Sweet drawing

It's my first night teaching, right, and I'm substitute lecturing on the history of video art. A couple people fell asleep, one kid wandered off for about an hour or so, understandable. At the end of the night, I'm tidying up the room when I come across this gem:




As far as I can tell, dude has some interesting post-apocalyptic fantasy involving can-o-beans and a gas mask. What?

Tilt-A-Whirl!

We're rocking out.
The Carny is over it.

once you pop...


today, this came to my attention:

http://www.pringles.com/en_US/Pages/Xtreme.aspx?Flavor=2

yes, indeed, pringles now makes "extreme screamin' dill pickle" flavored chips. i like potato chips. i like a strong dill pickle. but together?

i'd love to have a conversation with the guy (yes, guy) who invented this. how many man hours did it take to bring this artificially flavored pickled cucumber on a potato chip to perfection? and just think of the other important, productive things that could have been done with those hours.

maybe i'm getting ahead of myself. more simply, i'd love to ask this guy what the inspiration was behind creating these chips. maybe it was his grandfather's dying wish to see these produced and marketed by pringles. maybe it was the result of a stimulating conversation that was had while smoking a joint (more likely). maybe pringles overheard that lays had this recipe in the works and assigned the project to some guy in order to get it out on the market before lays. but whatever the inspiration was, these extreme screamin' dill pickle pringles are out there, and i hope that guy is proud.

that guy made it.
