                 Fifty inches of impressionistic inflatable ink
                                        
It didn't make “Most Amusing Present [1],” but it's still darned amusing—my
dad got me “The Scream [2].”

Okay, he didn't give me the actual painting, nor a reprint, but an inflatable
Scream:

[Macaulay Culkin posed for this, I just know it] [3]
 

Fifty inches of impressionistic inflatable ink. And given where the valve
was, his expression makes quite a bit of sense (same for Otto the autopilot
[4] now that I think about it).

So now he lives at The Ft. Lauderdale Office of The Corporation where we
could definitely use some non-corporate [DELETED-propaganda-DELETED] art to
liven up the space.
