If you should acquire
If you should happen to acquire a Class-A large metal fire extinguisher…Do not use a pipe wrench and take off its cap (being sure to keep the cap connected to the long spine that reaches into the extinguisher as you remove it)
Do not dump out the powder from inside the extinguisher.
Do not get any cheap bucket of water-based latex house paint and mix (before putting in the extinguisher) with water at a 1:1 ratio.
Do not pour the paint into the extinguisher and seal the cap back tightly.
Do not use a bike pump or use the air pump at a local gas station to fill the pressure valve (under the gauge on the side of the handle) with air.
Do not spray huge fucking tags all over the city.
That would be illegal. Grafitti is a crime…and not For The Kids.

CANstruction
Canstruction is a nonprofit organization that holds annual design and build competitions to construct giant sized, structures made entirely out of canned food. In each city after the structures are built and the winners declared the creations go on view to the general public as giant art exhibits. At the close of the competitions all of the food used in the structures is donated to the local food banks for distribution to community emergency feeding programs.
Check em out at www.canstruction.org and peep some of the dope shit people have created during their competitions.
ICONIC TREATISE GOTHIC FUTURISM
I was very young the first time I heard Rammellzee (RAM plus M for Magnitude, Sigma (Σ) the first summation operator, first L - longitude, second L -latitude, Z - z-bar, Σ, Σ – summation.) and K-Rob’s immortal Beat Bop on the Style Wars Sndtrck, I remember feeling confused yet deeply intrigued. Now that I am older and somewhat wiser (yet somewhat not) I am beginning to think that maybe ol’ Ramm had it all figured out long ago.
One thing is for certian, we lost an important pioneer in both the musical and visual arts of our culture. Much Respect. RIP!

Defacing Bills
We get defaced bills at the shop all the time and most of them are hella weak…
” United States currency and coinage are governed by federal law through the U.S. Treasury Department. Generally, it is illegal to fraudulently deface, mutilate, impair, diminish, falsify, scales or lightens any coins minted or “coined” in the United States or any foreign coins which are by law made current or are in use or circulation as money within the U.S. (18 U.S.C. 331)
It is also a crime to fraudulently possess, pass, publish, sell or attempt to possess, pass, publish, sell or bring into the U.S. any such coin with knowledge that the coin has been altered, mutilated, defaced, etc. (18 U.S.C. 331)
Defacing currency with the intent to alter the bill to gain a benefit is illegal. If someone alters a written instrument (such as a check) without permission and with the intent to gain a benefit, then it is called forgery, which is a crime. If one tried to alter a cash bill (like changing a $5 bill to a $20 bill) for the purpose of presenting the altered bill to gain a benefit, then that could be considered a forgery. Forgery of United States Currency in this manner is called counterfeiting and carries with it very stiff penalties.”
