And this by where I work, which I don't mind aesthetically as much as I object to its frequent use as an open-air public urinal:

good lord what is that terrifying frank costanza monstrosity, why are there children ossified in his legs?
― the fey monster (ledge), Saturday, 19 May 2012 22:51 (eleven years ago) link
ledge, he's a former mayor of Chicago who was forced to resign after the remains of ossified children were found in his umbrella can.

Either that, or he was the longtime announcer for the Chicago Cubs. I can never remember. </cardinals_fan>

The ossified children remind me of the kids under the robe of the Spirit of Chirstmas Yet to Come. Or something from one of the Nightmare on Elm St. Sequels, though I can't place which one. It's so bad, though.

Every time I see that Pat Tillman statue, I hear him saying "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" as he goes out in a Scarface-like blaze.

I complained about the stern expression given to the Man of Peace earlier, but now I think it's going to be appropriate with summer tourists milling about.
― pplains, Thursday, 31 May 2012 16:39 (eleven years ago) link
ya totally, that picture is exhibit A as to why that stern expression was totally OTM and an eerily prescient call on the part of the sculptor

especially when we get the tourist snap of the girl with the thong hanging out the back of her jeans.I look forward to many MLK stern appraisals

fun fact: those grassy berms are not just creative landscaping, they're designed to keep cars from driving through the front door.

also i believe the whole plaza has an empty chamber underneath it, and it's designed to crack under the weight of a truck. built after OKC, obv. but i don't remember where i heard this.

The Great Escape also had this weird racially questionable african man in a "jungle" area that was a robot and it used to say "welcome to my jungle" from behind the bushes
