Back

@Spooky Not enough ca$hmoney and also the gargoyles kept calling people pricks and upsetting them.

@Spooky

After the gargoyle accords of 1977, when the cease fire came into effect between the parties of this long-running conflict

@Spooky they can fall off.

@Spooky Have you not seen Ghostbusters?

@Spooky plumbing improved. But that's no excuse not to use more grotesques...

@Spooky because of capitalism

@Spooky Actually, we do! They just fly away promptly!

@Spooky enough of them inside these days

@Spooky The gargoyles unionized, and we refused to pay them a proper undead wage.

@Spooky The Gargoyle Police....

@Spooky We do, they just come to life and fly off a lot faster than the old days

@Spooky If I ever build a house, definitely working in some gargoyles, spires and a secret entrance

@Spooky I take four

@Spooky With the development of corporate gerentocracy, we put the gargoyles inside on the top floor instead.

@Spooky improvements in drainage, rain gutters, and wastewater diversion.

Now, as for why we stopped putting grotesques on buildings, I couldn’t fathom. Cities should definitely be completely covered with depictions of fantastical and mythical creatures.

@Spooky not just gargoyles but all the ornamentation for the sake of being visually pleasing. It's like we decided everything must be functional, and it lost us so much.

@Spooky Gargoyles are there to protect against evil, so all the capitalists wouldn't be able to enter.

@Spooky @linuxfiend Because the gargoyles are the owners and managers working inside.

@Spooky Hmm… I have a 3D printer and a building… https://www.thingiverse.com/tag:gargoyle

@Spooky ...this may be more answer than you wanted, but I liked it. https://www.currentaffairs.org/2017/10/why-you-hate-contemporary-architecture

@Spooky
Because rainwater downpipes have been invented?

@Spooky Finally a topic I can support.

@Spooky @MightyOCD 1) Security guards are on the ground 2) cameras are up high always watching 3) gargoyles fall in bad weather & 4) all the monsters are in the building

@Spooky
We haven't all stopped.
But they are much more impressive when they loom over your head and are carved from stone.

@Spooky I think we banned them after they started waking up.

@Spooky We voted them into power instead.

@Spooky Inquiring minds want to know!

@Spooky @the_etrain Because we started putting them in our homes.

~Trolling~ #JoeRogan

@Spooky we seem to have put them in government.

@Spooky Doggoyles : the future.

@Spooky Wegen der Kosten. - Dafür stellen wir jede Menge Figuren aus Lichtern auf. Zumindest in manchen Jahreszeiten. Gargoyles dont iritate insects that much. - So I'm for the Gargoyles. Have you put one to your house?

@Spooky Modern roof-drainage technologies do tend to have a lot less flair than the gargoyles & grotesques.

@Spooky you think we put them there?
to my best knowledge these creatures roamed earth a couple of hundered years ago and turned to stone when a good wizard summoned the sun.

@Spooky
We started electing them and putting them on the inside.

@Spooky
Did we?

@Spooky The Weeping Angels sent them back in time, ...again.

@Spooky They kept jumping off. Don't blink.

@Spooky #gargoyles should be made mandatory

@Spooky

Because they moved into the CEO's office?
