Back in February some chick named Corey called me from The Loading Dock, a really cool cafe bistro art gallery place. I had taken some funky little ladders to see if they wanted to sell them or show them or I don't know how to do stuff like that. Deep inside my delusions of grandeur, I thought I would impress them so much (plus I went to St. Mary's with one of the owners) they would give me my own show and I could invite my family for the cheese and the wine part of my dream. Well, Corey was putting on a "Spring Fair" and wanted to know if I was interested in participating. I paid $20 to set my artsy fartsy up in the fucking parking lot with a buncha other "crafters". Everytime people passed that little spot of my soul laid out on the table for sale (just $25!) they would read the above sign and a genuine smile would cross their face. Then they would walk on. I packed up Every item I came with. Not one thing sold. And I was Out twenty bucks.

Was this the "recently I learned not to sell stuff" event you mention in your profile holder?
Hey, don't feel bad. I tried to sell my body but there were no takers. I did get an offer to be the "before" photo at a weight loss place (from my sagging chest on down to my disgusting flabby pouchy belly) but I turned it down.
Oh Buffy,
You make me laugh. I love you.
Are you sure you don'e believe in
you know what?
We'd make quite the team!
Here's what I believe in: the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening presents on Christmas morning instead of Christmas Eve. And I believe in long, slow, deep, wet kisses that last three days.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh, shit, stop, I'm killing myself. Wait, here it comes againHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

I think that it is a brilliant sign. Don't feel bad, all the greatest artists were not appreciated in their day.
Also did I get the day right? Or was it last week or yesterday? I went back looking for a post of the day, and thought it was today. Goodness I hope so.
Buffy: Ewww, yuck. Kevin Costner is kinda gweebish. :0]
Beta: June 6th. But that's okay, I'll take it!
Yeah - I was right the second time. I found the first post and stopped. That is what I get for being lazy.
Well - huge and warm happy un-birthday hugs to you. Texas style.
I can't believe you didn't sell any ladders! What was that other stuff on your table that I couldn't see too well?
Now you can give them the guilt trip and ask for a real art show. Tell them that Art doesn't sell well in parking lot craft shows.
I would enjoy a ladder. I would have bought one. I would hang it in my bedroom. :)
They don't know what they're missing, clearly, none of them will climb very high in the world, but you are!!
