This is the amazing back part of one of the pinball machines in the Indiana Memorial Union. I pass it all the time, and decided I had to take a picture of it because it’s so great. They just don’t make pinball machines like this anymore.

Please note the incredible gore, both of the triceratops having a chunk ripped out of its back and of the T-Rex getting gored in the stomach. The three cavemen watch the fight with some interest, while a pteradacyl soars over the volcanoes in the background.

It’s like a modern Van Gogh.

A friend sent me a link to this youtube clip of a comedian – Louis CK – on Conan the other night. I’ve never heard of him, though I appreciate his simple message in this clip.

One of the reasons I moved into my current apartment was because I liked the fact that it had a nice, wooded backyard that – complete with a fire pit – that was dark at night.

Well, my landlord really hasn’t turned out to be such a great guy. The place isn’t so hot either. For the last couple weeks they’ve been doing some kind of mysterious work to the apartment downstairs (the one that always has bass coming from it, regardless of the hour) – and so this is what the backyard looks like.

This picture was inspired by the fact that the guy that my landlord hires to do stuff decided to mow today, so he just literally mowed over and around all this crap. Classic.

And here’s the challenge. Can you all of these things in the photo? If you can, you win!

- Snow shovel
- (4) half-cinder blocks
- One FULL cinder block
- Croquet set
- Taco bell cup
- McDonald’s cup
- Coffee mug (with coffee still in it)
- Tire
- Bag of cypress mulch
- Mysterious cable
- Empty bottle of mountain dew.

this is what happens when you ignore the forecast and have to bike home in the pouring rain.
