3/16/2005: Snowmen mob Moscow
 
http://cellar.org/2005/snowmen1.jpg

Thanks xoB. Apparently every year Moscow clown Vyacheslav Polunin puts on a "Snow Show" at Moscow’s Vakhtangov Theater, with mimes and clowns. This year they decided to establish dozens of snowmen on Moscow's Arbat Street as a prelude, and set up a new requirement for his clown college (full story):

Quote:

Every student in the Academy of Fools — or anyone who wants to join this “academy” - must take a final exam in January… by making a snowman.

In case the weather turns unpredictable, organizers set up a truck-full of snow for anyone wishing to pitch in.

The clown, meanwhile, expects that by the end of the month, there should be about a thousand snowmen in central Moscow.

They all appear to have different personas like real pedestrians so don't get between the Crips and the Bloods. :biggrin:

That first picture is awesome. Reminds me of some of the snowmen Calvin used to make.
Like this one:

Sure there is... just do this!

Here's the recipie:

When you see the image you like, right click and choose view image, then use the resulting url as the link. Voila!

Edit:D'OH!!

Our links are identical, you clearly already know this recipie, then why did it work for me, and not you? I think because I followed your second link and that cached it for my link. Sorry.
