jim and mb have some on their wall that they call art but im skeptical. personally i cant recall reading what you are talking about. something to do with hanging chads, im guessing. interesting distinction between garbage and trash. id never considered them as different. whereas garbage is the refuse from animal and vegetable matter from a kitchen or market, some trash may rot as well, as its original use was to describe the refuse from plant trimmings, leaves, and twigs, before it took on more universal waste properties. garbage, i would contend, has also moved beyond the bounds of offalness to embody the panoply of litterary genres.
trashy novels, po-white-trash, flotsam and jetsam, little torn up pieces of......
funny thing is, while i was watching (briefly) the martha stewart xmas show, she used shredded up clear plastic baggies as sort of ornamental snow for her doodads, and i was waiting for her to serendipitously mention the "official" name of said shwag but it failed to materialize. if anyone would know it would be martha. maybe theres an "ask martha" section on her website.
