Wal-Mart Distribution!

Ever wonder what is bigger than a wal-mart or a super wal-mart?  The wal-mart distribution center of central texas.... you could house a small country in this building.  My camera couldn't even fit the entire building into the shot.   Remember the scene in the Raiders of the Lost Arc when they are filing away the Arc of the covenant into the secret government big box that goes on and on and on filled with all the mysteries of the world... this building is filled with all the mysteries of consumption! Who Builds this shit? oh yah - CHINA! I bet this building is even prefab from China and is just as disposable as the crap that it houses.  Who buys this shit!

Who Built This SHITTER?

Nothing says welcome like entering through a GIANT SHITTER! As one of our readers so elegantly put it: "Some people call it the toilet seat building, some people call it a stargate.  Whatever it is, it makes me cringe everytime I see it."  Is it a billboard or is it a duck - Venturi would ask -  Maybe it is the the Kimberly-Clark headquarters and it is really a duck.  Though we have to explore the Stargate alien angle as well.  Maybe aliens are following suit from Men in Black and hiding their spaceships in the last place we would look, right under our noses.  In that case maybe this building will just disappear one day!

"The Bubble"

Every time I drive past this "building"  I imagine myself jumping out of an airplane with a giant needle and popping this "bubble", like out of some 007 movie.  Since when is something that requires an air pump not a code violation? I wonder what the building permit said - Inflatable Structure, Bubble Building, Air Architecture, Plastic Fantastic.... ? The irony is this is a training facility for the University of Texas Longhorns - they are rich! and they build a bubble building - I hope none of those fans hit this building with those longhorns it could pop - Hook 'em Horns (just not in this "building").  Maybe its not a building but an escape pod, you unhook it and sail away in the event of a natural disaster like an Ark! That makes more sense - NOT! Who Builds This Shit?
