Baseball season is almost here, and I came across this video of Conan O'Brien interviewing people who play olde tyme baseball: "1864 rules, 1864 costumes. Some say a waste of time. Others say an incredible waste of time."

The Retirement of Foulke

He didn't exactly throw smoulke.
He's not the most lovable bloulke.
But in Boston they're glad
For the time that they had
A man who for once didn't choulke.

Dubya the Menace is a randomized Dennis The Menace comic with real quotes, straight from George W. Bush's mouth.

I don't really ride any more but I can still appreciate it. This video of Scotty Cranmer takes skatepark riding into videogame territory...

"Gentlemen...behold! I have shut down a major American city!"

What drives me nuts about this whole thing — besides the fact that these have been posted around the city for at least 2 weeks before this whole thing (figuratively) blew up — is that TV and newspaper reports keep referring to these small light-up billboards as "packages" (they're clearly not) and calling the whole thing a "hoax." Jeff summed it up best:

These guerilla ads are not hoaxes. Perhaps they are graffiti. Perhaps they were poorly planned and executed, but there is absolutely nothing "hoax" about them. A hoax is something designed to look like something else. These were battery powered illuminated signs designed to look like battery powered illuminated signs.

Also, I find it hard to believe that there are no college interns -- i.e. somebody who would recognize the Mooninites -- working for the Boston city government or any of the Boston TV stations or newspapers...
