I mean the idea to paint the soup can wasn't his. I watched a documentary and he said he was stumped, couldn't think of what to paint, his friend said "I don't know, paint that can".

and?

dr. suess wrote green eggs and ham on a dare. A friend dared him to write a book containing less than x number (I think it was 20 or 30) of unique words.

All I was saying, is that it wasn't his idea. That's all, nothing more nothing less.

I also said he was brilliant earlier on in the conversation. So please don't take offence.

No, no, no, not at all. I was trying to remember what I had heard as to why he painted soup cans -- something about Campbell's soup being what his mom used to make for him when he was a kid, so he was fond of the can. I don't doubt that he got a nudge from someone to paint them. He had been painting $100 bills at the time and comic book characters but wanted to do something different.

My brother-in-law has a hand-written letter from Theodore Giesel confirming that the dare was true. And that it was about pot.

It's nightwish. I'm trying to figure out which song.

[hheath541]

Nope. I was wrong. It's not nightwish. It's within temptation- the other half (of me). They have such a similar sound, and have actually done some songs together, that I can't always tell them apart.

it's Monday, does anyone remember what that means?

that's right, it's picture day ^_^

the kittens are in full sibling-pouncing mode, so it was kind of hard to get individual pictures. Babies are 4 weeks old, and getting cuter every day.


Mop - 4 weeks


Aura - 4 weeks


Spot - 4 weeks


Zoe - 4 weeks


Unky - 4 weeks


Alty-cat - 4 weeks

[Aurora_Bell]

I waaaaant them!

[hheath541]

You should see them playing.

Aura climbed up the couch today to visit me. She's the first one to figure that out.

They all like climbing up my bike basket (the thing spot's standing up against), so I keep it in the living room for them when I'm home. Spot's the only one tall enough to reach the top of the basket without climbing up it.

I've left the pile of rocks there for them, too. I'll be going to the beach for more rocks and driftwood for them when it's dry, and a little warmer, again.

[Alty]

They just get cuter and cuter.

Stupid allergies. I want one. :(
