It's remarkable in how unremarkable it is to most of the thousands of people that pass it by at Coney Island. You can view a short video of the waterboard thrill ride here.

#7 - Yeah, but just about every fair, carnival and boardwalk uses phony versions of famous cartoon characters on games and rides (not to mention the bootleg prizes you win) and it never seems to be noticed.

Freedom of speech in action! And an excellent defense from Powers. Now the real question is: will Obama rescue this nation from the Iran/China flavor pit that Dubya put us in?

Doesn't sound as interesting as his original proposal to use 50 lawyers. This seems kinda lame. Go back to writing ESPO.

Sounds really cool. However, who wants to guess that SpongeBob and Squidworth get removed from the exhibit due to copyright violations by tomorrow?

That seems like a wickedly insightful piece. (Did I just say 'wickedly insightful?!?!)

That's really neat... part social commentary, part coney island oddity.

Wow, I hope wonder if any kids will try to convince their parents to take them to this one.

ESPO has always been spot on with his art. By far the coolest guy you'll ever meet.
