I was just minding my own business when you started ranting about how much you hated NSCAD students, how you wanted to pick us all off like Will Smith in I Am Legend and how they were all a bunch no good punks. Then when I spoke up to defend the school I love, tell me I might was well start working at McDonalds now.. You are a hateful bitter man and I hope karma comes around and bites you. —Would You Like A Career With That

That was completely out of line. He should have said “Like William Holden at the end of The Wild Bunch” Infinitely more cinematic. And I don’t think you need to worry about McGizzards Your choice of alma mater and touching faith in “karma” mean you are destined for the kind of coffee shop that prides itself on having a “philosophy” FYI – ixnay on the nionuay talk. At least until you’ve worked your way up to night shift manager.
probably an unemployed graduate/Artiste.
A Real NSCAD student…would have designed her very own MIB Memory Eraser out of tampon inserter and an old Hello Kitty cell phone and *ZAP* – Mr. Phil I. Stine is now a driver for F@D@X.
Depending on karma to win your battles = weak. Very, very weak.
*snicker*
A real NSCAD student would’ve started up a charoot and asked to be shot with some type of Franco-era rifle and a glass of some obscure red.
A real NSCAD student…would have pointed out that, while “I Am Legend” is the better film, “Omega Man” is far more enjoyable in a hip, ironically funny kind of way
don’t forget vincent http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-AYkOq20IEVY/T5AS…
“I Am Legend” eh? I think the idiot is a legend in his own mind! Good on you OP or standing up for your school. As for Karma (or as I like to call it, Hippy Juice)…I love that stuff, get it at Lush all the time. Next time mace him with it! 🙂
As an artist, you better get used to criticism or you will live a sorely disappointing life.
Its pretty ironic that an artist, of all things, thinks that someone is being pretentious. LOL!!!!
A real NSCAD student…would have responded to his suggestion of working at McDonalds with icy disdain.
And then spat on his Whopper once his back was turned.
Good nerdwork on the Price, Painey!
I’m pretty sure you were thinking of a Beatles song.
Will Smith?
“tell me I might was well start working at McDonalds now”
… sounds like some helpful advice to me. *shrug*
A real NSCAD student would have ignored the guy as they (the student) do not live in the real world and continued to smoke their cheroots and drink their grande whatevers.
A real NSCAD student would have admonished this clown for using such a bad analogy.
A real NSCAD student would show off how much she loves her ultra skinny fellow NSCAD student by constantly hugging him while looking around to see who is watching, when someone would glance and walk up to them, she would turn only to truly acknowledge if they look depressed or skinny. Or have a question about “Halifax”. Because all NSCAD students know EXACTLY why Halifax is awesome.
They will be enthusiastic about the person until the conversation slows down and then it will be:
“next”
A real NSCAD student would shut the hell up and take all that anger/hatred and apply it to their work…
of fashioning toilets for their galleria display.

A real NSCAD student would have used it as a “teaching moment” like Uncle Phil did when Will and Carleton were stopped by the L.A.P.D. for “driving while black”
Same old Ivan. One of the resident trolls misunderstood another regulars Simpsons reference to me and now believes me to be a soulless ginger. She christened me “Ivan Firecrotch” and one of the things that I’ve learned about dealing with the ‘psychiatrized’ is that it’s never a good idea to tamper with their belief structures, however tottery they may be. >: )
The avatar is an old “LTWWB” regular. Every time somebody posts a bitch or a love about gingers, some of the old guard (usually Paingirl or Orgasmatron) will beg me not to post the link because of it’s sheer, bowel-loosening horrificness. Invariably I do, because I’m a prick. What can I say?
I’ll be back to something a little mor dignified this evening.
Maybe.
They should go to MSVU like you, right PK? Then they could have their parents as roomates and best, and only, friends. Get a life, you dateless wonder, and stop boring us with stories about your cats, and how wonderful your parents are. Nobody cares! *shrug*
Well Ivan, while I find you quite dignified in general (even when you throw zingers;)), I am really liking your undignified self…and you could always think of the ‘Firecrotch’ nickname as a, ahem, ‘positive’ reference…..lolz;P
“You people are all idiots” has now become one of the “You” referred to in their moniker.
They are playing the fool.
PK’s parents are cool. Her kitteh’s are awesome. Her apartment is amazing. And, if I were 20 years younger, ambitious, and not happily married she could get a date in a New York minute.
But Yeah, The Mount sucks the hairy feminist armpit.
As a former NSCAD student, I suggest you always have other employment, because duh. Guy was a dickcheese, but not wrong. Also, wtf happened? Every kid I meet who goes there now is a hipster tool.
…Now … NOW…?
I think you should consult your yearbooks…
i wanna werk at mikyds but o no, tood says only if i breng her hom big max. i cant lug enuf to feed her. get yer own job tood im sik of feedin yur hungre gut. ugggh
I don’t know how it’s possible, but yes, they’re worse. It’s like the proto-hipsters pupated.
NSCAD is as useless as Ross Landry
Wouldn’t it be funny if NSCAD said the same thing about the people on this site?
“Wouldn’t it be funny if NSCAD said the same thing about the people on this site?”
Hell Yes. Especially if they said it in the form of a rap, or a large Guernica style mural painted with their own dookie. (Good for a solid B+ for the term)
It would be funny! But…
A real NSCAD student wouldn’t deign to lower himself to haunt these ‘lower class threads’. Unless they wanted to use Montrealman’s bloated posts to wrap a similarily bloated paper mache statue in some sort of weird artsy statement.
Well put, my question has been answered satisfactorily.
PEARLS BEFORE THE SWINE
“Do not give what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you to pieces.” (The Sermon on the Mount, Mathew 7:6)
“Then when I spoke up to defend the school I love, you tell me I might as well start working at McDonalds now.” (Would You Like A Career With That?)
A quick reading of the comments on your bitch should be sufficient to tell you not to expect either sympathy or understanding from those on this site. To do so is to do little more than to cast your pearls before the swine.
The “pearls”of course include both your love for your school and by extension a love for that which it offers – an education that cannot be reduced to some form of utilitarian training – as well as your love for art which, in their grossness, they are completely unable to appreciate. You must understand that the swine are both profoundly anti-intellectual – the realm of the mind for them is alien territory – while the concept of art elicits only their hoarse jeers and knee-slapping laughter. The reason for both lies in the fact that they are unable to grasp that which is not immediately connected to making money. These two characteristics – the realm of the mind and the concept of art – are to be found inextricably co-mingled in their swinish perception of life. Indeed, one could say that the combination is definitive of their piggish outlook on the world. When the words “education” and “art” are heard all they can do is stare with their small porcine eyes, slack-jawed and slobbering.
Do not then give what is holy to the dogs nor cast your pearls before swine.
A pleasure as always.
Cheerio!

I may not know art, but I know what I like:

Part of NSCAD’s problem is that it’s made itself too insular for its own good. The faculty have been driving the school’s programming and course design for far too long and there are many programs NSCAD could offer but hasn’t despite the profitability and marketability of such programs – fashion design and interior design spring immediately to mind. Stylists for advertising, publishing and film/TV/New Media don’t come out of a vacuum, either. If NSCAD wants to continue to remain relevant, it needs to have its offerings reflect more closely what Halifax is striving to become.
