So, short-term, I fell behind my friends, who started kicking my ass in the 20-40 dollar slot. So a couple months ago, I decided to just copy what they were doing-- order a shit-load of 8 x 10" prints and offer them at $30/ea. I used digital images of long-ago-sold paintings. Ordering them takes no time, the only work is cutting mat board to go behind them inside plastic sleeves. Maybe now I can finish more big paintings while occasionally slapping out scads of quick $10 drawings to cover the low end. The past two shows where I sold these prints have been the best two of the year, with the prints doing the work. They cost me about $5.50 each when I order them in quantity, and folks pay 30 without blinking. (If anybody here is interested, they're available on my Redbubble listed earlier for maybe 10 bucks for a one-off. But selling eggs on Malta and all that.) Now maybe one day I'll get a van that can hold wire screens for displaying more paintings.
  5. Eesh. I agree with the snide little liberal guy, but that high-pitched voice combined with whatever the fuck that feather-looking microphone is make me want to slap the shit out of him.
  6. First time in ages I get a wad of cash together, and the shiny shoots up before I can buy.
  7. Damn, boss, that's like Real Art Stuff. Get after it! Post more!
  8. They're gonna start spittin in your jello salad.
  9. Seem kinda... nervous. Got something you'd like to get off your chest?
  10. Did you know that 65% of all websites use WordPress?
  11. Layin' in bed with a couple of pistols, I could do that.
  12. Rice and beans.
  13. We'd have to time it right drink-wise
  14. Why? Do they put beans up their nose?
  15. Back during my time keeping Law and Order as a Natl Guard MP, a sergeant told me polygraphs were good for getting confessions out of people you already had a good idea they did it. Make of that what you will. I mostly did relabeled Cav Scout stuff taken over by the MPs, which was fine because that was my original specialty. The one Law & Order incident where I played a part in the interviews, both parties blabbered away.
  16. Think you might be making the wrong assumption about which group you fall into, Smoove.
  17. At my house we call that "turning off the phone."
  18. Even if they take the phone, there is the possibility that the murder could have been committed by one of those freakish people who are able to roam the earth while the phone sits at home.
  19. Pretty simple answer. "You make a strong case for Trump, and I'd vote for him if all that were true. But unfortunately it's all bullshit, and because you're my friend I am afraid it's rotting your mind."
  20. By "exhausted" they mean "has to hole up for day-long explosive shits."
  21. In Espanish. Posted farther up but I am too damn lazy to find it. You simply must trust me this time.
