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…
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 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.
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.
This is the first installment of our visual Penn survival guide, a collaboration between UTB and David Comberg’s Information Design class (FNAR 337). Each graphic in the series depicts a different element of survival of the Penn-est. Click on the thumbnail to see the full image.

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