Mr. TV Head - Ottawa 2005 by Mikey G Ottawa.

An outdoor public sculpture of a suite of living room furniture. Probably my only chance to 'be on TV.' . . . . Cousin Rob's doing. . . . Now my neighbour is calling me . . . Mr. Flanders, the churchy character from the Simpsons!

The sculpture weathers the outdoors very well and includes a doorway frame and aluminium easy chair- for watching this 'TV'. . . . . on the lawn.
Making 'statistics' work for the Mayor's Office, ya figure . . .Len?
Mark Twain said, "There are lies, 'd-mned lies' and then there's statistics!" - to that effect. Thanks for your visit, comments, nyctreeman!

LOL!
With the current rubbish that is on most TV shows, this one seems to be refreshing as well as honest!!

My TV . . . blew up! A part inside 'gave up the ghost' with a flash and a puff of smoke. Not missing it much. Getting 'square eyes' on Flickr, these days.
Why, thank you so much, The Grand Duchess! 'Honest', it is- all right. Had I known that I would later post this on Flickr, I think that I would have 'spruced myself up' a bit! Thanks for your visit and comments. All the best!

I like that, Len. You make me laugh. I did find this essay about NYC- by the old riverboat pilot, himself that you might like:
www.boondocksnet.com/twaintexts/speeches/mts_ munigovt.html
The views therein are the opinion of the writer, Samuel Langhorn Clemens. Don't 'click' on anything, though- over there.

I am not sure if that is you in the tv if so you are real luckey that a dog didn't come by and lifted up his leg and pea. I could' n't pass it up and not say something.Amodioart

This is probably, the most recent photo of myself in the whole 3 sets of photos, Amodioart! I took off my glasses to fit my head in the back of the 'TV set' here. Cousin Rob took this photo last summer Sept. 05. The dogs were leaving us alone- and no mosquitoes!
Anytime- feel free to stop by Mikey G's!
Thanks for your visit and comment. Happy New Year 2007!

This reminds me of the movie The Bed-sitting Room. It's set in post-apocalyptic Great Britain. The "BBC" consists of one guy who goes around to people's "homes" (most people live on a vast mud flat) where he squats behind what's left of their TV's and reads the news to them.

Yes, it's a comedy.

That sounds hilarious! I'll look that one up.
Thanks very much, Cranky Media Guy!!
cool.

Cranky Media Guy says:

Yeah, it's very absurd and funny, in a British way. You may have trouble finding it on DVD, though. DO NOT buy a copy from 5minutestolive.com. I did and it's virtually unwatchable, like a fifth-generation copy or something. I'm glad I have a copy of the movie, but I really wish it was watchable.

What a media-rich world we live in! 10 years ago
we would not be having this conversation, C.M.G. !.

Media Studies? I gotta think of www.trexfiles.com

I'm still learning how to do that kind of advanced
Internet, computer stuff! 8 year-olds probably
know exactly how it's done, though!

Thanks So Much for dropping by Media Guy.
You don't sound cranky at all . . . ?
Best to you and yours!

Sheesh, we might not have been able to have this conversation FIVE years ago! Imagine what we could do if I could get ANY kind of high-speed Internet out here at the Edge of Nowhere (Oregon coast).

for a while i've played with the idea of looking at life as if i was watching it through a screen- so naturally i was drawn to this picture instantly.
