Mission Mission

Here’s the piece in question (of which tipster Carl C. says, “I’d call this art… possibly commissioned”):

Yeah, it’s nice.

(Thanks, Carl.)

The stakes have been raised once again!  This clever use of geometry takes the previously-featured 2 bikes, 1 lock formula to the next power by exponentially increasing the parties involved.  While not necessarily as efficient as the aforementioned 3 bikes, 1 lock solution, this nonetheless makes for quite the sidewalk spectacle.  Which one gets the grand prize for bike lock ingenuity?  I will leave that to you, gentle reader.

Of course, one thing is for sure:  This is way better than 2 bikes, no locks!  No way I’ll be able to teach any lessons in this case…

Welcome to a new era, everybody. I’d like to thank Helen, Tag and Vic for making sure the implementation of these additions to the site’s design fit in as nicely as possible. I would thank our first sponsor, except I can’t because this first campaign is a mystery campaign. (But thanks, mystery sponsor.) And a very big thanks to Nick P. for helping make this all happen (and if you’d like to advertise on Mission Mission, hit him up at nick@missionmission.org).

Lastly, thanks to all you readers for reading all these years, and for bearing with us as we try to make some money (which will then hopefully help us make the site even better).

Ash Reiter has been one of our favorite local bands for years now. This holiday season, they’re offering a free download of a new Christmas song. Check it out here.

Ryan is a local artist who happens to love printing up killer shirts with trippy imagery or weird messages. There are tons to choose from, and they’re all great. Today only, you can get a deep discount if you buy two.

Jihaari is one of our favorite local artists (and karaoke singers). He’s got some custom decks up for sale right now, and for just $30 apiece. Purchase (or get in touch with him to see more pics or find out more details) here.

David Cole is one of the geniuses that redesigned our blog for us earlier this year. Now he’s moved on to bigger and better things, namely the creation of custom Lego sets with custom-procured Lego pieces and hand-drawn instruction booklets.

I am excited to officially launch my shop with the release of the deer LEGO kit. I’ve tried building it with real pieces now, and I need to make a couple structural changes, but it will look the same. Also, I’m hand drawing the graphics for the instruction manual, which should be fun and painstaking.

Read on for the full story and pics of the instruction booklets, or just buy the kit here. Orders must be in by December 5th if you want it in time for Christmas. (David’s shop also has a kickass homemade crossword puzzle for sale.)
