I'd like to learn a Martian art. Any suggestions?

[sl8]

Is "grokking" really all it's cracked up to be?

I should rather like to learn how to sit at the bottom of a swimming pool for a few hours, but I don't suppose that's a very marketable skill.

1. Is farming potatoes in human feces an art form?

Sitting at the bottom of a swimming pool for hours is easy.

As long as nobody thinks to fill it with water. That ruins the whole experience.

[sl8]

2. I suppose it would depend on how and where the fecal farming took place.

On Mars, done as Matt Damon did it, it probably counts.

In Idaho, done by me, not so much.

You, my friend, are too clever by half.

That is an excellent idea for a performance art piece.

3. It would be marketable

as a pool cleaning selling point.

8. Nice. Plus, if what Hollywood tells us is true, pool boys get fantastic fringe benefits. n/t

11. Not going to believe what Hollywood says,

that's for sure.

4. Landscapes.

There were a bunch of them, but most would fill the screen.

9. Very nice. But, would people accuse me of being a Curiosity wanna-be? n/t

5. Mind control.

[sl8]

10. Yes, master. Mind control. n/t

6. If you're heading to Mars, you could always go into mining

[sl8]

7. Ha!

I think I'd rather go into Mars bars.

[trof]

12. I would like to open the first Mars bar.

I'd call it Mars' Bar.
I'd serve Marstinis.

13. Sand painting - start here on Earth with Navajo or Tibetan styles

Then you'll be ready to go see the Martian wise men and take up their techniques.

Or take up this kind of sand art:

14. That is awesome.

I can't fathom the amount of talent and patience it must take to develop a skill like that.

[csziggy]

15. YouTube has a number of pieces by that artist and ones by other artists

Some of the artists do images that create a story rather than just a theme. They are amazing!

I could never do that kind of work - just would not be able to have the stability to have clean lines. I do needlework because I can usually rip out mistakes and do the area over!

16. I recommend working on the Martian art of the

Disintegator ray guns.

22. Kids today don't know what they're missing.

We didn't have internet or smartphones as kids, but we did get Looney Tunes in their prime.

17. How do you feel about cannibalism?

In any case, I'd start with this guy.

[sl8]

19. A little help?

I (barely) recognized Martian Manhunter, but the cannibalism reference went over my head.

What's the connection?

18. Watch "The Expanse"

[sl8]

21. Excellent.

I binged the first season last month & am looking forward to season 2.

Am digging the near future, fairly realistic space setting.
