Terabith Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 They have new flowers attached to it. But the interesting thing....a Putin look alike was mowing the lawn without a shirt on. It was 55 degrees. Not kidding about looking like Putin. My kids commented on it. 4 35 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JumpyTheFrog Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 Can we entertain ourselves with new conspiracy theories about the monolith? For example, maybe the monolith caused the pandemic?! When did we begin talking about it? I can't remember how long ago it was because Covid-time makes each day seem two or three times as long as normal. 6 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JumpyTheFrog Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Maybe the Putin look-alike was Putin's spy double from his KGB days! Or his stunt double from the Russian version of Spaceballs.

So, the people who I have seen outside are 1) the Putin look alike (my husband says he actually looks more like Putin's slightly pudgier slightly older brother, but it's still an uncanny resemblance, and 2) an assortment of college aged girls who all dress in identical dresses that are the big collar types that young children in the 80's wore.

Hen Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I too, was oddly excited to see this post!! 😆 I think with the Putin look-alike, that clearly the monolith must be a communication method of some sorts.

barnwife Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 There are only 2 disappointing things about this thread. Obviously, the first is that there is no facemask on it (and therefore, no photo of it with one). And the second is that there is no photo of the Putin look-alike with it. I really think all monolith updates should involved a photo...even if you have to photoshop one! 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terabith Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 I really need to make friends with people in our neighborhood, including maybe the folks with the monolith. It's sad I don't really know ANY of our neighbors and we've lived here like 12 years. The woman who just moved in behind us and whose back yard backs up to our back yard has an adorable puppy that I watch when washing dishes. I've pondered knocking on her door to ask if I could play with the puppy. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 There’s a house a little way down the road from me which has a big Easter Island stone head (what are those things called again? A Moiri?

I hope she's okay. 😊 I could handle this mystery just fine until I read about the college-aged girls in matching big collared dresses. Now I MUST KNOW what's going on! Do they wear them all the time?

There's a house by my church that has Easter Island heads, and I did use Google Maps to find the house, switched to Street View, and then screen shotted that (and put it in paint so I could color out the address) and got a shot I could share here of them. I bet you could do the same! (The ones by my church are blue, but they do not dress them up, I don't think....I haven't been to church since this started, so I'm not sure if there are masks on them or not, but that would be hilarious!) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
