Is meh performance art?
5I'm not sure if this has been kicked around yet, but I'm starting to wonder if @snapster isn't really in this for the money. He's just a performance artist with some subtle message (or, hell, maybe just some imponderable questions) about commerce, society, the human spirit, the nature of junk, language, etc.
Either way, that's how I'm taking it.

I prefer to take it wearing trip glasses and carrying a liberal supply of gin. In my experience, performance art always makes more sense that way.
@joelmw
you are reading way too far into these guys. mediocre is never an artists motto. unless its some ironic avant-garde.
@dayne There's certainly nothing ironic around here.
@dayne @joelmw "ironic avant-garde" seems to be fit the whole meh experience. I just hope it's economically sustainable, because it's been a lot of fun so far.
For the record--sheesh, that one has to explain these things--I'm half (give or take) kidding. I'm just saying that it works. It amuses me to think of it this way. And, hell, why the fuck not?
"Amuses" is the key word. I'm having fun. We have fun here. It's what we do. It's the kool-aid; drink it. :-D
@joelmw you'd probably feel like you were even more right on if you saw some of the profit margins on our sales.
@JonT Yeah, y'all are having too goddamned much fun and bringing too much joy to the world to be a viable business. :-) I mean, not really, and I hope it works out, but, yaknow, looking across the wasteland of American Capitalism I don't like what I see--and you thankfully don't fit.
I love this guy.
