A Blog for Grigori Antonin - Why No Pop (T)Art(s) in South Africa?

[cheryl penn]

Its been six months since I've heard from G.A.

I know now that his concern about our lack of soul food here in South Africa is real.  

What on EARTH are those??? DEF none here, nope, never seen any ever. Thats all about to change....

I think they're edible, like fish (see below)

I dont know why but I'm really laughing at this :-)))

Being a pop tartlet and all. 

Grigori's greatest  concern? Pop Art. Its not tribal.

 

Mail Art received 10th December 2010

Ok - my answer to this is - I HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY!

Nope, none, nada, nix, zero.

 

Mail Art received A LONG time ago! I confess I have been holding onto this one - being a Grigori newbee means I am not too certain of the references/innuendos Sir Grigori may be making. Anyone?

I had to wonder at Mother Teresa or was that an accident? Marie got the military!

Then there's the part about "Petroleum Oil for control of Orchard Pests" - dated 1967. Is that bull? At least I know it was issued by the US Dept of Mail Art! Grigori, when you call back - I'm taking the yes, let me know which pests you mean...

Hmmmm, pop tarts! In America, USA, all you have to do is put them in the toaster and POP! Up comes the tart ;-)

Well, that's American for a nice sweet chery breakfast or sweet treat. Scoop of ice on top is nice, too!

Then again for the Brit-English people..."tart" has a whole (or hole) other meaning?

Are we going to get into "meaning" again?

Great mail art, Grigori, ΠΟΛΥ ΩΡΑΙΟ!

You were the OFFICIAL Cherry Blossom  WWWAAAAY before me :-) - being the second wave of Cherries, I only got Cherry - not the surname :-( - :-)))

Yes, he's a smartie for sure - ALL of us pulled in - too clever for sure! I'm certain its intentional - the POP part - scary!!!

[Marie Wintzer]

Cherry flavor! :-))) this would be very funny if it were intentional. You think it was? He IS a smartie isn't he!!

Cheer for Cherry, keep us to yourself, I'm laughing too, actually.

[cheryl penn]

Marie did you notice it was CHERRY flavor? Wish I could get a look in at Grigori's thinking :-) - involving all of us somehow in this link - its VERY smart!

[Marie Wintzer]

I'm sometimes a popping tart, I see what he means :-))

[cheryl penn]

DE VILLO! MAN! You're clever!!! How could I EVER have known about a US brand of junk golfish? O googling I suppose. You've got an ENORMOUS variety of junk fook in the USA - wonder why he wants some from here?  O well, thanks for the finding.  I wonder if Grigori likes hard boiled sweets. Maybe I can wrap them in paper from the fish shop.

[De Villo Sloan]

Here are the findings on what this means

Bottom line: He wants you to mail him food.

He likes eating junk food. When Erni mailed him chocolate, GA wolfed it down and posted pictures of the mess. There is a brand of junkfood in the US called Goldfish (Pepperidge Farm brand) - they are little fish-shaped crackers. He has done a web search and found that Goldfish are not sold in South Africa. He is disappointed you cannot mail him Goldfish. Why doesn't he go to his local market and purchase some for himself? I have no idea. So I would suggest finding so junk food equivalent and mailing it to him.

ALERT: WE MIGHT HAVE ANOTHER MINNESOTA SITUATION. Code: Yellow

[cheryl penn]

Bifidus sent me a monkey thing :-))) AND another uncrackable code - number 2 in fact - whats going on? I am getting a puzzle phobia rash.

[De Villo Sloan]

It's an authentic Grigori Antonin - no monkey business on that front. But this is certainly a cryptic utterance from on high. I have forwarded this to the Institute's Research Division. We have some of the best code-crackers in the world. They're on it. Will report more when available. Watch for any unusual activity in the monkey packs.
