Wow. Clever.
Hall of Fame pitcher Spaceman Bill Lee ran for President of the U.S. in 1988 with the slogan "No guns. No gutter. Both can kill."
Thought you should know that.

That's just cool.
Hmmm, butter shortage in Japan, guns made of butter...
Regardless, this is cool.
mmm Happiness is indeed a warm gun, on cinnamon raisin toast.
Why is this clever?
Next up: tiny circus tents, made of bread.
#7, that was totally sarcastic. This is decidedly NOT clever.
Rad...if only they shot butter bullets. It would turn my toast waiting game into a fun quick-draw contest.
Remember to bring a warm jacket when viewing this exhibit - gotta be pretty cold in that gallery.
Next Up: tiny Bibles, Torahs & Qur'ans stuffed into the bowls of long, delicate ceramic pipes.
What I want to see are the molds.
@8. i'm so glad to hear that.
Obviously the artist knew of the slogan "guns n' butter"... that's a no brainer... and while it may seem like a hop and skip to guns of butter, has it been done before? It is clever, just not genius. I like this installation, however prefer this artist's less obvious work.
