Almost famous...

Recently I sat down for a Q & A session with a reporter for the Lake County Landfill Gazette to discuss an article appearing this month, "Landscaping with Bear Trash...Nasty Garbage or Post-Modern Expressionism?"


Q: Mr. Jeezy, how did you arrive at such an unconventional placement of garbage in your lot?

A: Well...it really is a total group effort. Dimmy Mouthbreatho provides the breathtaking array of Cocoa Puff boxes, Twinkie wrappers & Dominoes Pizza boxes & Mr. Bear artfully rearranges it into the masterpiece you see today. Really, my lawn is just the canvas...


Q: Was their any local resistance to this avant garde style of working with trash?

A:  At first the neighbors had some issues...County Sheriffs came out, Code Enforcement came out, Florida Fish & Game came out. Once they realized what a formidable proponent of garbage Mr. Mouthbreatho is, they soon learned that resistance is futile...


Q: Do you mean that there is nothing they could do?

A: Apparently not. The sheer brilliance of Dimmy is...if HE snuck over in the middle of the night & dumped trash all over my lot, he would be in violation of several laws. But since Mr. Bear is the actual artiste', that is perfectly fine!


Q: So there has been no further backlash?

A: Supposedly Code Enforcement has cited him, supposedly Fish & Game is sending a Game Warden around to make him secure his trash, supposedly pigs will fly up & down Wolfbranch Creek...we will just have to wait & see...


Q: And you have not been pressured to pick up this so called "mess?"

A: Sir, we are doing art here. Please show some respect. I will be picking up the "mess" as soon as the pigs fly up & down Wolfbranch Creek...


Q: Anything new on the horizon?

A: Why...yes! We are working on a new project that may include a collection of bio-waste! Mr. Mouthbreatho recently had surgery for Diverticulitis, apparently when you eat really crappy food, it messes up your system. Who knew? He is kindly donating his collection of used gauze, Tucks pads & incontinence diapers...along with a variety of syringes & colostomy bags. We are very excited! So stay tuned for further developments...
