Yay! Cause I’ve been wondering.
I want to know who built Cadillac-henge.
Good point. We should have more henges I think.
And the hengemen to build them.
Related, kind of. Or not really. On NPR today they had this one guy that intoned that “food has almost a mythic importance to Chinese culture.” Do they ever listen to themselves before they run these things?
Stanley Marsh, McGehee, although I think it’s actually called Cadillac Ranch. And then there’s Carhenge, of course, built by Jim Reinders.
Americans and their cars. Goofy love story, indeed.
hf, maybe he meant that for many generations food was a kind of collective memory of the ancients handed down from generation to generation.
But that’s same for everybody. His actual point was that we should be understanding about Chinese protectionism cause they’re all special and mythic about food.
Happyfeet:
recall that henges are a white male patriarchial construct.
seriously, i read it on Amanda Marcotte’s blog.
<smacks forehead>
You’re right, Jim. Maybe I was thinking of Subaru-henge. I always get those two automakers mixed up.
My point was all oblique I know but it’s mostly that in the end, these days anyway, all this stuff is just fodder. Stonehenge, chow mein, Easter Island, coelacanth fossils, the Bering Land Bridge, whatever. Everybody’s got an agenda, I tell ya.
See? There you go. Thanks, Mcgruder.
No, hf, what I mean is that in China, for generations, food was a kind of rumor, mostly.
Ahh. That is wise.
A spoon does not know the taste of soup.
I recall reading that Stonehenge, until the 19th century, had suffered continual vandalism since the days of the Romans, who made (half-hearted, perhaps) attempts to destroy it.
In other words, I’m not at all offended.

I’m not offended by the restoration attempts, I should say.

That one’s in Tokyo, I think.
You can usually most reliably tell ’em apart by the bumper stickers, I find. Any variation of “You can’t hug with nuclear arms” or “Buck Fush” is going to tip it towards the “Subaru” side.
They tell me Subaru drivers also aren’t as good at parallel parking. Not sure just what to make of that.
When are the compu-henge guys going to restore that keyboard that automaticall type what you think? I am just so sick of having to do it myself. Maybe “Changey-truthy” guy will use some of our confiscated money for this project when he becomes president.
Jeebus! Will somebody PLEASE come over here and cut my keyboard wire? I just can’t make myself stop…
