A friend has asked me to contibute to an art project next weekend. My
part - slogans, proverbs, aphorisms and such, to be "fortunes" in a
bunch of ping pong balls in one of his ridiculous, brilliant
installations. This time, Skrill Party, or something like that, at
the Hyde Park Art Center in Chicago.

Some of you have good sigs that I may steal. Or, you could send me
some one-liners.

The artist name is Nick Black, my real name is Michael Bulka, the
gallery sponsoring this deal is Joymore, I think at joymore.org. if
you need to verify anything.

The church is near, but the road is icy. The tavern is far, but I
will walk carefully.

OB Food - I was careful at the farmers' market today, bought just a
handful of weeds - dill, mint, cilantro, something the girl said was
"sorta like bok choy, but not really". Nothing at all like that, but
it will still be salad tonight. Waiting for my own weeds to come in.

Yes, thank you. Yours is one of the first I planned on taking. Along
with other favorites that I don't remember who to credit:

Do you want to measure or do you want to cook?

What if the Hokey Pokey really is what it is all about?

When I get my page or two together for my buddy I'll post it here.
Feel free to ignore it. Many years ago I was an art critic. I
contributed a piece to an art show where people were invited to take
home whatever they wanted. Mine was bologna sandwiches with laminated
Oscar Wilde bits. This thing might be similar.

That's something that I'm sure many thousands of people independently
thought up w/o ever having heard it elsewhere. I pushed Hokeypokeyism
back in high school, 1976, along with another fake religion, Smiling
Fishreligion. The advantages of both are clear. Neither requires
that you screw up your weekend by sticking a Sunday morning or
Saturday evening service into the middle of it. Neither has any kind
of moral code, so you don't have to have your fun constrained by
guilt. The advantage to Smiling Fishreligion is that all you had to
do was wear Smiling Fish pins, t-shirts, whatever, and you would be
instantly recognized by other Smiling Fishreligion adherents as being
someone unconstrained by archaic moral codes, but the advantage to ME
was that unlike Hokeypokeyism--which is based on a well known dance,
and hence, untrademarkable--Smiling Fishreligion could be trademarked,
and I could benefit monetarily from the sale of the Smiling Fish
regalia.

Yes, I've been crazy for several decades. I bet Mr. Kuthe remembers
Smiling Fish. We met in summer school after my 9th grade (his 10th
grade).

Here's one of my originals:

Rock'n Roll is about throwing the mainstream
culture's ideas of morality and standards of behavior in the dumpster.
In short, Rock'n Roll is lascivious, blasphemous, arrogant and
downright
sleazy. It is fantastic, escapist. Any rock that doesn't fit the
above
description is not Rock'n Roll. It is merely "rock music."

I used to follow with the discaimer:

"For your safety and protection, this sig. file has
been thoroughly tested on laboratory animals "

On a related note, I was looking to create a line of pre-graffiti'd
toilet partitions. Slogans/sayings should not be crude but should
be considered for the 18+ crowd.

Things like: "They paint these walls to stop my pen, but the
shithouse poet has struck again".

I would then have Wilsonart create a custom laminate based on the
design.

Incidentally, do you find that today's young people (30 yo and
younger) don't know how to keep a secret? It's very disconcerting.
It doesn't matter if it's a surprise event, a birthday present, a
coming event, or whatever. It doesn't matter if they're 30 or 13.
Nobody knows how to keep their mouth shut! I finally learned not to
tell anybody anything.

Yes but it's also that way with many in my age demographic. I'm not sure if
it's the Paul "Crocodile Dundee" Hogan philosophy, "You tell Wally, he tells
everyone in the village, and there ya go; no more secrets." or simply what
they're exposed to in everyday media. You can find out virtually anything
and everything, if you're clever, so there really are "No more secrets."

What you really learned is "It's not a secret anymore if you tell
someone else". It's not their responsibility to keep anything a
secret, it's yours. I've found that the best way to pass information
is to tell it to someone "in confidence". It's spreads like wildfire.

I hope my tombstone says "She had a few secrets!"
I relish keeping secrets

it's true. this is the major flaw i find with conspiracy theorists - they
assume that large numbers of people are keeping their mouths shut. it
seems unlikely.

We have a casual friend of whom I once said, his idea of a secret was
to tell one person at a time.
