My morning commute was pretty hectic today. Sullivan station was flooded with cops, emergency vehicles, news vans and confused bus drivers. No one really knew what was going on. Was it a bomb? Were there hostages in the station? Why couldn't we stand at our usual bus stops?
Later on, we found out what had happened. The Globe reported "Sullivan Square Object Neutralized!" I know that I shouldn't laugh, but I snorted a little when I pictured the bomb squad detonating wacky Aqua Teen paraphernelia.
Man, my grandparents and other newspaper readers from a different generation will think that things have gone horribly wrong when they read the headlines tonight. Here is one journalists's (accurate) summary of the program: "The show follows the misadventures of a carton of french fries, a milkshake and a wad of hamburger meat who live together in a run-down suburban house."
(Oh - and don't tell anyone that these surprise packages went unnoticed for 2 weeks)
...Chris just sent me this link, it's got a few funny pics: http://blog.lolzllc.com/2007/01/bombs-in-boston-actually-ads-for-adult-swim. Umm. soo, these were actually not bundled up or obscured in any way? They were obviously that weird green pixel guy from Aqua Teen that has been on a couple big billboards lately? That's embarrassing :(
