YES WE CAN BUT NOT VERY WELL
- Submitted by Allie
IF YOU HAPPEN TO LIVE IN GREENSBORO, I HAVE AN ERRAND FOR YOU TODAY
UPDATE: One of you fat bastards is on route RIGHT NOW to go buy this. Pictures to follow.
UPDATE: “When I got there, I asked the lady for the picture of Obama that had been offered for sale on the internet. I said ‘In it, he’s standing around with several people – it’s not something that has actually ever happened. Do you have a picture like that of President Obama?’
She said, ‘I’m still not sure which one you’re talking about.’
I nearly died. I would have pressed the issue, but she looked like Nell Carter with PMDD.”
“For size reference, and also for fun, the last picture is of my 11-month-old daughter slapping the piss out of Chris Brown’s picture, which she did of her own volition. I’m extremely proud of her.”

OH DEAR GAWD…..
April 30, 2012 at 11:05 am
Greensboro is an hour away, but I’d make the drive to behold this thing in person.
April 30, 2012 at 11:06 am
That’s the spirit!
April 30, 2012 at 11:11 am
You, too? Greetings.
If I weren’t working from home, I’d be IN Greensboro right now. This thing is worth a detour to see, OH YES.
April 30, 2012 at 11:15 am
i live an hour away too, but i’m stuck down in GA on business. *shakes fist at sky*
FYI, McLeansville is NE of Greensboro. if this doesn’t end up in the home of an FJL, an eagle will shed a single glittery tear.
April 30, 2012 at 12:34 pm
You guys should stop by the forums. We have lots of NCers in there, and we get together really often to fuck around.
April 30, 2012 at 1:04 pm
henceforth, i shall!
April 30, 2012 at 1:40 pm
*proceeds to fuck around all around Beeby’s house*
April 30, 2012 at 2:00 pm
Im in Greensboro too! Actually I just moved here a few months ago and dont know anyone so Im super stoked to see so many people in the area on here!
April 30, 2012 at 2:56 pm
hades, I’m not from here originally, either. I’ve discovered that most people aren’t… Native Greensboro-ites are a circle-the-wagons breed. I’m on facebook with my name listed as “Beeby” to make it easy.
April 30, 2012 at 6:38 pm
Wow! Sounds like we gonna have some NC FJL outings – Hoo Baby!
April 30, 2012 at 8:01 pm
i think I found and friend requested you, my fb profile pic is zombie me
April 30, 2012 at 3:24 pm
2 hours from me (I’m in SWVa). Unfortunately, I had no vehicle in which to go a view this supreme fuckery in person. Ah well.
April 30, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Damn I missed my calling..this is pretty close to me, about an hour and 40 minutes i think.
April 30, 2012 at 11:06 am
I’m on the other side of the continent, but I could SO see this mounted on the ceiling over my bed!
April 30, 2012 at 11:07 am
this .. this is astounding
part of me NEEDS this , or i will kill again
April 30, 2012 at 11:07 am
Dang it, I’m closer to Raleigh,NC than Greensboro!
April 30, 2012 at 11:16 am
Wow, a bunch of us Cackalackies are also fat jealous losers! We should do a meet-up. I’m Chapel Hill-ish.
April 30, 2012 at 11:36 am
That sounds like an EXCELLENT idea. FJL-NC. We need a shirt.
April 30, 2012 at 11:38 am
Norf Cackalacky REPRESENT! i’m in Charlotte, we could have a meet up at the NASCAR Hall of Fame. i bet there’s some serious craftardeness on display there.
April 30, 2012 at 12:35 pm
we had a NCRegretsyCON last October, we’re planning on doing it again this November! You guys come by the forums, there are TONS of us in the Cheerwine state!
April 30, 2012 at 6:06 pm
Some of us SC FJLs even crossed the border to join the fuqueri.
April 30, 2012 at 8:22 pm
And of course we had the MiniNCCon in April.. more like a family gathering than a true “con” but we had fun.
April 30, 2012 at 1:56 pm
Raleigh represent! Also, NC folks, don’t forget to get out and vote on the 8th! We got us an embarrassing constitutional amendment to defeat.
April 30, 2012 at 1:59 pm
srsly…
April 30, 2012 at 6:41 pm
I’m in Hillsborough.
May 1, 2012 at 8:17 am
And you’ll be at my house this week.
May 1, 2012 at 8:17 pm
I’m in Asheville and have no idea where Greenesboro is, but I do know I’m nowhere close to Raleigh. Even Charlotte requires weeks for planning. Phooey.
April 30, 2012 at 1:41 pm
I’m a Raliegh-ite. Get yourselves into the forums. We have meetups ALL THE TIME!
April 30, 2012 at 2:57 pm
No you’re not. You’re a Fuquay-Vagina.
April 30, 2012 at 3:43 pm
That’s ALWAYS how I read that sign when we drive to Raleigh. We’re heading up there next month for Memorial Day. Yay, NC!
April 30, 2012 at 6:40 pm
Yeah Isn’t the official F-V song “the Salting of the Slug”?
April 30, 2012 at 11:07 am
…including President Obama and Delta. Delta? Delta Burke?
April 30, 2012 at 11:11 am
We can only hope.
April 30, 2012 at 11:11 am
Damn, Delta Burke sure let herself go…
April 30, 2012 at 11:22 am
This is the “Delta” painting, not that it helps…
April 30, 2012 at 11:24 am
Delta Reese!
April 30, 2012 at 11:28 am
Della Reese?
April 30, 2012 at 1:10 pm
Annnd that led me to youtube to watch the Della’s Reeses Pieces skit on In Living Color.
April 30, 2012 at 2:46 pm
She looks like a really nice lady.
April 30, 2012 at 7:06 pm
That’s what Wendy Williams is going to look like in 30 years.
April 30, 2012 at 11:27 am
Maybe it has something to do with Egypt? Like the Delta of the Nile?
April 30, 2012 at 11:29 am
Sorry to disappoint but I believe it’s a black sorority or something. I too was hoping for Delta Reese.
April 30, 2012 at 11:28 am
This one is glorious.
April 30, 2012 at 11:36 am
Ok I think I got it, and we’re all off. Delta isn’t a person it’s a sorority… Delta Sigma Theta. Their mascot is the elephant and that triangle thing is their hand signal. Thanks Uncle Google!
April 30, 2012 at 11:40 am
Ohhhhh, and B’Obama is wearing a red tie & white shirt. Nice detective work, Velma!
April 30, 2012 at 3:08 pm
WHERE IS HIS OTHER EAR??? (And where’s the elephant’s other ear, too?)
April 30, 2012 at 4:21 pm
*facepalm*
This “triangle” is VERY close to the ASL sign for “vagina”…
Just a warning to all you Deltas out there. If you’re not getting many Deaf pledges, this might be why…
April 30, 2012 at 6:47 pm
…or if the Deaf frat has been inviting you Deltas to a lot of parties.
April 30, 2012 at 7:11 pm
Whoah. Someone ought to add that bit of information to their Wiki page. Just scroll down for my belated contribution to the convo.
April 30, 2012 at 11:38 am
Delta’s got cankles. If anyone paints me, my first request is give me awesome skin and hair. The second is get rid of my cankles.
April 30, 2012 at 11:48 am
I always wondered what Delta Dawn looked like.
April 30, 2012 at 1:49 pm
I’m Delta Dawn! You can see what I look like by my avatar – it’s a photo.
April 30, 2012 at 7:09 pm
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Delta_Sigma_Theta
April 30, 2012 at 4:28 pm
Jay-Z was on Delta’s magazine once… name mixup?

April 30, 2012 at 11:08 am
Why is Lil Wayne wearing a bookend around his neck?
April 30, 2012 at 11:18 am
Why is Lil Wayne there at all? Shouldn’t he be busy giggling on every song ever?
April 30, 2012 at 12:02 pm
It’s the purple drank. You’d be giggly too.
April 30, 2012 at 12:00 pm
Clearly he’s an Etsy fan. You just don’t “get” art you jealous meanie!
April 30, 2012 at 1:55 pm
I didn’t even see that. The true joys of fuckery are found in all the little details.
April 30, 2012 at 11:10 am
I AM IN GREENSBORO!
April 30, 2012 at 12:58 pm
Click my name and let’s talk! There are three others that I know of prior to this posting! We do shit.
April 30, 2012 at 11:11 am
It looks like Obama has baby hands like that Kristen Wiig character on SNL
April 30, 2012 at 11:12 am
Help me identify the people:
Obama,Nelly, Little Wayne, Chris Brown, and Chris Rock?
Where is Delta Burke?
I am about to drive to Greensboro to solve this mystery.
April 30, 2012 at 11:22 am
Obama, Usher, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown, Jay-Z. Maybe “Delta” was supposed to be “Hova”? I have no idea.
April 30, 2012 at 11:23 am
I’m thinking Nelly = Trey Songz (?) and Chris Rock = Jay-Z. And can I just add the perspective on Lil Wayne? OMG. Someone needs to do an Escher-girl anatomy sketch of his head and neck.
April 30, 2012 at 11:53 am
I don’t think it’s Trey Songz. I pretty much looked up every major hip hop artist and no one looks like that, with the cheekbones and the dimples and the narrow nose. Who is this mystery man? If it’s Usher, it’s a REALLY bad Usher.
April 30, 2012 at 12:05 pm
I only got Usher from the shades.
April 30, 2012 at 12:04 pm
Obama, Usher, Lil Wayne, Jay-Z. Not sure of the other dude, but the whole thing is Ludacris.
April 30, 2012 at 12:27 pm
“You be hatin’ and I see why – cuz u don’t know me!” Pretty sure mystery dude is TI
April 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Maybe?
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_mZdKbx-D5gY/TSbmf_gLR6I/AAAAAAAABI0/Gi_4JOIJ6Wg/s1600/ti.jpg
April 30, 2012 at 3:45 pm
That was my first thought too.
April 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm
OMG, I totally thought the guy fist bumping Obama was supposed to be Tiger Woods. Hahaha!
April 30, 2012 at 3:03 pm
And I thought it was Denzel Washington. Clearly we’re all coming from different alcoholic hazes here.
April 30, 2012 at 4:05 pm
There’s a “look alike” joke in here, but I’m too much of a lady to make it….
April 30, 2012 at 11:12 am
HELEN – That is less than a mile from my house. It would be my honor.
April 30, 2012 at 11:13 am
Do it beebs!!
April 30, 2012 at 11:14 am
DO IT AND TAKE PICTURES.
April 30, 2012 at 11:14 am
RUN LIKE THE WIND! Please report back on it’s level of awesomeness in person.
April 30, 2012 at 11:16 am
I emailed the original poster, store hours of operation are: Monday thru Saturday 10am to 6pm and Sunday 12pm to 4pm. Helping!
April 30, 2012 at 11:16 am
IM ON THE ROAD NOW
April 30, 2012 at 11:22 am
Beeby – field reporter for WFJL, your source for breaking news on Baligate, barnwood, and all things atrociously awesome.
April 30, 2012 at 11:26 am
Proud to be the whistle-blower that spurred Beeby to action.
April 30, 2012 at 11:45 am
Awesomely atrocious too
April 30, 2012 at 11:23 am
i love you
April 30, 2012 at 11:27 am
You are awesome, Beeby!
April 30, 2012 at 11:33 am
what’s happening? what’s happening????
April 30, 2012 at 11:48 am
I HAVE IT. IT IS IN MY HOUSE. IT IS SITTING IN MY FOYER. AND OH MY GIDDY AUNT, THIS FUCKING THING IS MAJESTIC.
I’m getting pictures ASAP.
April 30, 2012 at 11:50 am
curse my being on the other side of the atlantic , I cant even claim to be on the same continent as this glorious masterpiece
April 30, 2012 at 11:50 am
this is why we all need to have Skype… we need a Skype executive meeting NOW.
April 30, 2012 at 11:53 am
Is it weird that I’m sort of trembling and fighting not to pee a little for HK’s sake?
April 30, 2012 at 11:54 am
You are amazeballs as always. I am filled with excitement over your awesome endeavors.
May 3, 2012 at 5:56 am
Is it a sign that I spend to much time with you FJLs that my first thought when I read the location was that “Beebs must get this!”?
April 30, 2012 at 11:57 am
YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!
April 30, 2012 at 12:04 pm
AFHKSJFSDJ
I HAVE NO WORDS
You have no idea how jealous I am.
April 30, 2012 at 12:07 pm
YOU SHOULD BUILD A SHRINE TO IT RIGHT HERE AND NOW.
April 30, 2012 at 12:22 pm
THIS
WITH A HUNDRED CANDLES COVERED BY A HUNDRED KNITTED CANDLE COZIES
April 30, 2012 at 4:17 pm
Instead of shipping this to HK, it should be taken on a glorious road trip from one side of America to another- where we take turns, handing it off to another FJL, like the Olympics but way better, till it reaches HK and Bronc.
And we have to document its travel every step of the way, every mile marker, every exit sign.
April 30, 2012 at 4:41 pm
How big is this thing? Will we need vans?
April 30, 2012 at 5:51 pm
It should have its own FB page!
April 30, 2012 at 6:14 pm
OH MY GOD YES. I’ll have to ask my partner but we’re just over the border into SC and I expect we’d be willing to be a stop.
April 30, 2012 at 6:24 pm
I like this idea. Like Flat Stanley, only with more fuckery and booze.
April 30, 2012 at 6:27 pm
I love this Idea so much I want to make sweet sticky love to it. The photo fuckery possibilities are simply endless.
April 30, 2012 at 6:54 pm
Michigan FJLs would happily take it to our favorite road sign along I-75, Big Beaver Road (Exit 69). And Hell, it should definitely make a side trip to Hell.
April 30, 2012 at 8:40 pm
Wait, so (a picture of) black people leaving the South going stop by stop? Why does this sound so familiar…
May 1, 2012 at 1:05 pm
I would dig that so hard- I missed the California meetup because I’m under 21, but this would be like a second chance (I’m less than an hour from HK)
April 30, 2012 at 11:50 am
Anyone else imagining Beeby in a Ratrace-style race to get this? Except with less funny, more intensity. And explosions.
April 30, 2012 at 11:52 am
Awww… My comment was 2 minutes too late to be relevant… But congrats on your completed mission, Beeby!
April 30, 2012 at 11:56 am
Don’t worry. I’m still imagining it.
April 30, 2012 at 12:02 pm
I’m imagining flight of the bumble bee playing in the background. Or the Benny Hill song…
April 30, 2012 at 8:49 pm
I’m hearing the theme from Chariots of Fire.
April 30, 2012 at 12:32 pm
You’re not far from the truth. I had to pick up my son from the school (within sight of the store) and let me just tell you, car-line moms are fucking crazy. Also, this picture is HUGE. It’s probably a good thing I picked it up instead of someone else, because I had a hard time fitting it in my van. I don’t know that a sedan would have handled it well.
April 30, 2012 at 1:58 pm
DYING FOR A FULL REPORT! CALL ME, BITCH!!!
(note the comma – but you can call me bitch if you want to, as long as you CALL ME!)
April 30, 2012 at 11:50 am
I TOTALLY KNEW YOU WOULD BE THE ONE DOING THIS
I can’t wait for you to get to New York!
April 30, 2012 at 2:47 pm
heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee….
April 30, 2012 at 12:44 pm
You guys know that I’m not going to be around after today, right? Because when my oh-so-unwhimsicle husband gets home and finds out I bought a print of Obama shooting marbles with Lil John, he’s going to kill me.
You bitches better throw me the best wake ever.
What? Okay.
April 30, 2012 at 12:51 pm
This is a PRINT? I want to know WHO has the original!!!
April 30, 2012 at 12:53 pm
Mariana.
April 30, 2012 at 1:20 pm
There’s nothing original about her.
April 30, 2012 at 3:16 pm
I love you so much! (NOW I understand why you had to run off “to get the Obama print”)
April 30, 2012 at 1:24 pm
Your wake will be glorious and full of whimsicle.
April 30, 2012 at 4:07 pm
AND we’ll adjust the size of the smell….
April 30, 2012 at 1:43 pm
Considering the reason for your demise, we’ll be sure to pour a 40 out for our fallen homie.
April 30, 2012 at 3:17 pm
Word up, YO!
April 30, 2012 at 1:59 pm
Don’t worry, you’ll get reimbursed one way or another.
April 30, 2012 at 3:03 pm
He didn’t kill me. I’m shocked.
April 30, 2012 at 3:18 pm
I was just checking back in to see if you were dead yet. The wake would have been wonderful but it’s nicer with you still here.
April 30, 2012 at 6:29 pm
I did get the whole “this is why I don’t trust you with money” speech. But he wasn’t pissed. The look on his face when I brought this thing in from the garage should have been saved for all time.
April 30, 2012 at 7:19 pm
Let me know if you need Vicodin.
April 30, 2012 at 11:16 am
Is it weird I kind of want this? Think of what a great conversation starter it would be!
“Oh…that’s…an interesting piece.”
“Yeah, it’s one of my favs. Just a little something I had commissioned to commemorate the day I played pool with the President, and Lil Wayne. Good times. Nice chaps. And the President sure has some great weed.”
April 30, 2012 at 11:58 am
OMG, you know he has the BEST weed.
April 30, 2012 at 3:19 pm
This afternoon, a guy was walking up Broadway with a cardboard sign:
Keeping it real
Can you spare $1 for some weed?
I presume he was collecting dollars to purchase some weed…or I passed up one huge fucking bargain!
April 30, 2012 at 11:17 am
This is so delightfully awful I can’t help but desire it.
April 30, 2012 at 11:19 am
“No results found for “Obama Jay-Z fist-bump pool table Lil Wayne”.”
Bah, this print has to be available online somewhere.
April 30, 2012 at 12:10 pm
BEEBY – what does it say on the bottom there? Name of the print, perhaps?
April 30, 2012 at 1:10 pm
“WORK HARD – PLAY HARD”
-:-
“I believe in an America where hard work is rewarded.”
“If you’re walking the right path and you’re willing to keep walking, eventually you’ll make progress.”
PRESIDENT OBAMA
April 30, 2012 at 1:29 pm
Well, using those key words, I was able to find this:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/95722316@N00/3476172463
“Artwork featuring Obama at the IFest . . . This photo was taken on April 25, 2009 in Downtown, Houston, TX, US.”
The search continues . . .
April 30, 2012 at 1:33 pm
BREAKING NEWS: I FOUND IT.
$30 for a 36×24″ print.
http://www.myusart.com/print-Work-Hard-Play-Hard-963.html
May 1, 2012 at 8:28 pm
Then $15 is not bad at all for the framing. You can’t find an 8×10″ at Michaels for that price that isn’t made of plastic.
April 30, 2012 at 11:19 am
Wow wow wow wow, this is SO exciting! That thing is magnificent!
April 30, 2012 at 11:20 am
So many questions. Can I have a picture of Obama punching Chris Brown in the face? Is that Trey Songz? Also, how did they know about Jay-Z’s overbite? He hasn’t had that since before he got braces in the 1980′s.
April 30, 2012 at 6:59 pm
I think with some creative folding, or some help from the Law Firm of Koppian and Paysten, you can achieve your dream.
May 1, 2012 at 1:17 pm
If they aren’t available, those freaks at MAD magazine could help…
April 30, 2012 at 11:20 am
Black art? Yup, this has Death Eaters written all over it.
April 30, 2012 at 11:20 am
All I’m left with are more questions! Like: Is black art an actual thing? Is there white art? Is the white art considered racist? Why can’t we all just get along? Is rainbow art gay art, or just a group of various races? What does that make paintings of actual rainbows?
April 30, 2012 at 11:26 am
20th anniversary yesterday *glitter tear*
May 1, 2012 at 12:45 am
Apparently only in the greater Greenville area.
May 1, 2012 at 12:48 am
Duh, I meant Greensboro.
May 2, 2012 at 6:47 am
In general “white art” is just called “art” and consists of everything in most museums/halmark card shops etc. Black art needs a qualifier because it’s simply harder to find images of black people weather you want high art or high kitch.
Until, recently it would have made sens to call most halmark stores “white art shops” (though I think they have been slowly getting clue)
so um … yeah black art is a thing
April 30, 2012 at 11:26 am
Is there a version with Obama playing poker?
April 30, 2012 at 11:29 am
In velvet
April 30, 2012 at 4:48 pm
You got it.
That’ll be thirty bucks, please. Wait… that’s what I was charging to ‘Shop your photo on to some gaudy scenery. Wrong post.
April 30, 2012 at 4:57 pm
Crud. Wrong image. Why did it post when I told it to “preview”?
Enjoy, anyways. I tried.
April 30, 2012 at 5:04 pm
One last time.
This time, I didn’t cut off doggie #3′s head.
OK… I’ll be quiet, now. Carry on.
April 30, 2012 at 8:18 pm
I like the one with the missing dog head. That’s how I end up when I play poker. Usually after I’ve cried on the floor.
Memories.
April 30, 2012 at 12:38 pm
If it’s a thing, it was in that store.
April 30, 2012 at 11:27 am
That’s not Jay-Z is it?! I thought it was Chris Rock, lol!
April 30, 2012 at 12:51 pm
I thought it was Tiger Woods!
May 1, 2012 at 3:54 am
I thought it was Denzel Washington.
April 30, 2012 at 11:27 am
I live in Greensboro, too! Looks like the painting is already taken care of, but who knew there were so many FJLs in central NC? (Don’t answer that).
April, looks like we all know where your next Regretsy meet-up should be!
April 30, 2012 at 11:38 am
I’m IN MCLEANSVILLE, for all you FJL’s in Greensboro, there is a shop at 4 seasons mall about 3 doors down from where my husband works that has these types of paintings in the window all the time. I’m pretty sure I saw a fabulous one a couple weeks ago with Obama and Michelle and this wierd angel hovering over them.
April 30, 2012 at 12:39 pm
Are you seriously in McLeansville, too? Because McLeansville isn’t as big as a fart, we’re bound to be *really* close to each other.
Click my name and contact me?
April 30, 2012 at 11:39 am
Can someone ID all the people in the painting for those of us who are culturally impaired? I’ve got Pres. Obama (obviously), Usher, Lil Wayne, ??, and is that Nerd Version Jay-Z?
April 30, 2012 at 11:47 am
The ?? is Chris Brown and that’s post-Blue Ivy Jay-Z I guess.
April 30, 2012 at 11:55 am
I didn’t know Obama had such frighteningly long arms.
April 30, 2012 at 11:55 am
Did she get it?
April 30, 2012 at 11:57 am
Somebody from NC PLEASE find a piece of Farm Art that’s worthy of Regretsy. I can’t make myself go out and slop the hogs w/o a dose of Regretsy first anymore. There are some grumpy farmpeople in NC who really x6 need to be seduced into the Regretsy milieu. {They’d bring brownies & cupcakes to the meetup you’re planning, OK?}
April 30, 2012 at 11:33 pm
Seeing the “Leather Oaks”, I thought “be careful what you wish for”.
April 30, 2012 at 12:02 pm
I am so jealous of you people in NC.
I NEED THIS ON MY WALL
April 30, 2012 at 12:04 pm
I personally own a copy of this- It is hanging above the fireplace. It has entertained me and guests since February. I absolutely love it
April 30, 2012 at 12:33 pm
And why the hell didn’t you share this with the rest of the Regretsy? My God! You could have been a star! You could have been a contender.
April 30, 2012 at 3:21 pm
You coulda been a somebody!

WHERE ARE THE PICTURES? Come on, Beebs, you know we’re all DYING here! (Blessings on you for being such a totally awesome FJL, too!)
April 30, 2012 at 12:42 pm
I sent them to HK about five minutes ago.
April 30, 2012 at 1:22 pm
Yay! I am jonesing for them, seriously!

There’s a tiny ball joke in there somewhere, but I just don’t have the energy to find it.
April 30, 2012 at 12:22 pm
Holy balls, there are a LOT of North Carolinians here!
The only thing that would make this better would be if it also had Kanye West in there, being called a jackass.

I hear Obama and Tracy Morgan are very close.
April 30, 2012 at 12:27 pm
Oh my god, I wish I’d seen this sooner!
I live on that street.

This is crazy. I pass your house all the time, my kid goes to the school.
April 30, 2012 at 12:49 pm
Dear Dog, I hope Fox News doesn’t get hold of this.
April 30, 2012 at 1:00 pm
My dad will be so proud.

OBAMA HIP-HOP POOL TOURNAMENT FAILS TO CREATE JOBS
April 30, 2012 at 1:03 pm
Long time lurker, just registered to say howdy to the NC folks. I am in Chapel Hill, also ~hour from Greensboro
April 30, 2012 at 8:32 pm
Look for the Little Blue Nissan with the CF4L sticker in front of the Chapel Hill HippyAldi (aka Trader Joe’s) — that’s ME. Not that its much of an accomplishment.
May 1, 2012 at 8:36 am
I’m going to be going to school at Chapel Hill next semester!
May 2, 2012 at 3:11 am
congrats! there are lots of friendly FJLs around if you’re lonely!
April 30, 2012 at 1:19 pm
this restores all my faith in the human race
April 30, 2012 at 2:59 pm
Beeby is the greatest FJL of us all!
April 30, 2012 at 3:09 pm
Excuse me for the irrelevancy, but I found this a few minutes ago and the only place where it could be truly appreciated is here!

Two guys exploring the worst bars in Geneva! What more can one ask for?! (Even if you don’t speak le francais, look at ze photos.)
April 30, 2012 at 3:18 pm
The worst bars in Geneva look better than the best bars around here.
April 30, 2012 at 8:47 pm
that’s awesome
April 30, 2012 at 3:30 pm
You’re all wrong. It’s the Illuminati and that is NOT Obama, that is Osama Bin Laden. Can’t you see it in the eyes for Christ Fucking Sake?? Hell yeah, that’s the pool table at the Bohemian Grove! I bet if you fold that picture you can find an owl too! I dare you to try it!!
April 30, 2012 at 3:44 pm
MOM?! Who let you on the internet?!
April 30, 2012 at 6:31 pm
I love you, you gaping vag.
April 30, 2012 at 3:53 pm
Well this is just glorious.
April 30, 2012 at 4:20 pm
i don’t know who chris brown is… seems like a pretty common name though.
April 30, 2012 at 8:36 pm
It is, it happens to be my brother’s name, but this Chris Brown is the one who beat the shit out of Rihanna.
April 30, 2012 at 5:58 pm
Is anyone but me srsly irked by the lack of proper perspective and proportions on this masterpiece? Or does it matter?
April 30, 2012 at 6:48 pm
SS – read all these comments with echos of massive sarcasm… EET EES ‘ORRIBLE!!! That’s why we Luv it soooo much!!!
May 1, 2012 at 12:42 am
Perspective and proportion in art were repealed several years ago by Homeland Security laws. You can tell by the amount of movie advertising and magazine ads since then, with missing/extra body parts and groups of people with disproportionate heads/bodies.
Call it “folk art”, “outsider” or “naive” and you’re home free, anyway.

I just had to explain this to my mother in the middle of a Papa Razzi.
She looks at me and says, “Whoever painted that should be ashamed of themselves.”
…I don’t know whether that makes her an honorary FJL or incapable of being a FJL (even though I definitely inherited the F and the J from her side of the family).
April 30, 2012 at 7:40 pm
The pool table is so RANDOM! What if this really did happen and everyone looked so awkward posing with a relic of another America that ironically was connected to gambling (pool sharking) and not “hard work”?
ps. I love playing pool!
April 30, 2012 at 8:44 pm
I would sincerely love this on my wall…
April 30, 2012 at 11:40 pm
Oh, wow, congratulations! I love that idea of sending it cross country one FJL at a time, too. Such fun.
May 1, 2012 at 2:49 am
If I brought that home, bricks would be shat, but not for the reasons I’d want them to be, sadly.
May 1, 2012 at 4:17 am
Batman, what happened?!
May 1, 2012 at 4:19 am
Gah, this was supposed to go on leather codpiece guy! Think I need another drink before I try to comprehend multiple page tabs again…
May 1, 2012 at 4:46 am
I’m going out on a limb this time and saying this is a beautiful piece…
Unironically.
Though the expression on the man on the right’s face is indeed priceless. Yet, I’d probably be equally excited to fist-bump the Prez.
May 1, 2012 at 7:19 pm
I read that as unicornally. XD
May 1, 2012 at 7:42 pm
I kinda have to agree.
The only thing that makes it kinda “wat” is the idea.
May 2, 2012 at 6:51 am
I think the artist gets the fun and absurdity if this work as much as anyone here… it slightly annoys me that when people enjoy art ironically there’s this implication that the artist can’t possibly fully understand what they’ve done… I think they know damn well what they’ve done… and it’s superfun.
