    man, as soon as I leave the neighborhood to pull an all-nighter at NYU, the guys down the street light up a gigantic christmas penis. it's like the snow penis at Harvard last year...or the year before...

    you can email cameraphone pix to flckr. but you're *almost* making me think i should put boots and coat back on (no, these pants with orange skulls on them aren't old navy halloween pajama pants) and capture the 'beauty' of daveb's penis art. well, it might not be daveb. it could be someone else on the block. we have some great pervs around here.

    i would say wait until your walk home tomorrow evening, you know it will be dark before 5-6pm... so penis candle should be on with the flashing lights behind it.. i feel like it's one of those "flaws" in design wherein the designer is cracking up laughing... like, did people really buy this?

    *the penis candle is not as anatomically correct as the harvard snow sculpture*

    Oh, better yet: save it for the Festivus party! You can hide behind the pole where no one can see! :D

    they're metal, right? think there are any metal poles or anything in the refuse from that building that got ripped down? maybe a random metal pole hanging out somewhere on washington down toward bergen/dean?

    I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be specifically aluminum due to that metal's good strength to weight ratio.

    one time in college my roommate carved a pumpkin into a penis-o-lantern, then there was a big blackout and we walked around our neighborhood using the penis-o-latern like a real lantern.

    ah yes, the male fixation with representing the penis. there are all sorts of freudian elements at work, i believe, but at a very basic level, i still think it's pretty hilarious.

    dear dh world,

    so my trusty camera phone and I were attempting to document the 'penis' light and we spotted a candle shaped light. the bottom part of the candle is white and the top is yellow. this is in 802 washington sorta above the party store. my camera phone was kinda whining at me that it was too cold and didn't want to take the picture. I got the shaft (*snort*) with my attempt to document this awesome sight and ended up with this as evidence:

    image

    if any of you can do better, which I'm sure you can if your camera phone isn't pmsing, go forth and post candle-penis pictures.

    love,
    alafairnadia & her really-cold-and-pissed-off-camera-phone

    It does look remarkably un-penis-like.
