Okay, well I thought it was funny. Why are you looking at me like that?
:3eye:

Yes, it's funny.
1-Because someone considers that art, but I guess that's subjective.
2-It's true, that is not a drill. It's a drill motor which is one of the many ways to turn a drill.
3-It's a clever word play, using a phrase that is usually used in serious scenarios, in a whimsical piece.
4-Because I'm as twisted as you are, without being beat up by hurricanes. :haha:

Huh? I don't really get this one. :confused:


It's a spoof of an old piece of art by Magritte, called "This is Not a Pipe."

Actually, it was a play off Magritte's "This is not a Pipe" piece, but, eh...

Clodfobble should be ashamed for getting it. Heh.

:biggrin:

I hate the "This is not a Pipe" piece, as in a class we were expected to have a lengthy discussion on the implications and importance of the revolutionary painting. A debate errupted for an hour on whether or not it was a pipe, perception of the piece, the contradiction, etc. Ugh.

The only piece of Magritte's that I ever found interesting was "The Lovers II," because it was the first one of his that I saw and it utterly disturbed me.

Often when a serious threat to life and limb occurs in the movies and occasionally in real life, the person in charge will say “This is not a drill”, to remind people there is a real threat.Well ugly people want to date too, ya know. :D

The sweet touch of a burlap-sack kiss. Oh, how I've missed it.

Aha! I get it now! :lol: That other definition of "drill" hadn't even occurred to me.

Oh good god, it took two people to get my bad joke. Thats it, I'm going to bed! ;)

If it had said, "This is not a drill, people!" I probably would have gotten it. In case you were looking to tweak your act before touring the comedy-club circuit. :)

hence the ready availability of beer in the world.

No need to tweak, they're too drunk and I'm just filling in between strippers. ;)
