That's some funny shit.

For some reason, it's funnier because the graffiti is pink.

Not entirely sure why, but that little detail made me giggle.

Am I weird?

Too bad there' s no video.  Arthur_Clark would be all over it.

And go to sleep.  You're much too young to be staying up all night looking for useless news!

I was planning on making them wax my floors and re-organize some of the junk in my storage room, actually.

Oh, and clean out the bathroom drain.  I really hate doing that.

Well, I used to have this cute little houseboy that would take care of these things.

But now I have a boyfriend again.

Can't have a live-in boyfriend and a houseboy at the same time.  Doesn't work.

But on the same note, can't really make the boyfriend clean as often the houseboy.

~sigh~

What is this ?  It's like Will and Grace without any of the charm.

So, it's exactly like Will & Grace.

We used to do something similar in college. Put a cinder block inside an empty case of beer and set it on the sidewalk. We'd all sit on the porch and watch people walk by and try to kick the empty case of beer. Good times had by all...

Update.

Quote
BERLIN (Reuters) - Police in Berlin said on Wednesday they had arrested two men on suspicion of placing cement-filled soccer balls around the city and inviting people to kick them. At least two people injured themselves by kicking the balls, which were chained to lampposts and trees alongside the spray-painted message: "Can you kick it?"

Police said they had identified a 26-year-old and a 29-year-old and had found a workshop in their apartment where they made the balls. The two are accused of causing serious physical injury, dangerous obstruction of traffic and causing injury through negligence, police said.
