Bad Penny

[Sparky Kronkite]

A pledge............

I've decided I will never - (We'll see if I can maintain my own concept here.)......

Never, ever, ever - (Hah, again, we'll see. I have a hard time believing this myself.)

Never, ever - post another "New Thread." Never! Nevah!

I will only "use this one thread" here - the "Bad Penny" thread - as my "one & only" forum.

To be clear - not only will I not post New Threads - I will only Reply to other's Threads - here - on "My Thread."

The Bad Penny thread.

So hence forth, I will only type words for this Thread.

You can do whatever you wish with this information, this proclamation of mine - you can read, or not, from this thread. You can respond or not to this thread. Whatever you wish.

Ask me if I care.

But, I promise you, just like a Bad Penny - time, after time, after time - this thread, my thread - will pop to the top of the main board - page one.

Ad-nauseum. All Spark - all the time.

Yes, you got it. All the obnoxious, brilliant, stupid, ignorant and often profound, "Sparky Spew'ism's" - all right here on this one thread.

And with that - Uber Spark has spoken.

(Now I will see how long I can keep this pledge.)

Darn, Sparky. How in the heck are we going to have a dialogue about conceptual art, buried in the murk of posts on other subjects?!

Re: My Artist' thread of earlier today....

Yes CreamLady - I do agree.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Re: Same....

Yes Todd - that was art.

Yes Cream Woman.....

This is a challenge I will relish.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

I can not break the pledge Todd.

Not this early in the game.

The Bad Penny thread must piss off many, many people before I get bored with it......

This could take months and months.

 

[Siren]

Skeptical? hell yea

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yezzzz, you will a believe......

as you sicken to death of the Bad Penny thread.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

But Siren?

Why can't all the "arts" you mention - become as one - be presented as one?

Why the harsh boundries?

 

[Siren]

Because art is not just one big congolmeration

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

This is great - I recommend it to all.....

It's much easier too.....

You really only have to worry about one thread - your thread.

You can read what ever other threads you want - I'll probably stick with page one threads - and you only have to post on your own.

It's easier to find, less confusing - no scrolling through page after page - hunting for that thread you created 3 days ago on a subject that was too cool for the board to understand.

Ah - life is simple - when you make it that way.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

And......

If you do this and are really on a tear -

All you do is leave this thread open and refresh it - over and over again.

No need to go to the main board unless you want to read other's threads.

 

[Siren]

You are weird Sparky, really weird

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Siren - yer nuts.

Art can be anything conceptualized - audio, paint on canvas, metal, wood, glass, video - all in one piece.

It's easy for me to see.

 

[Siren]

Sparky ..yur nuttier

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Of course, during my absence.....

Bad Penny will probably sink. And when I return I will have to find it and bring it back up - but that's not so hard. After all - I'll only be searching for one thread.

Hell - I could just run a search and find it.

Also - whenever Bad Penny is hovering up toward the top of the board - it's a good bet I'll be active on the board.

You'll know when I'm here.

The Doctor is in>

Sparky

I'll trade you one bad penny for a nice, shiny dime!


I thought about this at one time, one thread for all my schtick and sillyness, but thought about it and said fuckit. They STILL don't get it, they won't get this. You enjoy the bruised the brick wall leaves on your forehead, don't you?

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Yes Ambro.....

Especially when it is a wall I have built myself.

Ya know - all this stuff out of context will be kind of cool - a verbal collage.

The first art form here on the board.

I am the creator.

In reply to TomGam on the Endless Name thread.

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

Siren?

People label art for ease of discussion. It does help to label things - all things.

However - when pure creativity is at hand - anything goes, anything blends. It may not necessarily be to everyone's taste but it will merge.

Asian influenced Blue Grass. Mid-Eastern Jazz. Paint on a 3-D sculpture. 3-D stones on a wall hung, framed peice of art.

However - when this happens - sometimes people, mostly simple minded people - have a hard time "hey - conceptualizing it." They just don't understand how you can put ham with whipped cream and donut soup.

So - they label - soups, meats, dairy foods and baked goods. Then they can handle it.

Other wise they just puke it up.

 

[Purple Haze]

Just passin' through, Spark. Can I get you something, smokes, can of soda, magazine?

 

[Siren]

Very true Sparky...

I will only "use this one thread" here - the "Bad Penny" thread - as my "one & only" forum.

To be clear - not only will I not post New Threads - I will only Reply to other's Threads - here - on "My Thread."

*lol* Good idea Sparkster. I might even pop in every now and then to see what's on your mind. I may even contribute every now and then but...

FUCK if I'm going to come in here to see what your responses are to other threads! *rotflmao* - I don't know about other people but I don't care about your opinion enough to go out of my way to COME TO YOU so you can enlighten me.

And... btw - I really don't mean this as any kind of SLAM against you. As I said - I may pop in to see what you're up to - its a pretty cool idea - but you're no wise man on the mountain for us true believers to come seeking wisdom from.

Sparky, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
