5. What's more likely is that in 25 or 30 years, every estate and garage sale you go to

will have Kinkades for sale, and cheaply. They're the kind of things that hang on the walls of houses until the residents die. Then, their heirs let them be sold at an estate sale. I love estate sales, but you can always see what was the cheap, popular artwork of the period in which the residents who are gone lived. Kinkades will end up like that. Many of them will be sold for the value of the frame, at best. Others will go into the big roll-off dumpster that sits in the driveway of every estate sale.

I predict he will become a verb. Like, "My grandmother was kinkaded!" or "Don't kinkade me." Demit Apr 2012 #4
