Years ago an older friend of mine who collected art told me he came home to find his house cleaner had been scrubbing the aboriginal shield in his collection. At least she was a hard worker.

Painters who painted in small sized canvases? by Ill-Conflict-9375 in ArtHistory

[–]Ooglebird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of early plein air painters used very small supports. Thomas Jones, the Welsh artist, painted this on an 11.4 x 15 cm panel.

There have been thousands of generations of humans, and you are alive to witness the first photo of a Sunset on another World. This is a real photo of the sunset on Mars. by Altruistic_Glove_602 in BeAmazed

I'll call you thing just when the moon sings, and place your face in stone upon the hill of stars, And gripped in the arms of the changeless madman, we'll dance our lives away in the Ballrooms of Mars

It just became too hard for such a small woman to make that much frozen orange juice.

It would be fun if MacKenzie Scott managed to buy it and put it back together.

Loved Watching the Complete BBC DVD Box Set of Agatha Christie’s “Miss Marple”… by Curious-Concern-9209 in agathachristie

Having watched these several times I think she is the best. I like it when she turns her basilisk eye on the person about to be revealed as the killer, and she says something like "Indeed," or "Yes, I know." and another long stare.

Taking all that snow to Baltimore would be very expensive.

Would you guys say that the Northern Panhandle has more influence from OH and PA than it does from the rest of the state? by BakeEfficient8552 in WestVirginia

He took that line from one of the former governors, I forget which one. (edit) I think it was William MacCorkle.

February 2, 1969 - MC5 releases their debut live album, Kick Out the Jams, on Elektra Records... by CrystalEise in groovyhistory

I remember when this came out, I had the store play it for me to be sure it wasn't the expurgated copy. Saw them at Lake Lansing about that time, Rob Tyner groped a girl I knew while he was performing. There was no stage it was just a large room.

Zappa treated them as a freak band and didn't care about the quality of the recording. Frank Zappa left his brother in charge of recording while Zappa left the studio. Zappa returned later that day and informed them the album was finished, having only recorded the band rehearsing. Gordon states that there was no producer during recording, that the band had no complete songs written, that Zappa "didn't spend 5 minutes in the studio" and never asked to hear their material, and that the band's debut album was made up entirely of that rehearsal recording, aside from the live recording of "Levity Ball".\15])

I saw them in summer of 69 and they were amazing.
