Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 19, 2021

Ooh! World’s biggest spork. Get a picture!

okay… O_o

Huh? I thought CTN got a glowing review.

Lio walked out without seeing the salad sculpture.

Monumental eating utensils (spoons, forks, etc.) are frequent subjects of pop sculptors. The great husband/wife collaborative sculptors Claes Oldenburg and Coosje van Bruggen made several, usually as outdoor placements. Context is everything: Sometimes a fork is tines-down in the shallows of a lake… or it might be tines- up and leaning against a building.

One of my favourite books is a history of metallurgy, which would not normally be an engaging subject but the author’s passion just shone through every word. Very little in life is utterly boring if you have the right attitude to it.

Well… I for one would be very interested in the history of culottes… Past, present and future… One of the sexiest items of apparel, in my opinion…

This exists:

He may have found it boring, but the MOTUB got his money anyway, didn’t they?

No giant ball of string or rubber bands?

Would a cow museum be udderly boring?

He would love the Mütter Museum.

So, Tatulli isn’t familiar with Michael Faraday’s classic “Chemical History of a Candle”? Fascinating.

Only a few days ago, I watched a video on illumination that has an interesting segment on candles, as it happens.https://youtu.be/tURHTuKHBZs

fortnight ago i got a hankering for some lost-wax bronze whatnot to jazz up a few shelves..

When you come to the spork in the road, take it.

Hope Lio can tunnel out of that museum.

Good Title but it still could be fun…..

If you have the right communicator, just about anything can be interesting.

But the history of the Sans-Culottes would be quite revolutionary!

The director’s cut of today’s offering had Lio looking at a Funky Winkerbean strip.

When I went there I saw someone painting a wall. I wasn’t sure if it was an exhibit or work being done but several of us stood there for hours watching the paint dry.

Reminds me of Bert on “Sesame Street” reading a book titled “Boring Stories.” Yet he was excited.

I’m liking all the responses so far. They don’t qualify to be in any exhibit of boring things. Applause for the pursuit of knowledge.

I’d be surprised if there isn’t a giant spork somewhere.

I’ll bet the golf section takes up half the building!

I don’t think I’d heard of culottes until I was in college… which is funny, because I grew up in a conservative environment.
