Thankfully, municipal governments everywhere have invoked at least *some* kind of public response.; June 12, 2011 at 11:13 AM

VS better be sure she isn't copyrighted in some way.; June 12, 2011 at 3:57 PM
Hamish Mack said...: Except that a Teeter-Totter is really called a See-Saw.
However their dangeroscity is undiminished and warning signs are appropriate.; June 12, 2011 at 5:53 PM
Substance McGravitas said...: Apparently nobody goes to these parks.; June 12, 2011 at 6:20 PM
Dr.KennethNoisewater said...: Please tell me Sausage Haus turns into a gay bar at night.; June 12, 2011 at 6:29 PM
ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...: See-saw! That is what we called them when we were little kids in D.C. back in the 60s.

Mr. McGravitas (IF that is your real name!), pleased to meet you. My real name is Ant E. Social.

VS, that would be an obvious extra use for the joint, but I'm guessing most of the patrons/staff just go home and sleep off their heavy meals and beers. And the place closes at:

Open Mon,Sun 11am-9pm; Tue-Thu 11am-10pm; Fri-Sat 11am-11pm

mikey said...: You don't have Wednesday where you live, Thunder?; June 12, 2011 at 7:39 PM
ifthethunderdontgetya™³²®© said...: Wednesday is a small subsidiary of Tue-Thu, Inc.

When they came for Wednesday, I did not speak out, because I never loved Wednesday...

Hamish Mack said...: They decided the park needed some filler
So they put up a statue of Mr. Schiller.
He doesn't do much has no need for his brawn,
Just shouts at Umbrella girl "Get off my lawn!"; June 12, 2011 at 11:15 PM

You mean, they don't burn them off with big-time sexicality?
