The American? ANYONE?!

[Johnboy976]

I spoke to another one of the reps. He says that it is up and running. They have had to continually change dates due to construction issues. This guy was pretty sure they would still be in the works when he got back from Afghanistan in late 2007. It's hard to say if it is canned... unless of course they put up the statue in New York in hopes that someone there would foot the rest of the bill.

Why is his foot up like that?

He has a lil Captain in him...

Maybe if we agree to lift his leg up a little more we could get them to sponsor it.

Inga: He vould have an enormous schwanzstucker.
Dr. Frederick Frankenstein: That goes without saying.
Inga: Voof.
Igor: He's going to be very popular.

I could get to hell many diffrent ways on that one...heh..

This really may be an idea that has been dropped in the can.

Maybe they would get more support if they were more public.  People have to actually try to get information on what is going on.  Shouldnt they have a website up that talks about where they are at in the project?  Seems like it might be an interesting way to raise some money too... hell, I dont know.  Buy a brick or whatever.

At least keep it in the publics eye.  95% of Tulsa probably forgot all about the giant naked indian.

The American website

They haven't updated the website in a long time.  If you contact them, they say The American will be  finished in 2010.  It would be nice if their web page included a timeline or something...

[cannon_fodder]

It hasnt been updated since 2004.

"See what Tulsa, Oklahoma has planned for 2007!"

This used to be such a peaceful thread... Nothing ever going on...

One could just sit and reflect on what made LaFortuna drool like a big dog... over a ten story Indian...

Why can't it just be the way it used to be...?

But while we are here... What happens to the piece of dirt "Billy Boy" said Mr Gray could have for his Masterpiece..?

Oh yeah, and by the way... On an ironic note: "The American" website declares that Chuck Garrison (a really nice guy, and someone I am in close contact with) was returning home September 1st, 2004 from a tour in Afghanistan. Well, as of 2006 he has again returned to Afghanistan and will not be expected back for another year from now. It kind of shows you how up-to-date the site is.

That is a pretty sad statement about the project...IMHO

More than 350,000 pounds of bronze!

What does that metal bring per pound at Borg Compressed Steel today?

Will the Metal Vampires have every portable SawsAll available chewing off parts of this thing as soon as the sun sets?

I think a miniature version of the statue would make a lovely table lamp that would be a tasteful addition to most any bordello.
