"Brian o vretanos"

A parcel arrived for me today. It wasn't like the parcels I usually recieve from the Mediterranean containing books. This one was decorated with a picture of Green Bean Casserole, and the sender had put some polka dots on it.

So it was with some trepidation that I opened the parcel. I wondered if I should call the bomb squad, but decided to be brave (or reckless?)

Anyway, it contained... a stapler, which I have installed next to my other one as you can see.

The statue is called "Brian o vretanos", although the face needs to be put on. My printer doesn't do photos very well, so I've done this electronically.

I think this is the most thoughtful and unique present I've ever had. Thankyou, Jean Knee!

The stapler even works...

So ummm... what she's saying is that you have a staple butt??
Hee hee hee!
Awesome jean knee!

You look quite handsome as a stapler, Brian. I was gonna put your girl friend's head on a staple remover but my printer is kaput.

sorry about the sucky shoes but there again I couldn't print anything out so had to use the newspaper.

I think that qualifies me as a collage artist now.

Chris:

Isn't it great?

Bee:

I don't understand American English. What's a staple butt???

Jean Knee:

It would never ever in a million years have occurred to me that you could make people out of staplers. I'd have thought of the obvious - standing it the "normal" way up and putting eyes on it to look like, say, a frog, but never a person.

Your stuff should be in a gallery. It's better than a can of shit any day...

I think that may be the coolest stapler ever! Please inform Jean Knee that my birthday is in September.
And I don't think that Bee's term Staple Butt is a real term because I haven't even heard of it. Maybe she's pulling it out of her fantastico world only known to Bee.

Beeisms:
Staple butt = No gas.

Thank you ladies and gents, I will give another mini lecture tomorrow at 8 pm CTS.

I've always wanted my art to be better than shit in a can, and now it is.

dreams can come true

Tracy:

I think Jean Knee may have discovered her calling - Stapler Artist.

Beenglish:

You should compile a dictionary.

Jean Knee:

At least the stapler won't explode.

Jean Knee said...

I just thumbed my nose at your effigy and nothing even happened. did it give you a nightmare?

Jean Knee:

That wasn't very nice...

I'm sure it did, but as I was asleep, I don't actually know...

Bee said...

That GBC is looking yummy, I must be hungry!

Jean Knee said...

Bee:

I'll make you some and send it to you...

Jean Knee:

I was watching Emilia. I put your blog on the RSS thing the other day so that I wouldn't miss any of your posts.
