We wipe laugh tears from our eyes in
thanks to *****, who forwarded news of
http://www.whatshouldiputonthefence.com . We're just sorry to
have learned of this site so late, as it doesn't appear that this
inspired performance art tomfoolery is ongoing (lawsuits, you
know). The short version is that a London-based cyclist arrived
at his usual bike-locking fence near work last year, on the first
day of the Tube strike, to discover that the landlord of said fence
had installed a sign forbidding the locking of bikes upon it. Our
hero, "The Fencemaster," adopted the droll response of locking a
variety of items -- from an ironing board to a teakettle -- upon
it. No signs against *those*! He's also photographed each item,
provided extensive (and extensively witty) narrative,
researched the genealogy of the buildings' owners and the history
of the area where the fence is found, and, it appears, enjoyed
more than a few pints in the pub fortunately located just across
the street. This is one of those that just gets funnier and funnier
the deeper you dig. Highly recommended for hours of happy
timewasting.
