They’re covering over the Diag.


Michigan Stadium is under reno, so commencement takes place on the Diag at the end of next week.  They’re installing bleachers, video screens, and sound systems, and they’re covering the grass over with these tiles.

A fellow M-Library staffer, John Weise, has been documenting
the action, including the moving of a hill to north campus.

Good luck, Class of 2008 — I bet you’re gonna wish you’d just had it at Rynearson, a perfectly modern stadium with miles of convenient parking.
  Or your parents are.

Totalli Knorrli Dude

Some companies design their mascots from the get-go to look like a man in a suit. When I was a kid, the Putt-Putt mascot “Buster Ball” was a particularly solid example of this, with arms too short to hold a putter. As Happy Gilmore might suggest, he was too good for his home.

Knorrli, pictured here, is the spokessprite for Knorr soup in Europe. Seems harmless enough, doesn’t he? Imagine running into him in your favorite supermarket.

Heaven help you Switzerlanders if The Laughing Cow ever decides to do a victory lap.

Cheer Up, VIacom.

It’s kind of like Viacom is her next-door neighbor who yelled at her to turn down her stereo.
