Jonny’s undead project

[fsn]

Downright suspicious I call it.

[mmcv]

You don't think it's.... new?!?! 

[fsn]

New?!!??

Egad! The man's rich!

[Jonny]

I'm ashamed to admit it is quite new. I'm even more ashamed to admit that it's not an anomaly...

My name is Jonny and I occasionally buy new cutting mats

[mmcv]

For shame!

[fsn]

Gentlemen, we may have to consider if this is a black ball situation, though upon more sober reflection we may forgive the Cadet.

[mmcv]

Yes I suppose we should. This time...

[Jonny]

For penance I will walk the parish boundary and hit myself in the head with the offending cutting mat a la the holy grail monks

Never mind that, youngster - you owe the officers' mess a round of triple Armagnac!

[Techno II]

Nothing wrong with a clean cutting mat ! 

Mine still looks quite new. 

But then....I haven't had the paints out for years, and I haven't spilt any acetone on it.........yet.

Cheers - Phil

Whereas my two, as Phil knows, looks like a  pair of Jackson Pollack paintings!



No, Nobby, that's not rhyming slang, this time...

[fsn]

Hey! I know stuff!

Jackson Pollack was a bloke who turned paint drops into an "art form". They're actually cleverer than they appear, being almost fractal in their effect, but still look like a drip mat to me. Suffered from alcoholism. He died in 1956(?) in a car crash at a very early age (40s?). 
Played in a film (called "Pollock") by Ed Harris, who also played Beethoven in "Copying Beethoven" and Major Konig in "Enemy at the Gate" 



Though I do want to know why Techno knows your man-bits are multi coloured.

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Good facts FSN.

A pollack is a kind of cod, I believe. Pollock was a kind of painter. A Polack is a kind of eastern European, formerly a neutral term (see Hamlet) but by now considered offensive. A polk was a division in the Polish army. A polka is a lively dance from the 19th century, for reasons unknown to me now associated with a dotted pattern. A pollard is a tree with major limbs removed to encourage massed grown of withies, a common technique with willow trees to increase the rate of basket production.
