Here's another of Borger's decorated pump jacks. This one stands proudly in front of the town high school. The school's mascot is the Bulldog, so you see the row of little bulldogs climbing up the pump. The red and black paint represents the school colors. I wonder if the school cheer was changed to "Pump 'Em, Dogs"?
At least I like this one's theme!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was a little guy in Oklahoma, I used to walk past two of these on the way to school. I called them rocking horses. Never thought about decorating though. Not sure what I think. The purist it me says it is just wrong! :)
ReplyDeleteThink of it this way, Michael, it's a lot easier to overcome and change the path of a cute little bull dog, or whatever the decoration is, than a ginormously multi billion dollared, power suited oil company. I find it very empowering myself. And cute. Very cute.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
