I have a Facebook friend that capitalizes every word of every status update. I like to imagine that all her status updates are the titles of really boring books that she’s writing: “Packing For Vacation”, “Going To The Salon To Get Highlights”.
I used to have a friend on Facebook that did the exact same thing. Even the 2000 word essay on her “about me” info was written like that. Then I Deleted Her.
Looking at this actually makes me feel sick. I want to scoop it up in a paper towel and dispose of it. Or, preferably, make someone else scoop it up in a paper towel and dispose of it.
Yah, justlook at Mel Gibson, Sarah Palin, Tom Cruise, and Tammy Faye Baker (the younger years). Heck, Charles Manson was “reasonably” good looking when he was young.
which reminded me; it looks like the photos my eldest stepson surprises me with on his iPhone. Which is why I always say “no thanks!” when he offers to show me new photos of our grandchild.
The Etsy link takes you to another of his listings–using the same material, he made little sitting monk figurines as “fire starters.” Yes, I’m sure no one’s karma will be damaged by setting alight little effigies of monks and tossing them into the fireplace or a camp fire. No, everyone will get a free pass on that one.
Guess he didn’t have the artistic ability to mold a figure to match the Vietnamese monk that was set on fire. Famous Life magazine photo, but I refuse to go find it and look at it again.

Q: Are they made out of poop?

The Etsy link is actually to a piece that we ended up not using, by another artist. He submitted those monk effigies to us, gleefully proclaiming that they looked like poo.
I have since fixed the link.
That is not a knot. It’s not anything visually interesting at all. The cracks in the curves and splits down the middle are all really shoddy workmanship. I am dissapoint!

My 9 year old daughter walked by and asked “What’s that?” I said “What do you think?” She said “poop.”
August 4, 2011 at 2:58 pm
Clearly your daughter does not have a future as an etsy admin.
August 4, 2011 at 3:20 pm
but she will be welcome to regretsy
August 4, 2011 at 5:41 pm
That made me man-laugh.
(I’m female.)
August 4, 2011 at 2:46 pm
If your poop looks like that.. You need more fiber, and probably some yogurt.
August 4, 2011 at 3:50 pm
Their problem is that they’re using the fiber to hold up the poop.
August 4, 2011 at 2:56 pm
… I don’t even know what to say about this one …
August 4, 2011 at 3:06 pm
Meditation and constipation both involve long periods sitting and contemplating the universe.
This necklace doesn’t look like it has much relation to Zen.
August 4, 2011 at 10:13 pm
I know… ZEN? WTF?
August 4, 2011 at 3:12 pm
Well, one part of the description is true: You can definitely find some pieces of shit in upscale LA boutiques.

The Buddha Moved!
August 4, 2011 at 7:23 pm
It appears to have been quite a movement.
August 4, 2011 at 3:14 pm
Don’t come in the bathroom, honey, I’m making iguana pendants.
August 4, 2011 at 5:46 pm
I turned the laptop towards my spouse and asked, “what’s this look like?” Without taking a breath, he said, “Dog turd,” and went back to his book.
August 4, 2011 at 3:14 pm
Is that a Mobius turd?
August 4, 2011 at 3:15 pm
Zen and the art of butthurt?
August 4, 2011 at 7:27 pm
This could be the title of Helen’s next book.
August 4, 2011 at 8:00 pm
Nothing a little cod liver oil wouldn’t help…

I have a new (read untoilet trained) puppy. I just picked up a heap of these “pendants” off the living room floor with a paper towel.
She is adorable – I called her Widget – sorry I just had to share.
August 4, 2011 at 3:19 pm
I’m having trouble picturing even an *actual* turd in an “upscale LA boutique” costing only $5.
August 6, 2011 at 3:18 am
Don’t they all have colonic irrigation in LA? Too posh to push…
August 4, 2011 at 3:50 pm
reasonably goodlookin guy made this.
as an aside, i think he is trying to fuck w/ peoples heads.
{i know both these things cos i clicked the link.}
August 4, 2011 at 4:44 pm
“Reasonably good looking” and “bat shit crazy” are not mutually exclusive.
August 4, 2011 at 6:59 pm
Yah, justlook at Mel Gibson, Sarah Palin, Tom Cruise, and Tammy Faye Baker (the younger years). Heck, Charles Manson was “reasonably” good looking when he was young.
August 4, 2011 at 6:59 pm
(Depending on your definition of “reasonably.”)
August 4, 2011 at 7:40 pm
So, “Vyktorya” is a guy’s name?
August 4, 2011 at 3:54 pm
My cat can mass produce these. I just don’t think we can change the smell.
August 4, 2011 at 4:56 pm
But maybe you could just make the smell smaller?
August 4, 2011 at 3:56 pm
I didn’t know it was possible to make clay look so much like fecal matter. And in what world is that a knot, zen or no?
August 4, 2011 at 4:10 pm
It would look much more appealing if it were photographed on barn wood.
Or at the bottom of a toilet.

I kind of like the immoolating monk effigies. Although, they also look like poo…
August 4, 2011 at 10:15 pm
Well, if he made them in his artistic ability, ya gotta respect.
August 4, 2011 at 5:28 pm

I like that under his “Favorite Shops” he has not one but two CF4L patches. I giggled.

August 4, 2011 at 9:23 pm
Oh, no. This is my ceramic pet peeve…
August 4, 2011 at 10:22 pm
This is a baked and glazed cat turd. Tell the truth, seller.
August 5, 2011 at 12:10 am
Seller, please tweak my last nerve a little more by carelessly tossing Zen into your description.
Though, in my studies, I have heard Zen described as a “movement”…hmmm…
No, I’ve decided. Kitty cat-shit around my neck would be very bad for my karma.
August 5, 2011 at 4:44 am
I don’t want to see the rest of the zen series.
August 5, 2011 at 8:53 am
Only one left, huh? You don’t say…
Have you asked your friends to see if they bought them just to get the other two out of the public view?
August 5, 2011 at 3:42 pm
My 3 year old just asked me why I was looking at poop. I’m not sure what else this is supposed to look like, if not poop…
