Dian Fossey

[Telarus]

The name originates from a stage adaption of a 1894 novel (& was named after it) as characters wore them onstage, but did apparently reach it's zenith in the 60's [Wikipedia].

This thread is now about insane hats Portland considers normal.

That, on the other hand, looks practical for automobile driving.

Some tard did this piece of "conceptual art", about 20 miles away:

One of our local Washington historic crazy guys, Sam Hill, replicated it in concrete, for reasons that are not totally understood:

i raise you with fridgehenge, your move

We have old-timey looking shoes (and maybe some boots) spread out around the city. All painted differently.



They just appeared one day and I think every so often new ones show up.

Chicago does something like that with cows.

Toronto did it too... with moose.  It didn't go over well.

Back off topic:  What is it about shitty little towns that put up huge Goddamn ridiculous monuments to stupid shit?  The giant nickel in Sudbury is almost as depressing as the big concrete cashew in Seguin.

A giant nickel. 

Around here we mostly satisfy ourselves with Paul Bunyan, because Paul Bunyan.

However, we also have what may be Oregon's most famous and beloved roadside attraction, the Mystery Hole.

We have a 20 foot tall Paul Bunyan statue in downtown Tucson, for reasons that nobody can seem to explain properly.

I mean, other than our logging industry, that is.

Wait wait wait...

What? WTF would Paul Bunyan even cut down in Tucson? Boojum trees?

He is there to show you what happens when you cut all the trees down. Tucson.

It's not such a bad thing.

I think San Antonio should do it with dildos.

A bunch of cities did cows... some sort of charity fundraiser dealie.

It's good to hear that some good came of it.

I'd totally help with that effort, and I suspect that there would be a lot of volunteers to help make dickhenge. 
Could use earthbag construction too-both cheap, affordable and novice-proof.

But this is Texas.  Those phalluses have got to be big...for meany reasons.

In Houston, we do it with vehicles, sometimes...
