Is anybody yet doing a reality-game show called "Masterputz"?

To the observant visitor, says Mitch Waxman, his home turf of Astoria, Queens, offers "a cornucopia of visual stimuli," such as "occult altars, weird neighbors, even puzzling tableaus like the one presented above."

For a special Boxing Day edition of his "Newtown Pentacle" blog yesterday, our pal Mitch Waxman found himself scouting the "cornucopia of visual stimuli" to be found in his home base of Astoria, Queens, including the "puzzling tableau" we see above. And then there was a parked truck that drew his attention, not so much for the un-extraordinary truck itself, "employed by some sort of concrete or construction company" and viewed first in normal perspective, as for the logo on one of its components visible in this close-up:



Putzmeister, Mitch says he's told,
is a German company that specializes in manufacturing concrete pumping equipment which is quite successful. Putzmeister, I understand, literally translates to “pump master.” Still, one finds himself chuckling at the name “Putzmeister” as my emotional maturity is that of a 12 year old boy.
I suppose I should apologize too, but the name "Putzmeister" had the same chuckle-rousing effect on me. Say, couldn't this be a new reality-game show: Masterputz?
