Remember, Remember, The 31st of… January: Mooninite Scare 2007
I don’t know about everyone else, but I fondly remember the Boston Mooninite Scare of 2007, when police offers in Boston, Massachusetts confused LED powered advertisements for the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movi, to be “improvised explosive devices.” Ah, the hilarity.

WANT: Full Size Energy Sword from Halo
No… words… should have sent… a poet.
