Yeah, I gave up after about 20 minutes. Nothing here either.

infinite monkey 12-14-2011 10:38 AM

I tried too. Nothing.

Well, I saw the picture lamp posted above. That was about it.

Lamplighter 12-14-2011 11:02 AM

For the copper wall sculture: 10 points; plus 10 more if you designed or made it !

For the neon sign: minus 5 :rolleyes:

I love the copper!

I love the neon, but not as much as the copper.

They did a piece on neon on CBS Sunday Morning. Neato.

I believe that the sculpture above the entrace is Euterpe, the greek muse. The building is probably a opera house or a concert hall, maybe a music school.

FIFY.
Sorry - that's pedantic and really petty, especially as your English is flawless.
You can beat me over the head with your string of onions and beret if you like.

I have no idea where it is BTW.
Just dropped in to be insufferable.

Yebbut, they're only dangerous to the thrower. Here, let me show you. Take it in your hand like this, get your arm well back, give it a flick... :bolt:

The place is surrounded by sugar cane fields as far as the eye can see. They make rum with it, you see.

Bundy rum is indeed pretty rough. A bouncer I knew in Queensland told me quite a few pubs simply stopped selling it when they noticed most of the pisshead troublemakers were drinking it. When they stopped selling Bundy, the amount of violence fell noticably. Whether the bundy causes violence, or simply appeals as a drink to those who would cause violence anyway, was not established.

Why would I beat you with a string of onions and a beret?

1) Sorry to disappoint you but I don't own a beret (too much of a cliché)
2) I believe I already said that I prefer to use a :whip:.

Actually, I think GM's English is perfect.

distinguishes Euterpe the Greek Muse from all the other Euterpes such as Euterpe the fishmonger of Venice and Euterpe the pokemon.

But hey, if you guys just want to :whip: , that's cool too...

It's the East Pyongyang Grand Theater in North Korea

Like the others I was drawing a complete blank so I used a different approach. As the building was not coming up in any of the searches, I reasoned that it was probably in a place that is off the usual tourist trails. I was thinking maybe somewhere in the former communist dictatorships of eastern Europe. I did Google image searches for "national theater" and "concert hall" in combination with communist or dictatorship. Using "concert hall communist" led to this article with a similar looking building but without the dome - http://leonidpetrov.wordpress.com/20...n-north-korea/

I then searched for "Pyongyang concert hall" and found it - http://www.fotopedia.com/wiki/East_Pyongyang_Grand_Theatre#!/items/f92u9unugujk0-RxcW5mnKswM

It was not in the part of the world I thought it may be, but sometimes you get lucky :)

Good job, Tony! That was difficult!

Good image, Spexx. :)
