Brains Are Not to Be Wasted

Yes, there was an oil painting and mountain goats (sculptures, not the band, which I don't hate but strongly meh), the artist claimed copyright and demanded the piece be withdrawn. Here's good news - fucking blooger won't allow c/ping this morning, neither alt-c/alt-v crtl-c/ctrl-v or right clicking mouse. Actually, it pastes it so the code can be seen when composing is open to html but it doesn't appear in wysiwyg or when the preview post is viewed. Oh, and I keep getting a pink banner across the top telling me some unspecified error occurred which may or not fuck up the post. Oh, and link button isn't working, so today's links - and dang, they are the best links ever - tomorrow, maybe, I may not have a choice. Fuck this. Have a song, a typed-out poem, a song.

                   as John Burke

          read the comics

               at the City Council

               table saying

          when you guys have played

          long enough there's no use

          of my wasting my

          time:  brains

          are not to be

               wasted
