Sheesh, not even a week after students are returning to campus at ASU and this headline shows up on the ASU Art Museum website:
“Cleaning the meat wall (yes, that says “meat wall”)”
Whoa, Sin Devils, how ’bout waiting until school’s in full swing before making us choke on our Chuckbox?
Turns out, the headline refers to the maintenance of a sculpture by Brazilian artist Adriana Varejão entitled, Ruina de Charque-Quina (Corner Jerked-Beef Ruin), 2003 — or, as it’s lovingly referred to by the museum, “the meat wall.”

Wow. And my mom freaked out when I told her about my first kegger.
