Tightrope Walker on Bidwell
Category: elmwood
When I first saw this guy I thought he was floating in the air. On closer inspection I realized that he was instead a tightrope walked.

On a creepier note, when trying to pick out the bidwell location on the map...



...firefox on my desktop computer was able to guys my location by 21 feet.

Trapped in a box
I feel so bad for the miners trapped in that mine. How is it that it will take untill christmas to dig them out. It seems like humans should be able to dig them out faster. Maybe BP should donate some of it's massive drilling equipment to them.

This map makes it even more confusing. If the light grey areas are the mined part, then how do the paths work.

Rough St. Patrick's Day

This fraggle must have had a rough St. Patrick's day last March. I found her in a closet this morning and she still looks hung over.

Hey straight guys, thanks for the show
Category: clothes
Seriously, straight dudes. I can't believe sagging pants are all the rage again. It seems like the gayest thing in the world but I see guys I would otherwise think are not gay doing it.

I am not complaining, I just don't understand who the intended audience of your ass is. I assume you aren't thinking me, but at the same time your butt is hanging out right in front of my face. Do girls get turned on by this? To me it seems like the gay equivalent of a girl with her boobs flopping out of her blouse. But if you are a guy into girls, what do you think they are getting out of that. Do anyone women like this?

I imagine it has to be uncomfortable to wear, especially when the pants hang so low that you have trouble peddling your low rider bike because the crotch part of the pants is binding your knees together.

The other thing I don't get is how your ass is not sweaty. Maybe I am just a hairy italian guy but seriously, there you are riding your bike in pretty much nothing but boxers on a really hot day. Doesn't your butt get sweaty and that would be embarrassing. Maybe all the air prevents it, lol.

This picture comes from the wikipedia article It makes the whole phenomena seems like a black thing stemming from prison culture where belts are forbidden.

I would argue like just about everyone other trend, it seems like white guys have joined the bandwagon full force, at least in buffalo yet I could not find nearly as many pics of it online. Maybe it really is a buffalo only white thing. I am going to try and get some to prove it.

Apparently, someone in NYC someone has started a campaign to stop people from "sagging" on the bus.

Ok that 1st picture is just silly the pants are like past his junk in the front.. There is a little sag and if it sags right you can't tell cause the shirt covers it. There are some who have no belt and sag. Then there are those that have the belt and don't have it tight enough on purpose or by accident. Tiny sag is ok and comfy assuming you don't have to keep adjusting. Culturaly I think it comes from when people where poor they wore big jeans so that they would last longer on given them from an older brother, or that is what I heard one person say. But it is like any style pinning your jeans , or tight to show of the junk. I kinda miss the tight jeans untill you get wood and can't walk cause it blocks your leg.......

Ugh. That's all.
