The 50-foot, white marble obelisk, designed by the well-known architect, William Strickland, was completed in 1830. The original cornerstone was laid here on March 21, 1825, by Greene's old friend, the Marquis de LaFayette. At the dedicatory ceremony General LaFayette said:

quote:

"The great and good man to whose memory we are paying a tribute of respect, affection, and regret, has acted in our revolutionary contest a part so glorious and so important that in the very name of Greene are remembered all the virtues and talents which can illustrate the patriot, the statesman, and the military leader..."



The fact that the Marquis de LaFayette laid the cornerstone is actual a legit cool story.

As long as it removes or washes off easy, it just good fun.

If only all vandalism was as humorous and good-natured as this.

No damage was done, and I have put googly eyes on random stuff around town as well. This I can get behind.

This is a good one.

Unfortunately, the "good nature" reception by the folks that would be upset if it were actually damaged, wont be recognized.

A lot of the articles and comments are also pretty good natured fun. I saw one lamenting that everyone cares about the eyes and no one cares about the man encased in carbonite.



Some things are objectively funny.
