Today, the Stranger suggests a trinity of sound, language, and image at the Frye:

Rebecca Brown, Trimpin, Robyn O’Neil (ART & LITERATURE) On the evening of the day that the Trimpin: Klompen exhibit opens, local being/beacon of light/literature Rebecca Brown reads a whole new work. From her own mouth: “It is a new short story. A dark American tale inspired by the Robyn O’Neil show that’s set up there [at the Frye] at this moment.” Do not miss the musical art of Trimpin, the epic drawings of O’Neil, and the rhythmic prose of Rebecca Brown.

In honor of Slayer, who’ll be strutting and peddling their death-glam wares at Qwest Field today, here’s a random quote from The Satanic Witch, by the ridiculous jackass and relentless self-promoter Anton LaVey. From chapter five, entitled Fashion: The Witch’s Greatest Friend, the Witch: Fashion’s Worst Enemy: “I say that if you are in any way beyond the help of glamorizing techniques, take the Devil’s name and play the Devil’s game and let people know it. Learn a skill. Patin, play, sculpt, write, draw, read.” It’s like Emily Post for petulant suburban teenagers!

It was only a matter of time: Zidane’s World Cup head butt has inspired a song.

Shakespeare’s first folio sold at an auction for $5.2 million.

Other things that cost $5.2 million: (1) The entire war chest of Democrat Bob Casey, who is running against Rick Santorum in Pennsylvania; (2) 3.85 percent of that fancy Klimt painting in New York; (3) The entire budget for public schools in Brookline, MA in 2005; (4) The income that video game Halo 2 generated per hour in the first 24 hours after its release.

Some senator says the guy who runs the Smithsonian is “unfit to serve,” because of accounting irregularities and “crass commercialism.”

Vinegar is good for you. Hippocrates used it to treat infections. Lord Byron drank it to preserve his pale complexion. The scienticians say vinegar kinda-maybe-sorta inhibits staph infections, some heart disease, and tumor growth. It was, according to Mohammed, the finest of condiments. Drink some vinegar today!
