BEWARE: geeks on bikes

Theo is having an XKCD ride next week. He's going to dress as Cory Doctorow, and he's encouraging other people to do something XKCD-related as well.

I think I'm gonna make a sign and be this guy:



But I have a feeling I won't be the only one...

...and in case you're wondering, I'm one of the bazillion people who counts this one as a favorite.

Did I ever tell you about the Funkhouse?

In Spokane there is a street named "Funk". Some friends of mine rented a small house on the corner. It was certainly named "The Funkhouse".

It was kind of a punk rock flop pad. A lot of people in and out, only a couple "for certain" residents.

The rest of the story is "alleged".

There may have been a power outage one night. Certain residents may have taken a pickup truck to a nearby burger establishment. There might have been a knife used to cut some mesh that surrounded the ball crawl. Perhaps the possible pickup was then loaded with all of the balls that may have certainly existed in the ball crawl. Anything is possible, right?

Is it possible the truck found its way back to the Funkhouse? Is there any plausibility to certain residents blocking off the entry to one of the rooms and then filling it with the balls?

This is certain: Some incredibly foul things were fished out of that room when the last Funkizen left.

Well, the hover-text for the XKCD comic says something about not being able to keep this hygenic. I wonder how they keep them clean at the playgrounds??

All I know for sure, is that they exploded in popularity, right after I became too old to play in them (according to the posted signs, see). WHERE WAS THE JUSTICE. I sometimes did anyway if I didn't think I'd get caught.
