That makes me think of the Chinese Kungfu movie with lots of flags.

Yeah I can picture walking onder these flaps and crouching tiger or hidden dragon comes out of nowhere.

Hmmm... maybe Jackie Chan could remove the eyesores.

They're not as numerous as I thought.

You can see the whole park here(2500kb)

Okay, this article about the Gates summarizes everything that is astoundingly wrong with New Yorkers. They try too hard. All of them. No one is secure enough to develop his own opinion, much less express it.

"I'm here because I really wanted to say that I had seen it," Aller said, standing on an outcropping of rocks that offered an impressive view of "The Gates" swirling through the south end of the park.

Because that's obviously why I went to see a bunch of orange (yes, orange) fabric flailing from metal beams like my long underwear back in the plains of Kansas.

"Everyone's talking about it," she said. "You know, because we need it, our souls need it -- the beauty which this brings."

Are you serious?

Well, "all of them" is obviously not true, and if you remove that, it applies to just about everywhere.

I read in Smithsonian that the counterweights/anchors are steel but the uprights and crossbar are actually square plastic tube.

It's kind of like being a little kid in a room full of ladies with pleated skirts.

The Sommerville Gates cost slightly less than 'The Gates' in Central Park in New York...but every bit as impressive. :p

I realize now that was supposed to say something like, "my long underwear swaying on a clothesline ..."

Shit. I suck.

xoxoxoBruce · 02-19-2005, 01:08 PM

I knew exactly what you meant, does that mean I suck too?

VisionarynWinKS · 03-03-2005, 05:17 PM

Witches in Wichita,
theres no place like home!
Did you forget a broom?

Happy Monkey · 02-17-2005, 08:44 PM

That would probably be to make them bottom heavy, and less likely to fall over.

They were wind tunnel tested, also.
