ROCK THE SALT
A fine Bonneville painting for sale:
This image might be a little cheaper, seeing as it lacks a Bluebird and all:
Via Randall B. It’s impossible to thank Iowahawk enough for organising this year’s Bonneville trek; I’ve dreamed of visiting that holy zone for decades, and Iowahawk just plain made it happen. Thanks also to the Iowahawkwife and Hawkspawn, who are angelic. Next year: as Gaia is my witness, we will see Iowahawk racing on the salt.
Well, you know what? I think I’ll organize my own Bonneville Salt Flat race. But I’ll only invite a very few people. Maybe paco. Crittenden. A few others.
Then I’ll give everyone a minute by minute update, providing in detail how much fun we’re having and everyone else left out is not having. We’ll stoke those fires of jealousy.
Yeah, that’s what I’ll do.

I see that vast ocean of salt and all I can think about is the number of margaritas you could make.
I am sooooo hopeless.
Pass the salt please.

He had a heck of a time convincing Goodman and Goody Farnsworth, whose pumpkin crop was inadvertently crushed by the Tardis landing on it, that he wasn’t a witch.

First of all, before you and your crew got involved they were actual lakes, not salt lakes. Secondly, last time you got caught up with salt, some bloke by the name of Mohandas caused a great deal of trouble for the British Empire. Enough is enough, let Blair have this one.
Regarding the second image - Sotheby’s have been receiving an alarming amount of interest from someone calling herself “Golden Ratio”. Apparently she’s a huge collector of outsider art.

Blair, I told you Jesus topic is important. Do you recall my memos to you?

Virgin Mary in burqa ‘not offensive’
Blair is definitely on a tilt.
#30 Howdy 1.6 - a lot of that artwork is pretty worthless, but would be willing to take any Emily Kngwarrye off your hands for my bark collection.

A ha! So it was you! I’ll have you know that my so called “convincing” involved being placed on trial in neighboring Salem and submitted to several trials by torture. Fortunately, we RWDB’s are trained to pass the trial by fire and trial by water things.
(wronwright realizes that Andrea has an amazing resemblance to Meridith Maypole, that blasted winch that first yelled “he’s a witch, burn him!” when I walked into the tavern)

On a trip back east, stopped at the Mormon Tabernacle in Salt Lake City.
The Tabernacle gas a solid gold statue on the peak of the dome, the Archangel Gabriel blowing his trumpet (AKA “The Last Trump”
While in the courtyard, the girl I’m with starts yelling “don’t jump mister!” at said statue.
Major blasphemy. I entertain visions of slow, agonizing death in the desert at he hands of outraged Mormons.
“Jesus! Shut the fuck up, will you? These people are serious about this shit, ok?”
Hurried departure followed.
