Glyph
Glyph is worse than some and better than others. He believes that life is just one damned thing after another, that only pop music can save us now, and that mercy is the mark of a great man (but he's just all right). Nothing he writes here should be taken as an indication that he knows anything about anything.

It’s pretty telling that when I hear “new stadium” I instantly think “How much did they con out of taxpayers” followed by “I bet they threatened to move”.Report
Something looks like it’s going to move, that’s for sure.Report
Too… Much… Potty… Humor…
Must resist…Report
I foresee a blowout in toilet-related puns.
Maybe Starbucks should build a store in the shape of a huge coffee cup next door.Report
That was my first reaction too. I’m more stunned by the fact that this one is privately funded than by what it looks like.Report
Could the design be some kind of strategic move to encourage public funding (and therefore design) in future projects or negotiations?
“OK, we’ll fund this one ourselves…but you won’t LIKE it…”Report
It would be oh-so-easy to turn this into a flying saucer design; though there’s some risk of a bed pan instead.Report
Riffing off of Gary Larson-
The city will think twice about hiring this architect to design the new Proctology Clinic.Report
The architect has reportedly been bitter and obsessed, ever since losing the contract to design Citi Field.Report
A plus!Report
It’s not as though it only looks that way from one angle, either. What were they thinking?:

“Shootin’ at the bowls of heartache, bang bang…”Report
Really, Obama the peace pres is bombing Syria and this is the best folks can discuss?Report
Performance art.Report
That might explain Obama’s latte salute if Obama is just a performer and not a president.Report

Well, all posts here can’t rise to the level of piercing insight you regularly bring to bear, @notme . Sometimes a post is just something somebody finds amusing, and puts in a little off-the-cuff link, and people can click it and comment, if they want.
But really, don’t feel obligated to do either when you see my name on the post; though a low comment count on a post is always depressing, so I do appreciate you taking the time to bump the number up ever-so-slightly.
Quantity, not quality, I always say.Report
The Warriors hope the new stadium will be a full house, but they’ll settle for a flush.Report
