Well, there is nothing that I'd find more fun than to obtain a big blow-up
Gort to set up at the entrance station of SSP this year.
But I think it would be difficult to find one.
Maybe a big barracuda with a skinny tie. At least those of us reading this
thread would get a chuckle out of it. But the locals might begin to
realize... er... think we're weird.
Or, forgoing the fish thing, maybe we could just have set Jeff
Gort(atowski) up there, to do penance for having the nerve to have a single
crabby day! ;-)
Or, maybe just set up a big crab?
