I clicked on every link and still have no idea what's going on here.

xorry, I don't get this.
The first link is cute, but it's also the second link and later MLK Jr. is forced to channel Kanye West and then it's on to Winston Churchill and the kind of humor only obviously fake moustaches can provide, which is not the best sort of humor, really, don't you think? posted by longsleeves at 11:07 PM on February 21, 2009

I don't see what's so mysterious about it. Some small town city council had a crappy little 20 foot strip of land flanked by a highway and some nasty looking drainage creek that they otherwise couldn't use for anything, and somebody had the bright idea that if they stuck a park bench and a plaque there they could call it a park. That these young kids decided to call them on their bullshit in such a hilarious manner is all the better. posted by Rhomboid at 1:09 AM on February 22, 2009 [1 favorite]
And let me also add that as a kid growing up in North Carolina, making fun of the strange and arbitrary (and sometimes inappropriate) nature of the local historical landmarks/plaques (e.g.) was a common thing. posted by Rhomboid at 1:19 AM on February 22, 2009 [1 favorite]
I thought it was all great, from the well-scrubbed, Sesame Street-style singing students, to the Kanye-channeling Martin.
Like Kraftmatic Adjustable Cheese though, I was expecting a park where a Cat could Walk on the Wild Side. Someone needs to name a park after the maestro of the Hammond Organ. posted by PeterMcDermott at 2:12 AM on February 22, 2009
That's pretty awesome petermcdermott. Hell, someone should just go around dropping off weather resistant hammonds at random parks. Instant rockout! posted by xorry at 7:47 AM on February 22, 2009

¡°Why?¡± asked Larry, in his practical way. "Sergeant," admonished the Lieutenant, "you mustn't use such language to your men." "Yes," accorded Shorty; "we'll git some rations from camp by this evenin'. Cap will look out for that. Meanwhile, I'll take out two or three o' the boys on a scout into the country, to see if we can't pick up something to eat." Marvor, however, didn't seem satisfied. "The masters always speak truth," he said. "Is this what you tell me?" MRS. B.: Why are they let, then? My song is short. I am near the dead. So Albert's letter remained unanswered¡ªCaro felt that Reuben was unjust. She had grown very critical of him lately, and a smarting dislike coloured her [Pg 337]judgments. After all, it was he who had driven everybody to whatever it was that had disgraced him. He was to blame for Robert's theft, for Albert's treachery, for Richard's base dependence on the Bardons, for George's death, for Benjamin's disappearance, for Tilly's marriage, for Rose's elopement¡ªit was a heavy load, but Caro put the whole of it on Reuben's shoulders, and added, moreover, the tragedy of her own warped life. He was a tyrant, who sucked his children's blood, and cursed them when they succeeded in breaking free. "Tell my lord," said Calverley, "I will attend him instantly." HoME²Ô¾®¿Õ·¬ºÅѸÀ×Á´½Ó
