Rerun

Approximately 22% of the direct pageviews of this blog can be attributed to a May 2011 post dubbed "Ironic," which I self-refer herein: http://lifesometimescanbe.blogspot.com/2011/05/ironic.html. And, for your smartphone convenience, the picture, which even that, this blog can't take credit for:

Considering that a quarter of this blog's traffic has been intrigued with the potential torture and defeat of lobsters does not directly make you (in the universal sense) a crustacean-sadist. It also does not make me (in the direct sense) responsible for your entertainment. That can be attributed to the Main Lobster Game company: http://www.lobstergame.com/.

The source of the lobster vending machine website boasts many interesting lobster facts. For example, a FAQ posits the "Q": How do you know when your lobster is cooked? (When he stops moving.) [Real]A: When his tail is curled under and remains so.

Additionally, www.lobstergame.com supplies "income potential" figures for those wishing to invest in more than a single entree. An average restaurant or bar owner can make an additional $36,400 annually with just one machine in a well-located (i.e., lobster eating epicenter) venue.

Alas, it's the end of the month, and in an effort to maintain a blog a month, I pulled the cheap cord and returned to whack the lobster pinata.

From April through this past Monday, August 8, the Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art proffered "Art In the Streets", an exhibition about, yes, street art (not to necessarily be confused with and/or mistaken for graffiti). Banksy was a main attraction, and other artists featured included Shepard Fairey and Space Invader. The exhibit garnered the most traffic (201,352 visitors) of any of the museum's exhibits; the previous record was held by the Warhol exhibit (in 2002), proving that it's an era of a fresh 15 minutes in pop art. Monday attendances to the exhibit were free for anyone, sponsored by none other than Banksy himself, in the spirit that street art should not be commoditized; it is for the people (and, this blog dares, by the people). All in favor of an extra 15 for Banksy: We*!

*Blogs are commonly allocated a plural vote when it comes to matters of local import.
