What do you think about my pic?

Old-timey postcard of Satan’s Left Testicle as it looked in 1935, seeming a bit more baked potato-like than it appears in photographs taken while it was still located at the summit of nearby Hollyhock Hill.

When it was discovered in 1929 that the enormous landmark boulder was in danger from an infestation of stone-boring Dolemite beetles, it was blown up, carted down the hill, and reconstructed on a traffic island in the town’s Upper Common, where it still sits today.

Postcard from 1911 depicting Satan’s Left Testicle, a twelve-foot-tall, 130-ton porphyritic granite boulder deposited by glacial action at the summit of Hollyhock Hill, just above the quaint town of Mechanic Falls, Maine.

At some point before the postcard was fashioned, an iron strap was added to the giant rock to keep it from splintering apart and infecting the countryside with motes of pure evil.
