#1 I'd leave it up as a pigeon crap magnet to reduce the amount of cleaning you have to do on the other statues nearby.

Even pigeons have opinions about this guy.

#4 Really disappointed; typical communist statue pose.

I wanted half of the height to be a sultan hat, curly slippers, and a hole in the pocket.

#5 ^ Man, that's why I love this place. PC SH statue parody? Boooring! SH parody (still obvious as hell) with all the edgy trimmings, Slim Gaillard and South Park references, and a Mohammed cartoon impaled on Yippie's finger? Yowser.
