Behold!


By request of the Sea Lord, the giant Dirt Man of the Diamond Center Mall. Actually this was an attempt to creat the world's largest snowman. However, breakup being what it is, snowmen devolve into dirtmen, or poopmen, or worse. This pic was taken either in 1983 or 1987. Everything else in between is a blur.

Note that it as least three times the height and ten times the mass of the snowman that made the national news recently.

It has been compared to a smiling frozen cesspool, or perhaps a 50-ton Mr. Hanky.

It stands as mute testimony to a particular mood of Anc-Ak in a deep cement grey winter, a kind of desparate attempt at cheerfulness ground into frozen dirt, much like the muck on the side of the 1980 Rabbit, except half formed into a cartoon grotesque after being fed into a towering futility by powerful front end loaders.

Much thanks to the Viceroy for retriving this image, providing critical documentation of one of America's greatest man-made diasters.

The scar may long remain. The knowledge is never forgotten.
