What the fuck is with Scandinavians and curing shit? Seriously, do you guys have meat dishes that you don't have to soak in water to reconstitute and remove the lye flavor?
Because this has been a country where for the most of history, you could live if you were okay with starving a little now and then
So when you do have food you make that shit last
Dude, cured meats are delicious. Sure, we don't have to preserve meat anymore (in 1st world countries, at least), but it changes and improves the flavor. We don't need salami anymore, but we still make it because it's good.

I know
but this is why alot of our food is based on preserving it
I still hold that art should not try to kill you with boredom while it discusses death.
Why? What is art? How can art be anything other than boring?
It should also only be considered "great" if it is accessible to the common man and not only pretentious fucks.
Why? How is Ingmar Bergman not accessible by the common man? Does this not reflect more of an elitist streak in you, to think that the "common man" cannot grasp what an Ingmar Bergman film is about? What is some examples of what you believe is "great" art, and how and why is it accessible to the common man?
This is why I think "interpretative dance" is wasteful and dumb.
How is "Interpretive Dance" not accessible to the common man? Is not "moving" on of the most common activities imaginable?

I was more responding to Alec with that one and pointing out that even though we don't need to preserve meat anymore (which might have been his response, dunno) it's still got a great purpose.
The common man can go fuck himself. He has no taste at all.
He is also common, hence the majority of humanity, hence the most important part that you reach.
Making art that only 2 people understand is pretty fucking useless.
Making art for the common idiot is pretty fucking useless. Also, be less of a... uber-anti-intellectualist super-luddite. You might get mistaken for a troll.

Yeah, Alec. I really enjoyed that short story. I liked the idea that a computer could be so angry with people for making it what it is, and making that it alive.

There is 'art', then there is 'commercial art', then there is 'decoration', then there is 'craft'.

It's not that I don't like cured meats, I like them very much, but not everything has to be brined.

I'm sorry you don't like the Holiday season, Than. I really am. I wish I could do something reasonable to make you happier, but I don't think it's possible.

There, clearer terms. Go!
They are not clearer. Most art is commercial. How could it not be, unless you are talking about ephemeral land art or something? Most great art is decorative, unless you are talking about something like Felix Gonzales Torres' candy spills, and ALL art is craft.
I present to you the best food:
Fuckin lapskaus in a fuckin can from fuckin Trondhjems. Ain't nothing better.
The correct way to eat it is while on the twelfth hour of a 30 hour sail to denmark, or when you've finally reached the open cabin after six hours of walking across the mountainside, hanged your wet clothes in front of the fireplace, written yourself into the list and then there's your reward.

My art is my ability to piss the national anthem and it's NOT FOR SALE OR VIEWING BY ANYONE BUT ME!
Thus, not commercial

For a second, I thought Than said he was going to ban everyone "without a Christmas avatar." And I was like, huh, that doesn't sound like the Than I know and love.

It's full of ice and has something very close to the highest per capita suicide rate in the world.
Go Japan! 8th or 9th place, I forget what our most recent ranking is. I do wonder about Greenland's stats though, as it wasn't listed serparately under the wikipedia entry for suicide rates per country, I guess cause it's still part of the Kingdom of Denmark or whatever.
Also, trying to teach Japanese people to sing English christmas carols is frustrating as hell, especially when they insist on trying to read from katakana pronounciations instead of just listening and mimicing what I sing. It's... not... the same... GAH!

What if you made a work of art that only reached two people, but those people were Selma Hayek and Monica Bellucci?
That art is called "my cock," and it was crafted by the muses themselves from steel forged by Hesper.

Podly sometimes you really aggravate me. I'd figure you of all people would understand what I mean.
It's a flow chart of general terms.
You have the umbrella definition of art: a sensory (visual/aural) depiction (2-d or 3-d) which may or may not inspire a strong reaction in the viewer and which may or many not have been created to inspire that strong reaction.
Then you have commercial art: a sensory depiction which is made for the sole purpose of being sold, which may or many not be designed to inspire a strong reaction in the viewer and which may nor may not have been created to inspire said strong reaction.
Decoration: a sensory depiction which is made for the sole purpose of being aesthetically pleasing, not to inspire a reaction, but also not always to just to be sold.
Craft: a sensory depiction which may or may not also be commercial and/or decorative which usually fulfills some sort of practical purpose - for example, jewelry, cabinetry, etc.
Now obviously things can fall under multiple categories here, but I hope that further explains things.

Only if the sole purpose of art is to appeal to the most people, which is not true.
the percentage of people who will watch through the seventh seal is low

Second Candy Cane Guard, to me!
It was bright and sunny today.
I miss our latitudes, lat-bro.
I really want to do one, I totally could (though it wouldn't be half as awesome as S_O's).
Just think about it.
I could do one where you control various [chat]ers.
