Bridge to Heaven
I heard that Japanese tourists visit Enger Park to view the “Bridge to Heaven,” as Park Point resembles a famous pine-tree covered sand bar in Japan. Both are viewed upside down, by bending over and looking between your legs. Here

Hearing voices in the parking ramp
I’ve had the occasion to park in the Tech Village ramp a few times in the past week, and while I was able to exit promptly each time (unlike others’ experiences), I did notice something odd about the machine that takes validated tickets as you drive out.
From the Photo Archive: One Man Gang wrestling in Duluth on Oct. 8, 1987
This photo by Barrett Chase is from a World Wrestling Federation card at the Duluth Arena. The badass in the foreground is George Gray, wrestling that night as the One Man Gang. In the match he defeated Koko B. Ware via count-out.
The show is clearly being stolen here by the guy in the Pabst hat and the middle-finger sign in the background. And that’s what makes professional wrestling so special.
More Duluth wrestling photos can be seen in the post: “Duluth Arena Pro Wrestling Photos from the 1980s – Killer Khan and so on.”
Below is a shot of the One Man Gang as he enters the ring. Later in his career, by the way, Gray changed his gimmick and became Akeem the African Dream.

Does anyone feel like throwing snowballs around 1 at Lake and Superior today? Just don’t bring any guns.
Hell yeah
I was just wasting time following a twitter link to the Walker Art Center site, and saw this. Holy poop, my seagull is right there on the Walker site IN FRONT OF Joel and Ethan Cohen.
Take that you famous Hollywood / Minnesota guys.

What’s wrong with this picture?
I took this picture at about noon yesterday … What’s wrong with this picture? I noticed about 5 things right away, maybe there are more.

Redneck Sighting in Canal Park
My wife got this in a mass forwarded email today. I’m still trying to figure out who took the picture, someone at SMDC was the first to forward it as far as I can tell. Anyone who knows anything else please post it here or contact me so I can credit the intrepid photographer. I’d really love to congratulate the intrepid ATV-or-bust-redneck who managed to strap the vehicle to his car car, (and yes, I know it was a he) but that might be asking too much. I think this image has got some real PDD banner potential.

SNL Skit: Duluth Live! from 2006
I had been trying to find this clip for ages, turns out it was right under my nose at funnyordie.com. I’m not sure if this has posted before, but I’d thought I’d share it anyways. Enjoy.
UPDATE: Sadly, there is no longer an embeddable version of the video online, but it is available on nbc.com.

No Can Haz Drunken La-z-boy
Only a few hours left in the infamous motorized La-z-boy auction, and it’s nowhere to be found on ebay! Anyone know what happened to it?
Oh well. If I can’t have an infamous motorized La-z-boy, I can at least bid on this.

Here it is, kids. That motorized La-Z-Boy involved in the DWI scandal is up for auction on eBay.
Bid, and bid well. If you win, please come back here with your story.
Relax, kick back, and get a DWI
Okay, this one’s bound to go viral.
“According to the criminal complaint, Anderson drove his motorized chair into a vehicle parked near a Proctor bar. Anderson told police he was traveling from the Keyboard Lounge after consuming approximately eight or nine beers. His blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.29 percent, more than three times the legal limit to drive.”
…
“Anderson had to forfeit his motorized chair to Proctor police, who plan to auction it with other forfeited items, Foucault said.”
