Deciphering the Dark Secrets of Codex Seraphinianus

newtboy says...

*quality weirdness
It reminds me of a carving I made in high school. When pressed to explain what it was, I described it as an impressionistic interpretation of an invisible dog hiding behind a tree....without the tree.

christian woman is really upset with you

"God's word is truth", so you better go kill yourself for wearing that cotton/poly blend bitch. That's much much clearer in the bible than the minor anti-gay stuff.

"Christians follow Christ" ...except when he said things like 'don't judge other people', 'be inclusive, not exclusionary', 'love your neighbor as yourself', 'money is the root of all evil', 'don't make or own any statues or sculptures that aren't impressionist...etc.

Russell Brand on MSNBC Mocking Media

MichaelL says...

Meh... Pretty sure that everybody's panties stay dry here... The announcers don't know what to make of him, Brand keeps trying unsuccessfully to get control of the situation...
Brand's 'manic' stick is annoying in the way that Robin Williams is when he's 'on'. I'll bet some British impressionists do a good job of him though...

Im used to the monkey for years
I like granny and saw her granny act the past 3 years
she's really hilarious
she was also with granny on episode of QI last year
this is hilarious

She was not funny on that Qi episode but I think it's because the format doesn't really call for ventriloquism.

Nothing really calls for ventriloquism, it's just not on.


She pulls it off. Just think of the poor freaks who try to make it as mimes or impressionists. Takes unique talent to keep ventriloquism fresh. Plus she's always cute!

So I guess I should just ask point blank, are you saying that my overall premise is wrong, and that there is no such thing as "idle rich"?

And just to make myself explicit, where I was really gonna go with the argument was that there's a fundamental problem with castigating "idleness" and valorizing "work", especially if your definition of "idle" is "not receiving any income" and "work" as "receiving income from any source".

Paris Hilton is an awesome springboard from the usual "welfare queens vs. captains of industry" conversation into something a little more grounded in reality, since both welfare queens and captains of industry are just figments of our imagination. The real people we lump into those categories never live up to those caricatures.

No, and in fact the people I can think of who lived off their inheritances tend to have done something notable as well, or I probably wouldn't have heard of them (like the impressionist painter Paul Cezanne).

When I tried a google search for more candidates, the first hit was from ancient Greece! Apollodorus, son of Pasion the slave...

Do you have a better example in mind? I mostly use her as my go-to example because she's a name people will recognize, associate with being ridiculously rich, has a reputation for having a crap work ethic, and a reputation for being completely out of touch with how normal people live.

I have more nuanced reasons for picking her as well, but that's really more of a springboard into a discussion about what "work ethic" really means...
