MUSEUM OF THE WEEK SO FAR
Key Quote: While our artists make every effort to insure accuracy, we cannot accept responsibility for the consequences of using fabric brain art as a guide for functional magnetic resonance imaging, trans-cranial magnetic stimulation, neruosurgery or single-neuron recording.

Yeah...I saw a similar warning posted on the Sistine Chapel. Art: Don't try it without a lawyer.

On the subject of crazy art, there was a sexpo (sex expo) in Jhb last week and one of the stars of the expo was an Australian who was painting portraits with his penis, apparently he was pretty good.

Was I the only one that initially read that as "Brain Fart"???
yes?
um..nevermind then. carry on.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:02 PM
This is your brain.
This is your brain on rugs.

Mot! I sent that article in a couple of weeks ago as an "update" to "Pricasso".
Did you go to the sexpo???
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:03 PM
Mot - posted here years ago, before he was 'big.'
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:03 PM
*snork* @ Annie!
and a simul to boot!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:04 PM
Boots? Where? Are they on sale?
slightly OT - I thought I'd be coy and google 'sagamore hotel webcam' - didn't find the hotel, but found lots of 'sagamores' - eeeeew. Bad nakey, bad. Time out.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:06 PM
Sooz, didn't know it was on until it was shown on TV last night. It was the same guy Pricasso, must have missed or forgotten the posts. I blame senile decay.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | October 08, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Whoa, cowgirl - double simul back-to-back with a half-gainer. I gotta sit down.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:07 PM
Annie, google "Sagamore Hotel & nude" photo and you'll get the story.
Sagamore article

The TV report of the Sexpo showed a very large range of very inventive and cutting edge BOBs.

*perk*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:15 PM
Siouxie - webcam=key word.
More info here but WARNING - lots 'o beige!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:16 PM
Annie, your post of 12:02 caused three of my co-workers to ask what the heck I was laughing at. I think that qualifies as a triple-*snork*
You should def. post that in the comments section of the museum site.
Posted by: Frequent Lurker | October 08, 2007 at 12:16 PM
Mot - linky no workie. Linky please. NOW.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Marjorie Taylor's brain looks a lot like an ice bag.

Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:17 PM
Thanks, FL - that was kind of you to say.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:20 PM
Siouxie - maybe Marjorie had a hangover. Or a slipped stitch.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:22 PM
This art is the result of woolly thinking.
Next thing you know, they'll be knitting their brows....
Posted by: lairbo | October 08, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Mot - Siouxie and I are still waiting patiently for your linky to the curiously innovative BOBs.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:24 PM
Oh, and *snork* @ AWB for "brain on rugs."
Posted by: lairbo | October 08, 2007 at 12:25 PM

"Mrs. Lindsay, I'm afraid I have bad news."
"Yes, Doctor?"
"I've looked at your MRI and you seem to have multiple brain tumors and ... Waitaminnit... those are snags in the yarn! Nurse Ratchett, has that cat been in here again?"
Posted by: Hammond Rye | October 08, 2007 at 12:30 PM
LMAO Hammie, Lairbo, Layzee & Meanie!
*ahem*
MOT??
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 12:34 PM
Gals, you can try www.mnet.co.za and click on Carte Blanche, they may have something about the sexpo.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | October 08, 2007 at 12:34 PM
*snork*@ "brain on rugs!"
Neuroeconomics... I must have missed that class. Must be something about 'a penny for your thoughts.'
Posted by: CJrun | October 08, 2007 at 12:36 PM
You know, I have been getting quite bored with quilting the same old geometric shapes. Why didn't *I* think of the brain motif?
Posted by: gjd | October 08, 2007 at 12:36 PM
I'm sorry mam, the brain has spongified, there is nothing we can do.

Horror Flick - "The Moths that Ate My Brain!"
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:40 PM
The dog ate my craftwork.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:41 PM
That last joke was just plain crewel.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:41 PM
The first one was pretty good, but don't you think the cerebral cortex should be more of a robin's egg than a baby blue?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:43 PM
Caffeine has finally kicked in - my brain is now featuring lots of glitter and more cowbell.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 12:45 PM
Mommie!!

(And Annie - the Aussie release of that film was titled I Ate the Moths that Ate My Brain.

Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | October 08, 2007 at 01:23 PM
Steve - ya gotta admit, though - them's some real nice frontal lobes.

Secure a perimeter - use your best S-twist worsted yarn.

Posted by: Texas | October 08, 2007 at 01:48 PM
Hey! You give that back!
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 08, 2007 at 01:48 PM
Siouxie - I don't know who told you that, but that's NOT how you make turkeys.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Sioxie. Such language ! This is a family blog.
Posted by: Texas | October 08, 2007 at 01:49 PM
Our Houston Astros play like a bunch of half baked turkeys, does that count ?
Posted by: Texas | October 08, 2007 at 01:50 PM
Exqueeze me, Tex...you're right.
So...you guys screwed the Native Americans too, eh?? Gotta be PC.

We threw the Indians out of Texas. They kept taking the best parking spots !
Posted by: Texas | October 08, 2007 at 01:54 PM
Big time Siou...big time. Apparently we managed to get the second largest land mass in the world for a couple dozen mirrors and some beads...
Posted by: Afkat | October 08, 2007 at 01:55 PM
My tribe, the Cuban Sioux, got shipped to a tiny island where we harvested sugar, tobacco and major league baseball players.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 08, 2007 at 02:02 PM
Yeah, well, we Irish were here wayyy before Columbus anyway. We were just hung over.
What was the topic again?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 08, 2007 at 02:19 PM
This art reminds me of those crocheted toilet paper roll covers that grandmas used to make, only smarter.
