I like it. My own version would be a certificate showing something to be 'my prerogative'...Bobby Brown fans take note! However, imagine the lines of argument drawn sharply to a close as one could simply reveal a prerogative license - magic. |

I like the idea of being alphabetically ahead of drivers, exotic dancers, fishers, hunters, pets, physicians, but most especially attorneys ("Hey now, 'r' before 't', might as well get back with the licenses to steal, big boy!"). |
|
| |
I note you take this concept to its extreme. License with an 's' is usually taken to be a verb, with a 'c', a noun. |
|

As to the rest of the text in your description, what can I say? You're in august company. Mark Twain supposedly said once, "It's a shallow and unimaginative man who can only spell a word one way." |

UnaBubba: In the US, we use "License" for both noun and verb. I have a card in my wallet which calls itself a "Driver's License", for example. |
|

Do any of the rest of you live among blissful folk (you know, as in "ignorance is...") who refer to a license as if it were plural? |
|
| |
Hey! I can spell it how ever I want -
I have an artistic license . . . |
|
| |
My point exactly. It's a national pastime. Hence the perceived need for PA and the absolute bakedness of this idea. |
|
| |
the Perl programming language has been available under the Artistic License since its invention. It's similiar to the GNU GPL.
see http://perl.com/language/misc/Artistic.html |
|
| |
Unfortunately, I think some people (especially those who do certain taxpayer-funded 'public sculptures') probably need to have their artistic licenses revoked. |
|
| |
[egnor} We were once stopped by a patrolman in a rural southern US town and asked to produce our "drime lime". I'm still not sure if what we showed him was what he asked to see. |
|
| |
I like the original idea, only I think the test to get the license should be difficult enough to keep idiots off the metaphorical road. |
|
| |
You could never pick an authoritative body to grant the licenses that every artist was OK with, that's the only problem. For any given person you picked to grant them, the "artists" that didn't get one would just claim bias. |
|
| |
I think the quote should be: "It's ok, I'm an artist!" |
|
| |
yes, brilliant.
Most photographers I know are pervs, and I often wonder if they got into photography to begin with because it's an excuse to take snapshots of nude women. |
|

[Archbishop Furball], you're out of touch here. If you've ever tried to develop a reputation as an artist, you'd know that talking women out of their clothes for pleasure is FAR easier than talking them out of their clothes for art. |
