#33 Patty has been abuducted by an alien :

So, the wood they’re mounted on and the wooden shadowbox are made from some rare type of wood that can only be harvested under the blue moon on a Leap Year, sawed by ten virgins who all drink from the same bottle of Kahlua before being used in this “art”, right?

I mean, how else can the “artist” justify the price tag?

This is actually a long awaited retaliation by Dee Barnes. What better (legal) way to get revenge than to put the faces of NWA on tennis balls and beat the crap out of them, like Dre did her.

You know, other than that 20-some million dollar lawsuit.

Also….Straight Outta Craptown is right. (heyo)
