Oh, Hastur.. it's back!

Crazy Crab is back. Possibly the most hated, despised, utterly loathed sports mascot in history. Crazy Crab was the Giants' mascot for the 1984 season. Management later claimed that the Crab was meant as a sarcastic comment on the mascot craze, but no one believes them.

Now they're bring him back as part of the SF Giants 50th Anniversary Year. Jeezz.. couldn't they be kinder and bring back Atlee Hammaker to pitch a few innings?

The Crab Must Die!

I may have to get tickets to this game...

This man grasped the Tao of Teddy Bears.

This being Valentine's Day (celebrate by dying in prison while writing letters to you True Love!) I've seen dozens of road-side entrepreneurs selling flowers, bears, candy, etc., out of the backs of pick-ups and off folding tables.

But this guy in Modesto wins. He had a display that held maybe forty teddy bears. Above them, a sign read.

WE HAVE NO VALENTINES!!! PLZ HELP!!!

A few bears were on a table, one holding an honest-to-Halford cardboard sign reading "Will Hug 4 Hugz"

I nearly crashed the truck from the cute. Alas, he didn't take credit cards. I swear there were cars parked for a quarter mile down the road.
