I, for one, welcome our new Muppet Kate Pierson overlords

I take it back, this is the best video ever.

Don't get too excited now, guys.

Ladies and Gentlemen, we have a new winner for the "Creepiest Photo on this Blog" award!

In the months since the Lucky☆Star anime aired, Saitama prefecture, the setting of the series, has been finding new and innovative ways to make a quick buck from the franchise. This includes the show's Hiiragi family being registered as official residents of Washimiya, and the Washinomiya shrine (where Tsukasa and Kagami Hiiragi work as miko) hosting an event attracting thousands.

Now the city of Satte, hometown of main character Konata Izumi, has gotten into the act as well. The city is installing decorative panels commemorating the series on over 500 of its street lamps. This is in addition to the limited edition sake already available in the city.

If this were any country other than Japan, these would be covered in Sharpie scribbles by now.

In light of these events, the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce would like to issue the following reminder:

Demotagging

Red arrow - approximate location of Scavenger Hunt.
This room is also the location of the latter half of In which I realize far too late...

Just a reminder:

Next new year's eve will be the last time you'll be able to wear the incoming year as a pair of glasses for the next nine hundred and ninety one years.

Start planning now.

In which I realize far too late that I have chosen the wrong university to attend

Man, it's amazing the kind of halftime show you can pull off when you don't have only ten poorly-funded band members trying to share the field with 412 vapid cheerleaders.

There are certain high schools around here that could possibly learn a lot from this, but then again, who needs silly things like funding for the arts, when you can have hundreds of teenage girls in miniskirts kicking their legs? It's not like the people demanding all the funding for the cheerleaders are just a bunch of perverted old men who like looking up the skirts of underage girls, nosiree! I'm sure they only go to Jitty Joe's for the ice cream, too.

Meanwhile at 'Da U, they have replaced all of the bench seats in the second floor cafeteria of the Guster center with new ones.

Approximately one month before said cafeteria closes.

For good.

As in, "the building is being demolished."

As if it wasn't bad enough that they had just spent a small fortune renovating said building two years ago.

(Maybe they're just upset that I found Yuki?)
