Re: (",) new Ray Johnson item on e-bay vanity & resentment
Bill, I think the auction was meant in jest. Perhaps even Ray would have considered it to be funny. He was a bit of a trickster himself - no? The title states "from Ray Johnson" and the description states "to Ray Johnson." It does seem a bit misleading and I would caution the seller to read the fine print on eBay's TOS (terms of service). A warning or an outright ban from the site could be the result of a disgruntled buyer's complaint. This is not the first time Ray has been spoofed on eBay though . . . A mysterious person known as Rein Rein has consistantly offered items with Ray Johnson references. I also enjoy trustworthiness where my wallet is concerned, but can also appreciate a sharp stick in the eye. Mail Art and its afficianados are an eccentric bunch and these type of pranks should be taken with a grain of salt. Caveat Emptor - eshu's eyes Yahoo!

Re: (",) new Ray Johnson item on e-bay vanity & resentment
photocopy addnpass from Ray Johnson Please, People: What are your opinions and judgments of the title on a piece of work auctioned on eBay under this claim? photocopy addnpass from Ray Johnson I enjoy trustworthiness in persons, pieces of paper, and in words. Somehow the Internet seems to encourage rankled people to communicate their resentments by writing falsehoods. "," I bet you think this song is about you. Bill Word History: A persistent resentment, a festering sore, and a little snake are all coiled together in the history of the word rankle. "A little snake" is the sense of the Latin word dracunculus to which rankle can be traced, dracunculus being a diminutive of drac, "snake." The Latin word passed into Old French, as draoncle, having probably already developed the sense "festering sore," because some of these sores resembled little snakes in their shape or bite. The verb draoncler, "to fester," was then formed in Old French. The noun and verb developed alternate forms without the d-, and both were borrowed into Middle English, the noun rancle being recorded in a work written around 1190, the verb ranclen, in a work probably composed about 1300. Both words had literal senses having to do with festering sores. The noun is not recorded after the 16th century, but the verb went on to develop the figurative senses having to do with resentment and bitterness with which we are all too familiar.

I'm not sure this is actually a Ray Johnson article . . . According to the Blog: BENTSPOON http://bentspoon.blogspot.com >> entry dated 3/14/05 the blogger Ross Priddle indicates that this piece is an add & pass from Ruud Jannsen.

Would or could someone play curator or librarian and describe or catalogue the photocopy precisely, with perhaps a suggestion of a date? The difference between an original Ray Johnson and a photocopied Ray Johnson is the difference between an original and a copy. An original copy needs to be annotated as much as an original anything. The word "xerox" is used generically, but when he had a grant of money, Ray rented a Minolta copier. Grays get greyed out on some photocopiers more than on others. Surely people involved with mail-art, hors commerce, do not want to commit the errors of sellers who blur the facts? Did Ray mail this paper to anyone? What is the evidence? Did anyone add anything? What? when? where? And my joke in 2005? to take a joke too seriously. I am aware of Canada, Eh, & from the $00.10 minimum bid, Eh, that someone who disdains auctions of Johnsoniana, or mail-art, is making a point, perhaps a Canadian joke about incongruent quantities, or the error in putting a price on the priceless. After all, only today, in Canada's worst air disaster, a two-seater Cessna 152 crashed into a cemetery early this morning in central Newfoundland. Search and rescue workers have recovered 829 bodies so far. Bill Wilson (who stopped for a few minutes in Medicine Hat in 1947) [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] Yahoo!
