About one month ago, this temporary fencing was delivered across the plaza from my office building. For those of you not familiar with it, this is the type of temporary fencing that is used to secure construction sites, music festivals, and the like. It can be assembled in less than a day and doesn't cause permanent damage to grounds, asphalt parking lots, concrete, etc. I find it highly ironic that the delivery company used temporary fencing to secure the temporary fencing.The thing is... no one knows what this fencing is for. It has sat there unused since its delivery date in the beginning of October. No one in our building ordered it. There is no pending construction on campus that would necessitate securing an active site. The jazz festival isn't until spring, so that can't be why it was delivered.
The fence suspense has me wondering what potential uses there are:
A make shift prison for those pesky squirrels running amok?
A "build it yourself" zoo kit for the biology department (tigers not included, some assembly required)?
A Ken & Barbie life size S&M dollhouse?
A border fence for a new breakaway country?
Any other ideas???
I can't believe it has lasted that long without being disturbed. What's wrong with kids today?!? :)
ReplyDeletePerformance art?
ReplyDeleteOkay, it's Tuesday, wise ass. Who knew? Shuuuuuuuuuuu. Apparently only IV knows.
I believe that's "shushhhhhhhhhhhh!!!"
ReplyDeleteChristmas tree lot. That's my guess, and I'm stickin' to it.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Megan. Good guess. So when it snows you can just walk over, cut one down and haul it back to your apartment on your sled. Wow, it's so hard to find a Christmas tree in CA.
ReplyDeletehi bob
ReplyDeleteShort term jail cell?
ReplyDeleteAdopt a new pet booth?
Either of the two for those damn squirrels?
Some nouveau art. Like that guy who put a bow on the Reichstag, but you know, a small smaller scale because this guy is just starting out.
ReplyDeleteIt was put there to see if you were paying attention. Now that you are...it will go away.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I could think of, I know. Sad.
In Seattle, if that thing sat there too long, the city council would declare that it had historical significance and money would be spent to maintain it in original condition.
ReplyDeleteMegan...And it was there during Halloween undisturbed. How spooky is that?
ReplyDeleteBlottie... Knowing this place's attraction to really bad art, your theory may actually be correct!
Megan again... Around here those would be referred to as non-denominational holiday decorative nature units.
Blottie again... Dammit woman, you used the four letter s-word on my blog. And I don't mean shit or sled.
Kylie... Hi Kylie
Queenie... Those darned squirrels need a halfway house or to find a hobby. They're insane!
whatigotsofar... Yeah, the art angle might be correct answer. It would be better than some of the crap they call "art" around here.
RC... I pay attention to my bosses too. They haven't gone away either.
CSI... That might not be as far-fetched as you think!

ReplyDeleteI do believe somewhere someone is missing a fence.
ReplyDeleteThose fences work for the city waiting for someone to tell them what to do.
Don't listen to Hunter. He kills animals. What? I'm taking out my wrath. Hunter, I love you but you suck. What?!
ReplyDeleteWow, you got a "delete" and not from me!!! Yaaaaaaaaaa Hooooooooooo!!!
ReplyDeleteI keep coming here to stare at the fence. Maybe it's for the new community garden. Or the giant hamster.
ReplyDeleteLeah... I stare at the fencing everyday. I pretend I'll be able to use it to lock up all the people who are a pain in my ass. Strangely, I don't think there is enough fencing to do that.
ReplyDeleteSuzanne...that is o.k. vent. I know you are a wonderful person and know that you really don't mean it. Vent away Vent away
ReplyDeleteI came back to look at the original fence. It is reassuringly the same.
