<deleted> is that monstrosity supposed to be?

[StevieH]

it's a map of 'the tube' chicog. it's an undergound rail network that they have in london, which people use as a mass transit system to get to and from wherever they need to. except this map has been done with footballers' names.

not unlike 'the great bear' by simon patterson.

I must be thick. I don't get it. Why is Euston called Zeppo? And why is Stratford called Napoleon? They don't sound remotely similar. And Bear does not sound like Tube. This is just silly.

Napoleon (Stratford) - Once said "Let China sleep, for when she wakes she will shake the world". The rest of the sinologues on this line certainly shook it, and shook it good. They are thee main protagonists of China's turbulent and bloody 20th century history.

zeppo i don't know - possibly because the other marx brother, karl, is next door?

So someone's copied one of the most iconic pieces of design in history, stuck footballers names all over it, and you call it a "thing of beauty"?

<deleted> doesn't take much to impress you, does it?

This is a thing of beauty on par with RAWK's par league.
