Not much time to write today since we are in the midst of moving-in insanity at our new office.  I’m quite pleased to find out there’s even more places to eat within walking distance.  In lieu of words today, I leave you with two angles of what appears to be a disturbing statue outside the building.  There are several scattered throughout the property, but this one out front is a head-scratcher.  Am I the only one who sees this pose and thinks “Man Being Shot While Fleeing From Police”?

"Working Man Overwhelmed by the Inanity of his Office Park." He's saying, "WHY, GOD? WHY MUST I WORK HERE???"

Fantastic! Others I thought about were "Man fleeing nuclear fallout" and "Man about to be gored at the Running of the Bulls (Pamplona, Spain)". In addition, you can't see it but there is white bird poo on the right part of his chest. Had it been in the left/center, it would have looked like a white gunshot wound.

Okay, looks like you'll set the record for comments not on one of your thankfully infrequent but nonetheless insightful entries on politics or religion or the Designated Hitter, but on this one. Guess I'll drink the Kool-Aid and try one. Maybe it's a statue of the guy that bought your old place and hired your scum-of-the-earth neighbor to paint it getting his first nasty e-mail from him. Seriously, it's killing me - what the hell is this statue supposed to represent? And please tell me your tax dollars didn't fund it.

Kudos to all who have chimed in so far. Of the 3+ years I've been blogging, this is probably my favorite set of reader comments! General, the area surrounding my new office is one of many office parks around there so those sculptures are definitely privately bought. There's actually some normal ones on the premises like an old couple on a bench among others, but the one shown above is the WTF Statue of the area.

Re: Moving in    By James on 1/7/2008 10:31 PM
BTW, there is no placard or any memento of any sort in front of this statue so all of your submissions are valid titles for this sculpture.

Okay listen, this will work! I'll put the box down right behind him and then you start running towards him from the front....
