So Exciting It Just May Make You Tinkle.

This weekend Bossy’s whole town turned out for the unveiling of a new clock at the train station!

Several neighbors were chosen to pull the tethers:

As the canvas billowed in the fresh morning breeze the crowd grew breathless with anticipation:

And then the countdown began. Five, four, three:

Two, one… tah-dah!

And so at precisely 11:04:38 it became official that Bossy’s town now Swings the Biggest Dick has the biggest clock:

   This one has had me completely baffled. Dude, it’s just a clock. (We skipped the unveiling, but wandered into town for the moonbounce. Can’t miss the moonbounce.)

   i guess you can see the BIG CLOCK when you are late..and far away from the train station. I bet the chatty ladies wore depends in case the excitement did make them tinkle.

    I was also curious about the time. Why 11:04.38? Is that when the general population is out and about? Wouldn’t lunch time have been a better time? Or dawn or something?

    I’m sure the time was chosen because the hands are more dynamic at 11:04 than at noon, when they all but disappear. Ever notice that all clocks in advertising are set for 10:10? No? You didn’t? My bad — my brain is FULL of crap like that.

    The closet clock we have to that is the one that was installed in our local Friendly’s. It was gigantic although not as large as yours, and so one day they took it down.

    G’day from Australia, Bossy,

    As someone who always has time for humour and photography, I thoroughly enjoyed your captions here.

    (Came here from Nap Warden)

    Look, Lady, if you’re not going to RESPECT the unveiling of the clock, maybe you should just stay HOME during the unveiling of the clock, lest you distract the more sincere clock-unveiling fans.

    The above was, of course, intended for the chatty woman in the pictures. Not you. You obviously respect the clock.

    Yup, I like those folks that completely ignore why they are were they are.

    Something about that makes me very, very happy.
