But I'd love to be wrong, if you want to link the source of that quote I'm happy to take a look.

I looked at the piece...I do find it boring as fudge, as I expected, but at least it's not just a famous face and an ink splash. At least someone took the two minutes in Photoshop to flip the girl's hand over.comountaingolf wrote:Smitty... you are absolutely correct.

I would even argue that this doesn't revive the original image, merely extend it. Neither it or Rockwell went anywhere, yet it isn't pervasive enough on its own to have become dead to the world -- based on Foodrap's quote I expected the print to show Che Guevara or something, something the world really has forgotten all about and is misunderstood. But instead the MBW print is saying the same damn thing Rockwell was. Which is why MBW sucks: he/they/it never says anything new.

Ya know, because public transportation there is almost impossible to come across...
between 1130 and 2am or so,(mind you im 37 and weigh 170 sometimes)then i dont remember anything else, someone said i was break dancing in a circle, someone else said
after the break dancing i started doing the worm...wtf?? like i said im 37 and aint no 2 beers gonna have me doing spins and fudge on the floor not something i would normally do or even repeat it if i did!, but im not saying what i did was ok, but had i known, i would not have drove and just went to sleep in the passenger seat like i always would and do.
But how do you explain to a judge a district attorney what have you to say, i think or i'm pretty sure someone slipped something in the drinks at the party i was at. You don't, you just deal with the hand you was dealt and make the best of it....
now im drymounted, im facing jail time and all that...they offered me 30days jail, they already seized my dads blazer and i have no recollection of the hours between 2am or so til 425am when i was removed from my vehicle at gunpoint and cuffed on the floor.
