    you forgot the chime in the slime, remember that, what a catstrophe that was


    btw again erection at the intersection is too long too many sylables in the key words doesn't roll off the tongue.


    so far ace with the bass and the brown in town fit the naming convention best

    And all those names are negative towards the subject of the statue, so although 'ace with the bass' is quite good it does not seem to follow the theme quite right.

    both these don't cut the mustard, i mean "the brown in town"

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭J.R.HARTLEY

    second and last words generally have to rhyme


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 78 ✭✭smalltalker


    Some good ones there!

    I think The Rocker in a Jocker is the best so far: it fits the rhyming convention, is suitably irreverent towards the subject and makes use of Dublin slang. (It's just a shame he actually looks so serene in bronze.)

    Of course if 'guitar' rhymed with 'smackhead' this thread would be quite short :v:

    'The crooner with the tuner'.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,470 ✭✭✭TheBigLebowski


    Maybe we need a poll?

    'The crooner with the tuner'.

    If only he was a crooner and possibly holding a tuner also...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 121 ✭✭LORDOFDOOM


    Teh phil with teh skill wins it for me I'm afraid.

    Tin lizzy made me laugh :)

    In fairness the Spire isn't exactly an erection...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,189 ✭✭✭✭Sangre


    The singer by the minger...
    (damn molly malone)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,470 ✭✭✭TheBigLebowski


    Right I've put a surprising amount of time and effort into this one and I think I might be on to a winner. It ain't an easy one but I reckon this might just be crazy enough to stick! Ready yourself.........."The Bender With The Fender"

    Ok so he wasn't a bender (although i'm sure he went on his fair share of benders) and I'm not even sure if he played a fender but what difference does that make?

    EDIT: Just checked and he played a Fender Precision Bass...

    bender? :eek:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,309 ✭✭✭✭Bard


    Wait til we have a statue of The Fonz though. We'll be laughin'.

    "Ah yeah, he was Irish, he was. One of de Rialto Fonzarelli's. Yeah, lovely chap. Loved his mammy. And his coddle and chips. Yeah. Heyyyyyyyyy!"

    Anyway...

    How about

    "The singer near the mingers"

    (He IS in the heart of Dublin after all...)

    *runs away*


    [edit]: Oh sh*t, never saw Sangre's post... sorry, heh :)

    Eh... The singer near Burger King(er)...

    *shuts up*

    Btw, i don't think its racism either, but I jumped on the rhyming oppurtunty.

    The Bender With The Fender would be good if he was a bender.

    The star with the guitar?
    The metal gutarist? (because the statue is metal??)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,792 ✭✭✭J.R.HARTLEY


    he's outside bruxelles isn't he?

    :v: < ffs thats only brutal, that one


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,252 ✭✭✭Funkstard


    The Afro off Grafto is the best so far IMO.

    I love all the Spire ones, they're hilarious;

    The stiletto in the ghetto
    The prick in the brick
    The stiffey by the lifey

    and now we can add;

    The erection at the intersection.
    The Nail in the Pale. Brilliant.
