    I don't know nothin' 'bout art but I know what I like

    Actually, I was an art major during my one attempt at post-secondary education so I do know a little about art. For instance, I know enough to know that although this may not be fine art, it sure as hell is a great example of some very cool folk art:

    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    A clear conscience is usually a sign of a bad memory

    Rust? I'd rather refer to it as patina au naturale.

    Stuff is gorgeous, so nicely finished. I've seen a lifetime's worth of abstract monoliths and scrapyard whimsy. This has grace and power and...actual habits aside, first impression is, it fits were it sits.
