Turkmenbashi's revolving golden statue removed from plinth in Ashgabat Everyone knows about the excesses of Saparmurat Niyazov, aka Turkmenbashi, former post-Soviet dictator of Turkmenistan. His 90m-high, golden, sun-tracking statue was removed from its plinth today, four years after the dictator's death.
Perhaps it will find a new home on the fourth plinth, in Trafalgar Square, London?
Oh and: There once was a thread on MoFi
That contained poetry bout the 'bashi
zorgon forgot
to link to this spot
and thus his post is that trashy.
And MoFi does not rhyme with trashy. But I'm glad you mentioned it; I was about to post a comment reminding you, pedantic ass that I am.
Ah good: they've freed up that space for my golden revolving sun-facing statue.
Exactly my thought, Monkeybashi. *bows*
But, Monkeybashi, I have been scouting locations around my area (California Central Coast). It'd fit right in with Hearst Castle, Morro Rock, The Madonna Inn, Bubblegum Alley and the Pismo Giant Clam.
Monkeybashi, I can visualize you up on that plinth now...
*closes eyes*
*opens eyes*
Actually, I was visualizing you in more of a gold aspect rather than red, but hey, whatever.
I am now down one laptop, thanks a bunch. *blush*
I'd kiss that.
