The ugliest snowman

35779-DSCN2706(2).JPG

I don’t know if some intrepid Sierra Madreans went up to Baldy and got a truckload, or if this is the crushed leftover slush from a late night at the Buccaneer, but this old boy at Baldwin and the Boulevard is the sorriest snowman in the San Gabriel Valley, so far as I can tell. Of course, maybe he’s the onliest snowman in the SGV, too. And it’s true that the lime eyes are a nice touch. This morning he was melting away in the wind and picking up all kindsa grit from the air … Merry Christmas anyway!

    Oh dear, Larry. You really do hate Sierra Madre, don’t you. Pull the lump of coal out from between your ears and come up for air someday, y’know?

  2. larry says:

    me? i love me sierra madre. had a breakfast burrito from mary’s just this morning. fixing to move there, especially when someone in the fine town knows who kraftwerk is, and no doubt follows the controversy over whether removing the hum from its analog recordings ruins them. no, i’m just calling an ugly snowman in the most beautiful town what it is. oh, dear. merry christmas to you! larry

  3. Kraftwerker says:

    Move here? Will that be before or after your patrons in the BIA turn Sierra Madre into another condo hellhole like downtown Pasadena?

    And Larry, really. Removing the “analog hum” from recordings that were made mostly on synthesizers? You can’t possibly be that clueless, can you?

    Oh wait. You’re the guy who wrote about Sierra Madre having no “American Americans.” How could I have forgotten.

    I just took the Trans-San Gabriel Express. Kind of like traveling in a plastic bread box.

    all snowfolk are beautiful in their own way, larry.

  7. Coffee Gal says:

    Larry’s kind of a weird guy—he’s always mocking everything. He used to come into Bean Town on a pretty regular basis when his daughter was attending Alverno High School. I guess those wonderful public Pasadena schools that he’s always championing weren’t good enough for his little girl.

  8. Iggy says:

    Larry likes to be out front with his surfer boy bohemian past, but nobody gets coffee faster for the likes of Ed Roski than our boy Larry.

    Who wants to take bets that Mr. Snowman actually stood taller than Mr. Larry Wilson ?

    And Mr. Snowman wasn’t wearing elevator shoes, either.

  12. Kim Thomas says:

    Hilarious pic. Hope your Christmas was great!

  13. Bean Town says:

    Larry Wilson is just angry that private citizens took the initiative to build the snowman without being authorized by a government bureaucrat or the Pasadena Star News editorial board.

    A few days after Christmas, a mother was working in the kitchen listening to her young son playing with his new electric train in the living room. She heard the train stop and her son said, “All of you sons of b*tches who want off, get the hell off now, cause this is the last stop! And all of you sons of b*tches who are getting on, get your asses in the train, cause we’re going down the tracks.” The mother went nuts and told her son, “We don’t use that kind of language in this house. Now I want you to go to your room and you are to stay there for TWO HOURS. When you come out, you may play with your train, but I want you to use nice language.” Two hours later, the son comes out of the bedroom and resumes playing with his train. Soon the train stopped and the mother heard her son say, “All passengers who are disembarking from the train, please remember to take all of your belongings with you. We thank you for riding with us today and hope your trip was a pleasant one. We hope you will ride with us again soon.” She hears the little boy continue, “For those of you just boarding, we ask you to stow all of your hand luggage under your seat. Remember, there is no smoking on the train. We hope you will have a pleasant and relaxing journey with us today.” As the mother began to smile, the child added, “For those of you who are pissed off about the TWO HOUR delay, please see the b*tch in the kitchen.”
