- IamZed, on 06/20/2009, -1/+45A mere weekend on meth.
- itlnstln, on 06/20/2009, -1/+45And his wife stuck with him for these 34 years? That must be the most solid marriage I've ever seen.
- doublefelix, on 06/20/2009, -1/+29He better spend a few years on a seismic retrofit or he's going to be in a world of hurt.
- MrBastian, on 06/20/2009, -0/+27Video of the sculpture in action:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TI6Xn_5LqQE - zephc, on 06/20/2009, -0/+26Well if he has spent 34 years and 3000 hours, he's spent on average a 88 hours (little over 3.5 days) a year working on it - plenty of time for doing things with the wife.
- yevkasem, on 06/20/2009, -1/+2234 years and they took 3 pictures of the thing?
- inactive, on 06/20/2009, -0/+12Say what you want about the nerdiness of people who make toothpick construction, those sculptures are bad ass.
/and I didn't use "bad ass" for at least 15 years. Thats how bad ass they are! - imnojezus, on 06/20/2009, -2/+14Wouldn't it be ironic if it were destroyed in an earthquake
- ghatid, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10I'm impressed he had a dog during that time...I mean, having a puppy around must have been stressful.
Also, 3000 hours over 34 years = ~88 hours a year. What the hell? He wasn't really putting much effort into this was he? - PandaBearShenyu, on 06/20/2009, -0/+10Like trash talking on digg?
- faraggi, on 06/20/2009, -0/+9the ping pong balls seem out of place.
- manjar, on 06/20/2009, -0/+8It's amazing he stuck to it, not just taking a stab but poking along for 34 years. And after years of his wife's skewering questions - "what's the point?" - I'm surprised their marriage didn't splinter.
- allspark, on 06/20/2009, -0/+7i wanna give this man a highfive
- TheSkunkMonkey, on 06/20/2009, -0/+5Now I understand the Styx song "Too Much Time On My Hands". Sheesh!
- TheCatsProxy, on 06/20/2009, -0/+5He's married. Of course he's not.
- Parlo33, on 06/20/2009, -1/+5i saw this at the sonoma county fair last year and it was truly amazing, just the looks alone amazed everyone and then all the sudden ping pong balls started rolling though it, you cant even tell it has tracks in it. and how he transported the thing is beyond me
- Syric, on 06/20/2009, -0/+4God forbid people have hobbies.
- PsychoPNut, on 06/20/2009, -0/+4that sounds gross
- greenlight2001, on 06/20/2009, -4/+8Maybe he does some crazy ***** bed.... with toothpicks.
- inactive, on 06/20/2009, -1/+5he spent a half century making a terrible looking spider web
- TeabagginKRose, on 06/20/2009, -1/+4I'm just waiting for the moment his big ass dog sees a bouncing ping-pong ball and jumps into the sculpture completely destroying San Francisco in a matter of seconds like a dog version of Godzilla. 34 years gone....
- RANDOM667, on 06/20/2009, -2/+5I'll pay him $10.00 to burn it.
- RANDOM667, on 06/20/2009, -0/+3I tried making a little house from toothpicks when i was a kid, but the fumes from the glue made me high and i never finished it.
- finalcloud33, on 06/21/2009, -0/+2actually I think its a little "meh" for 34 years worth of work... though still cool
- Threlly1, on 06/20/2009, -1/+3Nutter.
- EarlOfLade, on 06/20/2009, -1/+3Looks like what I would call a "frustration build", someone is not getting enough!
- smaisch, on 06/20/2009, -0/+2... All it takes is one powerful earthquake ...
- Meocross, on 06/21/2009, -0/+1Dedication
- s73v3r, on 06/20/2009, -0/+1Truly, they were as gods who built that sculpture.
- thegrantman, on 06/21/2009, -0/+1Don't go pointing fingers.
It took you how many decades to figure out a Styx song? - RWFG, on 06/21/2009, -0/+1The hell with San Francisco. Can't wait for it to fall into the sea.
And not because of the pillow biters, bunny humpers, butch 'beauty' queens, and defeatocrats. - Nboy514, on 06/20/2009, -2/+2Must have been a sad moment for him when he completed it.
- icanhasgossip16, on 06/22/2009, -0/+0I believe that he has a point
Even I understand the song. - lagmar, on 06/20/2009, -2/+2***** pics = who ***** cares.
- jman583, on 06/20/2009, -6/+6Random fact:
UK teens view 87 hours of porn per year.
http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/uk-teens-vi ... - pygmy, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1Actually more interesting than the title would suggest
- icanhasgossip16, on 06/22/2009, -0/+0Seriously what do you do that's productive last time I checked trash talking wasn't productive
- icanhasgossip16, on 06/22/2009, -0/+0okay for thirty four years it's good but honestly who has the time for that. I believe it's ah-maz-ing but I'd never have the time not even to bulid a toothpick replica of a small town
- maloventevil, on 06/20/2009, -1/+1har har har
- icanhasgossip16, on 06/22/2009, -0/+0Rage much?
- RobertWright, on 08/13/2009, -7/+7The sculpture is Awesome, time well spent!!
- ryanmrich, on 06/21/2009, -1/+1not 100,000 1,000,000 picks
- Syric, on 06/20/2009, -3/+2Not really, no.
- BallaShoes, on 06/20/2009, -2/+1http://digg.com/arts_culture/Model_of_San_Francisc ...
- mike42979, on 06/20/2009, -3/+2For some reason watching that video made me want to run and crush it but that would be cruel!
- SirCharge, on 06/20/2009, -3/+2Give me 34 seconds and a bat.
- Energy12, on 06/20/2009, -1/+0hehehehe, why not if you dont have anything else to do during the days
- NiftyG, on 06/20/2009, -3/+1Four ping pong ball tracks....awesome.
- inactive, on 06/20/2009, -3/+0It looks sensational, well worthy of an art gallery exhibit. But I can't figure out how he spent 34 years on it. Did he grow the trees for the toothpicks and raise the horses for the glue himself?
- RickScarf, on 06/20/2009, -7/+3Must... resist urge... to stomp...
