YOU, F. O.!
What a great adventure, to get away from our small town and enjoy the sights of the big ci…. Dear Lord, look at that! Gimme the phone!
911, What is your emergency?
There’s a giant Flying Saucer hovering over the north end of the harbor.
We appreciate your call, but that is not an emergency. That is our new arena. The designer is hiding out in Honduras. There is talk of impeaching, or lynching, the city councillors who authorized it. We have received letters of condolence from both Reno and Las Vegas. Don’t be alarmed, and have a nice day.

It seems a lot of us had that thought, especially a couple of rubes from the sticks. 🙂

It’s a very small conspiracy. We could just call Beevis and Butthead – or Ren and Stimpy. 😉

Hehe, this is funny. Maybe they need a huge billboard saying, “not a UFO.”

Like SightsNBytes story, no-one would look up to read it. I’m surprised this pair did. A huge billboard in a nearby city reads, “Go ahead, text and drive.” It’s sponsored by a funeral home. 😯

Wow – a hover arena! Very George Jetson-ish!
Apparently it was supposed to be attached to its foundation, but if the designer employs PR firm to do damage control, they could say it was a last minute change to update the design for the future 🙂 🙂

Letters of condolence! haha, yikes. Maybe the stadium will become appreciated over time for its resemblance to a UFO.

Sorta like the pot calling the kettle black. The stadium is already doomed; that’s where the Justin Bieber concert is booked. Give me an AC/DC show where you can hardly see the stage for pot smoke. 😆

HAHAHAHAHAHA! Hilarious! This was too funny! I have been in on some city council meetings in my home town and, trust me, there have been some big mistakes made on occasion. I relate.

That was a hilarious story! That 911 responder’s words were perfectly phrased. Love it!

And your kind words were also nicely phrased. This 911 call isn’t nearly as crazy as some of the real ones. Some folks shouldn’t be allowed cell phones – or out of the house. 😯

Hilarious, Archon. I thought it looked either like a flying saucer or a revolving restaurant. Well written. I liked your conversation with the emergency operator. 😀 — Suzanne

Fortunately, I’ve never had to call 911. I have seen/heard it happen as I’ve watched a lot of TV , even when it wasn’t an emergency. 😛
