How to Draw Conclusions

Uncategorized

Hello loyal readers!

Today, I haven’t got anything to complain about (besides scheduling, which is my constant nemesis).  So instead, I am going to show you how to draw conclusions!

Part 1. Know Your Enemy


When we want to draw something, we generally want to draw it well, so that people will know what it is.

ImageCase in point: Jackson Pollock paints the number 28.  Look at that. Perfect 28. Perfect.

So now, we want to look at a conclusion.  What do your conclusions look like?  Take a good look around to find some conclusions near you.  Don’t worry, people know what conclusions look like; you’re a person, you’ll find a conclusion soon enough.

Step 2. Finding Conclusions

Surprisingly enough, conclusions are tough creatures to come by.  I find that they like to be hidden, and often nest in places where one has to extend their arm and stretch out their hand just to access the conclusion.  Should call them reclusions, for that kind of behavior.

All that said, I believe it was Jeff Corwin who once said that all conclusions must be reached.  And he’s a professional animal interviewer, so he would know.

Its a rugged lifestyle. 

 

Once you’ve reached your conclusions, you’re ready to draw them.  Make sure they stay still, some folks have a hard time with shifty conclusions.

Part 3. Wrapping it Up

Sometimes it helps to wrap up with a conclusion.  I prefer to wrap mine with aluminum foil and then slowly roast them to give them a glazed, semi-cooked texture.  Just ask my friends, they’ll tell you stories of my half-baked conclusions.  

Now you might say, “But Keegan, how are we going a draw a conclusion when its wrapped up in tin?’

to which I answer, ‘foiled, again!’

But seriously, drawing conclusions is much easier once you’ve wrapped them up.  Goodness knows, conclusions put up a good fight, and it’s best to wrap up an argument before drawing your conclusions.

Besides, it’s very hard to draw a conclusion without first having an argument: you’ve got to get your conclusions tired out before they’re ready to be foiled.   I know a lot of people who have already drawn a lot of their own conclusions, and most of those conclusions are very tired.

Part 4.  Where I Draw a Conclusion

Okay, once your conclusions are settled and still, you are definitely ready to draw them.  Make sure you have your #2 pencil, a good heavy piece of drawing paper (or I mean, whatever’s nearby), and your game face.

Now, I recommend that you start with the face…. no, maybe the arms?  Hrmmm….  Alright, I’m trying to get one of these going right now, and even with everything in place, it’s proving kind of difficult.  Just uh… ahem. Hrm. Well.  I guess, ah, overall, I mean, just kinda… I don’t know, put pencil to paper and see what happens.  

There ya go, a definite conclusion.  Kinda sketchy, but hey.  That’s art for ya, right?

Responses to Inception

1) The Only Motion Picture I’ve seen where the ticket price is a discount.  See it if at all possible.

2) Every oscar => Inception.  It’s not a prediction, it’s a demand.

3)  This is what happens when you present this kind of movie to a punster.  I have begun imagining various spin-offs from this film.  They include:

a) A mind where security has discovered a method that is foolproof against inception.  Using specialized pills and rubbers, combined with continuous line and pattern dancing, this mind is a safe without a combination: inception is impossible here in the striking production of CONTRACEPTION.

b)  The porn version of Inception, featuring the bustiest women in the industry as dangerous, erotic agents in a story of betrayal:  DOUBLE D-CEPTION.

c) In the sequel to the fantastic film Inception, a cellphone based method of dream interface is created, and signal becomes all important in the art of idea implantation:  RECEPTION!

d) God sends a black ops angel to convince a young hebrew virgin that she herself intends to give birth to the messiah: THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION

e) A wealthy dance company (bwahahaha!)  hires a team of extractors to take on Andrew Lloyd Webber in order to create a musical based around the stories of felines:  PURR- CEPTION

f) A scrawny young man is convinced to become the world’s greatest body builder by a team of highly trained extractors in this coming of age story: BICEPTION

g)  The story of Mal and Cobb and their adventures before Inception: “PRECEPTION”

I hope you all enjoyed those as much as I did.  Or at least cringed.
