The Great Boulder Penis Flap!

[Chef Troy]

Why has no one suggested prayer WRT the missing Purple Passion Penis? I suggest the 23rd Psalm... considering it contains the immortal phrase, ...thy rod and thy staff, they comfort me... it seems appropriate.

It's important to remember, however, that force will not be effective in returning the PPP to its rightful place in the nightmares of Boulder's literate children. As the saying almost goes, the penis mightier than the sword.

People who have lived in Boulder for a while eventually pick up this saying: "Only in Boulder." For instance:

- Only in Boulder... Do we have enough little plows to plow the bike paths in winter but not enough for the regular roads.

Sorry to burst your bubble, but this one is not true, because Calgary has the same problem. In a vast, sprawling city of ~850 000 people (and I do mean vast; Calgary is known for being a very spread out city), we have 3 snow plows (IIRC). We had a really snowy winter a couple of years ago, and people in the suburbs literally could not get into or out of their neighbourhoods for weeks at a time. But somehow, the bike paths are always clear.

Another piece of "art" has been swiped (or, mutter the conspiracy theorists...hidden by the library)!!!!

A female torso roughly molded out of red clay (and apparently anatomically correct), is missing!

The statue, which I've dubbed Torso Van Moreso* has vanished. It, along with Purple Passion Penis, are the two exhibits missing from the porn-shop atmosphere of the Boulder County Library. (Some of the other "exhibits" designed to "raise awareness" of domestic violence, in addition to the severed penises and Torso Van Moreso include prettily decorated chain-mail and velvet chastity belts, and an "erotic" nude painting of a woman (the person who described it used the word "erotic" in a positive sense).

The Penis Artiste has claimed that she has had her First Ammendment Rights violated by El Penis Bandito, apparently not realizing that only a governmental agency can violate the First Ammendment. Apparently she's as wise as she is talented.

Four theories abound regarding the missing Torso Van Moreso
[li]That a copycat criminal kidnapped her
[li]That a pervert kidnapped her for carnal purposes!
[li]That the library staff swiped and hid her, to make El Penis Bandito look bad (the conspiracy theory)
[li]That she's been having a torrid affair of PASSION with the Purple Penis and they've run off together.[/list]
More reports from the front of this steamy controversy as new events occur!

Did the cops have to send a "special insertion" team to retrieve the stolen display?

The phallic artwork has since been stolen, then recovered by police and will not be re-hung in the library.
