I saw them open for the Beastie Boys.

Beware of Dave is good advice.

[Alkali Bill]

At this point, I'm beginning to question this Turner Prize business.

jackson PILLOCK?

artistes fall into the whack category sometimes.

The Turner Prize hopefuls are notorious for this sort of thing. On the rare occasions when I think about them at all, I tend to lump (pun intended, I suppose) the artists into three groups: a) arrested development victims who haven't gotten over their toddlerhood fascination with bodily functions (25%); b) cynical types who can't think of anything advanced enough to shock their peers in the art world, so they just aim for the sensibilities of the people they consider the "out group;" (74.5%) and c) idiots, morons, imbeciles, half-wits, and true geniuses (.5%).

I don't see any of the c) category in this group.

This sculpture of poo is a little too erect I think for poo.

[mazar larry]

That sculpture is either timeless waste or a waste of time.

[Clankie]

A Nobel Peace Prize seems more appropriate.

a) arrested development victims who haven't gotten over their toddlerhood fascination with bodily functions (25%). Sounds like Dave.

[Loudmouth]

He won't do any better than turd place.

Alright Dum Bass watch it. I ran into a woman at the bookstore this weekend who made a disparaging remark about our Dave. She'll be out of the hospital by Friday. Let's just say I corrected her.

Now, now ... let's not have any religious violence.
