    Today, Van Gogh would be addicted to meth and squatting in an abandoned Brooklyn warehouse after losing his meager savings and ear to the hipster grifter. I'm glad he lived when he did.

    Now I'm confused.


    So Van Gogh was Spartacus?


    What about all those other guys saying they were Spartacus?

    Vince was a Redhead. Carrot Top. Red on the noodle like the dick on a poodle.


    Redheads are all out of their minds in one way or another, so there's really no telling what happened. Besides, Art Historians, more so than other disciplines, have been making shit up about people and events for years. It's nothing more than clever marketing.


    Would Mr. Van Gogh be any less interesting without the cut off ear story? Probably not.


    But take a guy like Jeff Koons, would he suck any less for actually marrying the Prostitute, as apposed to simply gifting her a piece of his own flesh? Again, probably not.

    @lurkystars:


    Not true. I once had to use a pint glass to save my own Life.. Caught the Dude, who was twice my size and super pissed off, right across the bridge of the nose, when I was forced by circumstances to whip it at him. His nose exploded, giving me enough time to beat a hasty retreat. And the glass didn't break till it hit the floor.


    In a bar fight, the pint glass is the great equalizer.
