Beware Of Bird

We found this flyer outside of Houston Hall’s creperie. We’re just wondering what’s really going on here. Could it be: A shoutout to the film noir classic? A longing to be on a boat (with his flippy floppies)? Or is Mordecai really missing his predatory bird? Also, we’re not sure exactly how amateur that sketch is…

Can Philly Kick It? (Yes They Can!)

Dont tread on this

Don't tread on this

Philadelphians love their sports teams. From the Philles to the Eagles to the Flyers, we’ve got a lot going for us here. Now we can add another one to the roster — that’s right, Philly’s getting a soccer team!

Of course, we already knew about this, but the big news as that we’ve finally got a name, team colors, and a logo. Here’s the rundown:

  • The team will be called the Union. They toyed with the Independence, but no dice.
  • Blue and gold will be the team colors. Apparently these are the colors of the Philadelphia flag.
  • You can see the logo over there on the right. It’s got the “Don’t Tread on Me” snake, and 13 stars for the original 13 colonies. How patriotic. And reptilian.

The team won’t start playing until 2010, but just think how much time that gives Philadelphians to complain about how they would have named it better? How about you — do you like the name? Hate it? Have any better suggestions? Share your thoughts in the comments.

Leggo My Eggo Roll

What did we see on Chancellor tonight? No, not Hoodie Allen. This totally bizarre flyer:

Have you seen an “extremely hideous” egg roll thief with “bad breath?” Yeah, we don’t get it either.

Orangefoot Clues Us In… Except Not Really

We're thankful for Google Images everyday.

So, the Orangefoot saga which we – inadvertently – began yesterday has continued. The lovely folks (or folk?) over at Orangefootproject@gmail.com sent us an email, which clears up approximately nothing:

What is orangefoot, you ask?

It is an entirely new concept for a social community. It’s neither exclusive, nor focused on only one interest. It’s a place where creativity and individuality, adventure and eccentricity are encouraged.

Orangefoot is a group for people that realize that their time at Penn should consist of more than just studying and partying. It’s for people that like to try new things; capoeira? drum circle? pranks? curling? discussions about silly putty? laser tag? Southern African Cuisine? No limits exist at orangefoot.

Your orangefoot will lead the way.

A humble request for the Orangefoot crew: please capitalize the first “O” in your name. Consider it a small favor in exchange for all of this free promotion. UTB is big on the whole grammar thing.

WTF? Vol. I

Seen on a bathroom stall:

I texted “orangefoot” to 41411 and got this response.

Any idea what the hell this is all about? Send us a tip!

Penny For Your Thoughts? Corporate Thought Bubbles Are The New Flyers

We wonder how much HBO paid for this spectacular display of Locust Walk advertising.
