The Crazy Rants of Samantha Burns

But $ee, if you were truly $mart with number$, you'd go ahead and $ell that $tuff a$ art.

1+1=4-stupid=2
See I just dund some art.

Exactly, Jeff H.

Macbros - sell it, make millions

Thank you for finding this! I was just talking about this stuff...all it takes is one person to buy the number 684 on canvas and other people will follow. dumb.

Thanks for the link. If you compared the numbers to the formulas, I would pick the formulas.

jocelyn - ya, I think I'll start writing the alphabet, perhaps I can sell two at a time, if someone were smart enough to buy the "f" and the "u" together. Or, perhaps someone will think to buy the "i", "r", and "s", then go home and burn them, lol.

Michele - ya, if I had to, I'd go with the formula, too.

That's about like the Natioanl Endowment for the Arts grant for a poem which was

LIGHGHGHT

No that wasn't the title that was the whole poem

Note it has been awhile since I read about this so I may have the number of GHs in it off.

As I recall a Congressman objected and was told by the Commitee that he just did not UNDERSTAND poetry.

Yes I was wrong it was Lighght

How much would you pay to read the poem ‘lighght?’ This is not a typo, nor is it the title of the work. The entire poem is ‘lighght,’ and the "artist" received a $1,500 grant for it.

It's a good thing I checked my version might have cost the taxpayer 2 grand instead of 1500

The NEA has been more patronizing than patron to the towns and villages of Middle America. An example: in 1969 NEA grantee George Plimpton, editor of the American Literary Anthology/2, confounded observers by paying $1,500 for a poem by Aram Saroyan consisting of the single misspelled word, "lighght."

When an assistant to an Iowa congressman asked Plimpton what Saroyan's poem meant, the editor replied, "You are from the Midwest. You are culturally deprived, so you would not understand it anyway."(54) We are subsidizing superciliousness; taxpayers are mulcted and then mocked, and if they complain, it is "good old-fashioned American small town hysteria,"(55) in one NEA staffer's phrase.

PS thanks for the mental jog I am going to use the above for a post on

Why our educational system keeps going down hill while we have tripled funding.
