Just what you've always wanted! You can work on it while waiting for a wholesome meal at Cracker Barrel!

1. NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

7. lol...glad to be of service.

;)

12. this guy has to be a fundie, otherwise she wouldn't like him so much.

?

[antigone382]

14. Oh yeah...the fundies worship this guy...

"His art is so uplifting and positive and pretty!"

My old boss was an incredibly rich lady who went to one of those super-rich megachurches, and she absolutely worshipped this guy and his art.

(She was always kind to me, but definitely a RW republican)

2. Isn't that redundant?

Since -- except for the "highlights" -- even the "originals" are painted by Korean slave labor?

Someday, I'll guess, the Kinkade paint-by-numers sets will be worth more to collectors than the actual Kinkades.

As long as they are Mint In The Box! n/t

9. Reverse outsourcing, perhaps?

Get little old ladies over here to do them for free as a hobby, and sell them for a brazillion dollars to other little old ladies...it's kinda like a MLM craft-plan.

3. Excuse me, while I grab my spork and go stab out my eyes.

*stalks off*

5. Or you could do it while watching bad "sensual" documentaries.

Mmmm...hairy nipples...

Maybe they should make a documentary about tattooing people with Kinkade art.

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

11. Ugh...tattooed people get a bad enough rap.

It's bad enough that we have the "sensual" documentary giving us a bad name, but no Kinkade tattoos please. He's not the "painter of light;" he's the "painter of crap."

God, I still can't believe how bad that documentary was.

[antigone382]

15. I love 'em...I actually got my first one in February

It's just the outline, I didn't get it colored in because the guy that did it went...umm...back to prison.

And if you know anything about me, the fact that I got tattooed by a convict is really quite hysterical.

17. Haha...I took one of my former HS teachers to get her 1st.

My tattoo artist at the time is a pretty nice guy, but you just kind of have to get used to him. We're unlikely friends, basically. Anyway, I knew he'd have to be on good behavior to tattoo my teacher, so I laid down some rules for him:

1. Do not offer her cocaine.
2. Do not invite her to a threesome.
3. Do not tell her about the hot transexual you banged last week.

He still freaked her out a bit, but he abided by the rules. After she was tattooed and out of there, I told her the rules. She thought it was hysterical, but said she was happy I laid them out for him. Any of those things would have contributed to the anxiety of the tattoo, which she loves very much.

13. Kinkade tattoos! What a concept!

A lovely pastoral scene, a little cottage -- tattooed on your ass.

Someone, somewhere, will do it.

[antigone382]

16. LOL, just for shits and giggles!

...oooh...maybe that wasn't the best choice of words, there. :evilgrin:

[Rabrrrrrr]

4. Don't even get me started.

[antigone382]

6. I knew you'd appreciate this thread...

Now how many do you want for Christmas? I'll even write you a poem to go with them.

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Give me any prime number of them.

And make sure your poem rhymes and is in iambic pentameter.

[antigone382]

10. Sure thing...I'll record it for you, with Slipknot in the background...

btw, aren't you and Mrs. Matcom having a heavy-metal wedding?
