  1. Hey y'all. We are now 4runner people. 2012, still fun to drive. It gets quieter the faster I go so I've got to learn to watch that or I'll get tickets. Right now it's packed full of gear for a jaunt from Birmingham to a Chattanooga art show. Gonna be my new work horse so my wife doesn't get her car stolen.
  2. Got accepted in 3 more Atlanta shows in Sep, Oct, and Nov. Seriously need some painting elves because most of my big paintings are gone. I have started on 3 more big paintings but I probably need to do 12 more and my brain has not accepted that yet. Big two-day show in downtown Bham this weekend but I am not in it because I was a disorganized wuss. But all is not lost-- I stuffed a new (to us) 4runner full of art gear and shortly will roll up to Chattanooga for their Odd Market show. Hopefully turning a profit and checking Tennessee off the Imperial Conquest list.
  3. Stopped by my coin dude yesterday. He's kinda weirded out by the numbers, people selling but nobody buying the dips. Me personally I got no reason to sell just to sell, because what would I spend it on? And I can't see buying a $41 oz of silver. Sure it might go up, hell it'll probably go up. But any number of events might knock the legs out from under it. I am just not feeling it.
  4. The one with bananas on the cover, mit Niko. I always listen to "Shiny shiny, shiny boots of leather, whiplash girl-child of the night." Like, duh. Yeah, early this year multiple doctors were setting up opposing stacks of pills for me, each stack pushing back on what the other stack was causing. Like foot-to-the-floor on the gas while also stomping the brakes. Me, being a student of the Keith Richards school of drugs, analyzed what each did and started peeling back each stack, first by lowering doses, all the while telling the doctors, and then with their approval, dropping them one-by-one as my numbers improved. I would not have tried this the first couple of years of treatment. At this point they're probably surprised I'm not dead, so I get privileges.
  5. I know the feeling. Apparently I have some occasional use for insulin, but insulin is the main cause of wooziness if it drops me too far.
  6. I threw out all my sex toys after I attached the flexible shower head that on its narrowest setting feels like Aqua Man ramming a bottlebrush up your ass. I feel like I already mentioned this once.
  7. Endocrinologist told me that [whatever the technical name is for the shit blood sugar does, don't ask me because I just listen to him like an Irish Setter Puppy with no idea of words but cueing in on voice and emotions] is so much better that he wonders if I even need insulin anymore. So I fessed up that I had mostly skipped it the past month because blood sugar wasn't all that high. On hearing that, he for sure told me to keep skipping it at least 3 more weeks to see if my body would keep getting better on its own. Except that morning before the doctor visit, I had put on a scratchy Velvet Underground record and hunched on a mattress in the basement to shoot up a dose of insulin. A couple months ago, it would have been a somewhat light dose. But taken now, after none for a month? 30 minutes after I left the office, I crashed. Blurry vision, Loopiness. I lined my car up on a McDonalds like a wounded Kamikaze pilot aiming at a battleship, staggered in, incoherent, and had a Bless Your Heart Child cashier make up a basic order for me of essential McDonaldland foods. French fries save lives. So yeah, maybe no more insulin for a while.
  8. Probably secret Mexicans. If they are really white, most definitely Mexican Telenovela stars. DEPORT THEM ALL. Except for her. And her. And maybe that one over there.
  9. My favorite, @InkaUtexas, a rare one In FOURteen hundred and ninety two, a native of the galleys I MET him in the streets of Spain, sellin hot tamales He said the world was round-o, he said it could it could be found-o That HYpothetical calculating son of a bitch Columbo He MARCHED right up to the Queen of Spain demanding ships and cargo The QUEEN said don't ever come back if you don't bring back Chicago He said the world was round-o etc. The QUEEN gave Columbus three ships, one a triple-decker The QUEEN waved her handkerchief, Columbus waved his pecker etc etc
  10. Alsatian dialect from Castro. Elch out front shoulda told you.
  11. I was selling Grit newspaper from the basket of my bicycle. I would sub-contract a couple of my friends to sell my extras for part of the profit. Then a couple weeks later, they started getting their own papers from the company, as if they were my equals or some shit. I shouda ridden up alongside them and jabbed a stick through the spokes, let em enjoy some Ben Hur chariot race action. Instead, I held it IN, maaaan. Embezzled my Grit sales and ignored the shame-letters, or tried to. $16.10 is burned on my soul. I'd give anything to go back in time, with extra papers, hit all their houses early. If they had a problem? I'm a big giant man now, and they'd still be little kids. Bring it.
  12. Tumor shrinking does not suck.
  13. I heard that we sent our best troops up into Belgium while failing to guard the Ardennes.
  14. Bein a nasty bastid is a job, not a hobby.
  15. Today was the longest brain MRI I've laid through yet, but all I've got is a speck in a different spot that showed up months ago. Still much smaller than the one I had zapped last year. Doc said we could watch it or zap it, my choice. I said let's just watch it for now, let it think it has a future, wait until we see the whites of its eyes.
  16. They're expressing their feelings or some shit.
  17. I heard he calls the lab tech "mama" who decanted him in the lab.
  18. Good scans. Main tumor went from 1.9cm across to 1.1. Translating that into a 3D spherical shape, it's lost 4/5 of its mass over 6 months. Coach has me on a stout dose of Welireg but she says I'm bearing up well and as you can see, it works. Worst side effect of it is low oxygen levels, and I did drop a few points for a while, but today I hit 100% and I am one arrogant ruddy little bastid with a punchable face.
  19. I don't, but Mrs. Canecutter had me install this flexible shower head that lets you reach anywhere from any angle, and on the narrowest setting it's like having Aquaman ram a bottle brush up your ass. Welp, off to take a shower.
  20. No bidet?
  21. There are a fair amount of galleries and shows, I just never thought of it as higher per capita than anywhere else.
  22. Kicking myself that I didn't do Atlanta art shows before this past weekend. These are MY PEOPLE and they cleaned me out of several categories, most notably the largest paintings. Even after entry fees and hotel, the profit equalled three good shows. My artist's name tag has a dozen shows the Atlanta group runs listed on the back. When I fully recover I am going to apply for all of them for the coming year, just build the schedule around them, fill in with Birmingham or what have you. Maybe get something going in Nashville. I was surprised that people would hear I was from Birmingham and nod "Oh yeah, that's a good art town." Did not see that coming. Gotta go paint some stuff.
  23. What kind you need? I'm bored and in the mood to wander forsaken back streets in 19th century garb while feverishly clutching butcher's tools.
