There was one of those in front of the ballpark two weeks ago - little kids could climb into Eddie Murphy's head and get their picture taken. Horrifying.

Someday there will be one in every home in America.

Spencer Chow, Tuesday, 2 February 2010 21:45 (sixteen years ago)

I am recopying the text from that for the inevitable day when it is removed from Craigslist:

I am looking for a replica of the bust made in the Lionel Richie "Hello" video.

However I'd like it to be bald as I intend to recreate that lovable afromullet with some sort of cream cheese dip at parties. Not that I have many parties, but if I had this, I might start. I'd like it to be maybe about a foot tall. It really has to look like that bust (which oddly enough doesn't look like Lionel Richie at all) or it won't be worth it. Hopefully it can be the same orangish-brown matte finish that is in the video but I understand making it safe for a cheesy-afro might lead to some compromises.

Please email me with a bid including a breakdown the cost of supplies and labor. I can also exchange for computer repair (mac/pc, virus/malware repair, etc) or maybe a 12" G4 iBook,

Thank you to Curtis for informing me that terracotta would not be a good choice for a food-safe sculpture.
Take care.

This would be a great chip and dip set.

Great, but points off for not ending with the "Hello, is it me you're looking for" line.

This is Spencer Chow's first and only thread.

Out of malicious curiosity, I did a search. By gum, it turns out Spencer had already started 7(!) threads prior to this one. And to think I believed in him once upon a time.

I saw a meme recently with Lionel and the "Hello..." caption with him holding a pack of toilet paper. Not quite worthy of this thread so I didn't post it.
