1. Wow! Mrs. T_N is incredibly small!

I bet you could put her in a pocket and never have to buy two movie tickets! :silly:

2. Christ, I thought the one in Gardner, Mass was big. That one beats it

by a factor of about six.

3. As amusing as things like this are

All this contains is a lot of wasted money, energy, and natural resources. My next stop:Worlds largest rubber turd. lol.

4. you know it's gulfport by the trailer

where the owners or employees probably have to live while rebuilding their home

i tell you what, the spirit of the people is nothing short of amazing

5. Is this thing pre-Katrina or did it make it through the hurricane? Seems

unlikely something that flimsy could survive and I'm stunned they would make restoring a piece of trash like that when people are living in ruins. :shrug:

Any idea if the phot is pre or post Katrina?

6. Post, I think.

the concrete has 2006 engraved in it, so I'm thinking they either rebuilt it or they built a total new one. it has little damage.

7. There's a "big chair" in Thomasville, NC, about 20 miles from where I am..

It's known as Chair City. The furniture industry is a staple in this area, although with imports, it has dropped off considerably.
