The Master(piece) Plan

File this one under "Best Idea EVER #674".

So there's this EBay charity auction where you can bid on doodles done by quasi-famous people. I was interested in seeing what kind of weird crap these people would draw when asked to submit a doodle, so I went on over to the auction to check it out... which is when I found the best thing EVER.

One of the items you can bid on is a commissioned piece of art. A piece of art made by an artist named Sarah Robinson. Can you guess where I'm going with this?

If you said "Bid on this thing, win it, and commission a portrait of Woody Allen to hang on your living room wall." you would be correct. However, you left out one important detail. The correct answer is:

"Bid on this thing, win it, and commission a portrait of Woody Allen to hang on your living room wall. Then proceed to show it off to everyone that comes over and tell them you drew it yourself."

HOW BRILLIANT IS THAT??? If anyone were to challenge me on my artistic skills, I would just have to politely point out that it is indeed signed by one Sarah Robinson... which is me. (But is not REALLY me.) It's like lying and telling the truth all at the same time.

This is going to be so awesome.
