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

Thank you Neil for your support in these very difficult times!  When does the job at DKult start?  It's likely that I will not have to give notice ...

Comment by Neil Gordon on April 17, 2012 at 4:03pm

Dean, very extensive note taking,your the the best one for the job at DKULT, Sorry to hear about the security guards, sounds like they were very insecure!

Comment by Dean aka Artist in Seine on April 17, 2012 at 7:35am

Sorry, I see now that the text below is very difficult to read, so here it is in true colours.  This is the photo I sent to DVS which is a bit different than DK's.

I have an end of quarter meeting on Monday, and I’m not taking any chances!
Poor results for the first quarter of 2012.  We had a meeting on Monday to come up with new ideas to shake up the company.  I was covering all my bases by wearing my piece of the Eglin Shroud to the big meeting.
  So the Monday morning meeting started out very civilized with coffee, orange juice and croissants.  People where chatting about the weekend. Then the CEO came in and the room went silent.  For an hour each department presented their ideas of cutting costs, efficiency and ways to increase profits.  I remained with my head down and unusually quiet.  An hour and a half passed and I looked up a noticed that the CEO was staring at my piece of the Eglin Shroud which I had clipped on to my suit jacket.
   And then it happen, the CEO took the floor and said, « Dean, what ideas do you have and what is that rag you are wearing on your suit jacket? »
I calmly explained that it wasn’t a rag, but a piece of the Eglin Shroud.  I then told the story of the featherless, three-legged chickens with heads like ants.  How they drank the water that was dripping from the recently washed shroud and how they then transformed into gorgeous swans.
I looked around the conference table and everyone seemed to be interested.  Many of them were in a glaze of amazement and had their mouths open.
I then continued to explain that my idea is for our company was to track down and purchase every piece of the Eglin Shroud it could find.  I said that if the Eglin Shroud did that for those sickly chickens, then imagine what it could do for this company.  And besides, it legally could be an asset that would not need to be deprecated on a bell curve.
By this time I had been wearing the Shroud for a little over two hours and I can not clearly remember what happen next.  However, my co-workers tell me that I had started pounding on the table with fist yelling; « We need to buy pieces of the Eglin Shroud »    Apparently someone had then called for security, but before they arrived, my co-workers say that somehow I had my hands around the CEO’s neck and was screaming; « We need to buy pieces of the Eglin Shroud, it’s the only way this company will survive. »
End of story

If you remember, last week I wrote that De Villo Sloan had kindly sent me my very own piece of the Elgin Shroud.  I had pledged to use it to my advantage as soon as I could on Monday morning. Maybe I underestimated its powers:

Sad and ironic that they posted a lost dog as found, when the found dog is really still lost. Wonder if he/she has a microship? good find DW. I received a very fascinating series in two parts from Dean Marks concerning the shroud shreds. They are crossing into corporate America!

The Trashdollars are backed by fool's gold and pop tabs and they work like forever stamps-regardless of the economy, their value stays the same...zero....

Comment by De Villo Sloan on April 13, 2012 at 6:26pm

Trash dollars (trash dolls) are circulating in the D-Kits. Some people should have them. Become a D-Kapitalist! Print trash dolls (sound familiar?) I thought KDJ was the CFO (Chief Financial Officer). Yes, KDJ, you are on the trash doll:
