2008 Imitation of Life

onThe original tower:
It’s the Campanile in St. Mark’s Square, Venice.
This is our version of the tower:
The King Street Station.
This is Denver’s:
The D&F Tower.
Now the D&F Tower is better than the King Street Station for two reasons. One, its clock actually fucking works. It tells you the time that it is now and not what it was decades ago when it broke. Two, the basement of the tower is the home for Lannie’s Clocktower Cabaret:
Last night, members and fans of the cabaret watched this speech…
…on a big screen. They watched her with great interest and longing. Some in the room even cried. Actual tears. So unbelievable.

But how old is it?
Never mind, I found it. King Street Station is 4 years older. :P
You don't understand. Fixing a clock Seattle is different. Seattle has hills.
The clock is broken because John McCain spent 5 1/2 years in the Hanoi Hilton.
The Stranger paid for Chuck to go to watch the convention in a tittie bar in Denver? Couldn't he do that in Seattle?
architecture, architecture, objectification of women, vague political/philosophical justification. Must be Tuesday.
@5 - Not with the three foot rule or whatever it is.
Another downside to the King Street tower is no easy access for snipers. The D&F tower is perfect for snipers or laid off tech/postal/government workers to express their repressed rage and frustration.
@7 - so that explains the three nutjobs in Denver ...
yeah it was a special night, made me happy
btw, the King Street Station clocktower should be stripped of all those antennae cluttering up the top of the spire, all of which have been non-operational for years, transmitting nothing to nowhere....
King St. tower clock has been fixed and is now working.
This is the original tower, smart guy:

"Some," Charles? Name names, if possible!
@9 - but then we'd have to stop using tin-foil helmets ...
"it's" = contraction of "it is."
"its" = possessive adjective.
Therefore, "its clock actually fucking works."
Thank you.
Ahh, it's been corrected. Now my @14 just looks silly.
