That is an absolutely fair critique, Jeremy, and I certainly understand it.

...I see people paying tens of millions of dollars for some "fine art" I wouldn't wipe my ass with, even if the canvas and oil were as soft as charmin.

On the third hand, I was completely underwhelmed when I visited the Tate Modern for the first time. The original Tate I try to visit every time I'm in London; the Tate Modern -- I doubt I'll ever go back unless there's some beautiful female art-lover involved.

And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

Wife number (the Korean girl) two used to drag my ass to the National Museum of art in what seemed like every other weekend in D.C.
Drove me.
"New exhibit", yada yada yada
I would have rather watched college football, and I basically fucking hate college football.
No, never on a Sunday, that's professional football, and even she knew better than to attempt THAT, lol
That girl took to heart her William & Mary bullshit traditions. I think they were nailing her with the same pointers they used in the 17th century. (No typo- 1693, no kiddin') God's sakes, I visited her school, many of the class-rooms had high-back PEWS for the students to sit in, no lie. No wonder she was so friggin' "arty", etc.

That said, Van Gogh was always one of my favorite 'famous' artists. His style is more scale-accurate than Picasso's but the brush strokes being deliberate and flowing has always enamored me (although I could never implement that style into my own work).

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season
beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.
beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
Zero2Cool (8-Aug) : Packers star Howton, first NFLPA prez, dies at 95 😔
dfosterf (8-Aug) : Apparently it is too complicated for several to follow your simple instructions, but I digress
