SixSider @ Boy Scout Memorial


Papa Six first enlightened me about this memorial earlier this year. Luckily we made time to visit it this time. (Actually this photo was taken on the third visit. The first time the photo didn't come out. The second, we tried to jump out just to take this picture but were foiled by a series of small fences. This third attempt was a success.) Again, I am just impressed by the almost naked man standing behind the boy. From what I can tell, his nakedness symbolizes the Boy Scout ideal of being physically fit. Or "comfortable" with our own bodies. Or with the bodies of male adults. I don't know. You can't see it here, but he does have an amazingly tight and well-formed butt.

The statue does have an inscription that ends with the words "morally straight." *snicker*
