When my 3 Series got backed into in a parking lot the guy had Geico. They sent me to the 2nd best body shop in OKC. The paint and body work was incredible, you couldn't even tell it had ever been messed up. However, I had to take it back because the door seal was installed improperly and leaked, and the electric mirror adjustment no longer worked. It was all fixed the 2nd time, but there was that 2nd trip.

When I was pulling out to make a left turn on a 4 lane road an idiot in a Suburban speeding through traffic talking on his cell phone changed lanes from behind a car in the right lane to hit my drivers side quarter panel. Since I was pulling into traffic it was my fault.

My Farmers insurance sent me to the dealer body shop. They did a good job, but...It took longer because they had to order the computers that control everything on the are located in the drivers rear quarter panel. And I had to take it back because the on-star wasn't functioning after the repair. They had neglected to plug in the antenna.

Are you sure you couldn't just get drunk, throw up on a canvas, smear some **** on it and get the same effect for a lot less money and have fun doing it?

Its by a favorite artist of mine. He's kind of obscure and prices are still reasonable because he's still alive.

Yeah, my uncle was a modern impressionist artist like that. Talked to him in ernest a few times. Seems all that is really important to sell art is colors people like, your credentials (he was Senior Art Professor at Oklahoma University), and the story about the piece, it's got to have an interesting story to put on the gallery card and in the sales literature.

He used to pour the chemicals that make foam in a 2x4 frame over a camp fire and toss stuff in to make it more interesting while the foam expands and bubbles. Once hardened he would paint and stain it.

I know it was all BS, because when I was four he had me help toss stuff in the foam. I threw in rocks, leaves, some rollie pollies, and a live cicada, it crawled around making tracks before it died embedded in the foam. He painted the piece zebra stripes and called it The Zoo.

Two of them came out looking almost identical, he bolted them together and call it Stereo.

This guy covers the range of surrealism and abstraction and has pieces in some major museums.

My first experience with the clean out drink was so good I was actually kinda looking forward to the second one. I had a diverticulitus attack going on during the first one and the clean out made me feel a LOT better.

Now they gots a pill so you don't have to drink that gawdawful drink stuff.

Uncle's stuff was very popular in the 60's and 70's and had museum shows all over the world.

Lately they've been trying to raise funds to make his house some sort of landmark to keep it maintained. It was designed by Ben Goff and is called The Bavinger House.

Women are nuts, especially when it comes to the L word. That's the lesson I learned last year.

Careful, friend pissed his girl off like that and in trying to make up now they are married.

And just to be more flippant...

No ping pong balls, must be snapper, screamer, squirter, or all three!
