Don't blame me, this was Ryder's idea.  ;)

No its not a Buffet mouthpiece, I found an even worse one in my junk box.

You might have an interesting motif going on, with the piece seemingly somehow dominated by horizontal planes. The 'indicator' blue on the brush, the rubber red grips, the edges of the mouthpiece, etc. It gives the piece a sort illusion of 'width', even though physically it is quite vertical. The brush seems almost personified. I don't know if you mean this as a structure, or a photograph, but that would have a varying effect on its analysis. If this were a structure, then you could say that the brush head seems to stare off in a direction to our left, resulting in the structure not just being confined to its own physical space. Instead, the structure almost works the space surrounding it into itself as well. This is a very common Roccoco and Neo-Baroque motif in structure. However, I sense that there's is not much of a implicit nature about the piece as well - so you can also make the case that this is what one may call Abstract.


Haha, I enjoy playing art critic.

Kevin, you forgot to use the words 'existentialism' or 'paradox' there!

I missed the suffix '-esque', and the word 'apocryphal'. No critique should be without them.

Haha, well there's only so much refinement a critic can get from a single 102 college course in art history.

Derivative!
It channels the hotel in Dubai, UAE.
Nontheless, I can see a latter day Ayn Rand embracing it as a symbol of solipsistic strength, or---and one would be remiss in not including this-- it could find its way as symbolism in a Woody Allen movie.

Piling it high and deep, twee (gotta use that word....a fav of the New Yorker magazine)

Here's my addition.

The first two are a Buffet mouthpiece cap that functions not only as a toothbrush holder but a q-tip holder as well!!!!!!! wow!

Don't you just hate it when you go to squeeze the toothpaste and you have to push it all up to the front, or as you squeeze, all the toothpaste spreads out inside the tube?
Ever wander what you are going to do with that old lyre from marching band? Well here's the solution for you OCD afflicted people (or blessed, however you look at it).

Ryder, that's why you're supposed to follow what it says on the tubes (at least the Crest ones anyway) - "For best results, squeeze tube from bottom and flatten as you go up" or something along those lines. If one just does that from the beginning, then they'll have a perfectly neat tube that dispenses the paste cleaning and quickly for its entire lifetime. This comes especially handy in the cases where the paste is striped, because if you don't follow this rule, in about a week your paste will dispense all muddy and mixed up instead of coming out in three clean even stripes! Yuck!

Allan,
Since i use more salt than pepper i'll use a 67mm barrel for my salt and a 65mm for the pepper.


Paul,
truly the best one so far. We'll see what comes up next. i have a great one coming along in my mind and the stuff to complete it! may take some time though.

the sad thing is i have a bunch of spare parts, the results of students having fatal accidents on the marching field. dunno why i keed ending up with the bodies...

when you're running full speed across the field, and you trip, or drop it down through the cracks in the stadium steps, the plastic patient usually dies.

if you ever wondered if you can snap one in half, yup, you sure can...
