I want Edward Teach panties, so I can have pirate booty

I took this video of Chris at the Rhizome gig last week. some of the musicThe BodyWorlds Exhibit opens today at Scienceworld! (His website's been updated, it's nice now. Really).

I went with Alastair to see it when we were down in L.A. It's beautiful and liberating in a way that's difficult to describe. I wanted to cradle every body, kiss thier

Yeah, see things like "Critics contend that the exhibition is sensationalist and that the artistic, lifelike poses into which the plastinated cadavers have been fixed is degrading and disrespectful." I just don't get. How is that either one?

The only thing I can think of that would give me issue about where the corpses came from is if there was rumour of foul play, if the people hadn't died of natural causes.

Is it just me or does "I had to kill them to make them pretty" make sense?

You know, in a Saw kind of way.

There's an excellent short story about that here in my room somewhere. In a book, like as not. A man is asked some questions by the police, he remembers that neighbor, sure, but they weren't bodies when he was a boy, they weer rose bushes.

He wonders what his mother saw when he brought home a handful of flowers.

Pirate day is getting posted around as it should be

[reluctance]

I don't know about all that, but here's another one.

[porphyre]

That's the one I've got linked on the word "around" though thank you, I appreciate it. I've heard of a couple more, mostly Andrew's doing.

Boy that contact juggling that Chris did there in the video was mind blowing. I keep watching it. It's hypnotic. Awesome.

I've known Chris since the first week he was in Vancouver, but the effect never wears off. He makes me understand why religious people think sex is dirty.

[porphyre]

*grins* I hope that video gets passed around, though it's the only time I've ever seen him drop anything, (he had the flu), just because I think it's important people see what humans are capable of.

[sciencequeen]

I believe me and some of my friends are going Sep 30 sometime. Would you like to come along with us?

[porphyre]

Hells yeah. I'll want to see it lots.

[plaidalicious]

beautiful juggling, and I really want to see that exhibit. Possibly I shall join any excursion that happens.

[porphyre]

Sincerely, you simply must.
