"If trashpo has taught me anything its that every windblown street corner and cyclone fence is a veritable Dick Blick of free art materials."

I third the nomination!!!!!  Chappy Gordon, perhaps some words from you would help with Dkult programming team building. The constant threat of toxis is wearing, yet it keeps us on our toes.

I second that nomination Lynn!

Comment by Lynn Radford on August 24, 2012 at 7:22pm

Finally had some time to scroll through the last few days worth of posts...

I am relieved to know that the DKult Self Focus Magnifier arrived in one piece and immediately set to performing its duties!

Some confusion is expected until one becomes familiar with the device, its manner and idiosyncracies... Mere months did I spend exploring its potential and the extent of its powers has not been fully realized to date, explaning the reason for having entrusted it to the Elgin Vault. I suspect that it may well be a most effective weapon against the agents of Toxis...

For reasons far too numerous to mention, its existence requires complete secrecy and anonymity outside the population of DKult. A self-destruct feature was installed as a precautionary measure should anyone outside DKult attempt to harness its powers.

On to other business...

The mass landing of the Buttons has been an extraordinary event! Made all the more awe inspiring considering the obstacles overcome! My own pair arrived earlier in the week and I was delighted! I sincerely thank all involved parties, especially Stephanie for her persistance and commitment to the goal. She deserves an award for excellence, above and beyond the TrashPo-Litzer for which the group has been nominated for the buttons' creation. Would anyone like to second that nomination?

My final words are in support of FEET...

Dark Wall has exposed an attempt from Toxis to snake into our subconscious, encouraging us to hide our FEETS! The censorship of FEET cannot be tolerated! Our partners in upward mobility, they are to be revered and celebrated! Our best method to avoid Toxis, they are to be protected and well cared for! Reflexology and Hot Stone Massages for all! Adorn your FEET! Show your FEETS! I call for a DKult-wide Celebration of FEETS! And an end to this foolish Toxis attempt!

Dark Wall, you are a polymath! Is the brewer a friend?

Oh - the buttons are probably a better idea than the tats. The tats had some problems

Comment by De Villo Sloan on August 24, 2012 at 12:53am

Wow, authentic JMB Trashpo.

I pirated this pic from the internet. I think C. Merhl Bennett took it. It's Jim Leftwich (left) and John Bennett! I mean, geez, JMB actually has hung out with Jesus Jim. Probably got a lesson in how to make Trashpo. Kulters should add this to their portable shrines. No joke.

Dear Dkulter 462; as i was traveling around in Diane's vision from Lynns self focus magnifier about the garbage truck & tea kettle... i couldn't help thinking of the Dkult Psalm 555:1 "Thy buttons are like pomegranates, 613 seeds shall spread the wisdom of Elgin through thy ranks"... The trashPo buttons are like seeds, as you spread them they will lead those to the light of the smashed can and see  will see their reflection!

Best, "Chappy" Neil
