Fascinating

haha, i saw this last week and immediately thought, Oh Jerry, what have you done!!

for the record..greek yogurt, with crushed walnuts and french berries with a dollop of raw honey from some rooftop in BK.

funn that neither of them can cook. Most writers I know are excellent cooks, being the homebodies that we generally are.

He’s a tricky one – if you notice, he never tells us what he eats for breakfast, only what he doesn’t.

(And I’ll take this post over the one in which he asked about masturbation.)

It was a while ago – I forget the specifics, but in a conversation about something else he popped the question. And, just like the breakfast post, he didn’t give any personal details (thankfully).

Maybe he was high or something.

Giovanni;
I did say what I have for breakfast: Nothing. I have three coffees every morning. With milk and Splenda(I said that too).
(Also this question followed a long long thread on Proust and how memory is triggered).
I do not remember ever asking a question about masturbation.

Jerry, I seem to remember it was in one of your posts about Tracey Emin. Unfortunately I find Facebook impossible to search through.

Breakfast?
-strictly consensus—that a boy Jerry.
Why look at art and describe that phenomena when you can write about yourself; that is–look at art–write about yourself-looking at art. First check the wind for a consensus to make sure you are part of that consensus and then
only then, write about yourself-already looking at art. Or better yet just tell us what you already know.
You don’t know what you don’t know, but I know because I am Jerry saltz on Facebook.
Or even better-tell other professionals how to do there job-because you know better!

I know some people have problems with this, but I think it’s fair to survey the art world and then come up with your own response. Bloggers do this all the time.

survey and consensus are two entirely different actions.

Survey is research and consensus is political.

I have whole wheat toast and butter, with salt and pepper, for breakfast. I like fruit, too. An apple or a plum. Two cups of coffee with warm 2% milk. One cup before I walk the dogs, the other after. Both are half decaf, half regular, made in an expresso machine.

This may not be entirely relevant, but I really like the song “Superfast Jellyfish” on the Gorillaz’s “Plastic Beach” album. It’s about breakfast.

I thought he might have done his last two posts to weed out the tedious – or too sycophantic.

iuchocoa,
Thank you for your mean comment about me not writing what I actually think.
I promise to pay you $50.00 if you sign your own name here.
Really.
Or to put it in your words, “Why look at art and describe that phenomena when you can write about yourself… or better yet, tell other professionals how to do there job-because you know better!”
Really. I promise. You sign your own name; include your home address & I’ll write you a check right now and put it in the mail.
$50.00 may not be a lot of money to you but it isn’t small change to me.
Thank you,
Jerry Saltz
PS. After this I don’t think I should respond to unsigned comments. I don’t mind them at all. They’re fun. It’s just that the unsigned person is often either the same person writing under different names; an artist, critic, curator, etc. who feels dissed by me; ignored by me. Etc. etc…
Thank you. JS

time to go play my saximaphone.

Hey Jerry, I could use 50 bucks. I realize I am just reposting another persons post, so maybe that’s worth 25 bucks? It would really be appreciated.

I’d prefer to email you my address though, if that’s okay.

50.00$
Abject gratuity-
that’s a further prolific quality of Brand Name Jerry.
If you wrote anonymously no one would bother to read, consider or respond to your talking points/suggestions— I guess you don’t like an even playing field.
Some times truth is embarrassing and hurts—especially for people who are confronted with being involved in a racket.

@Jerry I don’t think it’s necessary to defend your breakfast facebook status with the conversation that preceded it on Proust and memory. You asked people what you they liked for breakfast, and that’s fine. People do this sort of thing all the time on the site, but let’s not pretend it’s copacetic with one of the cardinal rules of the internet: thou shall not talk about what they eat as though any one cares.

What’s crazy about this status update is that even breaking this rule, you’ve got 300 comments. Written by anyone else, this would be a mildly idiosyncratic, but banal update, that would received one or two comments maximum.

Your facebook experience is not typical. You have a lot of fans, and a really tight knit and active comment community. Seeing as how this is the case, this is my challenge to you: Write a facebook status so tedious you receive ten or fewer comments. You can write that you’re doing it as part of the AFC challenge, but not on the status update itself. If you win, I will make you a custom AFC animated gif, celebrating your facebook victory. If you lose you have to donate 20 facebook friends to AFC!

@iuchocoa Please limit your comments to the subject of the post. Also, @everyone no more comments about the $50 outing offer. This isn’t the Jerry Saltz shooting range.
