As you’re probably aware, it’s been quite a hectic news week here in Michigan.
But of all the stories bouncing around the media echo chamber, without a doubt, my favorite Michigan-centric of the week has been the failed implosion of the much maligned and neglected Pontiac Silverdome.
See video below.
To be honest, it really wasn’t the failed implosion itself, but rather the scores of supposed Facebook events created to help bring the Silverdome down.
Here’s just a few, in no particular order. And mind you, people took time to make these, most with a pretty funny graphic.
- Body slam Andre the Giant until the Silverdome falls down
Everyone Bring A Fan And Aim It Towards The Silverdome
Help the Kool-Aid Man Knock Down the Silverdome
Everyone dress like Eleven and scream at the Silverdome until it explodes (Listener note: I don’t even know what the “Eleven” reference refers to, but I assuming it is “Scanners-esque)
Roast a Large Turkey in the Silverdome
Pray the Silverdome away
Do donuts and 2-step around the Silverdome until it collapse
Feed The Silverdome Krabby Patties Until It Explodes
Pour jet fuel on the rest of the Silverdome
Watch Sharknado finish the Silverdome Demolition
Cheering The Silverdome On Because It's No Quitter… #silverdomestrong
Crash Mustangs in to the Silverdome to Knock it Down
March around the Pontiac Silverdome for 7 days until it collapses
Silverdome headed back to the home planet going away party
Encase the Silver Dome in a big plastic bubble and turn it into Biodome
And finally, and probably the most appropriately….
“Lions play Silverdome one last time to finish off the bombing.”
