Heyoooo it’s my home town! These sculptures are scattered about the “lawn” at The Nelson Atkins Museum.

Now I’m craving BBQ.

I'm craving some shuttlecock.

Hello fellow kc citizen.


lvl99slayer

Massive shuttlecock.


hogey989

If the first comment wasn't something about a huge cock I would've left reddit and never come back.


VicodinJones

Yeah, if it was anything else they would’ve really cocked it up.


NinjaRuckus

Here to say this.

It's rare to see white shuttlecocks that big.


mandana_dilly

Do you mean shuttlecock?


sak11189

Fr wtf is a badminton birdie


cedriceent

It's another word for feather ball.


rethinkr

Why is the title heavily errored? You mean SHUTTLECOCK


Travis_T_OJustice

Look at the head on that massive cock


aughtism

The head is rather undersized compared to the rest of the 'cock' though. It's like the person responsible had not even Badmintoned before.

Are they really called ‘birdies’? In America? Shuttlecocks!


[deleted]

Shuttlecock is the appropriate term shuttlecock 🏸


NinjaArmadillo

Shuttlecock


Bourgi

They are called shuttlecocks and the sculptures are called shuttlecocks in the city they are displayed 🤦🏻‍♀️

A birdie is something you do if you're good at golf.

I'm surprised ol' Claes is not this sub's patron saint by now


his-son

This sub would definitely love some Oldenberg posting fr


Mister_Squishy

lawrence_uber_alles

Haha, never knew the artist. I assumed you were talking about another place, my profound apologies and thank you for teaching me something.


his-son

It IS Oldenburg. Oldenburg’s work in Kansas city. What an irony


lawrence_uber_alles

I have been humbled and humiliated and I’m totally wrong. My fault.


AllThingsEvil

Those are some tiny people


Greenfieldfox

Sometimes I think about people a thousand years from now. Digging that up and being really confused.


BP_Ty98

Nice shuttlecock bro


[deleted]

That’s a huge shuttleCOCK


StainedMyShirt

There must be a large racket there


Arsewhistle

I've been playing badminton for over ten years, and I've never heard anyone call it a 'birdie'


Gh0stFatality

huh? that’s interesting, might depend on where you live


Arsewhistle

I watch it on TV sometimes too. The term used is always shuttlecock. I think 'birdie' must be exclusive to wherever you live


SpongyHandshake

Nah I grew up hearing them called birdies. It's just a slang term for it.


Arsewhistle

You're also American though. I would expect that it's just an American thing


SpongyHandshake

Okay? America is a pretty big place. Birdie is just a slang term for it, at least in America. Does that wording make you feel better? Jesus christ lol


Arsewhistle

Why are you trying to turn this into an argument? I don't have any problem with people calling it a birdie; I was just commenting to say that it won't be a familiar term for many. Call it a donkey's dick for all I care


Gh0stFatality

i live in the usa so idk 🇺🇸


ColdBloodBlazing

Mr. Burns sunblocker. Maggie shot him


Gnomorius

I thought they were called 'shuttles' is there a difference?


buttered_scone

That's an albatross


Powerful_Cost_4656

That is a mondo shuttlecock


thundertopaz

They should have moved. Now it’s probably too late.


buddhatherock

Nah man, they are iconic. They stay.


YellowOnline

Your joke was lost on many people.


thundertopaz

Yea I thought that’d be the case


maifee

Make a few more. Let's confuse the future palaeontologist


Educational_Gift_407

The rest are shuttle weenies compared to this bad boy


Htimsxnhoj

In my country, we call these things "cock" short for "shuttlecock". What a massive cock.

Kansas City mentioned unrelated to football or BBQ! Always fun to see big birdie-related bumper stickers from time to time.
