Ones and Zeros: Porta-Art

Porta-Art

July 31, 2003	Music
a perfectly cromulent blog makes a lovely cheap joke at the expense of the Rolling Stones over the porta-zone pictured at right. And yes, it's better than the Metamucil joke one expects considering the Stones status as, shall we say, "Elder Statesmen" of Rock? The concert was supposed to attract close to half a million fans of the Rolling Stones and 15 other acts. I, however, saw the vast array of colored outbuildings and wondered if something like this might be the final layout for the porta-potties... Yeah, it would have been funnier before the concert. But, hey, art takes time and so did this.

Wow, Michael, nice job! Can you put this talent on your resume?

Talent like this speaks for itself. My job is to suppress it until after I'm hired.

"Do you have any hobbies, Mr. Croft?"

"Why yes, I dabble in large-scale artistic porta-potty installations. The effect I go for is somewhere between Christo and Andy Warhol, but with toilets."

Hmm, I can think I can use the same joke with regard to both Christo and Warhol's work.

"between Christo and Andy Warhol, but with toilets"

Can we make this the tagline to your blog?
