"...we need similar sized statues all over town." - recycle
As a child, your parents read Gallivers Travels to you a lot didn't they? Could be what you really want is to transorm the IDL into some likeness of Lilliput, but are afriad of being too obvious?
Curious.
Stubbed my toe on the fountain night before last while walking home. The thing is so small that if I had tried to do that I probably would have missed.

One could be peeking in a city hall window, another wading the Arkansas river, maybe one that straddles route 66...
Would the one in the river be standing "pee deep?" If so, I would enjoy a lifetime of chuckles...and would gladly donate to the cause! ("Pee deep" - Definition: The depth at which it becomes impossible to ascertain whether or not a person standing in a body of water is actually peeing.)

And it gets hit again Bartlett Square Fountain Damaged In Overnight Crash Thursday January 25, 2007 7:31am Posted By: Kevin King www.KOTV.com Tulsa - The Bartlett Square fountain in downtown Tulsa was damaged overnight after a driver ran into it.
According to police, the woman was driving south on Main when she hit the fountain, cracking the car's windshield.
The woman then got out of her car and ran away, hiding in an alley near 4th and Boston.
Police arrived and later found the woman and arrested her on suspicion of DUI.
Simply flabbergasting lol. And some still have the gall to say that humans didn't evolve from primates. Ran into an alley and hid lol, Silly monkeys. [ ]

I guess Owasso drivers education doesn't include traffic circles in the curriculum. Both girls were from Owasso.

From this morning's Tulsa World article: 'I hate to spend a lot of money on it, but we're talking about traffic engineering, speed bumps, lights and reflective material or something,' (DTU Director Jim) Norton said." That all seems a bit excessive, doesn't it? It seems like a simple "No Drunk Owasso Girls, Age 20-30" sign would suffice.

I could see using Raised Pavement Markers (RPM's) to show where the road goes: Some Examples...but just about anything retroreflective will beat another Acorn Glare Bomb in the face.

Was this Owasso chick a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader too? Bartlet Square, THE place to be for drunken Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders from Owasso..... Kinda has a ring to it.

Sure, but then you'll need a public restroom.

Is that why she ran off into the alley?

It seems our goofy little bird bath of a fountain is a "chick magnet."
Perhaps we should declare the fountain "functionally obsolete" and demolish it. Then stick a real fountain in the upcoming Centennial Park one block south. Then rename "Centennial Park" to "Bartlett Square."

Afterall, they are a "City of Character." [ ] Perhaps next month's "character" banner could read: "Sobriety: Ensuring that my buddies take the car keys away whenever I drink Miller Lite." Or... "Drunk driving: Knowing that if our community would license a few bars, I wouldn't have to drive to Tulsa to get all liquored up."

"If you can't dodge it, ram it." Apparently the Owasso Rams take that slogan to a whole new level when they drive downtown.

The centennial park is supposed to get a good fountain. Maybe we could go real high tech and replace the bartlett square fountain with a hologram...
