Bah, I thought this thread would be about the River Fleet

Someday an F18's gonna take out the Pyramid, and we'll all wonder how they ever let this happen.

This will be fun to watch from the BofA building.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:25 (twenty years ago)

or the DE YOUNG

― 400% Nice (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:29 (twenty years ago)

Sorry, I just had to mention the DE YOUNG

― 400% Nice (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:30 (twenty years ago)

TOP GUN, TOP GUN, TOP GUN...

Is the De Young open again?

― walter kranz (walterkranz), Thursday, 6 October 2005 18:55 (twenty years ago)

It opens again this weekend I think, right?

Every time I go by that building, I can't help thinking that the architect has created the ultimate cell-phone proof structure.

― mikef (mfleming), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:02 (twenty years ago)

Oh I guess it's opening next weekend....

― mikef (mfleming), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:13 (twenty years ago)

It looks like the headquarters for the bad guys in a sci-fi flick.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:18 (twenty years ago)

Fascistic without the hints of humanism that even Speer employed, hulking, eyeless, hard without any touch of nobility, and thrusting up over the trees, it feels out of place. I hope the interior is warmer.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:24 (twenty years ago)

Wow, one them just flew past at eye level!

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:25 (twenty years ago)

This is going to be a miserable weekend to live downtown.

― recovering optimist (Royal Bed Bouncer), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:29 (twenty years ago)

i like the building. i think the park needs more of them. HUNDREDS, even

― 400% Nice (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

― 400% Nice (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:30 (twenty years ago)

mmm cute sailors ;-)

(mine has sadly hung up all his uniforms for 2 years to go to grad school, he didn't like my suggestion that i go to class in his dress whites so much.)

― lyra (lyra), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:31 (twenty years ago)

suggestion that i go to class in => suggestion that he go to class in...

I was working on a movie once, some God-awful thing whose name I've forgotten, and we had to do exterior shots on a day when the BA were flying about. The sound man, not to mention the ADs, was most unhappy.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:32 (twenty years ago)

lyra, your subconscious cross-dressing fantasies are safe with us. Promise.

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:33 (twenty years ago)

Encouraging him to go to class like that would be like me encouraging my wife to go to work dressed as a cheerleader.

― 400% Nice (nordicskilla), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:34 (twenty years ago)

Yes?

― M. White (Miguelito), Thursday, 6 October 2005 21:39 (twenty years ago)

So this is a real thing? I thought it was just something they invented for a mediocre episode of Sex and the City.

I was going to complain that this was not about the river, then realised that it was about SAILORS. Naval gazing, hrmmmmmmm.
