City of a hundred thousand souls… though several million actual people
Comments(3) This evening a man claiming the rather dubious moniker of “Neon Sandwich” stopped me on the street in soho in order to take a photograph of my shoes. Now, my shoes are pretty amazing, but such an event is nonetheless, fairly rare. In fact I think I might go far as to call it entirely unique.
He claimed to be doing a photographic study of topography, though exactly what relevance this had to my shoes is as yet unclear. He did however offer a chinese palm reading for my trouble, which I declined on the grounds that it sounded like utter wank.
I am generally a tad skeptical about things I believe to be the art world’s equivalent of chronic masturbation, but I always enjoy a bizarre diversion in an otherwise statistically unremarkable evening.
You gotta love New York, if only for the weird-ass shit.
That’s what is known in the amateur psychology as pseudoscience. He deserves ten out of ten for unique approach. I do hope you let him take the photograph. The world needs lateral movers like him. Where would we discover things like licking the eyeball of the Amazonian bullfrog produces the same hallucinogenic effect as LSD but for people like these. I’d nearly be sure it wasn’t a Wall Street broker who did that research.
Ten out of ten for unique approach. I do hope you allowed him to take the picture. We need people like this. I am willing to bet it was a guy like this who found out that licking the eyeball of an Amazonian bullfrog has the same hallucinogenic effect as a drop of LSD—-not a Wall Street broker! You are right about the pseudo science of palm reading, Chinese or any other nationality.
Mother, I must tell you that I feel you are wrong on one key point. The person who discovered that licking amazonian frogs is hallucinogenic was almost certainly a Wall Street broker. Those fuckers will do _anything_
