noooooooo!
the quote should read
"we can praise a man for making any useful thing, especially if he admires it intesely. there is no excuse for making a useless thing. Accordingly, Art should never be useless"

that's what I say, bailey, and if you disagree, a fist fight is in order!

or jello wrestling...
:P

J-Lo wrestling!

That means you, me, and Jennifer Lopez wrestling in j-ello because of Oscar Wilde.

It's like not having to excuse your art.

ie. no one will accuse me of wasting my talent on art of all things b/c this art is "useful." Oscar helped pioneer the radical movement "Art for art's sake" vs. art to indoctrinate others with one's moral beliefs.

Boo-yah, Grandma!
