Toronto Trim's Hotel Cum Drop-in Centre

[NotFromHere]

Three paintings created in 1957 by a chimp named Congo were auctioned in London. While works by Renoir and Andy Warhol didn't sell, the chimp's art did.

LONDON - Monkey business proved to be lucrative Monday when paintings by Congo the chimpanzee sold at auction for more than $25,000.

The sale price surpassed predictions that priced the paintings between $1,000-$1,500.

“We had no idea what these things were worth,” said Howard Rutkowski, director of modern and contemporary art at Bonhams. “We just put them in for our own amusement.”

Amusement? Or evil plot?

His artwork provoked reactions ranging from scorn to skepticism among critics of the time, but Pablo Picasso is reported to have hung a Congo painting on his studio wall after receiving it as a gift.

Uh, why don't you ask him for it, and offer to return the keys, after a few weeks? If you don't need the passport, no reason to do it immediately. Jesus.

I do think you should fuck Less, though. Wheelbarrow style.

When we have the Shifters, you will win the Most Improved Poster Award. Congratulations. Not exaclty an overnight success but it shows what a lot of hard work can do for you.

Especially if there is no traffic, there's a line up behind you, and the fucking light is five minutes long (I timed it).

People in this state should be grateful that I don't really believe in carrying firearms.

1. What happened to driving over them?

2. You have people who actually don't turn right on red? Here people drive right through the light, regardless of a sign barring right on red, the requirement of stopping first, cross traffic, pedestrians, or police.

Just remember if you are ever driving in this city, god forbid, that it's against the law here to turn right on red.

I do not believe that failure to abide by this law would result in one's suspension from the bar though.

Easy now. Before you set yourself up for a big fall, remember, a guy who climbed Mt. Everest somehow wasn't up to her standards.

What's your most impressive acomplishment again?

Why would sunny, a slave caliber narcissist, dump someone in her Spinster Year? Makes no sense.

I realized I had a damn better time while he was gone and was downright annoyed as shit within 10 minutes of his return. My only regret is I could have been finding a new piece of ass during the three months he was gone.

She is a cougar already. I thought you were avoiding our club? Welcome to the tribe! Just think, after another five or six years of stalking, obsessing and breaking and entering, you will be mantrapping in no time. See ya in Branson!

Because honey, not everyone freaks out like you when they turn 30.

Did anyone here know Paigs before she was 30?

When I was a kid I used to spend hours with my parents in Canadian Tire (like Home Depot). My parents really love me but I thought the experience was highly overrated. If only Canada had Target.

Because I love you, gwinky:

Of course not.

That's like asking if anyone here remembers a time when she wasn't fat.

I'm not a lawyer, but I figured I should post this here to get some reactions from lawyers, since I was dating one for awhile and I wanted to know if this is normal for you guys.

So, I'm dating this lawyer chick. She's all wound up, man. I'm a pretty laid back guy and I dig her, but she's kind of intense, you know? Here is an example. I have this modest lunchbox collection. You know, nothing special, just a few boxes I bought that reminded me of my childhood. Something fun.

This chick seizes on it like it is my life, man. I mean she is on a mission to collect every lunchbox that has ever been produced, buying me lunchboxes like crazy all the time. I mean, how about a nice, new shiny carabiner or something for my birthday? Not a chance. Now I store my boxers in an A-Team lunchbox and my flour in a Casper box. I'm not even going to say what I keep in the mint Leave it to Beaver lunchbox.

And if it isn't lunchboxes, it's fucking horses. I like horses. They seem cool enough. I even went to a Dude Ranch once. But if I have to hear one more word about horses, man, I'm going to flip right the fuck out. Saddles. Bits. Brushes. Who cares, man? I mean, I like sniffing glue as much as the next guy, but that's about as close as I get to horsies as an adult.

Plus, she's a little nutty. She throws me this big party, which is cool, I must admit. But then she flips out because I don't go and pick up my own cake. Then she gets all self-righteous on me and reminds me over and over again that she is doing all of this for me and I should appreciate it. I would have preferred a cupcake and a candle with just the two of us, man. But she has to make a big thing out of it and then gets all worked up. Now I have to pull out the extra lunchbox seats for these guests and pick up a cake and shit. She has three cars, man. Use one and get the cake. I'll be over here drinking beer out of my Dukes of Hazzard lunchbox.

So, I need a break. I mean a serious break. I decide to get as far away from her physically and mentally as possible for awhile without visiting the moon, you know? Everest. She could not possibly bother me when I'm up there man. I don't even like climbing, but I am seriously looking forward to this and I figure I am qualified because I am already climbing the walls, dude.

While I'm up there, my mind is clear, man. I mean, I can see clearly now and I don't have someone yapping and complaining in my ear about this and that. "I'm so cute." "You really should appreciate all I do for you." "Pick this up." "Put that down." "Hand me that saddle." "Put this lunchbox with the rest." None of that. And she is not even that cute, dude.

So, when I get back, I think maybe things will be better. Maybe she'll stop being so controlling, you know? I test out my theory by saying I would like to see some of my friends, who I have missed while I was away. No big deal, right? We're just going to play golf. Well, it interferes with something she already planned (not the homecoming party she planned for me and 100 of her friends), so she flips out. Plus, it looks like she gained a few while I was gone (four pounds, my ass).

So she wants to break up with me? Ain't that a bitch, man? Telling me I'm selfish for spending money to do something very few people in the world can say they have done. I could have been feeding orphans or something with that money. Is she joking, dude? She has three cars and 36 horses. Does she post here? Has she mentioned how much her saddles cost?

But I am out. Free. Gone. Life is good. At least I think so until
I go to the drawer to burn that bitch's passport. (Why she keeps it here to begin with, I will never know.) Of course, it's gone. Seems she snuck into my house, like a lunatic and took it. But at least she returned the key. I wonder how many copies she has.

Is this normal for lawyer chicks? I like your income, but are you all as batshit crazy as this? I need to know because I'm going out on a date with this paigow girl and I think she's a lawyer too.

Thanks in advance.

"Anon"

Hi, ANon. Congrats on the passive-aggresssive breakup. Its nice to let the dumpee feel like the dumper. And now you get to put the Playboy collection back out on the coffeetable. Without the Highlights Magazine covering it up.

Here is my question. Is "golf" an euphemism for strip clubs, mushrooms and paid in full blowjobs? Just wondering.

If she is face up on the bed, then I must say, in the parlance of the yoga language, that is a classic finishing posture and by no means a contortion.

It does finish nicely. You never want to finish from behind. If you're a romantic like me, that is.
