Jack From New Jersey Saw a Painting of Soup
MoMA's "I Went to MoMA…" project is now online (remember Annabelle?). Head over there to see hundreds of little goons and showoffs describing their trips.

Wow, does anyone else want to punch Fiona from England?
@Lauren Hayden Particularly because…MoMA made you think about really boring flowers? That's it?
@Lauren Hayden: Yes. And Judy from Natick, MA (4th row, 4th from left) really needs a good slap upside the head.
@Lauren Hayden Quite a bit, yes.
Did a German get knocked up at MoMA (first column, third row)? Or are they just using confusing metaphors and umlauts?
@applestoapples "I once got busy in a Modern Art Wing Bathroom" are the revised lyrics to the new remix of the Humpty Dance.
@leon.saintjean New Bucket List item: Have sex in MoMa bathroom while listening to Digital Underground. Get pregnant and name child Klaus.
@applestoapples You can get pregnant with stuff like art and ideas in German, if you're a little pretentious. It's like if you say in English that your brain is full, or something.
Either that or they got busy in a Modern Art Wing bathroom…
@Emmanuelle Cunt I figured as much, but was also hoping that someone just really wanted to bang one out near a Picasso.
"Kiss my oliver on his sweet lips. He said I love you marry me I said….maybe".
Kind of love Mike from Moscow.
So what we have learnt is that people who write these are either:
a)pretentious
b)a child
c)foreign
d)have really nice handwriting or
e)a combination of the above
But mainly a).
I love me some well-scripted platitudes in pidgin english.
Kid who will probably turn out to read secretly douchey bookes and like them http://www.moma.org/iwent/#/506
@parallel-lines I think Bethan is about 75% of the girls I dated or tried to in college.
"I went to MoMa and I was blowen away" (that's amazing)

I want to be friends with Julia, first column, fourth row. She just came for the food, and I guess loved it enthusiastically? Screaming NOM!
@maevemealone She should hook up with Tim from West Hollywood: http://www.moma.org/iwent/#/857
[[[HAD FUN]]]
I like the guy who ate cheesecake. Tim. Tim has his priorities in order.

Wasn't there a little girl who said that MoMA didn't even have any dinosaurs and "YOU CALL YOURSELF A MUSEUM?" I liked that kid.
Stewart from South Texas totally got robbed. (3rd row, 7th from left; Giant scribble) He clearly wrote "look on back of paper" And did MoMA scan the other side of the paper? No. Because Stewart creates outsider art that does not conform to the parameters set by the establishment… um… established by the old fogies at MoMA. I thought they were supposed to be all forward thinking and stuff.
I also liked Enoch who got so tired he got a cup of coffee just to sit down.
@Delighted by User I know! WHAT IS ON BACK OF PAPER?!

"shebaggledo" shall now be incorporated into my everyday vocabulary. thanks, Alison from London.
Painting of Soup #4 looks kind of like Homestar Runner.
Owen from NYC's drawing looks sort of like a face with devil horns on one hand and a fist on the other.
"Daniela from America." Nice.
What is posh soup?
@jen325 posh soup is fairly subjective, but I'd class anything other than [noun/adjective + "soup"] as posh. For example, "beef consomme" or "lobster bisque", whereas lentil soup and chicken soup are fine.
@Sarah in Japan I think you're on to something, but that would mean that clam chowder and cream of mushroom are posh, and I don't think they are. Maybe the name cannot include the word "soup" as you said, but must include a word borrowed from another language. Your examples fit that definition as well.
@jen325 I have just got in from a night out that included a debate about "posh soup". We did pretty much concur with you that if the word for soup is from a foreign language (mainly French) then it was posh. We argued over whether french onion soup was posh (my friend said yes, I said it was on the cusp) and whether beef consomme was posh (my friend said no as it is basically beef stock, my issue is with the name so therefore it was posh). If my life was only such conversations, then my life would be better.
@Sarah in Japan I don't think French onion soup counts. "French" is an English word, and I don't even know if the soup is actually French (like the fries and the toast). Maybe if we called it "soupe à l'oignon Française" it would be posh.
Beef consomme is a tricky one. It SOUNDS posh, but you're right, the soup itself is nothing fancy. Maybe it's only posh if it's served with cloth napkins? I don't know.
"If my life was only such conversations, then my life would be better." So true!
I'm skipping past anyone who is not a child. I don't care about post-puberto's opinions!
I think I prefer Jack from NJ's rendering of soup cans. Nice work, Jack.
Not a child, but Booty Wallpaper! Such enthusiasm!
