Super Space-Age SHAG Event

As those of you who aren't in a furrin' country or standing in line at Disneyland might be aware, there is a big SHAG soiree coming up here in DC that I am attempting to gain entrance to. (It will be held at Good Eye, purveyors of space-age decor.) While I am currently busy collecting shriner and hula costumes on eBay, there is another admission invite glomming contest that perhaps you Cranks could participate in:

Contest #2
We all have our favorite SHAG painting, but what about the scenes that we wish he would paint? Email us with your idea for his next masterpiece. While we can't guarantee it will be painted, Good Eye will choose our favorite response and try to bring it to life in The Pleasure Seekers Lounge.

If you win, I'll take pictures and post them here.

Just a reminder that this time-honored art form should be left to the professionals.

On the CD Player Today:

Unchained; Solitary Man; The Man Comes Around; Greatest Hits, Volume One and At Folsom Prison.

I'm considering fining Andrew a round for having Johnny Cash on his dead pool list. Any arguments pro or con?
