Anyone that has ever seen the Sopranos opening credits will recognize this fella who stands underneath the Pulaski Skyway in Jersey City, NJ.
There is a pair of yellow fiberglass pants that lurks near by~

New York Bunyan

Interestingly enough, this Bunyan Muffler Man has stood just a stones throw from my hometown for years though I've never had the chance to see him.
Yesterday we finally made the time to stop in to say, 'Hey Paul.' He is clearly well cared for, an excellent specimen.

Mufflerman 2.0

This is the second time in as many weekends that I've been out on the bike and spied some roadside sculpture that was made out of what appears to be insulating foam.
I was riding along and saw the muffler guy out of the corner of my eye. I pulled a quick U-y, parked my bike and walked up next to him to give him a gentle poke and take a few pictures.
As I stood there snapping a few shots I heard a car slowly creeping up behind me in the gravel parking lot. At the point that I could feel its presence about 5 feet behind me, I turned around and looked at the guy in drivers seat. He was a happy looking fellow that chuckled and said, 'I was driving by and I thought, what the heck is she doing?' He was actually quite pleasant and offered to take my picture with the MM, but I politely declined. With my luck, he'd look pleasant as he drove off with my camera
In hindsight, I find the fact that he was so curious about what I was curious about rather... curious.

Can you imagine just how boring this world would be if it weren't for the kooks? Thank sweet baby Jebus for those offbeat weirdos who build junk towers, drive furry cars, decorate the lawns of their million dollar properties with dinosaurs.
