In honor of former State Rep. Rosemary Kurtz’ call for the McHenry County College Board to hold more open meetings, the Message of the Day today is a graphic created by Crystal Lake Heck of a Guy blogger Allan Showalter.

I asked him if he could use his image manipulation skills (well, I didn’t quite put it in those terms) to create a melting MCC baseball stadium.

Showalter told me the words of MacArthur Park kept running through his mind:

MacArthur Park is melting in the dark
All the sweet, green icing flowing down
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no!

I was thinking of the Wicked Witch of the West melting into the floor, but Showalter’s vision works well.
