Lyrics

Daylight, oh, have you heard the one they call the riddley fiddley thee

He's the wind 'o the earth, charm of the bird, that tickeled the elephant's knee

Be my friend or foe and I will know the riddley fiddley thee

“It seems that the more I tried to make my life about the pursuit of art, the more money controlled my life: collecting unemployment insurance, the humiliation of borrowing money from friends and family, tossing and turning at night while trying to figure out how to pay the rent. To survive I had to work hard jobs and afterwards I’d feel too tired and too stressed to paint. It’s very hard to create under those circumstances. Creativity is a delicate process. Often times I wonder if I should have just pursued a career for the first half of my life, obtained some degree of financial security, and then transitioned into art.”

Portraits 

Brain Donnelly is a Toronto based artist with an interesting take on portraits. What I find to be uniquely interesting is his choice of work materials oil, bourbon, turpentine, hand sanitizer on canvas.

Lyrics

Told myself to dress up fancy Hem the heart and stitch with care Don't be singing like some Nancy Pure bravado, singular 

So when you call on me And when I see things through  The stars will shine ever brighter  and linger much longer on the horizon 

My darling Sue And that's something new

So, toast your alter eggo waffles  A maple syrup kinda dare..

Lyrics

Park your car  at your favorite bar  do some drinking  put off the thinking 

You earned the chance  to fake a dance  You swallowed a hat  With a rat - tat - tat 

A brass charade  at a drunk parade  Cats in the alley  your fortune is made

This gif I made is equally disgusting and hilarious. So, I'm sorry and you're welcome. 

Shout out to alwaystheascot for pointing out that this is what I look like when we video chat.

Lyrics

A curiosity, a question If a squid had both influence and fame If ink was only used with their discretion Politics, climate change An oil spill, a stock exchange Count your toes Pay what's owed Squid pro quo

"Portland Beard Menace Not Growing; It Only Seems So" (March 13th, 1966). In which the local paper of record wandered the streets looking for bearded men, interviewed the very few it found (since hippiedom arrived a bit late here), and then asked a couple of local professors to try to explain what the deal was with beards or the lack of beards. Dr. Walter G. Klopfer of Portland State (unbearded) had a theory about beards:

“Young men have an urgent need to prove themselves. In spite of their own uncertainty, they would like to give every appearance of independence and rugged manhood. In the early days of America, they could blaze trails and fight Indians… but what can they do today short of going to Viet Nam? "The beard has been a symbol of virility ever since the days of Samson. The student with a beard announces that he is not bound by traditions but is his own man. As he matures further, he may find other ways of asserting his manhood."

Dr. William Wiest of Reed College (bearded) disagreed, arguing that no blanket theory of beards (or non-beards) was possible and it was all just wild speculation.

“Unfortunately,” he said, “it is equally easy to argue that those men who SHAVE regularly are so badly disturbed psychologically that they can only be described as obsessed with ideas of suicide. Another common speculation has it that anyone who places razor to chin is indulging in a shocking sexual perversion.”
