Strange art forms

by

The magazine Time Out New York reported in September on the “artistic palettes” of the Sprinkle Brigade of artists who dress up dog droppings on New York City streets with glittering candy bits and colorful toothpicks, for “urban beautification.”

What I want to know is why they didn’t just scoop it up.

I don’t think someone stepping in beautified poop will be any more pleased than when they step in plain Jane poop.

British performance artist Ian Thorley, working on grants from several local councils, did a week’s stint on an Ashington street in October, stepping onto and off a doormat while wearing a badge identifying him as a government doormat tester.

Council members approved this? Didn’t they see the irony in their decision?






The misplaced Pole dancing kit

Well, this story is more about adolescent girls but a poles a pole …

This past October, Tesco Stores in Britain agreed that a kit that taught women how to pole dance – advertised on it’s website as something to “unleash the sex kitten inside”, with a garter and a suggestive DVD, was unsuitable to have been placed for sale in it’s Toy section. The fear was that it might have been appealing to adolescent girls. Tesco moved it to it’s physical fitness section.

Yeah … “Lets get physical, physical …”

Strange incidents

by

A woman in Waterville, Maine claimed on November 10th that she suspected that someone had sabotaged her washing machine.

She reported her suspicions to the police and officers went out to investigate. After a short investigation it was determined that an unbalanced load of laundry had cause the machine to shake.

Now isn’t that a good use of police services?

This man had a little bit more reason to report a burglary to the police in Muncie Indiana on November 4th. He’d returned from the hospital on that day and he found that his 36 inch Samsung TV was missing. It had been replaced with an RCA TV that happened to be missing it’s power cord.

Knick Nacks and other items had been placed around the new TV in an attempt to disguise the difference.

Hmmm I bet his thieves will turn out to be someone he knows or someone that’s been in his house before.

Naked Cello playing

by

Jesse Hale, a music major at Austin peay State university says that she’s “always had the desire to play the cello naked”.

She’s a member of the CJ boyd Sexxxtet of nude cellists who play their experimental chantlike songs in concert around the country.

Hale, who says she’s been playing naked since sixth grade, explained to Austin Peay’s newspaper in September that cellists “make full-body contact with their instrument,” so that “it just feels natural.”

Wow, I wonder what her father or brothers thought of her playing the cello naked in their home as a teenager?
