My Personal Seven Wonders

By: Bobby Finstock on 07/9/07 @ 6:11 am

Apparently there was some voting for the new seven wonders of the world this past weekend. Isn’t there like already 200 different seven wonders of the world list anyways? Is this really significant news?

In the spirit of this poll I decided to publicly release my personal seven wonders of the world, limiting my list to places I have ever been, since I haven’t been to China or South America some of the popular choices have been omitted:

largest mcdonalds

The Largest McDonalds in the United States: It sits over a freeway somewhere in Oklahoma I believe. At one point it was the largest McDonalds in the world until the Russians built a huge one in Moscow, damn those former communist bastards.

That one pink house on the street: I used to live in a small town in Western, NY and most people owned these very nice colonial style homes. The neighborhoods were prim and proper with everyone having a well maintained lawn to go with their house and white picket fence. Of course there was one person that had to stand out and they painted their house a scorching color of pink, which is just really funny to me.

Any shopping plaza with a dollar store and a wal-mart: How can you jam that much trash in such a small area?

The State University of New York at Albany: I think I covered this before, the school was originally designed for Arizona. The archways and outdoor corridors were designed to create an cooling airflow that would combat the high temperatures of the south west. Pretty nifty idea and design concept if you ask me, well except when you apply it to a school in Upstate New York in the dead of winter. Instead of a cooling effect you have a wind tunnel that knocks people on their feet, hurls garbage at you like shrapnel, and makes it impossible to wear a hat.

The giant ball of yarn: What more can you ask for?

That huge ass three floor strip club in Vegas: Three floors of naughty girls waiting to flirt with me and take all of my money? It is like a giant pick pocket, it doesn’t get any better than that.

Combo fast food places: A Taco Bell and a KFC together? That is true engineering genius, where else can you get buttery biscuits and a chicken soft taco in the same place? This is a true testament to American ingenuity and our quest to eat as many calories in a day as an entire African village.

So there you have it, personally I think my list is a little more well rounded than what people voted on, but whatever…

What would you list as a random Seven Wonder of the World? (give me one or give me seven whatever you feel like)

    You know, there are advantages to living in a pink house. Once you get past the laughter, it’s really easy to give directions. “We’re easy to find – it’s the pink house on the right. You can’t miss it”\par

    Yeah, I lived in a pink house for a few years before it got re-sided to white. ;) \par
