Look at . . . his cows with their comic camouflage dapples . . . .
-- Arthur C. Danto, "Sometimes Red", ArtForum , January 2002
Wow, I have hit a brick wall with this one. Albeit a whimsical brick wall dappled with ivy, but a solid wall of blank thought nonetheless. Where to go with this...hmmmm... I'm gonna have to stretch, really stretch for this one... Maybe "Why are dapple-faced gingers the object of ridicule and persecution in our society?" No, that's too easy, because they are just plain creepy. Okay... Oh! Maybe "I am pissed at the snow that is dappling my tulips after being teased with 80 degree weather." Nope, that's just whining. I've got to reach for those proverbial stars that dapple the sky! Think! Think... Acne? uh uh. Trends in polka dots? lame. Apple Dapple? I just wanted to say that; no idea what it means.
Well, I'm going to wave the white flag on this one folks. At least you learned new word today, right. Right?! Don't look at me like that! Oh, so now you suddenly have somewhere to be huh? Why are you running? There's no need for that. Come back! Oh please come back!!
Daaaamn yoooou Dappllllllle!!! (sob, sob, sob... sniffle)
Alrighty then, enough with the crazies. Tune in tomorrow for a word that will not induce insanity...if you dare.
OH! I almost forgot! I chose the above quote due to the multitude of fabulous possibilities of what could have possibly been between the "at" and "his" in that quote. What did they replace with the three dots?!!
"Look at (that filthy man with his hand in his pants staring in the general direction of) his cows..."
" Look at (the dreadfully dilapidated house with nothing but empty cans of spam and bottles of whiskey scattered about. The only thing keeping him from losing it and killing them all was) his cows... "
Do try this at home. "Look at (insert hilarious or troubling scenario here) his cows with their comic camouflage dapples..."
Enjoy.
