The online chronicles of a painter living in Austin, Texas

20 INCH BLACK DILDO FOUND AT SIXTH & CONGRESS

BLACK MEN UNIMPRESSED

MARTIN LUTHER KING DAY. Austin Texas, 2003- It was an otherwise gorgeous day in central Texas.

Whilst out running errands buying painting supplies on Martin Luther King Day, innocent pedestrian Michael Schliefke came across a find that left him unnerved and feeling dirty. Out of the corner of his eye, in the busy intersection of 6th Street and Congress, Mr. Schliefke glimpsed a large black object that seemed out of place, out of time, and completely out of context.

Sitting at the feet of three black men loafing on a park bench and soaking up the warm mid-Winter sun, closer inspection revealed the object to be a large, 20 inch long, 4-5 inch in diameter black dildo.

The three men sitting on the park bench failed to notice their proximity to the worn out, dirty device that lay discarded on the ground next to them.

More than amused and befuddled, Mr. Schliefke ran to the local Eckerds to purchase a disposable camera. Still unimpressed with schoolboy giggling and camera flashes, the three men sat motionless on the park bench, oblivious, uncaring if you will.

Additional surveillance over lunch across the road at Schlotsky's finally produced the first pedestrians who noticed the giant dildo. A team of construction workers pointed and laughed, and one anonymous black man actually touched it as he sat down on the park bench.

The current whereabouts of the dildo are unknown.
