Nobody on the package is holding a ping pong paddle, so I'm pretty sure this is for beer pong. Also the fact that this was located in the chaser soft drink aisle.
Featuring Carmen Sandiego, Dorothy Gale, and a MAGA guy.
Kudos to the writer for creating 4 bullets that just repeat the text to fill out space. PowerPoint expert?
Match the following toilets (with accompanying Supreme Court Justices) to their respective locations. The background, political leanings and ethnic background of the justices are not relevant to the answers.
Sometimes an art collection outgrows a gallery and must be moved to a facility that can handle its space requirements. The recent acquisition of "Debargo," the seventh addition to the renowned "The Blackberry Face" series has made it necessary to find a new gallery to house the master works.
"Debargo" is a beautiful new piece, captured in Midtown New York and donated to the EADJ Gallery by James and Hillary Fallopian of the Fallopian Foundation. This seventh piece has made it necessary to find a new home for the collection when the curator found that the East Gallery could barely display the previous six pieces without causing a fire hazard.
"Debargo" depicts a middle aged man of unknown ethnic origin enjoying some "choons" on his phone or mp3 player. The rapturous expression on his face suggest freedom and escape to counteract the emotional ballast that is his sturgeon mouth.
Before this seventh piece, the collection resembled the compartmentalized photos of Dawoud Bey's Candida and Her Mother, Celia, IIdisplayed at The Art Institute of Chicago. So "Debargo" has created new artistic interpretations of the overall collection as well as new challenges to its storage and display.

The resulting new septaptych is breathtaking in its scope and scale. Gone is the stability and security of an even number as the juxtaposition of man and handheld machine is thrown into beautiful, asymmetric chaos.

So, yesterday Andrew and Michelle guessed what some bands sounded like based on the album artwork. Here we evaluate how well they guessed in a little EADJ listening party.
Album #1: "It's Hard To Be A Diamond In A Rhinstone (sic) World" by Blood On the Dance Floor Track: "Save the Rave"
Michelle and Andrew had both used the word "slinky" to describe the music. Uncanny!
Andrew: "Yep, slinky sounds are definitely there. Chipmunking it up. Sounds like horses dry heaving. I was spot on with this one."
Album #2: "It's Always Gully In Philadelphia, Season 3" by Various
Track: "Gun You Down Tonight" by Cassidy
Michelle had assumed too much about this one. She was somehow thinking this would be socially conscious rap, sort of Arrested Development meets N.W.A. But Andrew being the hip-hop connoisseur that he is (he just saw the Rock The Bells show on the west coast), detected something more expected. Also, maybe the bullet holes tipped him off.
Album #3: "Demo" by Slow Motion Noise
Track: "Hope and a Reason (Demo)"
Michelle: "Awful Autotune! So terrible and derivative... I never would have gone that way with them."
Andrew: "Couldn’t listen to more than 20 seconds. Makes me think of that picture of those 20 extra tan jersey douchebags at the club."
Album #4: "Hooked On Ebonics" by Radiobaghdad
Track: "Poor Flipper"
Both Andrew and Michelle were thrown by the artwork on this one. So much that they guessed an entire genre off.
Andrew: "Wow, was I off. Not jamerican in any way. Not homophobic either. I think he said something about whales or manatees, which deserves points. In short, rawr rawr rawr."
Michelle: "Yeah. I was totally off on that one. It's way more punk..."
Album #5: "Beat Kids" by Beat Kids
Track: "Who The Fuck Is Joey Fenton?"
Andrew: "Voice sounds like poop. Typical guitars. Seems like they want to be an odd Matchbox 20-Rancid mash up. Nast."
Michelle: "Actually, the Beat Kids one sounds a lot like I thought it would..."
Album #6: "The Undislodgable Nugget Scenario" by Super Fun Happy Slide
Track: "Revenge of the Afterstench"
Michelle: "I love the name Revenge of the Afterstench! And that it sounds like a bullfrog puking!"
Andrew: "My biggest regret in life may be that I never reviewed this previously to match up with what I write here. They are fucking beastly. Literally, I think it is a horde of mammals with tails and matted fur."
