Of course he didn't ask for my input. He only told me after the fact. And that's because I was expecting him home for supper. He sent a text of what he had done, to explain why I should delay making his supper until 6:40.
He also sent a picture to show me what was in his new storage unit. Oh, not a full-scale picture of its contents. Or something valuable like that previous cache of Tupperware, new in the boxes. Not even his Rainbow Vacuum. Nope. He sent me a picture of ONE ITEM from that new storage unit.
[Please forgive me. I added a foundation garment. The innernets just ain't ready for the undoctored image.]
"Painting from locker oil painting"
"Great. A porn portrait."
Within a few minutes, I had a text from The Pony.
"Well. Dad just sent a picture of a topless painting he found."
"Yeah. To me, too."
According to Hick, The Pony responded to his picture with:
"That was totally not necessary. But niiice."
Hick says that he paid $100 for this storage unit, and has to have the stuff moved out in 24 hours. He commandeered The Veteran to help him, with the enticement of 50% of the goods or profits.
I'm pretty sure The Veteran is not getting half of the painting.
From the size of it, the frame alone must be worth $50...I would have no idea how to sell it, but that is what storage unit buyers are good at. I have a hunch Hick knows people.
ReplyDeleteHick definitely knows people who know people. More on this story coming up on Sunday, I think.
DeleteFrom the size of those...um...LUNGS...I must have used $50 worth of fake lace when I drew a bra in Paint.
Give The Veteran the WHOLE painting!!
ReplyDeleteI agree, unless they are selling it, in which case I want my half that will go in Hick's pocket.
DeleteAnother storage locker? I'd love to see more photos of the stuff in there.
ReplyDeleteThe painting is nice, I like the muted background colours.
I'll have to ask if Hick has taken pictures of the contents. He did mention a couple of other paintings. Not so interesting to him as a nude woman, I suppose. The painting actually looks like it was done well, just not the thing I would hang on my wall.
