photos of the day – the better half of the jackass action figure collection
So apparently our resident model-maker Nate Merritt took Trip Taylor’s suggestion to heart and has since cobbled together not only a Michelle Klepper figure but a Stephanie Hodge one as well. Consequently, Michelle shall now not only go down in jackass history as the woman credited for the phrase, “GET IN THE VAN!” but also for being “loose in the box.” Unfortunately, I can not lay claim to that doozy as I’m quoting it directly from a video that Nate made about “finding” the Michelle Klepper figurine in a store. No, make that fortunately, because if he knew Klepper like I knew Klepper then he never would’ve made that crack. A wolverine, that one, as Chris Pontius knows from firsthand brawling experience.

photo of the day
If I owned a big-time, big city modern art museum, I would blow this photo up to Attack of the 50-Foot Woman proportions and install it smack dab on the wall facing the lobby entrance. It’s an ass-load more fun than a drippy Pollock piece, punchier than a poppy Lichtenstein, deeper than the fourteen meditative shades of black found in the Rothko Chapel … everything about it is beautiful, abstract, primal, and filled with curious blanks to be filled in by the beholder. So behold! And feel free to come up with a title and scrawl it on the makeshift wall below. Because art is not ärt without interaction, interpretation, and intercourse (although the latter does historically tend to be of a mentally masturbatory nature).
Chances are if you aren\'t in some of these photos then you did not get to be there again when art scene revelers came out to toast the going away party for the Michael Jackson-inspired art show
