Quote of the Day

“But the thing I truly, truly cannot live without, is a ‘Kirin Dragon.’ That beaut there is a 7.5-foot-tall fiberglass statue. I can’t imagine where it was supposed to go or why, with this on hand, they threw that crappy Henry Moore into the pocket park.” — Steve Friess, on MGM Resorts International‘s online auction of “a whole bunch of damaged or excess, well, crap” intended for CityCenter … but available to be repurposed within the comfort of your own home. Yes, you too can pretend to be the owner of a Dubai World-financed, failed experiment in “new urbanism.” (Methinks some incongruously upscale furnishings are going to start turning up in low-budget and tribal casinos across our great country.)
