Jesus, you mean THIS wasn’t the Mother of All Posts? Wow. Lotta good stuff here, and thanks for the paragraph. I’m a big fan of those roadside websites too…wish I was the one who got to do the Kodak “American Mile Markers” deal… so amazing, and addictive.

I think I recognize some Cowboy Wisdom in the section to Kurt…excellent. And the pastel link: priceless. But you’re still missing one thing on this site: Maniotes postin’ some of his favorite Spinach Pie recipes. Keep up the good work.

You ain’t seen nothing yet.

Free Kirby!

Yeah- they already did.

You have to be careful when you’re a celebrity, even more careful than one of us normal men trapped in this world of cold, heartless, mean-spirited, soul-sucking female types. You’ve got some $$$ in the bank, all a girl’s got to do is blow the whistle, and everyone’s ready to condemn you.

Much love, Big Drap. Thanks for the re-occurring shout-outs. You’re a HellaDude.

Promotional Note:
Everyone go buy the new Songs:Ohia “Magnolia Electric Co.” CD and/or LP. It is goddamn brilliant, and an early frontrunner for the 2003 Ryno Award.

then.
then.

I’m both flattered and inspired, Aaron. You forgot an “e” in my last name though. Pure Danish. I’ll have Vanessa get back to you on how she keeps me in line… I’m guessing it’s with this goddamned “sex diet” that she’s got me on…

although it might be fun, because i am of such “class and caliber” i will restrain myself from commenting on the shit-talking, pig squeeling, spell checkin’, shadowy nature of my partner - the one, the only, kurt halsey frederiksen. as for the “sex diet” as far as i can tell the only restrictions on his intake include dairy and animal products. i believe he refers to this as veganism (see pj’s recent comments section for further info). i think should be offended at this comment, but well…you know…what could i say that he wouldn’t take seriously?

Careful, Vanessa.

You’re about to get turned into a sad painting.

Some creepy, hand-written text like:
“She Put Me on the Sex-Diet “
then a picture of Kurt (Milhouse) pulling his trousers open and looking in, with smudged - out pictures of “some mystery girl” floating in the background. I’m seeing a lot of salmon, teal, dusty tan, and some easter-egg purple. Maybe a toy - like a yo-yo or a paper airplane somewhere.

I propose that Ryno and Kurt, who “know each other’s styles intimately,” have a paint-off, wherein each does “the ultimate” painting in the other’s style, and shares the results with us online.

Ryan could paint something cute and sentimental, with a theme of lost teenage love, and Kurt could paint something rough, combining sports, drinking, roadside Americana, creepily-articulated hands with extra joints, haggard faces, and pirates and/or cowboys.

Anyone else think this would be awesome?! I would love to see it and you could auction the finished paintings on eBay to raise money for Christian 9/11 victims or kitty rescue societies…

I’ll do anything for the kitties, PJ…

How do I get started on the Sex Diet? Kurt, can you point one of your cutie indie-rock/goth admirers my way, just as a suppliment? I’ve been “malnourished” for so many moons now that I’m probably starting to give Ogaz a run for his money…

I like the idea of a Ryno/Kurt paint off.
But…does Ryno still paint or make art? Outside the fine arts of insulting people and finding defication web pages I mean.

Kurt does not look that much like Milhouse. Besides, Johnathan took the Milhouse championship at MCAD anyway.

Aaron, congrats on your one year at Cinco. Sounds like this place has been good to you. I’d like to see some of the design you have done, even if it’s in the rotating image section of this page.

And PJ, I posted that recipe for spinach and rice, not spinach pie, to appease your vegan Jedi ass, so get it right. I never give out the recipe for spinach pie outside the family anyway. Besides, Draplin is a true blue meat eater, so I’d honor that if he requested a recipe. (Lamb or shiskabob is easy to make Aaron).

Thanks for the kind words Draplin. Instead of linking people ot my site, I’ve deiced to let them see the gooey goodnes right here in my comma, coma, cement, seamen, comment.

Mr. Rose. Goddamn, that’s some hot coding, you’re a bad motherfocker. I’m a fan of your site, your design work, and your taste in ephemera. Anyone who’s a friend of Draplin is a friend of mine, all day long. Good work and nice redesign.

To those who check in here before pjchmiel.com :

In response to the Kurt/Ryno paint-off challenge … click my name.

Big ups to PJ for the posting assistance.

Just plain mean. Brilliant though, at the expense of little Kurtie.

Kurt better retaliate, and soon…while things are hot between the two of ya. Take a break from being cute, and get mean.

Couple of assholes, both of ya.

Drap, if you don’t mind, I posted your war icon graphic on the band website and gave you the props. -Pablo

Wow, Ryno did a good fake Kurt.

I can’t wait to see Kurt work in the insult/profanity/defication genre to parody Ryno.

Don’t make Kurt angry Ryno…you wouldn’t like him when he’s angry…

You guys will have to wait awhile for a “Ryno” inspired knock off piece by me. It may be awhile, but it will come. I just have to wait for 2 things before I can get going, because if I’m going to do it, I want to be sure to do it right-

1) Spring Cleaning season, so I can garbage pick and dumpster dive and find some old wood or dry wall to work on. Maybe I’ll hit the jack pot and find an old chalk board or ping pong table.

2) for Jo-Ann Fabrics to have a clearance sale on all that bottled “craft” paint so I can stock up on Ryno’s favorite colors and mediums.

I’m laughin’ - Kurt - for now.

good.

good.

Kurt:

For the Ryno Retaliation Project: I could rustle up a couple cans of stray house paint for you, and hell, I might have some stray junk mail stickers that could be used too. If you are gonna do it, do it right.

Here are some trick of that fucker’s “trade”:

1. Menards’ clearance rack.
2. Marked down Easter candy, obscure brands.
3. Splinter-filled shantytown roofing.
4. Minnesota Twins Commemorative SuperAmerica 80 ouncer plastic cups, y’know, for mixing those hues.
5. Paint late and yodel loud, while others try to sleep.
6. Use giant words to justify a collage involving hunter orange, baseball legends and the occasional set of crude, knotted, knuckled fingers.
7. Say things like, “You don’t get it.” after no one gets it.

Good luck. This forum welcomes yer finished project, so aim straight.
