Wow, what a crazy lady. But we've all got to have some crazies in our life, eh? Taken from the article:

The art world is no stranger to controversy. A transvestite potter beat the creators of a pair of bronze sex dolls to land Britain's Turner art prize in 2003. A pickled sheep and a Virgin Mary figure made of elephant dung have also won the prize.
Eh hum. I hope I don't insult anyone here, but contemporary artists have issues.

True story.

Once I was hunting white fronted geese and a big one flew by and I stood up and fired a round from my trusty 10 gauge double barrel (using 3XBB shot), an off brand old Spanish model gun. Down it came with a thud and a few moments passed and then the mate flew around in a circle calling with a slow kerhonk, kerhonk, kerhonk. I felt so bad, like "what had I done?" and I stood ther alone in the field with my gun, my dog and the dead goose, and I was so sad for this now widowed bird. So it all came naturally and I aimed and pulled the rear trigger and sunk that one too. No more sadness.

Made a damn good dinner out of the whole mess.

Or doesn't have any. It's difficult to understand the behavior of hoplopobes sometimes. But there has been some insightful theories.

"I bet if everyone owned a pistol, they'd think twice before trying to make a gun out of someone's skin," is what I think she meant to say.

English can be a complicated language for foreign speakers to get their tenses and possesives, articles and pronouns all sorted out...

The article is missing, Anyone who read it care to weigh in on whether the reason for the surgery was the gun or whether the artist just decided to do something "useful" with the waste from a tummy tuck?

Damifino. :confused:

I'm thinkin' that may have the opposite effect on me.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking.... if I go to all that trouble I'm gonna use the mf'er - a lot. Of course, since it's tiny and doesn't actually work, what difference does it make if I use it or not?

Griff 05-05-2006 07:06 PM

I think she meant that if everyone had a pistol nobody would try to make stuff from their skin.
