Happy Memorial Day kids!  I happened upon this painstaking and very patriotic display yesterday over by North Shore Park and figured it would make as fitting a tribute as any to all the things that bear memorializing on this day of memorializing the memorialworthy.  This was curated by a very tan gentleman in a speedo, who, when the smoke from his cigarette curled in just the right way, bore a remarkable resemblance to Hunter S. Thompson.

Oh right, and in case you’re not catching all the details, that is indeed a scale model of the twin towers, which means, holy fuck, those flags are huge!

Also, I’d like to remind all of you that apparently we’re in imminent danger of some sort of alien assault.  However, while I can’t be certain of this, it appears we’ve got the creature from the black lagoon on our side.  Whew!
