Yes, I want it. 4 days is a long time, though. This one will get expensive.

I would buy it for what it is selling for right now, but it'll probably be four or five hundred dollars. I want to, and if I wasn't married I would. But I have responsibilities now. Damn you, responsibilities.

The second one I would buy, but my favourite yet too.
I would, if I had any money. Well, no... Enough and more obviously!

Whenever I see this topic in my head I hear the title read like the old Muppet Show skit. BEEF . . . IN SPAAAAACE!

Over this past weekend several facts that should have been linked together in my brain finally coalesced. There are a couple references to Beef and Moussaka: in his fight with Molly, he was outed as sneaking Moussaka into a movie theatre; and when he finally got the brass to lay the "law and the lash" upon Gramma K, he was originally making Moussaka.

I look over the previous two sentences and realize that I've capitalized Moussaka; rather than correct this, I will simply carry it on as if Moussaka was a proper noun. As it should be.

Anyway, I realized that Beef had an affinity for Moussaka; it never really clicked in my head that Beef is Greek ("Kazenzakis"). Finally, after a viewing of My Big Fat Greek Wedding, I realized; Beef is Greek and maybe his insecurities come as a result of a culture clash.

It also helps cast Showbiz in a different light; the stereotypical sleazy Greek with ponytail and chest-mat a-blazin' a la various SNL skits really comes to life knowing that Showbiz is Hellenic.

Does Gramma K have an accent? Is she Greek or only Grandpa K?

ok enough rambling for now

No Coke - a-Pepsi!

Everyone go to the Billy Goat Tavern downtown Chicago. That was the place where they got the idea for that skit.

Don't go to the ripoff one that's away from downtown.

I really dislike this painting.  It's not in color and it really has no interesting background.  You'd think since Onstad's making a fortune off these things, that he'd actually take time to paint something that takes more than ten minutes.

It's a free market. Don't bid on it if you don't like it, but if he's making money doing what he does, why would he change it because you don't like it?

If I were you, I'd go ahead and contact Onstad and commission a piece to your liking. Then you can feel good about spending your own mad dollars on a piece with color and everything.

Indeed. The painting isn't my style but criticizing if for being in black and white is like bitching about poems that don't rhyme.
