Slinks back...

So, this surfacing business didn't really work out as planned. I had omitted an impending flood of assignments from my calculations. Let me give it another try.

First of all, the -- I hope eagerly anticipated -- reveal: It was the politician.

( Here's what the inscription says. )

Yay! I knew it was the politician! How very cool. :-)

Yes, there are few politicians that would make a pretty statue... but I am certain that this one didn't actually look like this in life, either (except possibly for the conservative-but-trying-desperately-for-vaguely-unboring hair).

Aha! Look at this:

Not bad at all, as politicians go, but the physique of the statue is clearly - erm, shall we say, art. ;-)

no amount of waving your cat in front of the flap will have an effect.

LOL! At least, it won't have the effect of the cat flap learning the cat... but it might be amusing. ;-)

(Now I'm picturing a bunch of cat-waving customers...)

I also think there aren't many who'd be happy to be immortalized like this. Such a boring bunch, they are...

Hm, don't knwo about that... generally speaking, they do tend to be boring, yes, but they also tend to be vain as hell. Not everyone would go for the "naked" look, but in general?

Let's see. Oscar Lafontaine would be a candidate for the naked statue... hm, who else...

The naked look was kind of what I meant. :-)

And yes, how could I forget about Lafontaine...!

how could I forget about Lafontaine...!

That's what he wants to know!!

Joschka Fischer, too. And probably a bunch of other Greens. Plus there's a relatively unimportant ex-CSU local politician - Gabriele Pauli - who'd also go for it (she already had one slighty SM photo shoot with black lacquer). Bill Clinton might be tempted. And don't forget about Jürgen Mölleman, he would so have been there. And... I'm sure I can come up with some more if I give it more thought. ;-)

But anyway, are we sure that anyone asked Mr Holland his opinion before erecting that statue? It seems to me it could have been someone else's brainchild...

OMG! Silvio Berlusconi. HE WILL SO DO THIS. Mark my words.
