What's that head made from? That's a piece of work there.
They burn that too?

All I kept thinking was: marriage.
Alot of frickin work to make it look just right. Then it goes up in flames anyway.

way back when I was a wee lad (mid 70's?) we'd hit the Lutcher/Gramercy/Garyville levees for Christmas Eve. Hardly anyone would be there, you could walk right up to the thing. It was like hanging with friends. no crowds, just good folk.
Then everyone else discovered it and it was ruined forever. Cars and people everywhere, couldn't get near the fires, just ruined...
It exists now...only in my memory

The neck would extend outward and the jaws opened and closed. Nice bit of animatronics right there!

That is awesome but it sure looks like it’s much taller than 7ft?
