Throwback Thursday: Knock, Knock…..Who’s There??

Big Monster Toys 4

[This is a repost of a post I wrote several years ago. I thought a good chuckle was in order! I hope you enjoy it — have a wee laugh if you are so inclined!]

The GIGANTIC door in the photo above is 14 feet high; yes, I kid you not.  Well, funny, I would use the word “kid” as this door is not functional; it is a display of sorts at “Big Monster Toys Company” here in Chicago.  Look who is guarding the toy company with mammoth teeth and googly eyes:

Why, it’s this guy, “Big Monster” himself! I daresay not too many people will get past this green, hairy, scary guy, will they? To put the size of the door into perspective, I waited until a couple of people walked by; you’ll see what I mean:

I tried to get a good photo of the door; however, I had to stand on the road and watch for traffic to get the pictures you see here!  Suffice it to say they were a quick snap and got back on the sidewalk quickly!

I attempted to see if there was another door into the building, one without a centurion monster!  I couldn’t find anything open to the public.  I sure wanted to get past that furry fiend and take a peek inside!  Ah, Chicago, you are filled with fun!

      I never did, Don! Thank you for asking the question, as I am now back to thinking about finding it! LOL How odd that the monster would prevent us from have a look-see inside? LOL! *grin* Cher xoxoxo

        Yes, I saw it’s size, it must be tough to keep that door sealed in winter. Just guessing!

        I hadn’t even thought of that, John! Maybe the monster scares the drafts away! I mean, he is pretty hulking after all! LOL Cher xoxoxo

        Yeah, he’s a huge guard dog! 💀 I just changed the seals on my doors because even here it’s drafty and the bugs and scorpions had an easy ingress… No more!

        LOL John, when I read the word ‘scorpions’ I instantly remembered that you weren’t in Michigan anymore! LOL (I knew you weren’t, but I thought it sounded funny!) Cher xoxoxo

        Nope! I’ve been out of Michigan since 2103, have we been following each other that long or am I missing something? I like to take a black light flashlight out at night and go shining for scorpions. You must have long pants, full shoes and socks. And, a tool like a very long screwdriver or other tools to terminate them. Sounds like great fun, eh? Not! 😂

    How delightful! SF has some great doors but you have to stand in the road.
