Q: |
What kind of B++++y Foreigner are you referring to? Is it Breezy, Blousy, Bready or Barely perhaps? I am a foreigner and some of my best friend are aliens so I want to know what level of offence to take at this slur. |

Q: |
Is this broken pencil more suited to not drawing than not writing? |
|
11-Feb-06 |
|
|
A: |
For the record (a CD of Messiaen's Turangalila Symphony with Rattle twirling the baton), it is better suited to not drawing. |

Q: |
Where is the point? |
|
11-Feb-06 |
|
|
A: |
The point of the pencil is missing. The point of this advert is to sell something ridiculous. The point of this page as a work of conceptual art will need to be considered by the public and by (dare I say it) arts professionals (and critics etc.) to discover what the point is and indeed whether there actually is a point. Point taken? |

A: |
Dear 'spikeyviking' thank you for your off-beat remarks which are highly encouraging. Please keep in mind what all of the senior members of my family have been saying for the last thirty or so years, namely: 'don't encourage him!' In any case, good night and a very merry evening indeed. |

Q: |
Of every job an artist undertakes, whether it be writing a novel or planting a bush, he asks: 'What is this for?' rather than 'What will this bring me?' - What is this for? |

|
A: |
What is Beethoven's Eroica for? Well, that's a stupid question? It's for demonstrating good E flat writing, but back to the point... This certified object is a Churchillian enigma, a paradigm of exegesis (critical explanation or analysis) and furthermore it is its own solipsism. But enough of the long words already, its time for a cup of Koko (no reference to the Mikado intended). |

Q: |
Could it be a rare upside-down, left-handed broken pencil perchance? This would greatly affect the value to a collector such as myself. |

I think that you've been looking a little too closely at your monitor and have been fooled by the parallax of the trompe l'oeil cuased by my snappy snapshots. |

Q: |
Cripes! I didn't realise there was no paypal until I read the last question. That means I'm going to have to move my fat arse off the computer and go down to the postbox. I am allergic to outside. Perhaps I could get my mum to do it. |

Thank you for your comment which has been duly noted. |

Q: |
What is the nature of life (and of the universe in which we live)? And do you accept PayPal? |
|
10-Feb-06 |
|
|
A: |
(Easy) Life is a game of which you have to work out the rules on the hoof. The universe is where it all takes place... and no, I do not accept PayPal. |

Q: |
What is the proper aim of broken art? |
|
10-Feb-06 |
|
|
A: |
Some Art is so great that even when fragmented it has value running into seven (plus) figurines. 'My Sphinx has got no nose'. 'How does it smell'? 'Terrible'! But getting back to the point; you can simply leave the words 'broken' (& 'proper') out of your Q. and now you have posed the central question of meta-Art (basically, the Philosophy of Art) - What is the aim of art? And that answer merits a whole book. Let me know if you find such a tome (for weighty shall it be)! As for my trifle, it would have been classified by Duchamp as a Readymade (something I always used to confuse with an objet trouvé). Mercie pour votre attention et avoir un bon nuit divin. On dirait un croisement entre votre OuiOui et un kiwi. ...Bon, je serai bref. Je tenais juste à féliciter Sand et Ctrlz pour avoir eu le DEUG avec Docteur Poisson lui même. |

Q: |
If your pencil could write, what would it reveal? |

I am heartbroken I found the perfect thing and you want pounds , have none what about all the time I am going to have to spend explaining that this is not a terroist plot. |

|
A: |
GBP (formerly LSD) is what we use over here (call us old-fashioned) and until a World Currency is initiated to put an end to currency speculation currently running to a Trillion USD+ per day, it is upon which I will insist. Hoping that this makes cents & thanking you in advance for your inattention. |

Q: |
There is no need to guess regarding the merely decorative or otherwise of the pewter tankard, since it is being used to hold a broken pencil.
Please send the prize in unmarked £50 notes to my Wormwood Scrubbs address. |

Q: |
I have in my posession a propelling pencil with the propensity to perpetuate pap.
Is your product panacea or placebo? |

I refuse on grounds of unconsciousness caused by a local time of 04.55 to try to tongue twist my way out of a leading question set by someone with an I.Q. several cms higher than an Oxford Don. |

Q: |
As a broker(n) in broken(r) inscription instruments, I have to express my appreciation of your unique exhibit, however the council do feel at this stage that we have to express an interest in the greater whole. Without extending my stay of welcome, I wish to propose that we look at far more intrinsic elements associated with the unique concepts we choose to portray here. We have a broken 'quill' made from a real feather which dates back to 0902A.D. We have now developed broken writing to support the 'broken writing impliment' - we have recently taken delivery of a fine broken nib...we now have it on good authority that the nib is platinum....not explaining the lack of broken writing implements to deal with the situation....we are looking at all aspects of the 'broken communication means' to ensure we deliver what we promise... BTW, can I buy your 'pencil' for a tenner? |

01.15 is a little on the late side to try and focus on this kind of 'phenomenal' question. |
