I have come out of my cave of being an internet has-been to purchase this. I have the winning bid.

Roll your eyes all you want - I think this drawing is important.

I was there for the original thread, and the SA forums of that time period formed my dumbass sense of humor. That single piece of art, with the jaunty leg tilt, crotch bulge, and unorthodox card handling technique, has brought me more joy than just about any weird internet thing I've ever encountered. It's pure art - drawn by someone with genuine intent to contribute to a collaborative internet project, and like a fuckin herald of the cesspool internet to come, that project flamed out as internet strangers from around the world came together to dunk hard on it. It's one of the earliest examples of how a bunch of anonymous strangers with mixed intentions collaboratively created something far greater than the sum of its parts, and must be preserved.

This drawing and the ideas it inspired brought people together. It continues to do so. The artist claimed that dumb gently caress $150,000 banana taped to a wall is worth that much because of the "idea" of it. If so, then what is the endless fount of inspiration that this drawing represents worth?

Like the balls on the edge of the cliff, forever appearing and knocking the next one down, Johnny Five Aces will go on forever motherfuckers.

I eagerly anticipate receiving this, getting it properly framed, and lending it out to any art exhibits of internet ephemera that might happen to pop up.

people paying off debts is bad for corporations. Much better to have people making minimum payments forever just to keep up with interest.

That's not the worst part. The worst part is that he couldn't even be bothered to bid an extra 69 cents. Breaking the $3420.69 bid price for nothing.

Poseidon was god of the seas and storms for a group of people that lived largely on islands, coasts, and peninsulas. If anything Hades was the lame-rear end brother.

E:

Also he's the god of horses which seems like a weird add-on to his divine portfolio, but I didn't make the rules.

I looked it up and apparently he made a horse on a challenge?

"When Poseidon desired Demeter, she asked Poseidon to create the world's most beautiful animal in an attempt to cool off his advances. As a result, Poseidon created the first horse and also became the God of horses. In some versions of this story, several other types of animals were created before the horse as a result of Poseidon's several unsuccessful attempts. By the time the horse was created, Poseidon's passion for Demeter had waned."
