Saban's statue
« on: April 18, 2011, 03:23:36 AM »
It looks absolutely ridiculous. 

The head is enormous.  It's obscenely out of proportion.  It looks more like Andy Griffith than Saban. 

On another note, the remainder of the statues (while laughable for a variety of other reasons) all display at least an attempt at a modicum of decency. 

Bryant, Stallings and Wade statues are all wearing coats and ties.  Bryant's hands are by his side. Stallings arms are folded. Wade's hands are behind his back.  The Thomas one (who never actually won a NC, but why quibble) is wearing coaching gear, but his hands are in his pockets.

And then there's big-head Nick's statue.   

Forget the fact that the head is absurdly large or that the fat-fingered hands look like enormous canned hams jabbed on the end of a two-by four. 

The statue is posed like he's clenching his ass to suppress a bubbling watery shit.  It looks like he's wearing one of Maude's used track suits.  Zero dignity.  It exhibits zero class.  What in the bleeding fuck were they trying to convey with this bronze monstrosity?  It looks absolutely stupid.  At least the rest of the statues make some effort at dignity.  None here. 

It really looks ridiculous.  Like an Andy Griffith balloon in the Macy's parade.

What did Andy Griffith do to deserve that comparison? I happen to like Sheriff Taylor.

I like Andy, too.  Force my daughter to watch the shows (only B&W ones) and tell me what lesson she learned. 

That statue looks like him.

In color Andy and Opie just doesn't work.  Warren was an idiot that wasn't funny.

Howard was an unneccesary character as well.

It just so happens also, that when Knotts left, the show went color shortly after. I think the shark was jumped when he left, not really when they went to color. The chemistry was gone. It just happened at the same time.

Howard, Emmett, gawky half grown Opie,  Warren "huh? yeah, huh? yeah", too much of that snarky bitch Helen, too much Goober.... all that might could have been handled.  But then you add Sam and Mike? 

Pffffffffffttttttttttttt.... garbage. 

The color ones just don't have the same resonance.  I won't even watch them.

Completely forgot about Howard and Emmet....just tune out the color ones I guess. 

Helen needed a good hard fuck.  Maybe get her drunk and pull a train.  Goober was a good character early on, when he didn't factor in much...he wasn't good as an every episode character.  Floyd was horrible post stroke too.

Agree on Helen. What a bitch. I always liked Ellie the lady drugist. Or Peggy the nurse. Peg had an ass that wouldnt quit. Andy woulda tore that hide up in the courthouse after hours. Him and Otis could've ran a train on that shit. Plus with Otis present, there would have been plenty of booze for everyone. And I think she would have liked it. Could you imagine Barney walking in on that?

B: ANDY ANDY!!! What are ya doin???? Where's ma bullet?

A: Ohhhh, nuthin Barn, just getting a lil slice of ass is all! Aint that right Otis??

She had Andy chasing that poon all up and down Main Street in Mayberry.

The eyes and smile got me...hers that is.  Do you think Andy really fucked her?




Another coupling that would be entertaining: Briscoe Darling and Aunt B.  Bricoe with B bent over the kitchen table screaming Oh! Oh! Oh, Mr Darling, well I nevah!  While Bricoe hits a steady beat with each stroke blowing on his jug.  "Oh", "shoooo", "Oh", "shoooo", while the boys play Let me be your Salty Dog.
