Guerrilla Gardening and The Man


I dig (pun) the idea of Guerrilla Gardening. There's actually a group that's active here in LA. With all the spare time I have (not), I'd love to get involved. But just take a look at the video to view the kind support of the public servants who took an interest in the activity. Good Job. Way to keep the public's best interests in mind. - Link

Free Range Whole Human

This kind of art tickles me. I just spent a long weekend in DC working on a project with my good friend at his excellent studio space. His set-up continues to make me more and more jealous as his cool tools and skills increase. Go Brook! Our collaborative project is nothing like this, but it reminds me of his art. Superb. - Link (via Random Good Stuff)

Who should have the Turd Twister?

  • Great for special occasion gifts: marriage/divorce, dating/breaking up, golf tourneys, gift for the boss (you get the picture).
  • Perfect for decade birthday parties: 20,30,40,50, etc.
  • When you don't want to give the same boring gifts... be original! - Link

To Generate Buzz, Clap Your Hands on the 'Net!

These guys started off at Conn. Why am I always the last one to hear about this stuff? "Over two weeks this past June, all of those forces mobilized to support a group called Clap Your Hands Say Yeah!, a five-piece rock combo based in New York and Philadelphia. It was one of scores of bands making music without the help of a record label, pressing CDs themselves and selling them at concerts and on the Internet." - Link (All Things Considered)

Joe Shit, The Rag Man

I heard a new expression today, and I absoluuuutely loves it. Besides being colorful and having an association to a specific sub-culture (always of interest to a writer/word-hound), it also suites my taste in mature and evolved humor (read infantile/scatological). "Joe Shit, The Rag Man" is apparently: a generic screw-up or an un-squared away Marine. - Link (devildogs.cc)
