I heard an interview with the costumer who designed Elvis Presley's rhinestone-studded jumpsuits. They kept on not paying him, but he was having so much fun that he didn't really want to stop, so instead of quitting he just kept making each jumpsuit more elaborate and more expensive. "Yes, this new suit requires $15,000 worth of genuine Alsatian rhinestones." Not exactly win-win, but I'm glad he was having fun and spending a ton of Elvis' money.
Yehyehyeh this guy's relatives are on every other big old church/town hall/whathaveyou here and weirdly they all have that same origin story.
Lot of underpaid stonemasons what can you do?
Besides pay them, of course. They might get ideas
Oooh, so that's how ICE agents are born. Dripped from a German gargoyle's ass. It all makes sense now.
Lovely icicle he produces.
Ice burritos just hit differently
The amount of work to create it and put it up there needs a lot of dedication. That is one hell of a grudge.
The man's been trolling for a good 800 years now.
Crude but definitely not grotesque.
