Facial of The Gods

Is there a Greek myth where Zeus chows down on an orchard of unripe olives, assumes the form of a bull and then craps all over a young maiden? It does sound sort of familiar, or am I thinking of Tales of The City? Purely awesome mould/slime over a fountain in Chelmsford Street Highgate. Love the chunks. This might have made a better poster for Curtin University Poker Club. Is there a touch of the Carps in that face?
More art boozies for TWOP. This is one of my favourites.
He slimed me!

    Right about the bull, LA, but the God in question was Poseidon. The woman is Pasiphae, unfaithful wife of King Minos and mother of the Minotaur. Given Poseidon’s status as God of the Sea, it’s not surprising to see he shits algae.

    This is actually a scene from Rogerius and Hammopolous’s musical account of the story, “South Adriatic”, in which Pasiphae sings the clasic (I’m Gonna) Wash That God Right Outa My Hair, then dies of hypoxia.

  4. Poseidon as a bull? Should that be walrus? In any case when he sprays a bowl, it stays sprayed.

    If this is Highgate, I believe John Hyde would be responsible.

    Listen Barnett, the opposition couldn’t organise a statue to be crapped on in 6 years of trying.

    Obviously I meant that John Hyde would take full resposibility for the removal of any walrus manure on public land. Looking at the post again however I realise that I made a mistake and the fountain is on private property. So what? I’m a busy man.

    Even so, I have every confidence that John, like Diana Warnock before him would endeavour to render any assistance even to a private citizen to have excreta removed from artwork, if they had a difficulties.

    Any suggestion that John, who i have every confidence in, actually shat on the fountain himself, are totally disgraceful, and you should be completely ashamed of yourself.

    This is unbelievably good/bad. No wonder property prices are plummeting in the tony areas.

    I’m not sure, but wasn’t this a Dr Who monster many years ago? Or wait – is it Leila after moving on from the Tardis??

    Speaking of John Hyde and unsightly green-ness, Hyde actually ran as a Greens candidate against Jim McGinty in his youngers days in the District of Fremantle. It’s a shame that what could have been a nice water feature is now in such a horrible, brain-breaking state.

    I guess all it would take to fix is a cup full of bleach, maybe that is a little too difficult.
