That's more like it. I can see why TLC got that feeling at the museum. But let's not stop there, let's go all the way: jelloboy.com

Man, I saw some stuff at the Met one time I was there that was radical. I wish I could recall what it was exactly. It was the culture that preceded Greeks I think, I can't recall. Anyway, they had this sarcophagus and some other stuff at the Met that was astounding. The word Mycenean comes to mind. I don't know if that is correct. But for sculpture, I gotta say Michaelangelo was pretty friggin' good. You have to see the stuff in real life to really appreciate it. I mean, there are veins in the hands, cuticles on the fingers, the dude was crisp with his execution. The painting I remember the best at the Met was this little painting by Jan Van Eyck. About a foot high and about 8" wide, with about a hundred people in it and every one of them looked alive. Rembrandt was good too. This is cool. I feel better. cOUSIN SHORTY is being quiet. I hope that's good. heh heh.

Oh, John, I remembered another thing. At the Met. If you ever go there, you GOTTA go check out the Roman stuff. The Romans made these buttons. They took glass and melted it and made these thin strands like hairs of glass. Then the bundled the strands together and melted them, and then sliced them. Kinda like that Christmas candy that has designs in it that go all the way through the candy. Anyway these things are astounding. You look at them and you wonder what dude did that, you know? What guy made that. That guy was good. I'll see if I can find pictures of this stuff. Beats yapping at punk attorneys.
