Rock on! axlrosen locates the most impressive boulder, 25 feet in height and blocking both lanes of the Topanga Canyon Road in Malibu yesterday. One always imagines what a lovely place Malibu must be. There ya go.

What's an "ass boulder"? And why's it look like a photoshop job? Maybe it's just the bad lighting..

I hate my first post to be a correction...
 

It really doesn't matter, but I noticed that this is actually Topanga Canyon Road... Not Topeka. Anyway, amazing photo. And hello to everyone.

I'm pretty sure it's not shopped, it was on the front page of the Rocky Mountain News this morning (yesterday?). Of course, that doesn't prove much.

But now that I think about it, I don't remember seeing the crane on the right-hand side... I'll have to doublecheck.

i saw that on one of the news sites so i believe it is legit... cuz i believe everything a newsman tells me.

That's a real pic. I drive that road a couple times a month.
I want to know what they plan to do with that thing.

Welcome chainsaw... I've correctly the entry, thanks!

I got a chuckle out of this.

I must say that is the biggest ass boulder I've ever seen. I guess the bucket truck is the power co. as the power lines look pretty mangled.

By the looks of the skid marks on the road, when they do move it they may find a paper thin vehicle underneath.

My guess is they will have to blast it with dynamite and haul it away a peice at a time. It would be nice if there were no structures below. Then they could just roll the damn thing over the shoulder of the road.

There is a major difference in a big ass boulder and a big assboulder. For comparison: the difference in a big ass hole and a big asshole...... :crazy:

Remember in old movies when some tough guy would say he'd spent time making little rocks out of big ones?

I believe those are power lines, not skid marks.

Probably real, the Washington Post has it up. Most places the double yellow line is in the middle of the road but this looks like it's on the edge? Anybody know why? Chainsaw? Nutbar? :confused:

That is the middle of the road. The black lines are power lines laying in the oncoming lane.

Somebody got a link to the ass?

It would require an election to decide which ass would get the link here, Griff.
