Get your GLASS/ORIENTAL vote on! Art's up!

Hi.  Hi there.  Hello to you.  Come on in... have a seat... get comfortable... you can set your loose belongings in the trays to your right... and welcome to the Random Words Art Challuunge.  I will be your guide and confidant throughout the ride.  Sit back, kick your feet up and enjoy a unique experience where you become the judge and jury for art submissions based on two random words.  I do ask that you keep all hands, legs and any other limbs inside the ride at all times.  Thank you and enjoy this week's art challuunge submissions!

A very special thanks goes out to the wonderful humans (I assume they are humans, but I suppose I shouldn't assume.  I mean it very well could be cats... cuz that's what makes up a large portion of the internet, right? Anyways...) that have submitted their pieces of art this week for high quality scrutiny and anonymous voting for the chance to win the opportunity to provide the following week's words... oh, and bragging rights!
