4. It doesn't look like Liz Taylor or a piebald horse . . .
A giant tower of wieners? A cone of earthworms?

It looks quite large. And red. And shiny.

9. was National Velvet the horse it rode in?
Oh, I get it. That's the clean up pile from the giant plastic hobby horse at the Main Library, the one riding on the rocking chair.

Nah--I just see thousands of dollars worth of modeling clay used up to make the mold. It takes bucks and balls to be a contemporary artist nowadays. I don't have either.
