Fasolamatt brings you the story and the video (below). What do you make of all this? Can these cats and dogs get along?

“intellectuals, when they play games, they cannot just play normal games. It has to be intellectualized.”

Jesus {redacted} Christ.

Throw a big rubber ball out at kindergarten recess and they’ll come up with the same game. But a herd of burnouts invent a new reason to bother everyone in the park after they lose their hackysack, and the NYT calls it “participatory art”.

Hippies, this is just another reason why Patton Oswalt and I hate you so much. Play your game, that’s cool man. But when you start saying its “contemporary art”, it makes my ears bleed worse than listening to the Grateful Dead.

They’re not booing, they’re saying “doooooooooooooooooooouche.”

n=2. Answer=No.

I think it would be fun if the ground were wet, I was drunk, and the people I was playing with were younger, more female, also drunk, and less serious. Otherwise I stand in solidarity with Mr. Swamptown, in spite of my Grateful Dead-lovin’ hippie cred.

Is there anyone here that has invented a game not for hippies?

Merx - talk to roughkat. He’s helped invent some of the most glorious events known to man.

Holy douschebaggery batman. Are you kidding me…art?! No wonder everyone hates the NYT. Unbelievable.

I will now refer to beer pong and flippy cup as expressive art. Do I get a feature in the Times? No? Ok..what if I grow a beard, take off my shirt, and wear slip ons? Take that back, being a tool is not one of my life goals.

I see Baby Jesus is going to attempt to hit HR’s in St. Louis. I can’t see anyway this comes back to haunt the Twins.

Can’t we just treat my doucheyness as some type of new-age conceptual art? No? I’m just a straight up old fashioned d-bag? Ok, that’s cool.
