Let’s leave it that way and let’s not dwell on Mr. McElhinney’s product.

What for? They can borrow the mummy sarcophagus from another museum and place a sign that Helen used this as a kid.

People would pay good money to NOT see that crap. It would scar children for life. It would cause regular adults to jab their eyes out with nails. Now if it were installed for pest control purposes. . . . . . .

My father had a cape buffalo trophy on his office wall for years -- until I sent him this.

“Scrappleface?”

Now, now. There’s no need to call Ms. Thomas names.

Risking my eyes on this thread, but had to ask: Who would want to go to a museum with the ugly witches face displayed? Not that physical beauty is all that important but she is ugly on the inside as well.

I still can’t believe that they want to “honor a woman” that doesn’t involve stoning.

Hmm. I wonder what a Women of the Democratic Party Museum would look like. I remember someone did a bust of Hillary a while back...

I heard seeing into Helen’s eyes does indeed turn you into stone.

Why do a statue when they can just have the old gal herself stand in the museum ?
