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

Erni has earned a permanent spot in my christmas anti-card list for posting Zappa lyrics. Zappa = god.

Thanks Diane, and the scannerpo came out of the trashcan. Looked down and there they were, with some kind of resonance.

Seems like we're seeing a tiny bit spunkier (even than usual!) Erni since the 9 to 5 ended.

You're right about that Lynn-and they sparked Sandra's (artlikeart) altered bird project. I always wonder if he is quite as miserable as his rants make him sound. I think his mail art  is his way of venting and hopefully feels better afterwards!

Simon Warren is an excellent example of the ranting mail artist...

emoticons to indicate sarcasm

Love the  lightbulb with cellophane scannerpo Nancy!

Erni, never heard of the IL Enema Bandit. Must have gotten stuck in his anal retentive stage-traumatic potty training incident. That poor town which such a legacy hanging over their heads

I don't remember a Martha Stuart Rant DVS, but I hope I spelled everything right. I tried to get the fluxus confessional going where everyone could unburden themselves of their rants, but it kind of flunked

This indeed is the glory of Trashpo and mail-art.

Claire, some of the great mail-artists were ranters. They wrote their rants and mailed them all over the world. Mail-art has probably produced more rants than any other artform.

So, everyone, rant on!

I think we all need to list sarcasm as a fluent language somewhere on our artist profiles! Might be helpful in cases like these. :P

KDJ, don't know where you procured these great pics, but the NRA squirrel rocks!

DK, I'm still ROTFL over the "limit (your) ability to fly" comment!!!

So much has transpired since I last read here... (4 pages of comments!) Can't walk away from the comp. (Nope, no smart phone here!) for a day, I miss too much!

Love Neil's innocent take and appreciation. "Rock my world," indeed! It reminds us all of his position here. He really can't get down and dirty, he has the distinction and responsibilty of being the one who has to give guidance and pull us out of the muck in which we find ourselves!

Erni's mailing to Dean was "Outta this world!" So classic! Everyone has to pop over to the Erni Bar Fan Club to read the roots of it! HilFreakin'Larious, to be sure! :D 

All of the rest has been purely entertaining on a day when I really needed to be entertained! THANK YOU one and all! Great writing abounds here, but the queens are obvious!

Personally, I think we all need to make three trashpo acorns apiece to send to Diane for inclusion in her installation, to add a little interest if nothing else! Whatever I can do, DK, count me in! When will your exhibit take place, have they specified a date?

Rock on, Everyone! Emoticons Rule! :D :P :/ :( :) :D
