Ever wonder what it’s like to climb to the top of the giant crane on the Downtown Mall? Apparantly one of our birdies knows exactly what it’s like.
We have no idea who climbed to the top of this thing and don’t suggest you do it, but we do have a bunch of pictures you probably are curious to view.

Truth or dare?
It was only a matter of time before this happened. So glad they had a camera.

I was pretty sure you did do it, Parlie. Now I’m confused.
…and takeout from The Box. Nice!
Anyone else unable to view the slideshow? My comp that bad?
Lulu, what browser are you using?
nm, scratch that. Appears it was only some temporary error.
Site is being funny right now.. any issues for anyone?
Yes, I have an issue with cars not slowing down for me when I cross the street to get tartare.
@Thor: Yeah, it’s pretty wonky here. Sometimes the pages load, sometimes they don’t, and it’s crawling in general.
nm… I’m just having all kinds of Internets issues this morn. Can’t seem to browse smoothly.
/calling Isaac Hayes.
this is awesome! thanks
thank god someone who was skilled in the art of climbing did this instead of Tuesday who tried to scale the damn thing wasted a couple of weeks ago
@15: Yeah it’s a good thing there weren’t any other wasted people encouraging her to do it.
is it illegal to climb the crane?
I’m sure it’s at least trespassing.
it’s got to be at least trespassing. drunk in public maybe? unauthorized use of terrible camera?
@19 the dude totally should have had an iPhone
@20 before Stanley gets all femi-nazi on me let me correct myself by saying “dude or dudette”
@20: yeah! and he could have surfed the internet too, and downloaded mp3s to use as ringtones. he could have liveblogged the crane! with an iphone, you can internetify things that, in the old days, were been considered completely uninternetifiable. facebook your paypal.
you guys should think about kicking me out of here.
is it illegal to facebook your paypal?
Technically facebooking your paypal is illegal in all 50 states however, only Texas and Utah enforce the law.
/Finds Parlies internet memes both amusing and terrifying
or, while sitting at a bar, you could twitter your micro-blog while simultaneously splicing your vlog to friends at the bar across the street.
Stop talking about masturbation already. Ew.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure that I’ve had people arrested for twittering their micro-blog while sitting at my bar.
This dude was splicing his vlog in the bushes at Lee PArk the other day so I called the cops.
my iphone made me breakfast in bed. then we went to the park, and made sweet love on a mossy bed at the base of an old oak tree.
@24 Amusing + Terrifying = Amusifying
