The First Person To...

...private message me with their address and the correct author and title of this teeny excerpt of one of their works, will be the new owner of some fun art with love from the Beck.


When a hurricane damaged my father's house, my brother rushed over with a gas grill, three coolers full of beer, and an enormous F*ck-It Bucket -- a plastic pail filled with jawbreakers and bite-size candy bars. ("When sh*t brings you down, just say 'f*ck it,' and eat yourself some motherf*cking candy.") There was no electricity for close to a week. The yard was practically cleared of trees, and rain fell through the dozens of holes punched into the roof. It was a difficult time, but the two of them stuck it out, my brother placing his small, scarred hand on my father's shoulder to say, "B*tch, I'm here to tell you that it's going to be all right. We'll get through this sh*t, motherf*cker, just you wait.

Happy father's day, b*tches.

The art is fun like you can take it or leave it, but it's free because I send it to you.

Googling is your business.

If your dad would like the book, I say go for it. That essay is the most hilarious thing I've ever read.

This writer is definetly inspired by Charles Bukowski but I know it's not him. Can you give us any hints?

The above excerpt is from You Can't Kill The Rooster written by David Sedaris from his book of essays Me Talk Pretty One Day. I highly suggest a gander at this essay, because its HILARIOUS (and hartwarming in its own right).

Alright kiddos, so the only one who read the instructions carefully enough was Zenbabe, thus congratulations Zenny-Zen-Zen! I shall create you a one-of-a kind masterpiece...although, if you don't get your hopes up too high, it might actually be something fun *and* worth calling art.
