Yes, but Kincade’s paintings screech!
Wait, what? He once peed on Disney’s Winnie the Pooh character? Is that what Vinyl Turnip is talking about upthread?
Whatta maroon.
To be clear it wasn’t a character in the sense of a person walking around the park in a costume.
The Disneyland Hotel used to have these photo spots around the grounds where various Disney characters were in place as big plywood cutouts. You could pose the family with them.
He peed on one of those in the middle of a drunken night.
Still not good behavior, but not quite the same thing as the mental image I’ve seen people come away with after seeing headlines on it.
I heard about the urination incident but didn’t realize until now that it was a cutout of a Disney character. That actually raises my opinion of him versus any regular old public urination. Which isn’t to say I hate Disney, I actually like them a little bit in every way, it’s just that combining it with bodily fluid makes it that much more awesome.
Hmm, the restraining order the family is seeking seems more concerned that the girlfriend will “spill the beans” so to speak, on the techniques used in producing his [del]crap[/del] artwork.
Cause of death: alcohol intoxication mixed with diazepam (the active ingredient in valium).
Just in time for the tox report, I found my blog post on my opinion of Thomas Kincade:
*In reference to the marketing of Thomas Kincade stuff–That began with a very lovely idea, and then marketing ran it so far into the ground that it poked through the other side of the earth and is now blasting towards unknown galaxies. Soon, alien civilizations will be mesmerized into buying Thomas Kincade paintings, sculptures, Christmas towns, cards, posters, shelf paper, wall hangings, diaper covers, and caskets.
Yeah, I’m just waiting for the day when I open a magazine and find an ad in the back for a Thomas Kincade “Festival of Light” casket.
“Show your Loved One how much you care and also express your belief in Eternal Life with a Thomas Kincade original work of art commissioned JUST for the Batesville Casket Company! The lovely English Countryside is featured on the exterior, and the casket lid is an actual door, when opened will switch on an indirect lighting feature using ecologically-friendly CFL miniature bulbs in a rose-tone to give the Deceased the well-known Thomas Kincade ‘glow.’ Each casket autographed by Thomas Kincade himself, and a certificate of authenticity is provided. Be sure to ask for the coordinated guest book, memorial cards, and thank you notes.”

I’m telling you, benzos are the work of the devil…even for those who paint the light. :rolleyes:
So he Quinlaned. Wife said at first that he simply drank himself to death in three weeks. I hope it was an admonishment that, there but for the grace of God and all, but I saw it as a personal challenge I don’t plan on beating anytime soon. I mean, three whole weeks? Gimme twenty bucks and I can do it tonight, despite my relative immunity to the sauce.
