ALAS, Cpt. Joy, who submitted this incredible image of anti-joy, but...

WE CANNOT ATTEND THE SHANTY SINGING CONTEST in Oakland after the reading tonight.

IT IS TOO FAR AWAY, I fear, from our home location of

CODY'S (not in Berkeley, but in San Francisco)

TONIGHT at 7pm

ALAS! ALAS! For as you know, I love a shanty.

BUT IT CANNOT BE HELPED.

That is all.

now what i was going for was an adapted version of the teardrop tattoo that you get in prison if you kill a man (e.g. http://www.inkedblog.com/archives/2005/09/break_the_tatto.html). i have since learned that the iconography of the teardrop tattoo is um NOT common knowledge.

I've posted video of the first part, for those that wish to relive the magic or e-mail to your faux-bo friends:

Thank you, John Hodgman and Jonathan Coulton.
