Miss Gould's head now has pride of place on the bar in her pub.
"We would love to meet or find out who it is, whoever it is is extremely talented," she added.
I'm with Miss Gould. I want one. Like the first one.

How about Mysterious Stoned Heads. Or was it the artist who was stoned????
Posted by: AmerInParis | October 02, 2007 at 10:13 AM
Glad you like them Siouxie - thanks for the lovely book. I couldn't resist peeking forward to the last chapter to see how the milennium ends.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 10:14 AM
Did somebody write a book about the millenium (so far)?
Posted by: Layzeeboy | October 02, 2007 at 10:16 AM
Do I have to save some for my daughter??
Layzee, I think so. But you wouldn't know it from the Blog. He NEVER tells us anything!

The British have the market on eccentric random humor just about sewn up, I think. Of course, the Blog has the market on well-ordered orchestrated humor well in hand, for his part.

*waves to CH!*
LTNS!! how've you been?? the girls?? the Mrs??
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 10:57 AM
I've been poking my head in from time to time... been trying to focus on actually working for the fellow who hands me my paycheck. *sigh*

Thank goodness he didn't do this in Boston, or he'd have been shot on sight, then had his corpse dangled in front of a news conference to show how tough the Boston police and/or TSA are on terrorism.
Although... has anyone checked whether squirrels are involved? Was there any yarn or fleece found nearby?
Posted by: Wahooligan | October 02, 2007 at 11:04 AM
Hey Clean...eccentric random humor WBAGNFAIrishRB, don't ya think?
Posted by: daisymae | October 02, 2007 at 11:06 AM
ahh...I hear ya. I actually hand myself my check ;-)
but been quite busy as well.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 11:09 AM
Perhaps the message is: Everybody must get stoned!
Posted by: Wench Lizzy | October 02, 2007 at 11:11 AM
*zips in*™
LOL, Wench.
Siouxie, you and CM getting posted together - YAY. Our Sioux has done it, once again!!!
My fave line is "I opened the door and there he was, as large as life, sat on the patio."
Large as LIFE?
*wonders who the stoned one is*
Posted by: Eleanor | October 02, 2007 at 11:14 AM
*smooch* El!
Those villagers are very trusting. That wouldn't happen here in Miami. We'd call the bomb squad and SWAT team and the Dept. of Homeland Security. By the time they figured out it was JUST a stone carving, we'd end up with dust.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Nice smokescreen, there Sioux...er, Clara Martinez, giving yourself a high five. I know you're the same person! And now you have cookies!
Posted by: Suzy Q | October 02, 2007 at 11:27 AM
Did someone mention cookies?
Posted by: Eleanor | October 02, 2007 at 11:45 AM
El -- I could mention Rockies. But I won't.
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 11:48 AM
Oh, wait. I did. My bad.
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 11:49 AM
there's just something odd about this guy giving head, NTTAWWT
Posted by: mm | October 02, 2007 at 11:54 AM
Suzy, shhhhh
and lol mm!! plenty head too.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 11:56 AM
Hmm. I wonder at what might be stunned silence. THEN I remember that you are Eleanor, the (High Blog Priestess?) of FCDA. Then I wonder if I should shut up.
And now I remember what a wonderful lady you are while fearing what you might be typing as I type this.
Therefore I won't shut up, but rather ask you a question -- does the SD media want to gobble up Denver about now?
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 11:59 AM
We here in Phillies land would have rather played the Padres-you used up your best pitcher (Peavey) last night, lost 2/3 of your outfield, and don't hit as well as the Rockies. Lot of heart and excitement from both teams last night. Great game. Congrats to the Rockies. Phillies in 4, though. Cubs and 'Backs are both beatable. Phils-Red Sox World Series. Phils revenge 1915.
Posted by: WayneHere | October 02, 2007 at 12:09 PM
Okay, it appears we've hit a wall. Or at least Matt Holliday did.
(Sorry, El. Really. Your team has been great for years, and one of my teams is older than The Grrl.)
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 12:12 PM
(Check that -- ALL THREE of my MLB teams are older than The Grrl.)
Whut? Who says we can't have divided loyalties?
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 12:16 PM
I woke up once and found about a dozen pink flamingoes in my yard. I freaked and hid under the bed for like a week until I found out it was some kind of fundraiser for March of Dimes or something....
I still have nightmares, though. But these carvings are kind of cool. I would probably only have to hide under the bed for like a day.... tops!
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | October 02, 2007 at 12:18 PM
I guess not. Welcome, AD. To the rest, a goodnight,
Posted by: WriterDude | October 02, 2007 at 12:28 PM
Sorry, WD.... just read your previous posts. I'm not very knowledgeable about sports stuff....
Posted by: Adult Delinquent | October 02, 2007 at 12:33 PM
WD - I feel bad about the Padres because they are CG's team, and when he's sad, I'm sad.
However, my team is going to the playoffs.
And I will be there with them. ;)
Posted by: Eleanor | October 02, 2007 at 12:55 PM
I've always wanted to do something like that at Easter. Beats eggs any day.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 12:58 PM
I was hoping the Pads would win for Kelly. Take THAT, Hernandez!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 01:00 PM
El, you know I love you but...
My other team is too.
I can't go against SK AND Prof. Just can't. I'd probably find one of those creepy stone heads in front of my house if I do. The one that looks like him...
*shudders*
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 01:00 PM
Wayne - I love 'em too, but you are WAY to optimistic.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 02, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Speaking of foolsball...
You and Annie will be proud of me. I will actually be going to a foolsball game - a live one too!! with real quarterbacks and tight ends (hehe)! Yale vs. Darmouth.
That's like the NFSL (National Football Snooty League) right??
*hair flip*
*actually going to CT for the pizza (Pepe's)*
shhhh don't tell my friend.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 01:05 PM
Speaking of (a)stone heads and (b)MLB (which we seem to be doing): (a) the best part is the Geordie accent of the announcer; and (b) living, as I do, less than a mile from the Historic Ivy-Covered Walls of Beautiful Wrigley Field, I am compelled by local law to suffer along with you-know-who. Failure to do so is a misdemeanor the rest of the year; but in October it's a shoot-on-sight capital crime.
Posted by: Betsy | October 02, 2007 at 01:10 PM
Betsy - aren't they on the verge of celebrating their 100th year of losing? Hey, ya gotta celebrate what you can, right? At least your pizza is almost as good as New York's.
*ducks*
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 01:22 PM
Annie, how long do I have to spin in order to work off one of your cookies??
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 01:29 PM
Define 'spin.' Before the blog boys do it for you. :)
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 01:38 PM
um...the type you do with a bike?? not the midget kind. I'm a bit too tall for that.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 01:40 PM
Hmmmmm .....
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | October 02, 2007 at 01:52 PM
Annie....I am so secure in the area of Chicago's pizza supremacy that I feel no need to rise to your bait. Which reminds me, hold the anchovies...
Posted by: Betsy | October 02, 2007 at 02:58 PM
No thanks - YOU hold the anchovies... ick. Or we could send them to Canada.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 02, 2007 at 03:32 PM
Speaking of weird carvings, here's one that all you kilted-men-loving bloggals should get to attract the right kind of guy.
You're welcome.
Posted by: ScottMGS | October 02, 2007 at 04:02 PM
I sense hostility in the air and I'm not opening any of the links since mine in my last post, which are the only ones i know for sure are very cool.
And where did Writer Dude go? Couldn't stand the heat, eh? ;)
Posted by: Eleanor | October 02, 2007 at 04:13 PM
*SNORK* @ Scott's wooden seat!!!
El...it's funny!! trust me!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 02, 2007 at 04:16 PM
El, are you smelling hostility or anchovies?
Posted by: Suzy Q | October 02, 2007 at 04:18 PM
Scott, THANK you for the loverly photos! *fans self*
Posted by: DeskDiva, Prom Queen | October 02, 2007 at 04:36 PM
I knew when I saw it that I'd have to share that with you-alls.
Posted by: ScottMGS | October 02, 2007 at 04:37 PM
OK. I trusted you, Siouxie and looked. Yes, the wooden seat is very funny!
I'll pass on the anchovies, SusyQ. I like them in antipasti salads, but not hot on pizza. :)
Posted by: Eleanor | October 02, 2007 at 04:46 PM
Actually, what I like is the Essence of Anchovies Past. (Recherche du Anchovies Perdu?)
Nothing like a nice Greek salad which has had its former anchovies removed.
Posted by: Betsy | October 02, 2007 at 07:17 PM
Hello!So nice to read your blog.
I'm a Chinese girl and I like making friends.
Am I welcome here?
