You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.

Weird as that posting is, it's surprisingly well-written and doesn't seem like you're going to get murdered. If there was a nerdy escort into D&D (which is...well, it's not impossible) who was into this, she could probably make a fair amount of cash.

Nerdy bachelor parties :allears:

:j: The goblins are running away from you.

:devil: How fast are they running?

:j: Their speed is 30 feet.

:devil: No, I mean how are they running?

:j: I dunno. Fast. They're terrified of the party.

:devil: I'm having a hard time picturing it. I think you should act it out. Yeah... :awesome:

I once ran a one-shot game of D&D for a friend's bachelor party, and my own recent bachelor party was a different one-shot RPG. We didn't have a topless woman run the game, but in hindsight we missed an opportunity. I met my wife playing D&D. She's attractive. The wedding was expensive. I think I see a way out of this one...

(I'm kidding)

There is nothing else in the ad. VHS tapes already depress me, but this is too much. Imagining someone fire up the ol' VCR for this is just.... :smithicide:

I am offering for sale this framed portrait of Governor Paul R. LePage. I painted the portrait shortly after Governor LePage took office. You are buying directly from the northern Maine artist.

I am not affiliated in any way with the Maine Arts Commission. I don't support them either.

This is a very large acrylic painting on a 30x40 inch canvas, and larger including the four inch wide frame. Not shown in the images of the painting, there is a nameplate on the top front of the frame that says, "Paul R. LePage - Governor of Maine" The painting is temporarily on display at the Robert A. Frost Memorial Library in Limestone.

This painting emulates Hyacinth Rigaud's portrait of Louis the XIV. The Governor is not adorned like the Sun King with all the fine raiment of the age. The Governor is similarly adorned however, with the finery that is Maine.

Ah, Maine. Where the dopers can get a "medical" marijuana grow-card because the Maine Legislature thinks there isn't enough dope in Maine. And just like everywhere else, the dopers "love" their dope. Maine dopers "love" their dope more than anything. That's what makes marijuana a narcotic drug, the irrational "love" of it that makes dopers so flaky.

We're all paying the price for "medical" marijuana now. There's more dope in Maine than ever before. Come to Maine, get a "medical" marijuana grow-card, and set up a dope dealing business. It's happening every day now. There are more dopers in Maine every day. The dopers smoke dope in Maine high schools. And they're trying to get it down into the elementary school level too.

Barack Obama wants to legalize dope. The dope laws unfairly and disproportionally incarcerate black dopers. So, Obama wants to legalize all dope. It's a strange argument, but then, it's an argument coming from a strange fella too.

Maine, the way life should be. Grow your own dope! A place where legalizing dope is the topic of conversation in Augusta, because there are a lot of Maine legislators who think the time has come to increase the amount of dope in Maine again.

Bring your kids to Maine, there's plenty of dope here for them. And relocate your business to Maine. Maine has one of the most stoned workforces that can be found anywhere in the nation. Maine, the way life should be... Or at least it used to be that way...

If you don't vote for Republican legislators, you're voting for the pro-dope crowd down in Augusta. The Democrat-controlled Maine legislature spends more time addressing marijuana laws than just about anything else.

I strongly support the Governor's reelection, despite the fact he has been ineffective in addressing or reducing the dope problem in Maine. The Governor has been modestly effective on the economic front. We're not economically recovering in Maine, but we're doing better than a lot of other places, thanks to Governor LePage and his staff. There's more to be done.

Maine is $9,000,000,000 (nine-billion dollars) in debt thanks to the Democrats. That is insane. That is almost $7000 for every man, woman and child that has been borrowed by Democrat-controlled Maine Legislatures. And they want to borrow more money!

The Democrats are telling voters, they are going to solve the state debt problem by legalizing dope.

That would be one heck of a lot of dope in Maine, just trying and to solve the state debt problem in Maine. So, we'll have to get toddlers hooked on dope too I guess.

The target market for legal dope in Maine is kids. Don't fool yourself about what dope is about. Dope is the number one killer in Maine.

BTW-- What did Maine get for that $9,000,000,000? Name ONE THING!

$27,500 is the price for the painting. For $27,500, you'll get the painting. Oh! I almost forgot!

Maine buyers need to add 5.5% Maine sales tax. That brings the purchase price up to $28,012.50 My sales tax ID number is 1165676

Yup, even an artist who paints governors needs a sales tax number to be legal in Maine, THE FREE DOPE STATE! Grow your own! Get a "medical" marijuana grow-card and start growing your own dope today! Pretty soon you'll be supplying everyone in town with their dope needs. And the demand for dope in Maine is growing every day. So don't miss out on the opportunity! There's no franchise fee, and no physical exam. Just say you have PST, post traumatic stress disorder, or a "sore" back.

If you like the painting, then buy it with confidence. If you don't like the painting, keep your thoughts to yourself, thanks. (Maybe one of the art critic-losers in the crowd can buy one of the fabulous "labor mural" panels. Now there's an art investment!)

tl;dr: A local conservative with no art skill is mad at the :airquote: liberal elites :airquote: keeping him down by pointing out how bad his work is. He paints a portrait of our governor and posts it with a screed that would make Glenn Beck blush. He charges $27,500 for said portrait.

For comparison:

This is Rigaud's portrait of Louis XIV:

:hist101:

I should mention a few quick facts, for context:

:tbear: Governor Paul LePage is a dumber, less charismatic Chris Christie. He was elected with only 31% of the vote, because the rest of the state split between the Dem and a left-leaning independent. He is even less popular now.

:tbear: Our illustrious governor took down a mural depicting Maine labor history from the governor's mansion within the first week of moving in. That would be fine, if he had a) obtained permission to move it from the artist, who had a contract with the state, not the governor, and b) mentioned where the gently caress he stowed it since it belongs to both the state and the artist. It took almost a year and the threat of legal action for him to fess up about it. That's what this guy rambles about in the middle of his screed.

:byobear: Maine recently legalized medical marijuana dispensiaries, so as cool as it would be, this is not a "free dope" state.

Edit: Just remembered something that illuminates this guy's fixation on "dopers." He lives in Limestone, which is in the middle of loving nowhere and is known for two things: housing a huge ICBM complex back in the day, and these days is the site of Phish's "Lemon Wheel" festival. So, every year, tens of thousands of Phish fans show up basically in this guy's back yard and smoke pot for three days. Awesome.
