Now all I've got to do is get rid of two broken monitors ;-)

Should have brought your broken monitors back and set them on the
desk there...

Don't think it hadn't occurred to me;-) But I figure, considering
what the "new" one cost me I can certainly afford the minor
inconvenience of taking these two in for recycling/refurbishment.

Au contraire. What you actually need to do is install them on a desk
in an art gallery, and give them a title like "The Destiny of Commuter
Hope - A commentary on the intersection of technology and society in
the 21st century".

I haven't decided which I prefer among these three: "Man's crisis of
identity in the latter half of the twentieth century," "The Idiot in
Society," or "Archaeology Today".*


Don't forget to grow a goatee, though. And drop
the surname. Then flog it for ten thousand dollars as a challenging,
contemporary modern art installation.

Just as long as I don't have to lie writhing on the desk in my underwear
while smearing myself with human excrement and rhythmically burping. I
draw the line at performance art ;-) But can't I keep the surname and lose
the first name? If a Spanish surname was good enough for Dali, it's good
enough for me.

Further valuable contemporary art pointers can be secured by ordering
my handbook for followers of my movement, "The Haroshivi
Post-Modernist Disruptivist Movement" (Emperor's New Clothes
Publishers, 2004). Send your cheques for $29.99 to "Contemporary Art
Schooling and Help" (or just "CASH" for short) at the usual address.
Remember, this reference book is not available in the shops.

Coming soon: "JSF: Military-Industrial White Elephant or Triumph of
21st-Century Conceptual Art?".

Say, didn't you co-author "Semiotic Deconstruction of Social-semiotically
Constructed Reality"?
