Gee,
That looks just like a piece of rope I pulled out of my lawnmower blade the other day. Look out eBay here I come!

As the artist of these fine objects, I am deeply offended! Your comments and ridicule have impaired my artistic vision, and I can no longer create such masterpieces. I hope you are happy!

I hope you did not really think I created such monsterpieces?
It is funny how much difference the correct punctuation makes.

No, but I thought it begged for further conversation.
Okay, I have to get back to work. I have to go arrest somebody, and no, I'm not kidding. Job security. John

I linked to some bonsai wire sculpture last month that was interesting, and I thought artistic. This looks gimmicky (dare I say the "K" word?), and doesnt look like much effort was put into it.

The "artist" has absolutely no concept of nature, trees, or bonsai, in fact, I would venture that they have no experience in wire scupture either.
I can not think of one single use for this thing. It is a waste of time, resources, and energy. However the real shame should go to anyone who actually purchases one. But as of this moment...no one was quite that foolish. Starting bid: US $2.00 Ended: Apr-21-04 04:38:27 PDT Start time: Apr-14-04 04:38:27 PDT History: 0 bids Price: US $5.00 |
