Fonzie Gets A Statue

Well its about time! For the better part of ten years hecklerspray has been making a Fonzie likeness out of macaroni noodles, glue and broken spatulas, and it looks like our gallant effort has not gone unnoticed.

Our mother took the city of Milwaukee into our basement to show it our masterpiece, and they liked it so much they want to make it theirs. Seriously, they want to put it in the middle of downtown and have the rest of the city flow unto it. We told them at the time of sale that housing a macaroni statue outdoors may not be a good idea, at which point they asked us to also sculpt a macaroni umbrella - problem solved.

We feel it our duty to inform you, our faithful readers, that all that macaroni statue crap we just told you was false. It almost happened, but Henry Winkler never sent us the locks of hair or baby teeth we asked him for in letters at least 20 times. That's probably why Milwaukee's moving on without us. It looks like they're gonna get a real statue of the Fonz for their fine city, because they love him so.

And it might attract tourists.

The city of Milwaukee wanted a statue for their downtown, and they wanted it to have a real Milwaukee feel. Since the alleged bronze Jeffrey Dahmer statue kept getting mysteriously punctured with broken broom handles when it was only 70% complete, they decided to start over but to just do a Fonzie statue instead. Thus far it is unclear if the statue will be of blind Fonzie, shark jumping Fonzie or the one that duelled Mork from Ork with finger snaps. Those are the three options we see fit. Take your pick Milwaukee.

Milwaukee was the setting of Happy Days, the show that finally put Glad trash bags on the map. A tourist hungry organisation within the city is trying to raise $85,000 to get the statue ball rolling. Henry Winkler said of his statue news:

"It's an honor. But it is so bizarre to think there should be a statue. I wasn't sure it was something that could happen to me.''

The plan is to unveil the statue sometime in 2008, and the world readily awaits. Fonzie's statue will join other celebrity stone imagery like 'Britney Spears on all fours squeezing out a baby, 'the twin Bruce Lees,' 'Hilary Clinton's naked boobs and head,' and 'hungry Bruce Vilanch.'

Like we said in the beginning - its about time!
