Wednesday, July 16, 2008

Anne Van Alkemade for this:
Protest
I’m trapped in a world
of convention,
And to whom can I mention
My days and nights
are wakeful,
How long do I have to
take this bull,
I long for endess (sic)
sleep,
To see around, people
weep,
They are false, shells,
nothing,
I long not to be nothing
but something,
All my life, eccentricity
wrong,
To no one ever I
belong,
On my slow and normal
death,
With my gasping last
breath,
Convention to hell,
Mention to no one,
Pretention you are,
No longer I run
.

In the begining....

....there was Redbubble.

And Redbubble decided there would be groups, and it was good.
There were poetry groups, writing groups, photographic groups, drawing groups, tshirt groups and vector groups.

And then along came a man with a vision - for a group that would be not the biggest, nor the most popular group or the most obscure group ...... it would be the best group!

So the Parody, Satire and Lampoon collective was formed, and they came.
And the word came down that they should take the piss and they did and it was good.

They then became A.R.S.E and it was better!

And then they were called to battle against plagiarism here, and it was won and it was good - pushed out in a sweeping generalisation here - and again they rallied and it was good.

Cathie Tranent

Cathie T Hostess with mostess of *A.R.S.E

Twisted humouress










**Cathie says: "Just in case I start believing my publicity, here's a little profile Mr Nolan did on me last year .... nothing like a little piss taking to restore normality!! ;p


Ronnie Purcell emailed this to me last week and I wasn’t quite sure why?
I think it was a call for help.

Cathie T is an exceptional artist, writer and photographer, she deserves to be sainted and possibly given a Nobel Peace Prize.

I am writing this because if I don’t Cathie T who is on the other side of my office door will refuse to leave if I don’t. Not only won’t she leave but if I try and make a any effort to depart she will beat me within an inch of my life with the large baseball bat she is brandishing.

I can hear her outside dragging it on the floor talking to her self. Repeating things like:

“I am proud
I am an artist
recognise me or
I’m remove your pelvis”

And

“Ronnie, Ronnie
write me in a story
if not all they’ll find
will be red and gory”

Frightening stuff really.
I’m starting to wonder if she had anything to do with the disappearing animal’s from the zoo.

She is from Adelaide you know?

Cathie T was born on Christmas day in a stable just outside of Nazareth, her closet friends were sheep…….
…..Hang on I got side tracked It sounds like she’s peeling the plasterboard off the wall .

Start again..

Cathie T was the only daughter of Santa Clause and Mary Christmas who grew up with elves and pixies and wild reindeer…
….. sorry, I keep stuffing up. I do believe she’s eating the books from the waiting room book case.

This whole born on the 25th of December has got me rattled.

Cathie T is a lovely person who encourages others and lives life to the fullest. Check out her portfolio it is full of stuff.

Now if I can only get to a phone and call the cops I might see Christmas as well.

Oh no… damn…. She found the cat.

It's finally arrived!!

TOURETTES


Hanging in the playground


Talking to my friends


Thinking we were all the same


With familiar trends



Telling different stories


Of our Mothers plight


How they handled stressful times


Or when they’re in a fight
One girl starts to tell her tale


With big round ogle eyes


Her Mum once Yelled out “BLOODY”


In an angry screechy cry



Another told her Mothers tale


One night while in a fit


Threw her arms up in the air


Screaming the word “SHIT”!



A third girls Mum is more creative


In her verbal land


Yelling certain cursing words


About the holy man



As the tales got round to me


I broke in to a sweat


These girls


Can’t come back to my house cause…..I think,


My Mum has got Tourette’s!



ROAD RAGE


Slow cars


Busy highways


Car blinkers OFF


When moving sideways


Everyday I go insane


When driving next toSHIT FOR BRAINS!


Why can’t you be considerate?


Get off the road, you IDIOT!


Avoiding mums in 4 wheel drives


Old bags with thier blinding eyes


Hateful words bounce from my lips


With temper tantrum yelling slips


Here comes that twinge back in my neck


I’m a road rage psycho angry wreck


When in my car my brain goes hazy


Incompetence will make you crazy


Thank goodness we are finally here


Give me a kiss, I love you dear


Remember to abide my rule


Be fair and nice in play at school

ATOMIKBOY



A man his sissors and his magazines. I don't think there is anyone on Red Bubble who makes art like Atomikboy.

The detail he goes to and achieves is remarkable in this age of Photoshopping pictures.

This is a fraction of his vast portfolio.














Welcome to Choice Pieces of A.R.S.E - the work of the amazing artists of Redbubble.com's Parody, Satire and Lampoon Group!
