No Frills Lateshift

Mmm, all this talk of feral bread-tearing and the like has inspired me to get my soup on. Get this... With three slices of bread.

No butter. Just bread, my hands, maybe a spoon, a bowl and some vegetables with spices and a high water content.

Man and nature. As it was meant to be.

22:46 / 18.02.05

Oh. The bread has seeds in it too.

22:46 / 18.02.05

Man and nature means you're running through the forest, catching a rabbit in your teeth then eating its still beating heart from its insides. At least thats how we celebrate easter..

22:48 / 18.02.05

Bread is the plinth upon which the filling, the true art of the sandwich, is displayed.
Bead Head, are yo telling me yo don't like art?!?

22:48 / 18.02.05

The bread I have at home has oatmeal in it. Which, the more I think about it, the more it just seems like I should only eat it for breakfast.

22:49 / 18.02.05

Keggers, that's the st. swithens day celibration. Easter is the one where everyone gets together to see who can bite the heads off of the most love chicks in a quater of an hour. Remember?

22:51 / 18.02.05

Solitaire, damn you!

With your mention of "oat", you've set my mind on porridge...

22:52 / 18.02.05

Bwa-ha-ha! I have derailed you now!

Soon, I'll be able to talk the whole lot of you into making me pancakes!

22:53 / 18.02.05

.....or crumpets......yes, crumpets..... with a nice cup of tea....

22:54 / 18.02.05

pancakes be the food of the devil see. A snack so flat can ney be godly.

22:55 / 18.02.05

Lekvar: I just don’t dig safe, corporate art which comes served on a plate, possibly with a doily or somesuch. To each their own, but I prefer my bread to be spontaneous and dangerous and challenging. Just like real art should be.

22:55 / 18.02.05

So....if pancakes are evil, I give myself over to the darkside. The dark side with BLACKBERRY SYRUP!

22:56 / 18.02.05

We have no crumpets here in the Middile of the US. What coudl I use as a substitute?

22:57 / 18.02.05

I prefer my bread to be spontaneous and dangerous and challenging

But you weren't there in 67 man! You don't know what it's like!

22:59 / 18.02.05

You've never had one of MY sandwiches then, BH. Bold! Audacious! Daring!

My sandwich earned Honorable Mention at the Sundance Sandwich Festival. The critics raved, I tell you.

22:59 / 18.02.05

Solitaire, not the blackberry syrup. The sugar and lemon juice can at least be redeemed. I beg you, go no further!

23:04 / 18.02.05

Off to the gym. You kids behave while I'm gone!

23:08 / 18.02.05

The spirit of 67 lives on every time I dunk a non-corporate, freeform hunk of bread in my revolutionary soup, man.

Lekvar, I’m intrigued, but I feel perhaps the sandwich is inescapably tainted with its oppressive imperial associations. Unless you’ve used the sandwich form to present a critique of that history, of course. Which would be interesting...

23:14 / 18.02.05

I use the sandwich to appropriate the primal bread-with-filling from the trappings of modern consumer culture. I realize that appropriation has come under fire recently as means of legitimate protest/guerrilla art, but my "Still Life With Sammich" (from the book of the same name) attempts to redefine the article in question, raising it from cheap commodified fodder to a work of love, of the sort that a mother might give to her young.

23:17 / 18.02.05

Sandwich sandwich sandwich.. its all I hear... What about a good soup?

23:19 / 18.02.05

Soup is good too.

23:23 / 18.02.05

yes.. soup is wonderous. Chicken and rice soup especially.

23:25 / 18.02.05

I need more music. Im getting tired of the mp3s I currently have. sigh.

23:31 / 18.02.05

It’s exactly this kind of artificial distinction between bread and soup that I’m trying to break down with my rejection of the sandwich. The free bread goes *in* the soup, with the aid of a living, breathing, thinking, feeling human being.

Vaguely feel like starting a thread called ‘Resistence bap/mop’ now. Were this joke not so thoroughly played out already.

23:35 / 18.02.05

Hit...posting...limit....

Clawed....back......

Jokes.....never....run....course....

Barbelith..........way.......

HCE

GPWM.

GPWM? What the heck is that supposed to mean?

HCE

Gazpacho Perpetuates Worldwide Machismo

23:51 / 18.02.05

Ooookay.... thats just plain odd.

23:53 / 18.02.05

You’re the one who came up with the ‘no frills’ topic abstract, dude.

Evening all. Give me a reason not to fire up SimCity and I'm yours.

23:57 / 18.02.05

Almost like the real thing.

The real thing of finding a a scary armadillo-like breeding facility just.. over... there... would that be?
