Apparently the Beaker in D.C. meme is spreading. Okay, College Park isn’t in D.C., but it is inside the Beltway, so it gets a pass. And, you know, because Jim Henson went to UMD (they even have a statue of him – tuition dollars well spent!).
Above is the image Punté used yesterday for Beaker’s Super Bowl prediction. Of course, blog commenters being what they are — that is, people who tend to ignore the forest to look at the trees (and leaves, and individual pieces of bark, and chloroplasts) — they instantly ignored the obvious bandwagon imagery and instead asked why Beaker was riding a D.C. Metro bus.
Anyway, from Maj’s annoying homerism for our nation’s capital (and Punte’s annoyance with it) was born a new meme: Beaker in D.C.
