Gatherr - “When the Academy called, I panicked. I thought...

Pronounced "Gatherer", but, hey, it's web 2.0 and we leave the last
"e" out right? Gatherr collects the best of this and that from here and
there on the web for no other reason than sharing. It's about stuff
that seemed interesting at the time. Enjoy.

ABOUT

My
name is Tony Johansen. I am an artist. I like art and science and
poetry and books and history and technology and lots more besides.
Every day I am excited by the marvelous things I see in this wonderful
world and beyond. I love the Internet for giving me access to so much.
I am like a sponge for wondrous things or things that make me wonder. This site is really just a
scrapbook. Being on the web, however, means being able to share the
treasures I find. That's me, Tony Johansen, artist who likes to share
my excitement of being alive.

When the Academy called, I panicked. I thought they might want their Oscars back and the pawn shop has been out of business for awhile.

Woody Allen at the 2002 Academy Awards.

Woody Allen was joking, but in fact recipients of Oscar’s sign papers that prevent them from ever selling or pawning an Oscar. If a recipient does not want to keep the Oscar for any reason they must offer it back to the Academy.
