Road Report - Chicken and Chair

From Roving Reporter #1 -

Chicken, Marietta Georgia, Magnificent! Still serves as a sign for KFC. Very humerous secondary photo on his Flickr page



Big Chair, Anniston Alabama, Great! but ran into some more officials questioning why he was driving around with four bottles of propane. Released once the official was assured by HQ that it's not illegal. I'm sure he'll update the story on his official Flickr page...



Big Guitar, Gone! It WAS build in Bunkie Louisianna, by a sign company, but no longer in town. Moved off to Mississippi, one of the locals reported. So, I need to do some World's Largest Things List updates... While there, another big chair sighting, but not a huge one...

Member Packets...

... in the mail! One more renewal, and another New Member! Thanks for your support, everyone...

And, yet another on-the-road report from Paul, calling after he passed a giant peanut in Ashburn Georgia. Yes, it's the largest, and plotted out a path that would take him to a gian chair, hog, the Marietta chicken and the World's Largest Working Cuckoo Clock (except that they're closed on Mondays).

Can't wait until he's back at his own home base to share all his finds!

Until then, we're still pluggin away here in beautiful Lucas Kansas, home to great ideas and the know-how to make them into reality.

Good feedback...

.. from new site launch. The home page is functioning nicely, and the secondary pages have been cleaned up a bit - still a bunch of work to do, and may just get a bit creative with the press pages, but not tonight. Spent the day creating and installing little rollover buttons for the navigation buttons on secondary pages, updated sites, and sent out this week's Weekly What's Large Where to members.

Caio! - rw

Road Report - Giant Flaming Orange

OK, so the Orange wasn't on fire, but the car was... Just got another update from the WLT Roving Reporter Numero Uno from Kissimmee Florida, home of Orange World. Impressive orange, they bought oranges, and had a nice talk with the salespeople.



And, as is wont to happen when the reporter drives an Art Car with active flames, some county police showed up to check things out, too... Paul says he'll post more on his Flickr page once he returns to Texas, but for now just know all is OK, and Oranges are Good for Continued Health!

Non-Mobile Museum visitors

Even though the Old Mobile Museum has had it's last appearance away from the home base, it's still open to visitors to the Grassroots Art Capital of Kansas, Lucas, world headquarters of World's Largest Things, Incorporated. There were 5 backyard visitors this morning, who got the full tour of the Mobile Museum, other two art cars, and sneak peak at the inner workings of WLT Inc....

And, upon checking messages, we missed a call from Roving Reporter:Florida division Paul McRae, who evidently has run into some trouble at Orange World in Kissimmee Florida - will check in on progress soon.

-Erika, WLT Inc.

ah HA!!!

Whoop! figured out some of the coding, new home page progressing nicely - it'll be in the original spirit of the bus, with a nod to circus poster design and interactivity - i.e., kitsch and info, all in one!

Back to Biz...

Yay - projects moving into the 'Done' pile!

First order of the day was to comlete the banking procedures started earlier and delayed due to technical glitches - officially off and running with a good deposit from member dues and donations to the Greenbacks for Gerstenslager fund.

Second order, re-schedule of a Humanities Council lecture in October at Butler Community College - now October 30th, 10:45 a.m.

And, received another call from the roving reporter and Big Things appreciator, Paul - he was skipping the Weeki Wachi Springs (too touristy now...) but was talked into and verbally guided to a gas station shaped like a dinosaur in Spring Hill Florida - I got to hear a play-by-play of his arrival, with follow-up status report afterwards and directions to the next Big Thing.



Next order of business, Lucas Area Chamber of Commerce meeting...

WL Roll of Duct Tape



Weighing in at 650 pounds and measuring 10,384 yards (or 5.9 miles!) long, the NEW & IMPROVED World's Largest Roll of Duct Tape was created in Hickory, North Carolina, for Henkel Consumer Adhesives in 2005. It is 3.78 inches wide and is 64 inches in diameter

Road Report - Boll Weevil and Dotham Hog


... from Paul McRae. He was disappointed in the World's Largest Boll Weevil in Enterprise, Alabama, as it wasn't quite as large as he expected. He suggested creating a caveat icon in the list of What's Large Where, indicating a site that may not be as gargantuan as you may be led to believe from the title of World's Largest...

But, he was pleased to call back at the World's Largest Hog in Dotham Alabama.

Gave over-the-phone tips for other possibilities in the state and further along the route - he'll be reporting in!

Hays KS TV spots

20 seconds to sum up World's Largest Things, Inc., for upcoming Lucas spots on regional television - Luckily, I talk fast, so I believe it went something like this:

This is the World's Largest Collection of the World's Smallest Versions of the World's Largest Things Traveling Roadside Attraction and Museum, here at the home base of World's Largest Things in Lucas Kansas. I travel the country seeking out Roadside Vernacular Architecture known as World's Largest Things, make a small replica of it, and add it to the collection... I then take the traveling roadside collection to other communities on the road...

...or it was something close to that. Four takes, each one different, trying to hit the 20 second mark. We'll see when it start airing in the Fall!

And, since it's early in the morning, it's only 80 degrees out right now, so there was only a slight sweat sheen by the time we wrapped up at 10 a.m...

-Erika


Addendum: Rachel informs me that it's 85 degrees, and 10:15 a.m....

Web Development

...reading html by example (ok as tool, will help in designing new site) and some publishing tips from Adobe Creative Suite tools, scouring the net for an adaptable template that will update World's Largest Things dot com and still say what we need it to say, graphically speaking. not having much luck - time to design on my own!

-RW, web weaver

Oh, and re-addressed MySpace, Flickr, and this site, too, while interconnecting the whole big intricate web world presence.

Webbing

... in the expanding Web World, did some social networking for WLT. Lots of comments on MySpace to Art Car friends, roadside enthusiasts, and crazy art connections. It's nice to know that the people on the Friends lists are actually KNOWNS... Neat!

Rural Renewal

Heard from two board members today - one with links to more online resources and grantwriting workshops, the other with a Super Secret Business Plan development method - sorry, it's proprietary... So, we're in the middle of lotsa infrastructure and long-term planning!

Still waiting on banking snag to un-snag so we can complete the accounting setup, but you just can't rush the printer repairman...

Have two calls in to Arts agencies regarding grant opportunities for Non-Profit organizations - the bit of information that continually goes around is ASK! Ask about the previous successful applications - Ask about budget - Ask about recommendations in creating a successful program - Ask for help! It saves both of you time in the long run by cutting down on wasted energy in preparing a poor proposal.

And, got to promote Lucas as a "Great Town to Live In" to an awed tourist, even going as far as calling the local realtor to show her affordable housing in the Grassroots Art Capital of Kansas... There's a certain special look that comes over one's face when the realization hits - "I can buy a house here outright, have no mortgage or rent, be connected to the world, and pursue that entrepreneurial dream in the Capital of Quirky!"

On a related note, anyone want to buy a church? Nice vaulted ceiling, utilities, two blocks off of downtown, includes nice lawn area, affordable! Great space for practicing artists, sculptors, singers, collectors of large things, or shop/business/artist residency space...

Back to business

There's always more than a couple item of business to attend to when you're out of the home office for 6 days...

First, half-way through setting up local banking for WLT, Inc - even the professionals have computer glitches, though, so after an hour and a half of poking things that weren't going to work, we'll try again tomorrow...

Returning calls about appearances, but the old Mobile Museum is no longer road worthy - sorry to disappoint potential venues, but keep an eye out for the NEW IMPROVED World's Largest Things Museum in 2009!

Speaking of which, another member renewal from Washington state will help us make the goal...

AND heard from two advisory board members today...

Josh, maker of Big Things in Minnesota, is working with the Olivia Chamber of Commerce making some character Ears of Corn for photo opps, which will stand beside the existing Ear of Corn. The Chamber wanted to know if there's really IS the World's Largest, so looked up the current iconic records:

Rochester Minnesota, watertower painted like ear of corn, 60' tall (corn), standing 151' tall atop its structure.

Olivia MN, need to get some accurate measurements - reports vary from 12' tall (Minnesota Marvels book) to 35' tall (Local Housing Policy: The Small-Town Myth and
Economic Development USDA article), but it's a 'true' W.L. Thing in that it's a sculptural element rather than an applied design

Shelby IA, 76' corn stalk incorporating Ag elements, in a sort of wire-frame.

Coon Rapids IA, 10' rotating Ear of Corn, with plans for a 50' version (not likely - old plans...)

He also passed along some good ideas for dimensional design apps for the New Mobile Museum... Wheels are a'turnin'!

AND, heard from Brian Butko, author of the newest book focusing on Roadside Attractions, called "Roadside Attractions" (Huh! Whodaguessedit!), just out from Stackpole Books.



Got my copy in the mail last week, and there's a full color half page about the bus on Pg. 22, Lucas Kansas section pgs. 55-56. Thanks, Brian!

Now, time to address some of the other fires, and create a Member Packet for the latest renewal...

Cop writes a ticket for giant sausage

From a WLT Member:

Wienermobile ticketed

Tribune photo by Kevin Pang, August 9, 2007

A Chicago police officer tickets the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile in the 400 block of North Michigan Avenue.


A massive hot dog clogged Chicago's main artery Thursday morning.

In a rare occurrence of an encased-meat vehicle committing a traffic violation, Chicago police ticketed the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile for illegal parking on the Magnificent Mile.

The incident began at 10:57 a.m. in the 400 block of North Michigan Avenue. At least two members of the Wienermobile entourage left the vehicle in the six-lane street with its emergency blinkers on. The vehicle is registered to Kraft Foods under the Wisconsin license plate "WEENR."

A police officer approached the Chevrolet with the 27-foot fiberglass sausage and removable bun roof. The officer radioed for a tow truck.

Matt Smith of the city's Streets and Sanitation Department said the city would have been ready to handle the job.

"We have access to tow trucks that could have handled a Polish sausage, not just a hot dog," Smith said.

The officer wrote the ticket and affixed it to the wiener's footlong side mirror. Ed Walsh, a spokesman for the city Department of Revenue, said parking in a "Parking/Standing Prohibited Anytime" zone is a $50 violation.

About 15 minutes later, as curious passersby snapped pictures with their camera phones, the driver and passenger of the vehicle returned before tow trucks could arrive. "The situation was resolved without the use of ketchup, which in Chicago is a big thing," Smith said.

The entourage got a grilling from the officer.

"You can't just park here," the officer said.

One of the passengers, who declined to be identified, said they were visiting a Wienermobile alumnus who worked nearby, but were unaware that one could not park a giant sausage in the middle of the city's busiest thoroughfare.

Sydney Lindner, a spokeswoman for Kraft Foods, said the Wienermobile is on a nationwide tour promoting a contest to sing the Oscar Mayer jingle in an upcoming commercial.

She said "regardless of the reason" the driver had for parking there, the company neither condones nor relishes such actions.

"It's against company policy to park in undesignated area even if you're driving a company vehicle that's shaped like a giant hot dog," Lindner said. "We appreciate the police doing their job and we regret any inconvenience this may have caused."

The hot dog was last seen driving north on Michigan Avenue.

Tribune staff reporter Jason Meisner contributed.

Motivation, anyone?

World's Largest Things happen through partnerships and a lot of community involvement - the most recent Big Thing produced in Lucas is the World's Largest Souvenir Travel Plate, created with the help of the City of Lucas crew, landowner J. Jean Mettlen, a National Endowment for the Arts "Challenge America" grant through the Lucas Arts and Humanities Council, and World's Largest Things, Incorporated.

It was produced between September and November of 2006, with progress posted on Flickr daily. Today, we got a call from one of the LAHC board members with the official license tag for the big plate, as it borders a state road, meaning that we applied for a permit before building. The tag needed to be attached to the plate, with a fine for a lost tag. Simple enough, but the letter was dated February! Evidently, the tag had been waiting for an official decision on how, exactly, to attach it to the plate. So, after 6 months, I took my stepladder, a tube of industrial adhesive, and glued it on to an amazingly appropriately proportioned support strut. Total labor time: 7 minutes.

World's Largest Carpet Woven for Worshippers

from National Geographic News:



August 1, 2007—By any measure, it's a marvel—as a work of art, as an article of devotion, as a testament to the richness of hand-made craftwork. But who's going to take it outside and beat it?

Authorities in Iran unveiled what they described as the world's largest hand-woven rug yesterday at Tehran's open-air prayer grounds.

At 60,546 square feet (5,625 square meters), the carpet is the size of a soccer field and was woven by 1,200 weavers in three villages over the course of a year and a half.

The mammoth floor covering is destined for a monumental new mosque under construction in the United Arab Emirates. Emirati officials commissioned Iran's state-owned rug manufacturer to create the piece for the central prayer hall of the giant Sheikh Zayed mosque, slated to open this fall in the capital city of Abu Zaby (Abu Dhabi).

Weavers in Iran's northwestern Khorasan Province used 38 tons of wool and cotton from Iran and New Zealand to fashion the colorful covering, tying a staggering 2.2 billion knots in the process.

Half of the commission, estimated at 5.8 million U.S. dollars, will go to the villagers. But authorities hope that in addition to the income, the huge rug will bring renewed publicity to Iran's flagging carpet-weaving industry.

Long known for its delicate and ornate Persian rugs, Iran has recently been losing market share to cheaper Asian manufacturers, according to industry reports.

Ill. town creates record ketchup packet



COLLINSVILLE, Ill. (AP) — First came the world's largest ketchup bottle.
Now citizens of this southern Illinois community are after the record for the world's largest ketchup packet.

Collinsville has partnered with the H.J. Heinz Co. to fill an 8-foot tall, 4-foot wide plastic pouch with 1,500 pounds of the tomato goop for a school fundraiser.

"That's a lot of ketchup," said Tracey Parsons, a Heinz spokeswoman.

The company donated 4,000 glass bottles of the condiment that people can buy for $1 and pour into the packet.

Hundreds in the city, which is the home of a 170-foot-tall water tower shaped like a giant ketchup bottle, showed up Saturday to participate in the ketchup filling and other fundraising activities.

Organizers expected the packet to be filled to capacity with 130 gallons by Saturday evening.

The feat is being submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records. If accepted, it will be the world's largest ketchup packet, Parsons said.

The proceeds will go to the Collinsville Christian Academy, which is celebrating its 25th anniversary. Part of the school was destroyed by a fire earlier this week.

After it's filled with ketchup, the giant packet will be sealed and kept in Collinsville for a few days before being transported to the Pittsburgh-based company's headquarters.

Parsons said the ketchup won't ever be eaten.

New World's Largest Hamburger, "The 8th Wonder", Clinton Station Diner, NJ

New World's Largest Hamburger, "The 8th Wonder", Clinton Station Diner, NJ
Sunday, October 29 2006 @ 06:40 PM PST
Contributed by: Billy

And the burger wars continue! Clinton Station Diner has now made claim to the World's Largest commercially available hamburger, "The 8th Wonder". This 28" wide, 11.5" thick, 105 pound monstrosity was created today at the Clinton Station Diner in Clinton, NJ. With previous massive burgers like the 7lb Zeus burger, and the 50lb Mt Olympus under their belts, it was no surprise that Clinton Station was secretly devising a way to beat the latest winner in the Big Burger Wars, the 78.5lb entry from Bob's BBQ and Grill in Pattaya, Thailand. Looks like they've brought the title back to the USA!

From: http://competitiveeaters.com/2006news.htm

10/29/06 - OMG! 105 Pounds! ARE YOU KIDDING ME??
History was made at the Clinton Station Diner yesterday by setting the new World Record for the Biggest Menu Hamburger in the world appropriately dubbed "The 8th Wonder" (interestingly enough this is also the 8th type of burger offered at Clinton Station Diner). Mere words cannot express the totality and enormity of this massive meat monster. The dimensions on this bad boy measured out to be 28 inches in diameter and 11 1/2 in height and a whopping 105 pounds in total weight.

[CONTINUED]

It has been reported that several competitive eaters broke down in tears of joy as they witnessed the unveiling of this World Record Burger. Owner Mike Zambus s will be submitting necessary documentation to Guinness Book of World Records to certify "The 8th Wonder" as the new World Heavy Weight Burger. Unlike many previous World Record Burgers that were constructed, "The 8th Wonder" is a delicious creation and also maintains the fine tradition of the previous Zambus burgers. Customers had the delicious opportunity to sample this massive burger at the end of the presentation and all were in agreement of the high quality and great taste of The 8th Wonder. Some were lucky enough to take home a slice of this historic event (slices weighed in at 7 pounds-yummy snack!). We were happy that the new Heavy Weight Burger title is back in America and that AICE was privileged to be part of this!
