Why ya gotta be a jerk about the painting?

Posted by Matt | April 19, 2011 10:54 PM

I think it is a lovely painting, I especially like the TAN wallpaper in the back.

Well it's certainly flattering. He gave Win more hair than he actually has.

Regine looks like she's suffering from Bell's Palsy.

Our dogs (all breeds) love hummus and have never had any problems with it. I usually buy the original or make my own and neither one has peppers in it. They like theirs on french bread right along with the rest of the family. My dogs don't eat hummus often, but as I said before, we have had no problems with it.

this is news? seriously? yo while we're at it there's a girl who wants to give a drawing to they might be giants and a guy who needs to give this sculpture to michael franti and spearhead and this weird lady who needs to give a painting to overwhelming colorfast. p.s. www.deviantart.com

"Win"? "Regine"? Frankly, those names sound made up.

this is cool.

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 2:03 AM

I would have more chance of getting a Selectavision CED of "The Long Long Trailer" to They Might Be Giants than this freakish casualty of representational art would have of getting this painting to Win & Regine.

On the other hand, if they see this thread, don't they already get the gist? It'd save on postage costs from Pratt at the very least.

Posted by Crosseyed Sniper | April 20, 2011 2:39 AM

Talentless attention whore that of course went to Pratt. If you want to give something to a band wait outside the venue after a show, not rocket science.

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 5:22 AM

i was hoping that there was some instruction on decent art AND music at Pratt

guess not

I love when BV threads disolve into Seinfeld and Simpsons quotes.

The quote is from Art School Confidential, dicknose.
Get your cultural references right before making a fool of yourself next time.

"I look forward to many years of looking at the triangles" is a Seinfeld quote

HAHA who's the dicknose now?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:27 AM

I can't imagine that they would want this! Why do they have Children of the corn eyes and Hep C Jaundice skin color?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:34 AM

8:42, the first quote, is Art School Confidential.
And where is the Simpson's quote here?
Dicknose?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:37 AM

There is no simpsons quote on this thread, but just the other day another thread became a quote machine of "Lisa the Vegetarian"

Why so serious?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:39 AM

because I hate the Simpsons

You guys are goofballs, the Seinfeld quote was me, famous for my hilarious joke at 12:56, which is a reference to the line "I think the chair is a fantastic gift idea. But I never heard of this Joe Mayo. And frankly, it sounds made up." http://www.seinfeldscripts.com/TheReversePeephole.htm

I can do Simpsons all day though, for example "And this time YOU can be the Nacho Man!"

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:55 AM

Art School Confidential sucked. Who would quote that Zwigoff shit anyway?

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 10:59 AM

I can do Simpsons all day too! For example:

"You might even say... we just ate Üter... and he's in our stomachs right now!

....wait, scratch that last one."

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 11:00 AM

anyone who "hates" the simpsons (10:41) must have apsergers or some serious brain disorder.

they cannot be a fully-funtioning THINKING homosapien and hate the simpsons.

"anyone who does not agree with my opinions is an asshole"

Posted by Anonymous | April 20, 2011 11:28 AM

11:28 normally I would agree with you, but I agree there is something seriously wrong with someone if they cannot appreciate the Simpsons. Well, the first 10 seasons or so...

Either that, or they've just never seen the show and decided that they hate it. Which is sad really, it's some of the best writing in the history of television.
