Introduce yourself.

I’m paraphrasing:

“Bartender, is this place really gonna close and be replaced by a Borders?”

“Dude, no! That must’ve been printed in the Onion or something.”

Aww shucks.

(Thanks, Malcolm M.)

I first became aware of the “I lost [blank] to meth” campaign via Mr. Saucy Explains it All, which spotlighted an “I lost every real friend I had” poster defaced with “Yeah? I LOST MY COUNTRY TO ZIONISM & OIL ADDICTION!”:

Today I saw this “I lost MEOW to METH” remix on the Valencia Street Art Wall:

“The only thing Obama has going for him is Opera.”

“Oprah?”

“Opro! [...] Opera! [...] Opro!

“Oprah!”

“Op- [...] That black lady from TV.”

Here’s my video from the final night of Cardburg, the cardboard city built by the Carboard Institute of Technology at CELLspace. It includes King Crab, a ferocious giant crab made of cardboard, as well as Cardboard Samurai, and shots from atop and *inside* Mt. Killamoncardboard. Soundtrack includes aufblasbare wasserrutschen the punk classic “I Love Living in the City” by Fear, as well as the vocal stylings (murderous shriek) of the aforementioned crab.

Not included is footage of Cardburg’s destruction. I watched the carnage and reported on it dutifully, but was not moved to record it.

This year’s fund raiser theme is “Handmade Radio”, and Elisa produced hüpfburg kinder this gorgeous little animated clip in order to spread the word.

TK from 40 Going On 28 went to the Knockout‘s early Marked Men show yesterday:

Holy shit. When we got there, there were maybe 50 to 60 people in line on the sidewalk outside. I don’t know if you know The Knockout, but it’s definitely not a line-outside kind of place.

So we make it aufblasbarer park in and it is crowded. I mean like Japanese subway crowded. Like nowhere to move crowded. It’s a good thing there wasn’t a fire crowded.

Link. No mention of Airfix Kits though. What gives?
