Mount Rushmore President’s Nostrils Bat Reserve

 drill out the nostrils to create a bat reserve

The President's Heads carved into Mount Rushmore are completely solid. I think this is a wasted opportunity, and I now propose that the heads are hollowed out to create an interior cavity, with an access point at the nostrils. This will provide the perfect habitat for a large colony of bats.

At twilight the bats will dramatically emerge from the nostrils in large flocks potentially exceeding the spectacle of the Mexican free tailed bat swarm at Austin Texas.

       That snot funny.   

       In my notebook, I had considered intermittent waterfalls, but the bats won in the end.

       They already said no way to my proposal to cover them with mosaic tiles, so I don't like to push it too far.

       Put a giant spliff in their mouths as well with motion sensors in the nostrils so the lamp at it's end glows at appropriate times as the bats exit to make it look like they're enjoying a puff.

       And I always thought it was Mrs. Lincoln that was completely batty.

       If it is any consolation the place I had my Sasquatch encounter and found nests of hair in an old abbondoned copper mine is now a bat sanctuary with steel gates...   

       just say'n   

       Also, we have a bat which has taken up residence in an upper corner if our public shower/bathroom facilities.   

       I call him Henry... I'm not sure why.   

       Henry is a great name for a bat. Well done.

       I used to have a wolf spider that scuttled across the same patch of living room floor at around the same time every night, I called him George.

       (all sing)   

       "I'm Henery the bat I am
'enery the bat I am I am.
I reside above the bathroom floor
I chase bugs and Sasquatch out the door.
And all my friends are 'eneries
We wouldn't have a 'Willie' or a 'Sam', goddamn.
I'm the bat I am, I'm 'enery
'enery the bat I am!"

       Excellent song.

       I think the whole head should be hollow, and, as in "Being John Malkovich", act as a museum of his thinking. Would be empty except for bats in Trump's case.

       Why doesn't some entrprising developer build an entire suburb where the houses are all head-shaped instead of cube-shaped? The eyes can be windows, the jaw can drop for entry and exit (no reason why the front door should have vertical hinges). The nostrils can be entry and exit points for pet bats, pigeons or bees.

       //Would be empty except for bats in Trump's case.// No - bats are nice and would avoid Trump's head. Maggots on the other hand are not very nice and would make great inhabitants for a mini version of Trump's head placed on a stick as a bird feeder.

       Ah yes, of course, but you couldn't have entire fields of those to feed large flocks of birds.
