how can you be hyped up about that obelisk sammy - really, it's not much to look at! it's a good word though.
but we could go down the phoenix park and have a picnic in the shadow of the obelisk there!
gotta say, hyped about most things, but this obelisk, not so much :)
how about the grove behind it - it looks like a nicer picnic spot altogether.
true, true. although to be honest, the whole place looks a bit scrotey.
See, to me, this is a nicer obelisk:

place de la concorde, in Paris

(to me, looks much nicer for picnics)
This one here (second only to the Europe/asia one in terms of cruddiness)

(nicest of all for picnics, and naps, and maybe some sort of kite flying, I'd imagine, if I were daydreaming about travelling rather than faking more of these photographs: http://bumblingthesis.blogspot.com)
on the point of obelisks did you know that the third biggest obelisk in the world is in Ireland?
it's in the phoenix park... the biggest is the washington monument and i'm not sure what number two is but there you go
