The Concert T Standard

I'm a big fan of concert merch. Going to a show always includes checking out what they're selling. In particular, I like to look for the unique swag that you don't see at every show, such as the USB keys that the White Stripes sold on their Icky Thump tour or the tea towels for sale on Nick Cave's last tour. Pearl Jam have been on tour since August and have made the coolest concert Ts I've ever seen. Each city on the tour got its own custom T-shirt with a logo taken from a local sports team.

So Goddam Weird

This is one of the creepiest things I've ever read. A student at a community college in Illinois was recently busted for sneaking into female dorms at night and... rubbing their legs as they slept.

What a deviant.

My immediate thought was that this guy is the most half-assed rapist ever, but now I'm wondering if maybe he thought he couldn't be charged with rape under the justification that it's not an inherent sexual act to touch someone's leg. If I'm right and that was his plan, then as much as I disapprove of his actions, he deserves credit for a plan well-executed... he was only charged with criminal trespass.


At least he was a leg man. It definitely could've been worse.
