"Then we thought about the world's biggest porch swing,"

I'd love to see the porch

/that's the second biggest porch swing I've ever seen.

Perfect for a retirement home for gargantuans.

I hope it at least sells for a few times what they put into it.

Probably should have built 30 regular porch swings and sold them.

36 feet long, 19 feet tall, 2 cases of industrial glue... good luck moving the darn thing to whoever buys it.

"One of the most important people is my chiropractor Jim Thompson. I've been to see him three times a week since I started this,"

Three times a week? He must be a really good chiropractor.

over 300 parts, close to 5,000 screws, two cases of industrial glue it's dark and we're wearing sunglasses.

Hit it.

and yet he's still all alone....

SO Yeah, hit it,

I can't wait till the insurance companies crush his dream.

Don't hook it up until the structural engineers, safety engineers, osha, and about a thousand other government and insurance agencies sign off on it.

don't mean a thing

That looks really cool. I'd like one of those.

An object having its own Facebook page is hardly the equivalent of running a marathon these days. The rest of it seems genuinely cool, though.

Why is this "giant" structure able to be climbed by one ladder? Is that a giant ladder? Is this a giant man?

Oh, wait. This is probably "epic", isn't it? Blast my epic giant.

I think this is great. I'm a big swinger myself and...

Wassat you say?

Oh, nevermind.

Ablejack: don't mean a thing

hehe

I got about as far as "swing" and "5000 screws"...

Reminds me of my ex; if it swung, she had to investigate, ended up getting screwed more than the 99%

Wanted for comment

Swinging is Satanic, it leads to evil just like reading Harry Potter.

Does it come with a couple of toilet bowl planters?

Kinetic Energy = 1/2 Mass x Velocity Squared & a body in motion tends to remain in motion unless acted upon be another force.
I'm thinking this could cause some serious body injury or death should someone fall in it's path while it is in motion due to its large mass. With children and older folk using it that may happen. I don't think a human body is going to provide much resistance should they be the opposing force.

... 5,000 screws...

I believe this quantity is known as a quadrichamberlain.

This one at Cedar Point is bigger and a lot more fun.

This is right down the road from me .

"Mahy and friends have been working on the project the past few weeks. They hope to have it finished in the next few days and ultimately would like to sell the swing and donate the proceeds to the efforts to build a new playground at Meaford Community School."

I guess that's easier than just building the new playground?


He wanted to build the new playground but insurance issues from the schools stopped him, so he`s doing the next best thing and fundraising for new equipment.

Kudos to him.

Don't forget the restraining orders.

I see your fanboy challenge and raise you the far better themed Barnstormer.

I always wondered what a colossal farking waste of time and effort looked like.

/Now I can die happy.
