A Not-So-Polite Introduction
 

...just kidding. But I do want to say hey, glad to be here. I read the Cellar's creed, was shocked by a feeling reminiscent of living in a democracy (how long it's been), and immediately joined.

That's just crap. The real reason I'm here is because I was researching an artist by the name of Pearce Bates and one of the few links led to xoxoxoBruce, here where we are all better than everyone.

Ok...so it's a combination of both. Bottom line, it's a comfortable mix...at least for my kind.

Stop by, say hello.

it will probably bug him that i got to say welcome before he did, too.

welcome!

Yeah but it will piss you off when he gives JQ the quiz and you didn't even think of it.

QUIZ QUIZ QUIZ !!!!!!!

Ok, I got the bait....what's the quiz??

Gosh, I don't think I've ever been Bates to attract newbies before.


Well, maybe when I ran the motel.:speechls:

You came into this with your eyes open, apparently, so welcome.

It will only get worse.

Oh, wait, shit. "Not so polite."

Good to fuckin' meetcha.

Howdy, Jonesie. Come on in, the lunacy's just fine.

Good tactic Bruce...and to think the old line/joke was "why don't you come up and see my etchings?" And lookie here...it worked!

And the only way to board this train is with closed eyes, plugged nose and one final leap into the welcome warmth of fine lunacy. Fuckin' nice to meetchyall too.

And it'd better get worse or I'm not hangin' around.

welcome. well come. well cum. we'll cum. wheel comb. dammit somebody stop me. feel foam. meal tomb. ARGHHH

Darling, we've talked about this before. You've got to want to stop.

So why were you looking up Bates?:confused:

Bought a lithograph - '50s, abstract. Arrived today, and it is excellent. I saw the image you posted of "Real Blues" - this guy's pretty good. I'll get a shot of this one, "Gambit", and post it. Let me know what you think.
