Primitive pottery, eh? Any a youse guys try this? Y’know if I wasn’t so damned lazy and shiftless and good for nothing… I’d try it!
Of course like everyone else - I need another cup or mug like a hole in the head. I periodically have to gather up all the strays and throw them out! My preferred coffee cups are blue enameled tin like ya see Sheriff Matt Dillon and Festus drinking out of all the time.
This is the proper cup for proper coffee.
Strong enough to float a horse shoe.
Black.
Decanted right from the pot or jerry can.
Errr… up your ass, Starbucks!
But there IS something alluring about these outhouse pottery pieces. I might consider making a chamber pot, maybe…?
🤔
The mental midgets on the Bored of Education insisted that the school have art class. We were assigned this clay pot stuff, and mine turned into an ash tray. The genius sitting next to me had his explode in the kiln, which ruined two or three of the pots next to his - much to our amusement.
ReplyDeleteSo no, I wouldn't try this. For one thing mine wouldn't come out looking anything like a pot, or cup, or pitcher. For another, and maybe more to the point, if the material retains any moisture or air bubbles, it explodes in the fire.
So include moisture and air bubbles in every pot, ashtray and platter you are forced to make...
DeleteWhich is pretty much what happened in our art class. Then some little genius put a .45 in the kiln...
Delete"I have an announcement to make, and I want all of you to pay attention. (long pause while the retards settle down) Some put a bullet in the kiln, and as a result we won't be using the kiln anymore."
Dead silence while the student digest this, followed by suppressed laughter.
"This isn't funny, (choke, laugh) this is dangerous. Someone could have been badly hurt, maybe even killed. If the bullet hit the propane tank, it would have exploded and set the school on fire."
Mike Peezely, AKA Weasel, in soto voice, "We couldn't be that lucky." This cause Dave Sass and I to turn red and choke.
"Bill? David? You think this is funny?"
"No," Dave said. I couldn't trust myself to speak.
So we got a lecture from the Art teacher, the Principal and Ass. Principal, and some of us were questioned individually - who put the bullet in the furnace - but nobody is talking. Eventually they dropped it.
I have two of the Proper Cups. D
