Wild & 'Whacky' Guess

Wild & 'Whacky' Guessing Game in Belleville, Illinois

Since it's Wednesday, I thought I'd challenge the groups to be on the wild & 'whacky' side and play a guessing game.

The metal sculpture below is one of the three sculptures installed on the western corner of what we call, The Square or The Fountain, on Main Street in Belleville, Illinois. (Actually the square is a roundabout, like the one around L'Arc de Triomphe in L'Paris.)

This sculpture was donated to the City of Belleville by a private citizen. The artist already titled the sculpture, but since it's Wild Wednesday, guess the one word title to this sculpture--to see if you can capture the artist's vision of this piece. Only one word...if you guess it correctly... you're a winner!

Yolanda - the only thing I know is that my mind is a little "wild & wacky" about now!

Hi, Kathy - Thank you, but it's not. Good try, though. :) Make it a great June, too.

LOL Tracie... not. :)

Hi, Barbara - it's been sooo hot & humid here lately, enough to make one 'wild & wacky'. It's not correct though. ;)

WOW! Yolanda, That's a tough one. Maybe it's a cork screw or a snake??? I give up. I will check back tomorrow on the correct response.

Since a private citizen donated it to a government, I'm going to have to go with "screwed."

Howdy and evening to you Yolanda

Yolanda, I can think of three different ones that the name could be, but I'm just not sure as to which one to pick. Sorry!

Have a good one

Hi, C&C - It's not 'whacked', though it's a good try. :)

Hello, Larry! Good try but nope. Thanks for trying, though. :)

Oh, Eric. You're a bad boy. Nice try! :)

Come on, Dale - take a stab at it. :)

Here's a clue... it's not physical.

I'll reveal tomorrow evening!

Yolanda--Your clue confused me even more....I would say twisted but from your clue, if it is not physical, is it mental?

Good evening, Teri. LOL Sorry to be confusing, but twisted it's not. The guesses are fun though. Thank you!

SPIRIT! Well, I never would have guessed that one! Thanks for the fun, Yolamda.

Yolanda - an intereasting name but certainly not one you would think of by looking at it ..... given the inscription I can see where Linda, the person who donated it, would be thinking of the spirit of her son

Teral - thank you for playing! Maybe we can do it again. :)

Kathy - if I had to guess it probably won't be Spirit either. It's a beautiful sculpture, and memorial that the public can admire.

Yolanda: I came back for the "final answer". I would have never guessed SPIRIT.

I like guessing games, I'll be ready for the next one.

Hi, C&C! Had I not seen the bench first, I wouldn't have guessed it correctly either. I will have another one on your group next Wednesday if you don't mind. :)

I had fun with it I hope you did, too. Thank you for dropping by!

This is a fun post and like the others, I would never have guessed..."Spirit" Glad this mom has a good remembrance of her son.
