Ever had the urge just to run a big stake through a bunch of cars?

Sort of. I've had the urge to fashion a large
crossbow out a BowFlex and shoot a harpoon
across Main Street. The aiming point would be
the window of the grocery store on the other side.
Behind the window sits a bunch of ostentatious
Chinese porcelain chintz on display.

If so,
you might be interested in this landmark sculpture -- now for sale in order
to clear space to put in a Walgreens drug store.

Car-hunting with spears is an interesting approach.
Iron cold-water pipe might make good spear shafts.

cheers,
Tom

My first impulse was to climb the thing.

James Howard Kuntsler might appreciate the "landmark" enough to make
it the "Eyesore of the Month". (If he's not already)

Mine was to plant stuff in it. I first considered
fucshias 'n petunias, and lotsa bacopa (can never
have enough bacopa,) and then it occurred to me:
big stuff -- azleas, aralias, phlox, foxgloves.
Heck, sunflowers!

Cars are intrinsically and irredeemably ugly Gorgons.
Garages exist so that cars can be hidden away from sight.

Most cars are hideous blobs. Were they to adopt one perfect
aerodynamic shape they'd all look like rain drops.

I can see some cars as pretty . . . about as pretty as a gun.
As long as they're parked and not loaded, guns generally stink less.

Nope.

This time next month I may be driving a nice
354hp Audi S5.
