Old man guerrilla art

Apparently a random 18 foot fork showed up in Pasadena this week

"It turns out the fork is an elaborate - and expensive - birthday prank in honor of the 75th birthday of Bob Stane, founder of the Ice House comedy club, who now owns the Coffee Gallery Backstage in Altadena.

"Stane confirmed that his friends, in full Caltrans uniform complete with helmets and lights, dug the hole "in dead of night."

i love everything about this. especially the part where a group of men in their 70s install a giant fork while sporting fake uniforms

Hahah! I also love this story. I hope I'm doing that when/if I get to my 70's.

Do you have guerrilla gardeners in America? We had a whole TV show where people would dress up like council workers and make ugly unused public spaces a bit nicer, then real council workers would dig it up the next day. They ripped the idea off someone in Europe. This is so awesome that they're in their 70s but, our guerilla gardeners were shabby 20-somethings.
