Why is that guy down there reaching for the antlers?
Because he’s horny?!
/eighth grade humor
I just like the random floating head of the security guard at the bottom. LIke – he’s surrounded by the Sistine Chapel and there he stands.
I like that guy too–he’s surrounded by this oddly beautiful thing, and I wonder if he notices, or if he’s resenting his job and just thinking the whole day “I hate this fucking place…”
yeah, really.
“Bah, I’m hungover. dum de dum dum dum … ”
Is that the one in one of the buildings around Rockefeller Center?
Why is that guy down there reaching for the antlers?
Those aren’t antlers, that’s a baroque trapeze
boom tish
We’ll be here all week, folks!
What is that mural, anyway? It looks like some sort of WW1 vision of hell as done by Goya – the birds in the sky look like a combination of airplanes or devil bats, and the line of men at the bottom are reminescent of a line of soliders with weapons on their shoulders, and it also sort of evokes trench warfare. But it’s also got that ‘greatness of man’ thing going on too. What is a kicker though is the security guard is sitting at the ‘Fire Command Station’, which, given the way the painting looks (and just seems to go on, and on, and on down the hall), seems highly appropriate.
