and WHY is minaret a "blight"?

It's ugly & alien in a European city.  They do look cool in Baghdad or Damascus, where they belong.

I have to admit, RoboJesus emerging from his slumber in that lake is pretty fucking cool.

I've come to love Big Butter Jesus.

What places are you thinking of? The only place that I've been to where such wouldn't fit would potentially be Italy.  I think they'd be fine in Spain, Berlin, Amsterdam, Paris and London.

Besides, based on those American ones I posted, they can be tailored to be suitable for any location.

We do that at Bengals games at the end of the 3rd quarter (without Jesus, though).

This BEGS for a YMCA set-up.

That's pretty common at basketball games, actually.

And now that I think of it, I was at a college football game where the Village People played at halftime.

Agree to disagree, then.

I wouldn't say *any* location.

True. I don't know why I would think someone like you would have a sense of taste. It's like expecting Marty to.

[Jaron]

You're talking to a man whose heart would swell with pride if his boy called the president a nigger.

[garbon]

Fair.

Tampa has some pretty cool minarets, but they aren't associated with any mosque or place or worship. The University of Tampa, which is housed in a 19th century hotel, is built in a moorish/morrocan style, which means minarets aplenty.

Brighton has the wonderfully pointless 19th century pleasure palace pavilion which is rather foreign looking:

I love it personally.  I think every city needs a healthy dose of the preposterous.

That's uncalled for.

[katmai]

Anyone who has tbr access knows your shitty taste

[Martinus]

What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

[garbon]

That's uncalled for.

No, it isn't at all on the level of what you spoke about.

[Martinus]

I guess I will just have to live with the fact I will never be able to reach the heights of Languish sense of taste.

Like XXXL plaid shirts. Or blue hair. For example.
