    Build the snow man around a concrete pillar or post. Saw this on a video once. Over the course of a few nights, people were building snowmen in a carpark, and local idiots where driving their cars through them, so eventually the builders built their snowman around a four foot tall concrete bollard. he next morning the snowman had gone, to be replaced by the mangled wreck of a yob-box.

    This is a good idea. I did it the simple way, though. On Saturday I built a snowman in the yard of my country house. It is private property and no trespassing is allowed. My idea was to build it on the limit of my physical abilities. I kept rolling the first ball till it was so heavy that I was no longer able to move it. Then I made the second ball. I could not lift it with my hands, so I used a board as a ramp to mount it on the first one. I had to bring a small staircase to mount the final one, the head. It still isn't too tall, just about 1.90 m, but it's quite massive. Yesterday it was a bit chilly, and I think the snow froze and consolidated into a dense mass. With that, I hope that my new friend will survive till May.

    just checked his profile in detail and he was in NTUA
    around the time you attended?

    Tsipras is an avid football fan and, having grown up near the stadium, supports Panathinaikos, attending every home game that he can.

    Right Storm. But he was transferred to NTUA from a small university due to his father's connections.

    He's a populist that practices communism ideas. A clown.

    Here's a video

    Our pres started as populist, too. He also talks funny. That said, he's got a perfect political instinct and he is a quick learner. He's been in the office for twenty years by now and outlasted all presidents in the neighboring countries, both democratic and undemocratic. If you accept that the politician's main goal is power, he can surely qualify as a successful politician. He also tends to lean to the left, but he changes his economic policies from socialist to liberal in a wink of an eye, as the situation requires.

    Just a take on a comparative study.
