I think it is too avant guard even for them.<br /><br />I think it's plastic sheen makes it worse than either Rocky or Robocop, but maybe that was some sort of homage or reference to the skill of his surgeons.JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10749223049615363296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-50034044492050594632011-05-06T05:36:30.850+00:002011-05-06T05:36:30.850+00:00Maybe we should suggest that JP lobby to have Mich...Maybe we should suggest that JP lobby to have Michael moved to in front of the Tate.<br><br>O Dockerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08674140306304705852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-18031222179081957072011-05-06T05:29:51.477+00:002011-05-06T05:29:51.477+00:00O Docker, That's the first thing I thought of....O Docker, That's the first thing I thought of. Back in the day, he used to be at the North entrance to the Spectrum.<br /><br />Four years ago, my wife's relatives from Italy came to visit. It was our day to host them since we live only about 40 minutes from center city. I procured an Italian-speaking tourguide, and we did a tour of the historic district, including Independence Hall, Ben Franklin's gravesite, and the Liberty Bell, which by the way, has an inscription of my friend's last name on it.<br /><br />Then, while they all waited in the courtyard in front of the Betsy Ross house, I drove to Jim's on South street and brought back 25 cheesesteaks. Big hit!<br /><br />The only other thing they wanted to do that afternoon was to drive to see the "Rocky Ladder". I piled 8 of them into my car and we drove to the Art Museum, where they took pictures with Rocky, and took turns running up and down the steps while videoing each other singing the theme from the same movie. Hilarious, and I was proud to have provided them with that kind of memory.Baydoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00751866865203182109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18283526.post-23347833143205734812011-05-06T02:57:01.775+00:002011-05-06T02:57:01.775+00:00O Dock, it could be much worse:
