If you like that, I can sell you a little log I sculpted using only my colon.

Uh, I think I'll pass Punkin...so to speak.

*wonders how much wood he would've chucked...*

Check back with me tomorrow morning, Jeff....I'm working on a sequel.

You see, the problem is the penis fell off his sculpture. Otherwise the logger would have been able to identify it as art.

It occurs to me that I have this same sculpture in my backyard.

Sometimes the hardest part of being an artist is keeping a straight face until the check clears.

A violation beyond belief! Even by this side angled view of the photo, one can clearly recognize the large cross carefully placed over the numerously manicured smaller "dead" timber. Reminiscent of how one might bury a dearly departed pet.
"A most elegantly assembled statement and promise of future funeral pyre!"
A sacrilegious act has occurred here!

This reminds me of the time that one my friends, Ernie wished to impress and express. He placed a bumper sticker on his car that said "I DID ART." The ridicule from our group of friends with - "Hey Ernie, who's Art?" Did not stop until he removed the sticker. LOL!

sorry, meant to say DIG ART
Posted by: OC Dolphin | November 30, 2010 at 11:55 AM
'Did' works even better, OCD.
Posted by: NotSherly | November 30, 2010 at 12:05 PM
Hey! I DID ART, too!

"Artie Chokes Two for a Dollar"
Punchline to a very bad joke.
Posted by: bonmot | November 30, 2010 at 12:30 PM
bon, are you sure it's not - "on" two for a...?

One man's art is another man's fuel source.

If your 'artwork' is mistaken for either a woodpile or trash, maybe it's only art in your eyes. I wonder if DaVinci or Michelangelo had this same problem?

Nursecindy -- The ceiling took a really long time, so I suspect there might have been a trade union involved.

Heck, I've been cutting wood on my wife's farm for months. There are piles of art all over the place. Even in the barn!
I've been burning the stuff!
What was I thinking?
Posted by: Steve | November 30, 2010 at 01:08 PM
sheesh
men -
always looking for more wood
Posted by: sandy | November 30, 2010 at 01:16 PM
In my version, OC, Artie was hired to do the choking, but got the wrong victim at first.

A classic case of beaver artist discrimination. When will they get the respect they deserve?
Posted by: hogsatemysister | November 30, 2010 at 03:02 PM
Beavers can do art? Is there anything a beaver can't do?!
Posted by: bonmot | November 30, 2010 at 03:51 PM
beavers chizzle, fo' shizzle

Picasso was misunderstood, too.
"That's not a face, it's a pile of wood".

Bon, as far as I know beavers can't change the oil in the minivan.
Posted by: Wingnut | November 30, 2010 at 05:14 PM
Maybe not directly, Wingnut, but I'm sure a savvy beaver could find a way to cause the oil to be changed.
