Gazprom-City Project
Didn't talk about this for a week.
Only heard one day that most all designs were standard European architectural designs that would fit anywhere in Europe...nothing distinctly Russian.
I agreed. That was what I had complained about before. (Only now an expert also made the statement...not sure if that gives me validity or knocks me on the head.)
They decided on the design for the new Gazprom-City project.
It will be something that they have already dubbed "the corn-cob."
Let me tell you why...it looks like a pillar...a column stretching into the sky...but twisting into the sky.
I've seen it once on some columns...but the Romans and Greeks would never twist a column like this because it is structurally inferior to the direct design and load-baring design of their own.
I say only one other thing in this shape...it wasn't actually a corn cob...it was a dildo.
So...Gazprom-City, the new crowning glory of Saint-Petersburg, the new "monument to oil and gas," this some billion dollar project to bring prosperity and symbolize the great power of Russia and it's economy (of oil)....is really just a giant phallus...a glass dildo.
As Dr. Vinkman (Bill Murray) said in Ghostbusters, "Yes, Mr. Mayor, it's true. This man has no penis."
No problem....Gazprom can build you one!
[Note: This I may have to add to the official news. :-) ]
[Edit: OK, maybe I did crack...but I'm allowed as I'm the editor and every other paper here is getting to do the same.
