Mountain Preserve Benches

Post by olesma »

While hiking around in the Preserve on Saturday, GTG made an interesting point - what kind of a tribute is it to someone to provide a bench for people to rest their "sweaty asses" (to quote GTG) on?

I figure - why not. I'm going to dedicate my life to having a bench put into the Preserve for me and I want to compose my own plaque, part of which will read:

"Bring me your tired, your weak and sweaty asses..."

I looked up the actual quote on the Statue of Liberty and it says: "Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse of your teeming shore" - while appropriate editing wil find that quote only applicable to someone following in my (or Hoolie's) wake, a slight textual modification and it all works out just fine.

Any other grand ideas for what you would have on a plaque dedicated to you out in the Phoenix Mountain Preserve?

You are not - repeat NOT - Elvis.

Despoil not the name and fame of the King in this manner!

Dracula is a possibility - but not Elvis.

This one's for Hooli for the dig about my company while hiking -
"He's still alive"
Even though he's alive, I could think of a certain plumbing fixture in the park restrooms to have a dedication plaque on for 'ol Hooli. :wink:
