Oh man! My dad was so totally going to build one of those, but then the NEA wouldn't approve the helipad. Said it detracted from the neoplatonic post regressive modernistic charisma of the piece.

I wish I'd been that guy's aluminum siding salesman.

Where else but in Texas?!?!?!?!?

WOW!
A triple simulpost - how cool is that!

Hey, I already saw that and didn't send it in yesterday!

Do you think they'll give me money to refurbish my beer bottle house? I need to buy more beer bottles to replace the ones that keep breaking.

No one had better be huffing or puffing. I wonder if I could build one out of Rum bottles?

Yikes!
Remembering a mis-spent youth and general lack of tidiness, I can only imagine what the house smells like. 5 day old empty beer cans and bottles are pretty raunchy. Can't imagine what decade old discards smell like.

Eleanor, I am crushed. After last weeks simulposts, I thought I was the only one.

"99 bottles of beer on the wall
99 bottles of beer
take one down
pass it around
98 bottles of beer on the wall"
This is how they demolish the house!

Love the song!

Does "an art endowment" mean a check from Dave Barry? I hope so.

Kim and Witch,
Cool links.
... can't imagine this much imagination.
note that both are in the desert - heat stroke?

Witchie, my house would be all brown. And it would say Budweiser all over it.
You see, I'm a connoisseur of macro-brewed beer. I want the motto of my favorite beer company to be, "Budweiser, we spill more beer in one day than most others brew"

And how is "Room With The Lights Going On and Off" better than this?

will they be accepting beer can donations from a local college perhaps? buuurpie.

Even more interesting, there was a sidebar on this page about a couple who are creating & selling candles called "His Essence" that they claim will "smell like Jesus".
Hmm...

Still trying to figure out the cause of death - cirhosis of the liver vs aluminum poisoning...

He cut the cans open and flattened them, then attached them to the walls when aluminum siding became popular. His wife left him. It looks really cool from the street. I can't imagine from where this photo was taken.
