Not sure if this is still there, but last year I passed an abandoned gas station somewhere on La Cienega and saw this street art:
Which of course is a pegasus skeleton, and perhaps a takeoff/commentary of the Mobil logo:
Here's somebody else's photo of another example:
Turns out the artist is named Skullphone. Good stuff!
Thanks to BJ Killeen for the photo: Here's something GM posted on their Facebook page. Other than that we have no details. Maybe they can get Jeff Kent to wash it?
Hey, a new iPad billboard. Guess this one's for the Mini. Does this mean we shouldn't buy the big one? Anyhoo, looks like the woman who owns the biggie sent the Mini owner her vacation picture. Sunglasses underwater, cute. And he's sending her picture back to her, waste of bandwidth — wait, he also set her picture as his wallpaper? That's...kind of creepy. Is Apple marketing to stalkers now? Oh wait, those are a woman's hands. Does that make the wallpaper any less creepy? A little, I suppose. But still, who puts a non-family member as their — whoops, light's green!
Seen on the 405: a Camry sporting a license plate with "I M N00B". Hilarious.
I'm level 63 on CoD:MW2, and closing in on level 70...
The scene at Dodger Stadium earlier today. Sorry we missed you, Josh!
On a sadder note: Murió el padre de Rafael Furcal (ESPNdeportes.com; thanks to Karina for the translation)
Silvino Furcal, father of baseball player Rafael Furcal, passed away on early Sunday morning at a hospital in Dominican Republic where he was interned for three weeks after he was received a horse's kick on his thorax.A family member informed ESPNdeportes.com that the patriarch of the Furcal family passed away around 2 am (ET). The funeral will be held between Sunday and Monday at Loma de Cabrera, in the north frontier of Dominican Republic and Haiti, where most of the family live.
The father of Los Angeles Dodgers second baseman had to undergo surgery for the great damage in the internal organs and fractures caused by the kick of a horse he tried to saddle in the family's ranch.
Silvino Furcal was interned at a hospital in Valverde Mao, a near city from Loma de Cabrera. Rafael Furcal proposed to move him to Los Angeles, but the idea was discarded for the patient.
The Dodgers placed Furcal on an special inactive list on Thursday before the last game of a series in Cincinnati. Right now it's inaccurate to determine how much time the player will spend in the Dominican Republic before he joins the team.
On Tuesday, they start a series against their neighbor rivals, the Anaheim Angels. [note from Karina: quoting here, no kidding]
Furcal, who is hitting .305 with nine stolen bases and 28 runs this season, was at his better offensive moment of the year before he traveled to Dominican Republic. The second baseman had five hits on Tuesday and was batting 26-9 (.349) in his last five games.
Our condolences to Rafael Furcal and his family.
Seen in Beverly Hills last weekend:
Because nothing says Texas like a two-tone Passat. This is obviously a custom job, but could this be the future of niche car sales? After all, you can already seed your lawn with Fenway Park grass. Would you pay extra for a car with an official Dodger Blue paint job? That is, if you could figure out exactly what Dodger Blue is.
Thanks to SoSG reader Sara, who spotted this gem in the City of Industry:
Reminds me of a sight from last year's NLDS:
...I must have seen you on the morning commute.
There were seriously no other cars on the road. Is there an apocalypse about which I have not yet heard?
We'll see you your "I *heart* Dice K" license plate, and counter with this:
From Carlos (W.D.D.I.M):
My friend was getting off the 10 freeway in L.A. when she saw this. She of course is a big "Russell Martin fan" so she had to take a picture...I wonder how many more Dodger plates are around...
Perhaps the driver is a big Russell Martin fan. Or maybe he or she is just a cognac drinker? (Those dancing grapes are making me dizzy.)
Cut-rate import vehicle + adhesive plastic letters = rock the house. Although the owner must have meant SUZUKI SWIFT. Or did he have another product in mind?
