Jeez.. yeah, I've been tipping today (Guest in a corporate box at my first ever Nascar race.... well, at least I got to drink free..) so maybe my funnybone is more sensitive than usual BUT

These three had me howlin' till tears of laughter ran down my cheeks.

I'm not far from Washburn and for a penny-ante University, they've always thought they were something special.

Tell ya what.. let's do these three ideas in paper maiche and take them up to Washburn's courtyard. We'll call a newsie or two and drag them along when we set up our "art show".

When Washburn freaks, I'm sure the ACLU will rush to our defense.

Gotta love that PC cr p. It's only offensive if WE say it's offensive. No one else can judge.

I guess I'm racist for thinking those above statements were hugely funny, right?

BTW, I don't give a fig what Washburn uses for lawn art, although Pink Flamingos are just about their true speed.

I just think the rife hypocrisy is too good. Just too good.

BTW, Funk.. make sure the Imam is at least waist up... you'll want to show the Martyr Vest of dynamite and all....

Then surely you all or the ACLU won't mind my upcoming sculpture depicting the fondness that some african americans have for watermelon and fried chicken that we've been hearing about for the last 150 years?

I had nothing to do with it... Take it up with the Supreme Court.

And now.. a quote from our sculptor: "Art's subjective, that's why it makes the world go around,"

Why is it most "artists" tend to take themselves and thier vocation WAY WAY WAY too seriously? Could it be that nobody else does?

Freedom's freedom, dude ... don't go squawking how your's is more important than mine. If you're free to crap on the street in front of my house ... then I'm free to crap in front of yours. And whatever precident set in the courts of our fair land that you think is hunky-dory for your own ends might well come back to bite you in your own end. So while you hummm and haaaa and start up with the "exceptions to the rule" stuff ... just remember ... everyone has a built-in bs meter.

You're welcome. No charge for the unsolicited advice.

Apparently, you've just graduated the Grunherz school for arguing both sides of a discussion.

Don't let me get in your way... I'm just an observer.

How you come up with that convoluted bit of tripe over my asserting that freedom cuts both ways is kinda entertaining ... in a slapstick buffoonish sorta way. I guess some people want to interpret the law to protect them from the freedoms of others while making sure it gives them the freedom to act outright imbecilic. ShruG ... such is the world we live in today. Listen .. it's simple ... you may want to have it both ways .... but you're not gonna get it. So learn to choose your fights more wisely. Freedom came at a high price so it's pretty damned easy to give away on the street, yaknow.

I don't know about the ACLU, but if your work of art is reasonably priced I'll purchase one for my mantle...rather than a standard african american (you PC pansy!), could you make it a guy in blackface with the big white lips?! And maybe he could be chasing after a white woman too!

I thought at first that you weren't the artsy fartsy type, you being an engineer and all, but I was wrong!

BTW...I just went to an art show that featured art from a friend of my sister. It was about racial stereotypes from her perspective as a black woman...one of the works had the words, "Negro Vagina". (replace both words with something more colorful http://www.rent-a-negro.com ...it's kinda funny

I have absolutely no idea what your talking about.

Thank you, SOB. I was beginning to wonder.
