I hope that the bonehead executive that came up with the idea got shltcanned.
He did, but then he got hired by Yakima.

nah, i spel just fine. but it sur must erk you a bit to feel the need to point it out. thats youre disorder i suppose. if i were truly worried about it, i'd actually make the effort of five extra steps it takes to use an apostrophe where a comma conveys my point sufficiently.
. Indeed, the forum could benefit from nominating a grammatical correction officer. Then, that individual could fritter away countless hours and days on such meaningless trivialities such as the difference between the phonetic versus proper spelling of words like your, you're, and yore. Perhaps we could offer that person a gold star to accentuate their harness in addition to the greetings, salutations and praise that undoubtedly would forever henceforth be bestowed upon them. Such grandeur as that certainly would not go unrewarded, in any circumstance.
or i cud jus keep to my merry ways. i hear theres naked people out there? painted in greens, blues, and sunburns? nice!

You should see my neighborhood.
We have Hans, who comes from Switzerland. His house has a huge cactus growing in his front yard. He decorated it with Christmas lights, and lights them every night. All year around.
Tom has an old school bus parked in his front yard. It's been there for twenty years that I know of.
My joint is ( finally ) surrounded with an ugly as hell chain-link fence ( it's not cheap to fence in five acres, which is why it took me ten years to get it done ). F*#king thieving avocado thieves pressed my decision.
Jarnigan's place has a commercial sized pigeon coop next to two of those jockey statues in front of his house - and a chain link fence. Unlike my fence, his is topped with barbed-wire.
Gerry Black Horse ( the Army Calvary division, not native American related ) has a large collection of concrete pigs in his front yard. Sometimes he sneaks one of them into my yard for a joke. Sometimes he flies his American Flag inverted.
Professor Jerry has a collection of gas pumps and gas station signs and other assorted rusted junk all over his front yard.
Juan and Cheryl live in a Buckminster Fuller-style Geodesic dome.
Mark and Suzannah's joint is built like an Itallian Villa, complete with a huge rock out front reading "Villa Sognare". Their "garage" is a huge blue-green steel building, big enough to house four of Tom's school busses.
Klausner's joint has a huge solar array built on steel stilts, right next to my driveway.
Dave Moore's place is somewhat normal, but he drives around the neighborhood in a golf cart with palm fronds for its roof, and a hula girl statuette on its dash.
And we all get along just fine, even though we all have different opinions of what's decoration and what isn't. We have a neighborhood get-together one Wednesday a month, where we all eat junk food and drink wine ( except for John and Glenna, they're Mormons, so they drink 7-Up and ginger ale at our parties ).
I don't see any problem with erecting your *art* at home, and letting your neighbors enjoy it. My neighbors don't either. Try it, you'll like it. If your neighbors have a problem, they'll just have to learn to live with it. Which they will.

This pretty much sums it up:
Frank Zappa - Concentration Moon
Concentration moon
Over the camp in the valley
Concentration moon
Wish I was back in the alley
With all of my friends,
Still running free:
Hair growing out
Every hole in me
American way
How did it start?
Thousands of creeps
Killed in the park
American way
Try and explain
Scab of a nation
Driven insane
Don't cry
Gotta go bye bye
Suddenly: die die
Cop kill a creep!
Pow pow pow
Concentration moon
Over the camp in the valley
Concentration moon
Wish I was back in the alley
With all of my friends,
Still running free:
Hair growing out
Every hole in me
American way
Threatened by us
Drag a few creeps
Away in a bus
American way
Prisoner: lock
Smash every creep
In the face with a rock
Don't cry
Gotta go bye bye
Suddenly: die die
Cop kill a creep!
Pow pow pow

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw this on my friend's car...
Gotta love how people won't wash their cars for weeks following the event.

You need to correct his spelling. "Knott" was misspelled.

Maybe Big Art is over-compensation for their small penises?
Works for the anti-gun crowd.

“transformation from a D.I.Y. pseudo-utopia to just another stupid ideas festival.”
What transformation?
These things are always"art" until the "wrong" crowd shows up.

The BurningMan live streaming cam is better than my
gold fish tank screen saver app.
After sundown the lights get pretty wild.
