Back in May, Rich Connelly had this to say about a BayouSphere photo of one of those great big concrete ball-thingies in the Galleria area:

โ€œThings you never want to hear a supervisor say: โ€˜Hey, you — go grab a broom and clean those balls.โ€™ It obviously takes a big broom to clean these big balls, which are at the newly renovated 610 overpass at Memorial.โ€

Hey, at least they donโ€™t resemble dicks, like the ones in Keizer, Oregon. A friend who forwarded us the article on the phalluses has this to say: โ€œI love that they are adding โ€˜rings and chainsโ€™ to make them less offensive.โ€ โ€“ Cathy Matusow
