If I had ever done that ... about half an hour later I would've been at the hospital explaining that I fell down the stairs.


"no...you see, I was dancing and fell face first into the vase"

This reminds of a interesting optical illusion on a vase, an adult would see a highly sexual scene of woman and a man making love. A child would on the other hand see 9 dolphins.

Yes, food + hunger + initially benign enclosures.
Then increasingly challenging vases with enticing food, cynically, the cat's reluctance to reach the food starves it, facilitating further attempts to enter the enclosure.

glad you liked it man.. the paper thing is really cool.
if you find anything siftworthy, be my guest. i know the guy vaguely (booked him once and see him around town) so i guess it's a self link.

unfortunately the enormous buildups he does are worthless after youtube compression. the live effect is crazy, your brain doesn't know what to lock onto.

That was really cool. I liked how he sequenced a track using really common items.

i think you would like this lithuanian guy:
http://www.myspace.com/tomasdobrovolskisthebrassglobe

he made an instrument out of a brass vase he dropped one day, the rest is history.
he uses loads of unconventional things, and a loop pedal, and his voice. he is obscure

unfortunately hard to find a well edited, well recorded video of him but worth searching.

Aww where's the bit where he dry humps the flower vase?

"Why would I have to DO anything with it? I've got plants I don't DO anything with either. And vases and swords, carvings, pictures on the wall, a couple big-ass candles and various other nicknacks and paddywhacks that I don't DO anything with either. So what? You live in a fuckin' refrigerator box or something?"

Ahh, but those things you have are nice to look at... this is a little 'eh' to look at, there are far cheaper things that look better than this to look at. So, you know... unless you can DO something with it, then it's a little cruddy as a visual piece to my mind.

It would be lame, but maybe they have an assistant who pulls cords connected to the flower pot, which release flowers. Or the vase has some clockwork in it and it's just a matter of good timing.

"A cheapo laser pointer, a solar panel and a clear vase filled with water are transformed into a music controller.

...

A slightly more complex version of using a water surface as a music controller featuring five lasers instead of just the one. Please note that this is a prototype version, and as such does not represent the variety of output for the finished thing."

I still disagree. Do I think violence is the solution to everything? Of course not. Do I think this new age mumbo jumbo "discipline" methods of "Time Out" "Quiet Time" or "Go to your room" work, HELL NO. I see it all the time. Kids going to restaurants and screaming and running around while the parents stare helplessly on with "Behave or you wont get any (insert something retarded to take away)". That may work, sadly none of these new age cuddle your kids parents ever follow through on that. They are too busy with their own crap to spend any time making sure their child isn't spoiled. They throw money at the problem hopeing to have a video game or a tv set or a new toy babysit the child so they wont have to.

Growing up I came from a tough love family. Bad grades? Spanked. Made a scene at a store crying I wanted something? Got home, spanked. Refused to eat something without trying it. Didn't eat anything at all.

Parents need to pay more attention to their children but they need to set boundaries with real consequances. If the child sees that "mom says don;t do it but I do it anyways nothing happens" they will NOT respect you, and that is a fact. Heck thanks to Reality TV now a days you can see the abominations people call children now - a - days.

Of course there is a very distinct line between beating a child and punishing one. I of course don't condone beating any child, nor any one hitting some one else's (the bus driver) I merely think that like fire teaching a child not to stick their hand on the stove, a simple smack when they are playing with the ming vase will keep the child at bay.

I of course don't have children, and I know my view on them will totally change once I do. I know no matter what I will love my children, but if they ever are disrespectful and obnoxious little pricks, you better believe the boot is going their way.

I saw the version they did on that british show but this guy includes a glass vase! Kind of cool.

eheheheheh! well that was just a mingh dynasty vase... ur done with that?
