They Shoot Horses Don't They

There is a food cart on the square who's owner used to be a big advertising dude in Chicago. He really loves my photography and is making a new food cart. This will be a vegetarian solar green cart and he would love to have an image by me that go onto his cart (like a mural).

If anybody has any ideas what would look good on a veggie/solar/green food cart I would love to hear them. Plus - remember IT'S WINTER, not like I can run outside and take photos of lush green crops or anything.

On the same subject I was reading the Art Fair forum and they wanted to know the best wisecrack a person has had to listen to and I mentioned the woman who said

"How do you get that "paint by number" look.

To be honest at the time I thought it was a valid question for that particular image. She was not actually insulting because I knew EXACTLY what she was talking about. Yet - as the day wore on that line kept going through my head.

About a half hour later on the forum a guy comments on that particular wise crack

"OK, I gotta admit, this is one of the best I ever heard. It's insulting on
so many levels!"

Of course THEN I had to tell the story about what Kitty B'Gosh did to me at the NEXT Art Fair.

A woman comes into my booth and looks around and then seriously ask's "How do you get that paint by number look".

The blood was rushing from my brain when she breaks out laughing and introduces herself as a bloggette.

Remember that youtube video a few days about of the tower falling the wrong way? Stop Light dude lives just a few miles from that place. The reporter who interviewed him about Public Enemies was slightly injured by a falling wire.

I had a real LOL moment today while reading the USA Today. One article is talking about the Vikings and Favre saying the movie "They Shoot Horses Don't They" comes to mind!

This next game on Sunday COULD be Favres last game of his career. He is already positioning himself with an MRI today and I'm wondering if in the 3rd quarter after Mathews sacks him for the 4th time, if all the coaches will gather around him, shielding him from the crowd and we will hear a gunshot.

JUST KIDDING!!!      (they would not shield him)

Then after my fantasy ends I read on. They say his passer rating is 72 which reads like a cadavers body temperature.

I really think that Green Bay will be his last game.

Speaking of republicans - there is one I like and would actually vote for, but then I would have to move to Alaska. Republican Senator Lisa Murkowski.   Any republican that does NOT want Obama to fail is a good one. She says why would anybody want our President to fail!

Also "Palin lacks the "leadership qualities" and "intellectual curiosity" to craft great policy. "

Not all Republicans are bad and not all Democrats are good. I have never voted one party but I do seem to vote mostly Democratic.

  2. As a die hard Favre fan I have to admit his time has come. I love your scenario with the Clay Maker. After all, I am first and foremost a Packer fan.

    You must have some usable photos in your repertoire for the mural. I seem to recall seeing some hot pepper photos.

    I think "paint by numbers" should be an SNL skit.
