That is Priceless by Steve Melcher for October 12, 2022

Whatever plans Kurt and Edith had for evening were upended when they had to babysit their nephew.

/// “The Family” by Egon Schiele

shows a trio whose nude skins reveal a

blotchy, zombie-like state.

Was it something they ate?

Or did Egon paint high on tequila?

It was take your son to work day when these models were sitting for the painter.

Following the unexpected explosion, Carland Tina instantly regretted their choice of gender reveal method…

The Zombie family, waiting at the refugee camp for the next delivery of brains.

For Barry and Annie, the first day back at “Happy Booty” nude resort was a bit awkward with their new baby. Diapers or no diapers? (Definitely, diapers!) And Annie still had those darned stretch marks.

The problem with Egon Schiele/

(As his paintings and drawings “reveale”)/

Is a love of those parts/

Of Trollop$ and tarts/

Which they probably ought to “conceale”.///

He worked in Expressionist style/

Forthright and devoid of all guile/

Which at first can distres$/

But, because “more is less”/

You get used to it after awhile..///

Some people think Egon was dirty./

Sophisticates say “merely flirty”/

But what I’ve seen exhibited/

Would make “the inhibited”/

Rejoice – that he never saw thirty.///

In Utah, his work’s seldom seen/

Nor is it in old Abilene*./

If it’s shown, it is most/

Likely shown on a coast -/

But not in the spaces between !*Kansas

Could have worn Clean Birthday suits for little Tommy.

Real poverty is when you can only afford to clothe the child.

It wasn’t their best, but sadly it wasn’t their worst Christmas card photo

Must be laundry day.

Snort! Thanks for the Wednesday chuckles, Steve.

Whenever people would ask why Johnny was always in therapy he simply would whip out this photo.

Actually Ziggy Stardust escaped Earth, gave up traveling and went home to marry and raise a family. But no one understood why he insisted on naming his son Zowie Bowie.

We told them not to eat those particular mushrooms, but did they listen? Nooooo.

Can a person really be described as an Austro-Hungarian? I accept that he lived in the empire, but he would have been an Austrian, a Hungarian, or some other ethnicity.

I think Scott is flashing a gang sign.

Honest babe, you’ll get used to being a nudist………………….

“…and in this video, we’ll show you how to properly apply full-body camouflage paint.”

But mommy. I don’t want to be a nudist.

Officer Pierce gave new meaning to the phrase; “Long arm of the Law!”

What Egon created with paint/

Shows a glaring lack of restraint/

He was prone to blow through/

Every “bourgeois” taboo../

Egon simply wasn’t a saint !

Of the millions who came undone/

In the aftermath of World War One/

And succumbed to the flu/

(But escaped World War Two)/

Egon Schiele may have been the most “fun”…

These Folks make their home in the Far North

Having decided to at last journey forth

They had moved from Nebraska

To balmy Barrow, Alaska

And lived in a stilt city henceforth

.

With the average air temp outside

So high humans could no longer abide

Farther South than the Yukon

The States each raffled a coupon

To bring folks into Alaska to reside.

.

Climate had gone wildly uncontrolled

And the Arctic was no longer cold

The ice and the snow had long melted,

The seals and polar bears that there dwelt in

The area had been butchered, and sold.

.

As clothes were no longer much needed

All sense of body shame and modesty receded

And the very concept of Nudist

Joined with beliefs of Hindu and Buddhist

And each one’s navel was to sight unimpeded.

.

There were some who still denied Global Warming

Regardless of the Heat and extreme Storming

They were thrown off an eroded scarp

To feed the huge brackish carp,

To the very last un-reforming.

Informational poster in doctor’s office: Monkeypox – How to Recognize It.

Good ole dreary German Expressionism. Guess they become so alienated their clothes disappeared.

Well, that’s one way to make an a$$ of yourself. I wonder if Scott got a little tail.

The results of not waiting to have sex until the body paint had dried….

“Artist” from the school of thought – show some nudity and no one will notice you’re really bad at painting.

“The Family”

Finally, a picture I’ve seen IRL! This past July at the Belvedere Palace, Vienna. I even took a picture of it!!!

I have added a comment there (awaiting Mr. Melcher’s approval) pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. First work, by this artist, found here.

sex, pregnancy, birth all at once, doesn’t happen that often.

All humor aside, what an ugly painting.

They kept their child safe at the edge, but noticed they themselves spent far too long in the pool today.

Egon realized he could blame his paintings on the A.I. drawing tool; and stopped caring what other people thought.

That piece of crap your kid made in art class that you have to put on the refrigerator until they forget about it.
