Down With the Rusty Cock!

Posted by on May 31 at 14:58 PM

This, my friends, is what ugly looks like:

I have named him Fucker, Fucker the Rusty Cock, and he is hideous. I walk by this guy every day. He sits outside Square Room, the little art shop on the corner of Broadway and Pike, and I hate him. I hate his little rusty pig friend, I hate his little rusty chicken friend, and I hate the rusty flowers with rusted petals that sit in the flower box next to him.

Maybe you don’t agree. Maybe you want Fucker the Rusty Cock to be a part of your garden? Well, that little price tag wrapped around his rusted little eye says “$410.” Go crazy. And get it out of my sight. Because honestly, and for the love of God, I can’t look at him anymore.

(Now, to alleviate all this bad energy I am releasing into the universe with this negative post, here’s something positive. It’s all about balance.)

I so fucking agree. These fucked up things have taken over the entire sidewalk and now the store has made what looks like a pen around the tree in front of the store. They sometime "place" these ugly ass things in there.

-- we do not agree, i love the pig so much... he is on my new cd cover!

(no, really)

He may be hideous, but he fucking kicks ass. His ass-kickery does not warrant more than $20, though. That's about how much I'd pay just to throw him outside my door.

i kinda like the little pig. not a big fan of the pen theyve built around the tree though. wheres a dog gonna poop when she needs too?

I like the artwork. I give you the right to dislike the artwork. But you know what does irritate me? Gen Xers who feel the need to grab onto a little piece of crappy nostalgia by playing stuff that wasn't good in the 80s and isn't good now. Honestly people, the only good that came out Gem and the holograms were the oversized Gem doll heads which conveniently fit right on top of the pencil and swayed back and forth when you wrote. So, although I give you your right to hate the rusty cock (possibly both the art and the sexual position), there is no need to bang the nail into the bad taste coffin by giving the world any easy way to access a Gem video. Whew!

Granny garden-art comes for cheap at Wal-Mart.

looks like you've made the cock cry...

I call the pig Betty. I like it. It does make walking through there a bit complicated. :)

I hate just about everything in that store. Most of it looks like the crap my 40 year-old tweaker brother occasionally cranks out in my mom's garage in a feeble attempt to do something constructive with his life.

Seriously, do people actually buy that shite? And at those ridiculous prices?

Hm, maybe he's onto something after all...

I don't like the cock. But there's lots of cool shit in that store.

A thousand Renton housewives can't be THAT wrong, can they?

Thank you for drawing my attention to this extraordinarily ugliness. I've been working on embracing my inner Fucker and this piece of... work might be just what I need.

i would totally do that chicken....even though the pig is hotter.

The metal sculptures are better than most of what's in the store. Not interesting enough to warrant their price, but they're ok.

I went to the original recipe Square Room across from the BofA on Pike @ 14th looking for christmas presents in December, and I swear they were selling large conch shells and driftwood pieces for something like $40. I can appreciate a store that has esoteric art that appeals only to a small segment of the population, but selling shit you can find on the beach for that much money is pretty ballsy.

Then again, I'm sure someone bought it...

That is ugly. I didn't even recognize it for a cock until you pointed out what it is.

i want to hump that rusty cock! so hot!
