The strength of loyalty
and the endurance of
snow capped mountains
kept them moving forward.
Nothing could hold them back
as they struggled
to achieve the impossible.
Pushing with a heart
forged of molten metal
the immovable object
become as pliable as taffy.
Slowly they emerged.
Fans no brick wall would ever be holding back.
You can find this sculture at Oregon State University's Reser Stadium.
A Tribute to the fans of Beaver Nation

Excellent 55 MM...
I know that you are a Loyal Beaver Fan.
But you gotta admit..That brick wall sorta reminds you of the Movie..The Philadelphia Experiment!
Thanks for playing though..You Rock Brotha!!
Have a Kick Ass Week-End...G
nice play of the sculpture...nothing can hold back a true fan, even being stuck on a wall. fun 55.
mine is up!
Go Beavers!! Nice 55!
all that from a scuplture? very very good!
What a sculpture, and the 55 fits it just perfectly.
LOVE this!!! Your 55 and the art. But I won't comment on the 'beaver' part.
Mine this week is another 'non-fiction' fictionalized version. Butt to naked butts
[if you care to read, scroll down below my Friday's Show n Tell piece]
Have a great weekend.
What an awesome, awesome sculpture! And perfect 55. GO MICHIGAN STATE!!
I too love your 55 brought into expression by the sculpture.
My last week's and this week's 55 were inspired by pictures I was attracted to.

Great description of the sculpture.
No loyalty like fan loyalty! :)
Monkeys and beavers in the same area, Who Knew??
Go Duke Blue Devils.
My 55: A Familiar Face
Awesome post, Monkey Man!
Hope you have a great weekend!
i wanna know, do the cheerleaders wear wide, flat tails? hehehe
nicely done.
That is an amazing sculpture and excellent 55 words to accompany it.
Wonderful sculpture! I really like your 55, which powerfully captures the spirit of loyal fans. I don't know anything about the Beavers, but we Boston Red Sox fans know all about hanging in there through the tough times.
Good 55 so applicable to so many.. love it.
Clever 55! Wonderful sculpture! True fans are the best kind of fans of all!
that really is a cool sculpture, and i enjoyed your take on it. very well done indeed!
warm smiles,
I really like art like that,
any form of unique art.
God a few from my late Dad,
since no one in my
family treasures such stuffs.
EXCELLENT 55!
Happy 55!
Happy Friday Follow!
Happy Round Robin!
Happy Friday Family!
Have you a ROCKING and SEXY WEEKEND!

MM, that is well written, and the sculpture is fascinating and maybe even eerie ...

Sunday-160 is up as well!
Welcome in,
Cheers!
Happy Sunday!
I've seen images like that before, and I always found it eery or something. Regardless, you always have the knack for describing it just right in 55.
What a lovely and powerful 55, MM! And the wall sculpture is really cool.
