oh man this reminds me of that crap "boulevard of broken dreams" poster, in which james dean, humphrey bogart (!), and marilyn monroe appear in a version of hopper's "nighthawks at the diner." it never fails to show up in half-assed "50s diners" and bad college town used bookstores.

I like how Zappa's in "Heaven's House Band."

"Eat that pork
Eat that ham
Laugh till ya choke
On Billy Graham.
Moses, Aaron & Abraham...
They're all a waste of time
And it's your ass that's on the line"

― briania (briania), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:26 (twenty-one years ago)

My favorite shirts are the And 1 shirts people used to wear, with different intimidating slogans like "Get your books son, I'm takin you to school!" or whatever. It's like you would by the shirt with the intention of making it clear that whoever came in your path would get their ass kicked.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

I kinda like the one of Sid flippin' off Kurt, but I have no idea why Hendrix is there (other than that maybe it's because he's from Seattle).

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Wednesday, 30 June 2004 20:33 (twenty-one years ago)

Is Sid from there, too?

Just getting you all prepared for the inevitable:

In a powerful celebration of culture and history, the Arkansas Department of Transportation (ARDOT) and the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) proudly announce that the new iconic Interstate 55 (I-55) bridge spanning the Mississippi River between West Memphis, Arkansas, and Memphis, Tennessee, will now be known as Kings’ Crossing.
This new name, officially adopted by the Arkansas Highway Commission and the Tennessee General Assembly, honors three transformative figures known as “Kings”: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; B.B. King; and Elvis Presley.

How come AI can't do a convincing Freddie Mercury though? In fact a lot of these people look slightly like someone else, can't quite work out who it is Fred looks like.

The Freddie Mercury depiction reminds me of when you see those clickbait articles about some guy in a small town in the UK who 'looks just like Freddie Mercury', but then you open up the article and you don't see much resemblance.
