Further to this whole Writing-On-Uncle-Sam-After-The-Fact business

Just for the record, I don't mind people writing on Sam.  It will be nice if they spare us the scatological/anatomical humor, likewise the use of the word "fuck", but there's a lot of room on those long blue legs and nature abhors a vacuum.  I'm feeling a little bad about nabbing the pen somebody left.  Maybe I should take it back.

And really, who gives a shit about some arbitrary deadline that I put on a piece of public art, saying it's "closed" when, of course, it remains functionally wide open?  I need to man-up.  I might go upstairs and apply some of that medication for low-T that looks like roll-on deodorant.
