    The art world scrambles to make room for Nora and Marshall, students of the About as Much Complexity as a Sack of Wet Mice School.

    I’ll have you know at “AaMCasSoWMS” we are proud of our halls smelling like wet mice and our art work is wonderfully accepted by the local cats. And our mascot is a big white mouse that we drench with water every now and then during our football games. :D

    I just drew a big sad face with crayon – it symbolizes my being sad about the economy.

    Two people put there heads together to come up with this.

    What would they’ve done if the economy tanked in January?

    Ah, once again, art fulfills its role in further upsetting consumer confidence. What the hell happened to optimistic expression? Effing miserable irony addicts.

    Shoulda done it with jello. Way more interesting. This just seems like a waste of water.
