Friday, January 22nd, 2010
Yes, I came across this portrait of our 40th President at the very end of the White House tour, but that doesn’t mean it wasn’t destiny.
Hail Ian!
Friday, November 27th, 2009
Ian is in the band, Deville. He also looks like this statue of Caeser, which gained considerable poularity after Laura mimed it in Caesar’s Palace. There is pretty much nothing else about Ian that I would like you to know at this point.
Hail Laura!
Sunday, November 22nd, 2009
I’ve really been into user-generated content lately, so I was extremely pleased when Laura sent me this mime from Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas. Three stars for the mime and another half star for navigating the Vegas crowds to find a piece of historical art.
That being said, I’d much rather have a mime of that strange little naked man-child thing holding onto Caesar’s leg.

It may be hard to believe, but this is the only known photo of man doing an impression of Kiefer Sutherland doing a mime of Chief Seattle.
The Trouble with MimeFest
Thursday, August 13th, 2009
Nice maneuver, Lins! I award you 10 bonus points for name manipulation. Unfortunately, I’m going to have to dock you 10,000 for lack of sword, hat, beard, boots, early 1800s attire, and binoculars, and of course, for never having been the personal adviser to General Ulysses Grant like the real John Rawlins.
10-10,000= -9,990
Better luck next time!

Super Avoidance
Sunday, August 2nd, 2009
It’s been six months, and I’m finally ready to start talking about Arizona Cardinals football again. I don’t feel entirely bad about stepping away; even this painter doesn’t want to approach the topic of whether Santonio Holmes actually had both feet on the ground when he caught the go-ahead touchdown pass in the Super Bowl.
Like Father, Like Pinocchio
Monday, July 27th, 2009I’m a real boyyyyyyyyyyy
One of my favorite memories from our recent trip to St. Louis was visiting Citygarden, a downtown oasis full of lush plantings and impressive sculptures, which, in addition to a system of 102 water fountains known as “Splash Plaza” (aka “hookworm central”, in the background), features a 14′ 7-1/2″ painted bronze statue of Pinocchio that is perfect for public miming.
Michael Dunfest: Birthday Edition
Monday, July 13th, 2009
Great timing, Michael. I’ve been looking for new opportunities to “cowboy up” before my next birthday.
