Yep...it was sitting across from my job, over at LOVE Park. I kept meaning to go over there (it was under a big tent), but never got around to it. And it was sitting next to the fountain...from what I heard, people liked it so much when the fountain was turned pink by vandals over the summer that officials decided to dye it pink this month for cancer awareness.
Now, will the city fill it with soap or foam for Xmas, because people thought that was great when vandals did that too (about a month before they turned it pink, from what I remember)?
It has changed in hue though--it was more of a hot pink until earlier this week, when it became more of a carnation pink.
From listening to the organizers on WHYY a few weeks ago, apparently the colon had been given/earned a nickname--CoCo (COlossal COlon), but the people in charge don't want it used--they want people to talk about colons out in the open. You know, it's not dirty, don't feel ashamed or embarrassed, etc. etc.
Okay...fair enough. Ladies and gentlemen...
I HAVE A COLON!!!
Thank you.
