Basic Instructions by Scott Meyer for July 15, 2010

Is this the modern art sculpture that they’re talking about, the original Fountain by Marcel Duchamp, 1917?

I have a friend who loves discussing how he could throw together a terrorist cell that could wreck the U.S. rail system overnight. He’d never do it; he just likes thinking about the logistics.

I think Scott has him topped.

Excuse me, gotta take a leak….

I was hoping for a plausible plan for the early demise of SHE WHO MUST BE OBEYED. Click to Dick Tracy..

This strip is actually not far from the truth.

Ironically, the original Marcel Duchamp “Fountain” was lost - probably thrown out - so the ones we see on display today are artist-authorized reproductions produced between 1950 and 1964.

And then just blend in to the crowd.

rayannina,

Your friend must work for Amtrak. So far I’d say they were pretty successful at wrecking the U.S. rail system.

Sheik—I know I’ve seen that one somewhere before! In fact, if I remember right, it was unusually refreshing…

Ha! Ha! Ha! Did Ric guy get a new do?

I committed the perfect crime, but I can’t say anything about it because nobody noticed that it happened. I also keep a copy of the Evil Overlord List in my criminal hideout.

I would put the urinal aside and steal the dog. If I had enough steak and doggy treats [and padded suits] back in my criminal lair, I would win him over, eventually. Besides, what would BookLADY do with a urinal?
