I hope I’m not too old for you all to remember Oregon Trail, because this shirt is awesome. Its sad to think that the game was about 14 years old when I started playing it in middle school computer class.

Have you ever had something trigger a memory or connection in your hind-brain, but it wouldn’t come to the surface? Tonight Amme was watching VH1 and that insufferable show “I Love New York” came on. If you’re fortunate enough to have never seen this show, its about this mentally unstable girl (nicknamed ‘New York’) and her quest for a “man”, with different men fighting over her. Think “Jerry Springer” meets “The Bachelorette” and you pretty much have the idea. Anyway, whenever I saw ‘New York’ on television, something would start nagging me. What was it? I couldn’t figure it out. I vaguely thought it was something to do with her resemblance to someone, possibly about her massive, titanic, eyebrows and eyelashes. Yet unfortunately, or maybe fortunately, it would pass as soon as I changed the channel.

Then tonight, out of the clear blue, it hit me. My high school teacher Mr. Willey would call it a “Wow Moment”. That instant when something finally clicks into place, like the key piece in a huge puzzle that lets you step back and comprehend the whole picture. Tonight I had my wow moment, and finally realized who “New York looked like:

Thats right, Janice, from “Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem” the Muppet Band. The resemblance goes beyond uncanny to almost eerie, while still maintaining its hilarity. Talk about a person looking like a caricature.
I do hope you fall to the floor in hysterics when you see this shouting “OMG! Thats so true!” Because even as I made these pictures, I was.

Man, so much to rant about. As far as the Mooninite thing, I was going to be brief but I can’t hold my tongue. Washington, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Seattle, Portland, Austin, San Francisco, Philadelphia, and New York all didn’t bat an eyelash at these effin’ lite-brights, and thats all they really were. They weren’t “hoax devices” because there was no hoax. It was marketing. At best you could call them street art, and at worst they are improvised billboards.

So, New York, (and I hate to bring this up, but it makes a good point) the place were 9/11 happened, didn’t get scared in the least at these home-made light-brights, but Boston feels the need not only to freak out, but their Mayor says he’s “outraged” and that an apology isn’t enough.

They claim the responsible parties should pay for the “estimated hundreds of thousands of dollars it cost the city to respond to the bomb scares”, but who turned it into a “bomb scare”? The City. Not the creators, not turner, not [Adult Swim] or the advertising group. No, it was the City of Boston, and they need to pay for their own alarmist behavior.

My point is this: Mayor Thomas Menino and all the other alarmists in Boston are a bunch of pussies. I hate use crude language for fear of sounding ignorant, but thats exactly what they are: big, whiny pussies.

The upshot to all of this is the fact that since all publicity is good publicity, Aqua Teen Hunger Force (The show that “Err” is from) is going to get more attention than they ever dreamed of.

Now that I’ve gotten that off my chest, I’m off to spray-paint a picture of a bob-omb on Faneuil Hall.

Update: Jesse made us this lovely Anti-Terrorism poster:
