That makes me think of the Chinese Kungfu movie with lots of flags.

Okay, this article about the Gates summarizes everything that is astoundingly wrong with New Yorkers. They try too hard. All of them. No one is secure enough to develop his own opinion, much less express it.

"I'm here because I really wanted to say that I had seen it," Aller said, standing on an outcropping of rocks that offered an impressive view of "The Gates" swirling through the south end of the park.
Because that's obviously why I went to see a bunch of orange (yes, orange) fabric flailing from metal beams like my long underwear back in the plains of Kansas.

"Everyone's talking about it," she said. "You know, because we need it, our souls need it -- the beauty which this brings."
Are you serious?

Well, "all of them" is obviously not true, and if you remove that, it applies to just about everywhere.

I read in Smithsonian that the counterweights/anchors are steel but the uprights and crossbar are actually square plastic tube. :confused:

It's kind of like being a little kid in a room full of ladies with pleated skirts.

That would probably be to make them bottom heavy, and less likely to fall over.

They were wind tunnel tested, also. :)

I realize now that was supposed to say something like, "my long underwear swaying on a clothesline ..."

Shit. I suck.

I knew exactly what you meant, does that mean I suck too? ;)

Hmmm... maybe Jackie Chan could remove the eyesores.

Orange, and color theory yes I agree the Gates first Impression to me were just that
the gates of hell and they do look like Car racing flags too, Budhas new line of
robes (Buddhists love orange, ) and Orange you glad to see me...
I observe color theory, movement and gestures especially in Rosemaries baby
I did notice she had Orange and Yellow curtains in her kitchen... she always wore
blue she was a good girl , but on the days she felt ill dark maroons, and orange
the night she concieved the beast! Any research on this for real?

VisionarynWinKS 03-03-2005 05:15 PM

Carrots, leading you in to help you make a desirable exit.
Perhaps orange is the color of a lifesaver, warning you about your entrance
like safety cones along the highway.

VisionarynWinKS 03-03-2005 05:19 PM
