Isn’t there a word used in the legal profession that is the root or is very similar to ‘limn’?

Art.

While, IMO most of the Graffiti called ‘art’, is an attempt to legitimize a subculture, from what I’ve seen I would slide him into the Art category.

Funny story.

Last year we went to the Whitney Museum.
My youngest, after about 3 floors, pulls my wife down close and says...

“Mommy, there are a lot of scribbles in here”.

Art Linkletter would have been proud.

oh, sheriff’s deputies found him so drunk on our roads that he was passed out...more than once..when they got him awake he declared “do you know WHO I am...” and sure enough the sheriff had him driven home and did not make an arrest. The DA at the time, who is now our judge, fired him when he found out. Now the guy wants the top job. I don’t want him at all. The conviction happened in PA and he never told the DA about it when he was hired. It all came out during the primaries. 3 way primary, so he squeaked by. I pray the general election will end his aspirations.

the Dem is sending out all kinds of reminders and the drunk’s mother keeps sending out letters saying how wonderful her little boy is. RME

Now THAT I can see.

I cannot get why they would cover something like that up at risk to their own careers.

The sheriff sent out letters saying that he had “fire in his belly” for the DA job...........my comeback was “that’s firewater in the belly and no thanks”.

You'll like this.

I love to trot this out to the class every so often.

Artist Carl Andre

But Wait, there's MORE!

And that's the end to the above story, we were upstairs and there were a couple dozen tiles on the floor, and my daughter got grabbed by the security guards, because she was about to walk on the 'sculpture' LMAO.

If Andre qualifies,Banksy's a no brainer ; -)
