    Mostly Ds: You want to live in Gloucestershire and already have a Haywain plate hanging on your kitchen wall


    Well, if that's Bosch's Haywain they're referring to, they're almost right.

    I got the same thing Spider. But I don't have any plates hanging on my kitchen walls, just hand painted ceramic fruits and veggies.

    I am half human, half bull, and all Picasso!


By droopy on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 05:49 pm:

    let's you and me run through spider and eri's houses and break their haywain plates.


By Bubbles on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 05:52 pm:

    WTF is a Haywain plate anyways! Sounds like fun!

    Should we get some Picasso sketches from Beverly Hills and frame them above their beds, too?


By Ophelia on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:09 pm:

    i'm a picasso, too, but a relatively peaceful one. sometimes. honestly, though, why shop for what you can pull out of the "skip"?


By droopy on Tuesday, May 28, 2002 - 06:20 pm:

    the haywain is a painting by a man named john constable that's sort of an icon in britain. it appears on postcards and plates and stuff like that because it's just so quaint. a haywain is the horsecart in the picture.

    yeah see that quiz lost me on a lot of references, to the point where I had no fucking idea what the results meant.

    for someone who despises the British (or was it the French) you spend a lot of time on one of their news sites drrrrrrop.

    All I can say is that IS NOT hanging in my kitchen. There are Thomas Kinkade prints in my dining room, I guess that's close enough.

    you gotta keep abreast of what the other side is thinkin'. every morning i go to the internet public library where you can access newspapers from all over the world.

    this is from a bbc message board -

    "To Mikko in Finland: You've made a common mistake, which is to believe the European press. If you read the New York Times - it is online - you will see that there are indeed voices of dissent [in America]. Of course, Le Monde and the Independent sell more papers by appealing to Europeans' sense of righteous indignation. The line is often blurred between "George Bush" and "Americans". If Bush does not support the ICC, Europeans say "Americans think they are above reproach." As someone who tends to agree with the European majority on these issues, I find this misguided criticism very tiresome. And when this country does anything right - such as waving immigration rules to take in Sudanese refugees under the Clinton administration - no one pays attention! Is it any wonder we get defensive?"

    also, i like to try to do the guardian crossword.

    please let's not say what we have hanging on our walls, ok?


By Spider on Wednesday, May 29, 2002 - 08:36 am:

    What an ugly picture.

    This is a much better Haywain.
