Craigslist has a “best-of” section. That’s where I found this Gem:

Dear SEPTA Train Passengers,
Hi there. You may have seen me: I’m the chick with the sketchbook that sometimes sits next to you, or near you, on the train to and from work every day. You may notice me wrestling my sketchbook out of my backpack, earnestly trying to get some work done on the bumpy ride into or out of the city. You may have even politely craned your neck to see what it was I was drawing. How you doin’…
I’m going to share a few things with you, of which you may not already be aware. These items may or may not apply to other artists, under other circumstances, so I can’t say for sure. You may find these insights helpful. Feel free to take notes, or print them out, but whatever course of action you decide to take, please do try to follow them from this point forward…
This is going to come as a shock to you, but Disney is not the end-all be-all of all entertainment. Just because I’m drawing a lion does not mean that I’m drawing “The Lion King.” Just because I’m drawing a dog does not mean it’s “Lady and the Tramp.”
I am by no means a great artist, but I am GOOD, and certainly good enough to draw easily recognizable animals and figures (my biggest problem is anatomical perspective, not drawing things that are easily identifiable. I got that down quite awhile ago.) If I’m drawing a collie, or a poodle, or a whippet, it looks like a collie, a poodle or a whippet, it does not look like a cocker spaniel. Just because I’m drawing ANY BREED OF DOG does not mean I must be drawing “Lady.”
And if I tell you no, it’s not “Lady”, it’s just a dog, it’s not OK to pause for five seconds, and then ask, “…Is it Tramp?”
It is also not OK to wait an additional five seconds and ask, “Can you draw me a picture of Lady and the Tramp?”
I swear I will stab you in the face with my pencil…

Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo
There’s a theory that everything is better with bacon. We believe that theory with all of our heart. To that end, we are introducing our line of bacon formal wear with Uncle Oinker’s Bacon Scented Bacon Print Tuxedo. You can get married in bacon, get confirmed in bacon or go to the Oscars in bacon! Wait until Joan Rivers gets a whiff of you. Each Tuxedo is tailored from chemically treated latex print fabric in one of four different sizes. Best of all, it smells just like bacon sizzling in the pan. Dry clean only.

ROYALTY.
February 25th, 2009, by side A, 1 Comment »So, one thing I’ve noticed about hip hop: most lyrics (”rhymes,” if you will) are all about self-improvement and high self-esteem. Obviously all of the Native Tongues/”conscious” hip hop exudes positivity and empowerment. But even mainstream money/bitches/guns acts are actually kind of posi at heart. When Biggie is rhyming about all of the cars, homes, and champagne he has, he’s really patting himself on the back for working really hard. Even Dr. Dre’s 2001 has an overriding theme of self-congratulation, despite it’s overall dark quality. Like, sure the world is changing and getting scarier, but don’t forget about Dre. He’s still on top of things, even if he spents most of his time either raising his family or holed up in his studio creating the next platinum album. And, ugh, I can’t stand Lil Wayne, but even he as a decent attitude. He works so hard, he can’t even take a vacation!
Meanwhile, all that indie rock nonsense that surrounds most of us “cool” kids covers three basic themes: “I hate myself/No one will ever love me because I’m so flawed,” “I’m pining away for someone/something I will most likely never have,” and “My heart is broken.” Really great for lifting one’s spirits in today’s extra-fun, completely stress-free world. Right?
Put away your Bright Eyes CD and check out this way classic, super inspirational video from Gangstarr. Yeah, sometimes I think Guru gets a little too preachy, but I swear, you’re going to feel like going out spending some $$$ afterwards.
P.S. I totally wrote a paper about this idea in college, so if you want to listen to me talk for like, 15-20 uninterrupted minutes, ask me about it.
