January 17, 2012 The Obliteration Room
Start off with a completely white room - a canvas of sorts.
Give children lots of dot stickers.
| The white room is gradually obliterated over the course of the exhibition, the space changing measurably with the passage of time as the dots accumulate as a result of thousands and thousands of collaborators. |
Discovered on This Is Colossal
Installation conceived by Yayoi Kusama: Look Now, See Forever
and shown in Queensland Gallery of Modern Art.

I like it.
Imagine if they gave each visitor gum to use instead?

Did someone say gum??

This is the Maid Rite drive thru in the greater Greenville Ohio area. The Maid Rite's are good if you don't get too grossed out driving past the gum art. I am a frequent contributor.

See, this is why they say careful what you ask for.

Hiya bbuilder!
Nice find. Welcome to the cellar.
bbuilder Tuesday Jan 17 01:20 PM
Thanks, BigV. I've been a lurker for awhile. Your Seattle Gum Wall is much more colorful.
I really want to paint my basement white now and hand out stickers. I'll put it on my to-do list.

How long has Maid Rite been there? It is pretty famous locally.
Welcome, fellow Ohioan!

Only Hobo Hookers.

That sounds like a fishing club who use old boots for bait.

Maid Rite has been in Greenville since 1934 from what I can tell. Apparently things don't change there much which adds to the charm.
Pete Zicato Wednesday Jan 18 10:10 AM
On a more serious note, what the heck is a loose meat sandwich? How does it differ from a...sandwich.
infinite monkey Wednesday Jan 18 10:17 AM
Crumbled beef. I don't know what all they use in them, but they're delish!
Clodfobble Wednesday Jan 18 01:36 PM
Like a sloppy joe without the sauce holding it together?
infinite monkey Wednesday Jan 18 02:16 PM
Yeah, like that. It sounds like nothing special but they are quite good.
bbuilder Wednesday Jan 18 04:48 PM
Nothing holding it together, it kinda falls apart.
Pete Zicato Wednesday Jan 18 05:26 PM
Ok. I looked. Someone started out browning hamburger to make spaghetti but decided to make a sandwich instead.
infinite monkey Wednesday Jan 18 05:34 PM
On Roseanne they started a loose meat sandwich diner.
Pete Zicato Wednesday Jan 18 05:40 PM
They must think we're too refined for Maid-Rite here in Chicago. They started in Iowa. They're in Ohio. They seem to have missed us here.

And the sandwich:
What the heck, let's throw in the menu, too, while we're at it:

You know, it has such a local 'greasy spoon' type ambiance I never knew it was a franchise. Looking at the site, I don't see a listing of all the restaurants to find the one in Greenville OH, but I would assume it's part of the franchise.
I looked up the one in G-ville, and found a recipe...
Faux Maid-Rite
1 lb Ground Beef
1 tsp ground pepper
1 tsp sugar
2 tsp prepared mustard
6 oz beer (optional)
salt (to taste)
Not much to it, but tasty. Of course, there might still be a secret ingredient. 
I think imma make some this weekend.
Pete Zicato Friday Jan 20 09:37 AM
Imma try this one sometime soon:

Those recipes are so different. Imma try a combination of both.
Thanks Pete.

I had to look it up. I've heard of it a million times but had never considered it. It's opposed to 'dry' mustard.
