I'd take that

^ yeah colds got it. Something non-traditional. Obelisks are nice... but better suited for a memorial of some sort? In my mind anyways..

Not necessarily that either... something to cause conversation.

Perhaps a giant blue bear peering into the building

Kevin_foster · #**8183** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 3:04 PM**

^ haha or something dramatic, like a giant statue of Mandel with a light sabre

Daveography · #**8184** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 3:06 PM**

^ You're Hired.

Why not? at least it's spectacular. Isn't that the patriotic motherland-somthing-or-other statue in Russia?

The statue could straddle Capital Boulevard, like this:

Then we can all walk under him & look up and marvel at his................magnificence....

It's in Kyiv, I believe.

Jasper and one o nin · #**8194** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 6:38 PM**

Volgagrad
used to be Stalingrad. Memorial of the battle of Stalingrad

Xelebes · #**8195** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 6:41 PM**

Er, right. Kyiv one looks different, I guess.

Taken from this link.

Mandel on one side, Steady Eddie on the other...

^ hahah, better on Gateway blvd. Or have bill smith replace mandel and put it to the entrance of SEC.

CMD UW · #**8199** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 8:26 PM**

Or taking a cue from The Neverending Story, two giant Sphinx.

Kevin_foster · #**8200** Posted **Sep 25, 2009, 9:25 PM**

^ quite possibly the scariest moment in my childhood was watching that scene.

I can't look at any Statues, Sphinxs', cherubs, etc. without getting the impression that they are going to kill me if I walk past them.

That and something to do with needles and dogs...

edit: a little friday off topic for ya
