It just never ends does it? If I had a kid at AU he'd be out of there this afternoon!

[Semper Paratus]

This and other reasons why I no longer contribute to AU.

Although the student journalist at The Eagle describes Ms. Sprinkle as an artist, the young lady fails to mention that the art that the veteran performer has performed is just that—performance art. Her NEA-funded performance art involved pouring chocolate sauce on herself and then covering the base with bean sprouts. Maybe that’s why this federally-funded human sundae got an appropriation: Her props were vegetarian.

Yuck... bean sprouts.

My girl will be a 16 year-old freshman in the fall. I'm gettin' really worried. At least she's not going to AU!

Anne Sprinkle is the poster child for why the National Endowment for the Arts should be rubbed out. And, as I recall, her performance art of the 70's was not as innocuous as covering herself in chocolate sauce and sprouts. What a prostitute. I am sure most of them wish they could get the tax payer funded grants she has gotten for her swill.

[BadAndy]

She should change her name to Annie Jiggles.

[Cruising Speed]

I saw her show (and a lot more) some years ago--it is mostly a women's lib thing. Decadent, yes, but I didn't detect any hatred or left-wing bias--she was non-political.

I don't think the arts need any Federal subsidy--they can succeed or fail on their own just like any other endeavor.

Unfortunately Mr. Kline isn't accurate. The chocolate sauce-bean sprout thing was the act of another of the controversial NEA grantees, Karen Finley. Sprinkles' act included a speculum and an invitation to the audience to come up and take a look.

I'm not going there!

Yep, checked out her cervix.

[ozzymandus]

Annie Sprinkle? Wow, that's a blast from the past! She must be in her 60s by now. Didn't she have a live-sex act where she and her male partner threw up on each other? Your tax dollars at work.

Universities=pits of depravity.

[Lurker]

I met Annie a couple of times. She was a very nice lady.

[Lurker]

As I said below I met her a couple of times. In person she's really very sweet. She's also not your average brain dead lib.

And no I will not disclose any further details of the meetings, not here anyway. Suffice it to say the autographed pic I have of her sure brings back some memories.

That and when that woman throws a party, she knows what she's doing. L

Excuse me... I 'gotta take a whiz.

How many days from base camp was that expedition?

[Thunderchief F-105]

....actually, she already changed her name....! she was born in 1954, if I recall, and her real name is/was Ellen Steinburg.... she is bisexual, something few folks even know..... her website identifies her as a "Ph.D" - wonder what field of study that was in....!!(Ph.D." - Piled Higher and Deeper....!")

Objection, calls for speculumation...
