Controversial Statements - Bring em - No weak sauce allowed! Homelessness: A Mercy Sex Ploy?

[Kevin]

Here is a place to blurt out a controversial statement and then argue for or against it or others ones.

I'll start:

I feel most performance art is crap.

[Félix]

I thought you were going to say something controversial.

[~Geektastic~]

I think most people, with the exception of performance artists and my college sculpture professor, would agree with you Kevin. I've done some performance pieces as part of a group, and it was fun but I definitely wouldn't call it profound (though possibly hilarious).

[Félix]

Performance art is like, "Hey everybody ... watch this!"

[~Geektastic~]

They can be pretty entertaining, as long as the artist isn't taking it too seriously, which is rare. It takes a certain type of personality to do it, combining elements of self-righteousness and exhibitionism that are generally unpleasant.

[ms.petra]

why is Obama having another televised speech? Is it really going to make a damn bit of difference? I will be watching NFL!

[Félix]

You mean because when he takes the Republican's ideas seriously and actually wants to implement them, they suddenly decide they are totally against them after all?

Odd that it would bother Kevin, then.

[Phil]

Boner Boehner is a fucking ass hat. His sidekick "tall skinny fuck-dork with glasses" is even worse. Who the fuck elects these motherfucking shitheels?

[Kevin]

what the heck does that mean phil?

[Phil]

Kevin "El Liso Grande" wrote: "what the heck does that mean phil?"

Which part?

[Jim]

My take is that Phil has a boner that he dresses up with glasses while he wears high heels that he stepped in something with.

[Kevin]

the "odd that it would bother kevin" part

[Kevin]

ah. gotcha. that's way i thought it was intended.

actually i would be more of a "hey ya'll watch this" sort of fellow and i would never call anything i do art.

[Michele]

performance art? should be here in NH watching the repub candidates on the campaign trail.

[Kevin]

after bun and phil's clarifying comments i now realize that it is possible i am a performance artist. i will now stand on the corner of north and ann streets and make a living bacon sculpture out of my self in the hot sun and then hand out free BLT's afterward.

[Mary]

now that I would like to see-extra mayo please

[Suefly]

My statement is: I regret for whom I voted for on the last election and wish I could have a do-over. This refers to both the national level and the 'ass hats' (love this expression!) that are running my state. There is too much of the finger pointing, vacationing and bickering going on while some of us are just sinking deeper into the muck.

Thank you...I feel better!

Meaning you will slice bacon out of your flesh? Might be a short performance. Also some food safety issues would arise...bacteria in the hot sun, etc.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I hate theater! Including Broadway musicals and everything else.

You're an asshole, Kevin. Everyone knows "all" performance art is crap.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Cellulite is overrated.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

No. You must not be reading the threads where I mention the things I love. Birds, bird songs, flowers, coffee, Timothy Geithner, clean underwear, good clam chowder.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I hate Rachel Maddow. Rachel Maddow is a fool.

[Phil]

I love Rachel Maddow enough for the both of us.

I hate theatre too!! Especially musicals! People keep buying me tickets for Phantom of the Opera- I really appreciate the thought, but it’s like torture. Most live productions I’ve been to were just uncomfortable.

[Félix]

Musicals blow.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Late night talk shows (Letterman, Leno, Craig, etc.) blow.

Midday talk shows (Whoopi, Barbara, etc.) blow.

Charlie Rose blows.

Tavis Smiley blows.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Jim Lehrer blows.

[Sally, la reina]

It makes me writhe when LG mentions clam chowder and clean underwear in the same breath.

[Félix]

Anderson Cooper blows.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Well, literally, yes.

[Sally, la reina]

I wish he'd blow up my skirt.

[Félix]

Sally wrote: "I wish he'd blow up my skirt."

He's not so inclined, I understand.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

I wish he'd blow up my skirt.

Hahaha....

[Scout]

Hey! I like Charlie Rose's interviews with artists, writers, actors, directors.

[Félix]

Scout wrote: "Hey! I like Charlie Rose's interviews with artists, writers, actors, directors."

Yeah but he sucks with anyone else.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

Larry wrote: ""

Everyone. Uniform sucking.

[Sally, la reina]

Hm. I like to forget about that inclination during my fantasies.

[Félix]

He sucks uniforms?

[Félix]

Sally wrote: "Hm. I like to forget about that inclination during my fantasies."

I understand how that works.

[Félix]

I have to say, right here and now, that there are times when I suspect that Scout and LG are the same person messing with our heads.

[Jammies]

Larry wrote: "He sucks uniforms?"

I think LG means consistent sucking.

[Félix]

Jammies throws cold water on another perfectly good laugh line.

[Lobstergirl, el principe]

No one knows what he sucks behind closed doors. All we can see is what happens around that circular table, where he sucks consistently.

[Félix]

Where's Anderson when we need him?

[Tom]

I've got to say, this thread isn't all that controversial. Except for the sucking clam chowder out of your underwear thing.

[Félix]

Gee and nobody grabbed the thing I said about Scout and LG being the same person.

[Scout]

Lg's claws are raised in outrage, I imagine.

[Félix]

We may never know.
