Umm, it is slightly blocking the door... But it does look good there.

Thats so cool.

I would guess Manny, Moe, and Jack have opinions.

That should go outside somewhere high up.

I was going to say that it looks like your bar needs a pole . . . there may be some side benefits to having a pole in there, too. Just sayin'

Just hang it next to the 959 or the 962, and make it a really first world.

We all are jealous of your toy collection.

use a gear reduction motor and make it spin hanging from the ceiling........

How much grief would you get if it were outside?

Have someone make a metal stick figure, with that as the head, maybe Burma Shave signs for limbs

There was a dentist in Auburn that made giant sculptures out of cement and put them in front of his office. He did the gold panning statue that is sort of their trademark also

Got a really bit tree? Giant Christmas ornament?

Giant cocktail, the 76 ball is the end of the swizzle.

In the rafters, but create an elaborate false ceiling that makes it look like it crashed through the roof.

Dig a hexagonal hole in the floor, line it with mirrors, put strip lighting on the top edge of the hole, mount the ball in there, cover the hole with thick plexi that's flush to the floor. The mirrors would cause the illusion of an infinite number of balls.

Get a giant King Kong statue and have him holding it on a 'string' like a yo yo

Slice it in half, and fab up some hinges and hydraulics that cause it to open slowly and reveal something really cool inside, like a BMW Isetta that's spinning slowly on a rotisserie - off the horizontal, of course, so you could get a look at all sides of the car as it rotates.

Cut a round hole in the wall and have it half in and half out of two different rooms. Maybe figure out a way to make it into a revolving door.

Put some disco lights on it and ...nah...never mind.

L8Brakr 09-08-2023 11:40 AM

Go all in and glue a few thousand 1/2-inch square mirrors to it......

sc_rufctr 09-08-2023 11:47 AM

Cut it in half so that the 76 is front and center and stick it to a wall.

If you stop and think about it you can never actually see the back half of a sphere.

Union 76 used to sell styrofoam antenna balls that were so cool back in the day. What a clever marketing gimmick it was.

We got Gulf orange ones in Ohio for buying gas in the way back.

Exxon had the tiger tail sticking out of the gas tank and someone put one under the gas door of the president of Sohio Production Company's car which was parked by the employee entrance to the parking garage. Briar Forest and Sage.

Sorry for OT ramble.

Manny, Moe and Jack aren't going to like their view blocked.

Wayne 962 09-09-2023 10:30 PM
