Harry, you're one of the coolest things to hit SF0 in a while. Please stay. If you need to break from tasking, that's great (that's where I've been), but there's lots of people who really like you here and you'd be terribly missed. Please stay.
If Barbie had been at Iwo Jima, I think the world would be a much safer place today!
Wow! So much criticism for clearly tongue-in-cheekiness... I wonder what the reaction would be if I boasted of my medicrity....
SF0 is not about tourism. It is about participation, and sometimes in a negative way. The pictures are not in the context of tourist snapshots, but are the completion of a task that asks you to do the forbidden. Yes, it was forbidden for a reason, and a good one, but the task calls for the broken rule. Complain if you must, but do so in context.
Yes, but oddly tempting.
Hey!
Lovely Eyes or not, you're not suppsed to be drinking Coffee!
Bad Bryce! I only gave you 4 votes.
Super Friends!!!!!
I was getting consistent negative votes last era... to the point that it was a large part of why I actually stopped commenting for a long time and took a bit of a hiatus from SF0. I can't say much about this era, as I've not commented much, but now I'm becoming active again I expect to see it return.
I like the idea, but your forgery wold not pass inspection by even the least of Rasputin Affecianados. Those in Rasputin's Cult would easily point out that The Mad Monk's Member was said to be at least 11 inches long -- AFTER MUMMIFICATION -- and his daughter Marie claimed (how she would have known this I really don't want to contemplate) it as 13 inches long in turgid life.
So your sculpture, while certainly looking authentically "petrified wood", could not belong to Rasputin.
Actually it was my daughter and I who fixed it this afternoon.
I had shown it to my son in it's glory a couple weeks ago, but my daughter had never seen it. After picking her up at school today we were driving by the buffalo and she said she'd like to see it, so I took her over.
On seeing the awful vandalism done to the lovely graffiti painted doors, we decided to try and throw a couple back up. Without a hammer it was a little tough to drive the stakes back into the ground, so we went home, got a hammer, and came back.
We worked for about 3 hours or so putting the 6 henges that had fallen back up and pounding them back into place. I lifted and held the henges up while she hammered. A couple came out a little crooked, but we fixed whatever we could. Unfortunately many of the brackets were bent and the bolts torn out, so some are less sturdy than they were, but we tried to bend things back into shaped as much as possible.
The satellite dish was a gift from some of the weekend revelers, as were some mardi gras beads, a comb, and a little stuffed koala bear on a ceramic stand. I unbent the satellite dish and put it in an appropriate place while my daughter wrapped the beads around the comb and hung them on one of the doors. The koala we placed by the explanation notice.
It was just one of those moments when you see something wrong and you just fix it, almost without thinking. All in all it was a lovely afternoon.
Back home, I figured there must be some task I could apply this to, and there is (Restoration) but I'm not at a level yet to add that task. I guess I'd better get to work.
You mean like where you take the first letter in Rex, and the last letter in Rosa, and put those together, and then turn them backwards and then stick them in the middle of all the other letters and put the elements around it like arms and legs, you suddenly have something that looks like a pirate saying "Ar!" (if you squint tightly enough)? Spoilers like that you don't want so much?
