The Airportline: Observations

As the rest of the Dutch population made normal snow men, or in some instances snow dogs, they set their sights higher. It was an early Sunday morning when they met at the south entrance of Vondelpark. They spend the first few hours smoking and making drawings. Dutch families made circles around them with their snow hungry kids and functional strollers. After a few hours of preparation they began working on their giant snow man. Since many of them had not attended their biology classes their snow man did not have the ball shape structure of ordinary snow men, or the more straight structure of a real man. Instead it turned out looking more like an over sized object school children could practice putting on a condom on. When I told this to the architects they immediately tried to strangle me with the snowman’s scarf. I retracted my statement and choose to view its creative and aspirational qualities instead. After hours of hard labor, always accompanied by several professionally rolled joints, the builders were finally ready to show of their work as the sun slowly began to set over the snow covered trees. Cameras surrounded the young men as they proudly posed next to their giant creation. It was the proudest moment of their life, their own moon landing, their own Eiffel Tower. It was only a few days until Christmas but these tenacious construction workers showed that even a few days before the big day of giving, a giant snow man in the shape of a dildo can be provided for free to an appreciative public. There is nothing like giving a giant snow man to the people of Amsterdam, the architects concluded, before leaving the park and the snowman to its own devices.
