i am however a big fan of those silly lil dudes to be found @ the minneapolis federal courthouse and the nyc subway. there's also some @ the metrotech center in downtown brooklyn and, most delightfully, popping out the hudson on the upper west side.

who's buddy on the horse in the question? i likes him.

Is this a statue of Queen Charlotte taking a canon blast to the gut? WTF.

haha I meant "cannon" but that's funnier "I'm sorry ma'am but your legacy is not sound!"

KINDA HARD TO MISS.

Yep, that's Minneapolis' very own Mary Tyler Moore statue. Dear rest of the world...you're welcome.

The guy on the horse in the first post is none other than Nathaniel Bedford Forrest, Confederate general who later founded the KKK. It's a fitting statue for him.

Hey P. Plains, Vulcan is alive and well in Birmingham.

Uh-uh. If I ever make it back, chances are he'll just hop down and hide from me again.

Not as ugly as the Mary Tyler Moore statue, but I alwas thought it looks like he's being stretched out on the rack (and really loving it).

I agree with Anthony that the minimalist sculpture is just depressing as fuck, it makes Rothko seem all Hallmarky in comparison.

?!?!?! It's not gone! I just visited it two months ago! I have pictures of Vulcan's gigantic ass!

My favorite Vulcan story is the torch which shone red when a FATAL traffic accident occurred, but that it had to be taken DOWN because it was red all the TIME and disturbing people!

Good butt-shot at Vulcan's Butt blog.

Of course, on the way down, it looked like the rain was going up.

There's a television station up there on that mountain that had a security guard who got mad at me while I was driving around, looking for an invisible statue.

jesus christ that's horrific

it's funny that no one ever gives the photographer credit for shots like that, at least not right in the tweet, and then the photographer gets credit for that one

Wow.

nothing can compete with the last entry, but the new Mick Jagger statue in Dartford is a look from certain angles

I would've guessed anyone from Steve Winwood to Terry Fox to the guy who was in The Warriors before assuming it was Mick.

ah dangit, just came to post that

New fountain in Vienna, apparently

This may have been in the broken links above, and I do appreciate the spirit of this thing, but it's just butt ugly.

Another surprising omission. I am both fascinated and repelled by this.

Oh I always kind of liked the Blue Mustang. It's definitely right on the borderline for me though.

The locals call it "Blucifer."

blucifer squashed his daddy fyi

and for a real good time you can google blucifer's veiny taint

but anyway

the more i think abt this lab mice memorial the less gruntled i get

it is inappropriately cute and has the nerve to be ugly at the same time

we have gained so much of immeasurable value, saved & improved so many human lives, at the cost of terrible acts on creatures that are utterly at our mercy -- creatures that we bred, we brought into existence, for this purpose! to suffer for us, so our dumb asses might suffer less. they deserve a way more fucked up statue imo

(not that i'm finna fight about whether medical research on animals, and animal exploitation generally, is sufficiently justified by its benefits to humanity; just that it's insulting all around to try and paper over the moral complexity with this dumb cartoon of a wise little mouse wearing glasses and busily knitting a double helix for its beloved human friends)

Yeah, I know. That goes in the You Cannot Make This Shit Up file.
