Hi to George! Remember Dan's Myth? It has something to do with whether you still have all your fingers? Felt Wounds? Here is a poster for you taken from a church roadside sign: "Stop, Drop, and Roll, will not work in Hell." I'm gonna get that one tooled in leather on my bible belt! d

The Gothemist neglects to some of Mr. Horner’s most enigmatic quips, which date back to Operation Desert Storm: Oman, How Crude I Am Saddam You. Israel Scary So Iran. I Scud-Daddled. Syriausly, Hussein In This Insane War? My bookshop’s window displayed his Satan Is Happy With Your Progress poster to great effect. Several people commented on how disconcerting they found it. His Welcome To The Dark Ages is prescient and enigmatic. George, who as an artist is also known for his work in Silly Putty, is a wry guy with great ear, a connoisseur’s appreciation of the odd and an incredibly dirty mind. To be a regular recipient of the results of his finds on the Internet is to be reminded, on a nearly basis, that life is also absurd.

Nice post, John del Signore. Clears up the mystery. I forgot about the "split you" poster. Heh. I think Mr. Horner should hang this post in his window now.

Very nice John! I used to live around the corner from him years ago and was always curious about the signs. Famdoc my fave was also "Don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you."

What excellent agitprop this is. I wish I was among the Park-Slope cognocenti so that I could enjoy them too.

Thanks so much for this profile. I've been walking the Union St. route from the R train for fifteen years and have enjoyed seeing Mr. Horner's contributions to our neighborhood (my personal favorite: "don't let the doorknob hit you where the good lord split you.") It's just another one of those art-in-public-places experiences that adds to the quality of our lives here in NY.

“Oh, man, I gave you a retrospective at the city dump.” that made me sit here and laugh for two minutes.
