judi, did anyone else send this in?
Posted by: SW | July 31, 2007 at 03:27 PM
Damn! I knew I shoulda done my "performance art" with mannequins first.
Did I say that out loud?
Posted by: Punkin Poo | July 31, 2007 at 03:28 PM
COOL! I will have to personally investigate this story. I will be driving up to Sarasota on Sat and my daughter's school is on Tamiami Trail.
Stevie, I didn't ;-)

Offended? I think I just found myself a new screensaver!!

"It's a terrible sight, especially when you got to walk the kids, you got to take the heads and turn them away."
Yeah, there's nothing more frightening to a child than a naked mannequin. Guaranteed to give 'em nightmares (or perhaps some other nocturnal phenomenon).

Punkin, with your girls...we're gonna need a bigger window.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 03:35 PM
Siouxie, are you talking about Gnu College?
Posted by: fivver | July 31, 2007 at 03:41 PM
Nope, fivver...Ringling School of Art & Deeeeesign! It's close to New College and right on Tam. Trail.
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 03:44 PM
I wuz gonna point out that this is where Sioette studies "art," but guess I'll get back to work instead.
Posted by: CJrun | July 31, 2007 at 03:54 PM
this calls for the old 'jewish lightning'. or maybe, that's what he is hoping for.
Posted by: wickedwitch | July 31, 2007 at 03:55 PM
Good school. Yep they're close. NC was my alma mater. *wonders if the pool is still clothing optional*
Posted by: fivver | July 31, 2007 at 03:56 PM
I dunno much about "art" ... but I know whut I like - Albert Einstein (NNR)
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | July 31, 2007 at 03:56 PM
CJ!! don't forget you're the only one allowed to "crash" the blogette "Hunt" party in Oct.
quittin' time!
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 04:00 PM
Sio's gone while I'm still at "work" (my boss may have his doubts!), but I now have 4 sites down there, so I'll probably be around. I'll join in the reindeer games, as long as I can drink cold beers and don't hafta try to cipher puzzles. I recently finished "Citizen Vince" by Jess Walter, obtained during our last adventure, the Book Fair, and would certainly recommend him to folks interested in new reads....
Posted by: CJrun | July 31, 2007 at 04:20 PM
CJ - I'll look into it as soon as I finish my current read - "Renovating Vintage TVs for Fun & Profit."
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 04:31 PM
Uh, quite a state ya got there,Dave.

(ratterfratter)
Trewe story: I successfully implanted a modern 24-inch into a pretty, old Trinotron oak cabinet, but I'm not happy with the picture quality, so my brother offered me a set he likes. We got it out of the (huge) box and the actual screen size was only 20-inch. So we packed it back up and were about to carry it out when I glimpsed the old Zenith, where it's being gently moved to the garage. My brother hung his head, seeing my expression. So now I have 5 televisions between the back door and the living room: Never Say Die!! (can you say 'bachelor'?)

I read about a hair-cutting place here in NJ where the stylists were in lingerie . . .
No, did NOT check it out . . .
Posted by: Mahatma Kane Jeeves | July 31, 2007 at 04:56 PM
I'm glad they make us wear that giant bib.
Posted by: CJrun | July 31, 2007 at 05:06 PM
CJ - the last time I said, "bachelor," one followed me home.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 05:11 PM
Hell, last time I said "bachelor" I became one.
But I only have 3 TVs.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 31, 2007 at 05:25 PM
I guess it's not how many you have, but how many are functional.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 05:32 PM
OH! Well...that's different then.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 31, 2007 at 05:36 PM
So, AandK, what would that number be? ;)
Posted by: Eleanor | July 31, 2007 at 06:06 PM
El, that would be one.
For now.
I ain't gonna be a bachelor forever.
Posted by: Alive and Kickin' | July 31, 2007 at 06:08 PM
Oh, puh-lease!
*eyeroll*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 06:12 PM
Have I just joined a mush-fest??
*eyes roll outta sockets*
hmmm...can I have the left-over bachelors, then... A&K??
Posted by: Siouxie | July 31, 2007 at 06:18 PM
Come on, Sarasotans, it's a mannequin, for crying out loud!
I mean, "It's a terrible sight, especially when you got to walk the kids, you got to take the heads and turn them away."
Sheesh.
CJ, good choice - Citizen Vince that is. And the Edgar Committee agreed with you.
Posted by: Jeff Meyerson | July 31, 2007 at 06:36 PM
bachelor bachelor bachelor
Posted by: crossgirl | July 31, 2007 at 07:03 PM
Ok, who helped A&K spell 'bachelor?'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 07:08 PM
I meant bacchanal.
Posted by: CJrun | July 31, 2007 at 07:28 PM
Bad-channel? On your tv?
btw - I looked up that veggie joke - most sites attributed it to Woody Allen, but I hope not.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | July 31, 2007 at 08:00 PM
"I meant bacch-anal."
Isn't that redundant, cj?
(And yes, I debated whether to post that or not. but I decided to err on the side of poor taste.)
