STONY ROMANS – interactive statues
statues are not quite as passive and stony-eyed as we might like to think. not all of them. not in rome, anyway…
‘go to rome’, they told me back in africa, ‘you’re such a good-looking lion, you’ll get loads of modelling jobs, no problem.’ and look at me now…
is that hideous creature still sitting there staring at us? i don’t know darling, just to be safe, we should just keep pretending like we’re dead…
shouldn’t we perhaps be telling the authorities about all these ancient artifacts we just dug up? nah, just think how great they’ll look if we just plaster them into the wall!
hey boss, are these guys even allowed to land their balloon in piazza del popolo? look, there’s a cop over there, let’s keep out of this and not get involved
wait, you’re like a big-shot movie star, huh? that’s why you’re on that huge poster, huh? look, all i’ve got is these flowers, but i’d really, really like it if you’d…
what? it’s NOT raining. and me in my raincoat and… oh, great, now tourists are even taking pictures of me!
how i hate camera-wielding tourists! i’d really love to flip him the finger. now, if only i had my flip finger left…
why do i keep feeling like i’m being watched today? oh, there’s a guy pointing his camera at me, that’s why!
boys will be boys. or statues
boys will be boys. or predictable
excuse me, mister, um, caesar: could you please tell me which way it is to piazza venezia?

I love this series! You have a good eye and a great sense of humor. Here is one for you, just for fun. It isn’t Rome, but Chicago. I think she is pointing out part of her own anatomy, but we weren’t quite sure why – LOL! http://criticallawnmower.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
thanks, ann
When in Rome…it pays to have a sense of humor. And a good eye. Great post.
grazie!
Ciao, great set, very humorous text. Lynne
ciao. thanks, lynne
This entry is hilarious, the photos have stories, funny stories completed with the caption. Haha, you made my night!
so glad to hear that!
A great sense of humour with a distinct eye for photography. Loved this. Thanks for dropping by. I’m glad I’ve discovered another interesting blog.
thank you, face.
black and white can be moody. but nobody ever said it has to be a bad mood
and that’s going straight to my collection of quotes!
you just made my day
Very nice series of pictures. I like the one with the builder- I wonder if he posed for it?
thank you, sue. he certainly wasn’t posing: just ‘working’ in a very relaxed manner

In a sentence: This is very good work.
