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

Thanks, KDJ. I do my best, when I'm awake. The number of claims coming in is astronomical. There is barely time to check the mailbox anymore. And brush hair? Forget it.

Don't tell Neil this, but you know I LOVE trash. Trash-taker-outer is like one step beneath queen. Prince Machiavelli was helping me in this quest, but now you've gone and outsmarted him. 

If you NEED me in claims, I will fulfill my duties for the DKult queendom.

It's a reverse hierarchy at DKult--the trash people are at the top and the doctors, etc. are at the bottom. It's a way to level the humility playing field. The trash people's job is sacred as we see it as them taking out the trash literally, spiritually, emotionally, and intellectually. We NEED you in claims NBS--I'm sending back your resignation letter!!!

Comment by Nancy Bell Scott on January 13, 2012 at 9:11pm

Neil, would you like to manage the Claims Dept? It's a great job, never a dull moment, and too topnotch for humble folk like me. I could do the measly no-good job of taking out the trash because, well, I'm just that humble.

Comment by Neil Gordon on January 13, 2012 at 8:45pm

Well... i could take out the trash......or be the booking agent for the DKult 2012 World Tour!

Comment by DKeys on January 13, 2012 at 8:17pm

I'll send you a welcome packet shortly. We already had you signed up, but it's so good now that we actually have your consent. Welcome aboard. Whatever job you want, it's yours.

Comment by Neil Gordon on January 13, 2012 at 7:45pm

 I would LOVE to work for DKult! Where do i sign???????

Comment by DKeys on January 13, 2012 at 12:49pm

Life is always getting in the way of uninterrupted art time isn't it?  It's okay-I send you a mental note here and there just to say hi and you always answer back:)

DKult is in the process of sending out their welcome packets. I'd really like you to come work for us--we have very mediocre office coffee!

Comment by Neil Gordon on January 13, 2012 at 12:21am

World-famous Ralph, the swimming pig, performs a perfect swine dive in the world’s only Submarine Theatre, Aquarena Springs. Ralph was a Texas institution.  Actually, hundreds of pigs were used over the decades, since they quickly became too big to swim. In 2008 it was announced that San Marcos, Texas’ Aquarena Center, formerly a hilarious tourist trap called Aquarena Springs, will be bulldozed, with the land being restored to turn-of-the-previous-century condition.
