Loading ...Getting Drunk On Your Donations 7
By Evan ~ March 31st, 2009. Filed under: donations.
Seth! You gave me money for being a popular online personality with a loud voice and an outlet! Thank you! I went to Whole Foods tonight and stocked up on some beers using the money you gave me. I got a bottle of Avery Maharaja Imperial India Pale Ale, a bottle of Hair Of The Dog Blue Dot Imperial India Pale Ale, and a bottle of Stone Cali-Belgique India Pale Ale. I guess you could say I’m in an IPA kind of mood. The Avery boasts a fat 10.5% ABV, while the other two hover around 7%. With any luck, I”ll be drunk in no time. Until then, please enjoy the music while your party is reached.

An Interview With Pat Regarding Marushka
EL: What is it about Marushka that really gets you hard?
PM: Wow. Well to be honest I don’t get hard. But do you want me to get hard about it? Well then, this is a fantastical interview. Unrealistic because i don’t have any sexual stimulation from Marushka whatsoever, but fantastical still.
EL: What is that you’re holding?
PM: My new Marushka. Very cool.
EL: And what is that exactly?
PM: It’s like, two…I don’t know what kind of birds they would be.
EL: Oh that’s a nice one, what’s that?
PM: Butterfly Marushka.
EL: I like how both prints use the same colors.
PM: Yeah, the colors are the most important things about Marushkas. …Now this one is the first ever — this one has been modified.
EL: What does that mean, modified?
PM: Someone made it 3-D. I don’t know if I’m going to like it.
EL: Oh, We looked at that one online together.
PM: Yes. Whoa…
EL: Packaged nicely. In a t-shirt! A free sleeveless t-shirt!
PM: Wow That is cool.
EL: I remember we thought that if we didn’t like it, you could always take out the stuffing from behind, and undo the stitches.
PM: Which I actually don’t think I could do, but I like it.
EL: Where’s that one gonna go?
PM: Look at that. It’s so powerful. We’ll see.
EL: Why Marushka?
PM: Why Marushka (laughing). Well, I believe a piece of art — whatever it is — should call itself to you. I was looking for art specifically, sort of, I don’t know, I’ve become somewhat of a collector I guess. Holy shit (walking into kitchen, looking at Nate’s fish dinner). It’s a very unpretentious, unchallenging, but rewarding style of art. It’s got time. It’s weathered. They look worn in. I like the level of worn-in they have. In the ’70s, these are what I would call trashy. Kind of. Not even. Now they’re just great reminders of a time that wasn’t so long ago, I guess.
EL: What would you say if I started collecting Marushka, too? Would you feel jealous or cheated?
PM: I think that’d be awesome. I think, uh — well my friend Robby D. back in Boston used to collect them too. We both independently started collecting these things. He used to be my roommate, and now I’m collecting these things too. I didn’t even know. It’s so weird.
EL: Well, kudos to Robby D and kudos to you, Pat.
PM: They really are great. I mean…they’re so harmless.
EL: Do you find it’s best to surround yourself in harmless art?
PM: Maybe. I mean, my mom’s art isn’t very harmless. My mom’s art is dark.
EL: Cool.
Later, we played Mario Kart as I continued drinking. Nate decided that since his lead is insurmountable, he would spend each race trying to thwart me. He succeeded. A quick look at our season standings shows that Pat is catching up to me very quickly. I’m disappointed in Nate. That’s very low of him, the fucker.
Now we’re going out to get more drunk at a local bar. Thanks, Seth!
