So I am riding my bike to class (similar in style as Steve Carrel in the 40 Year Old Virgin), when all of a sudden some familiar words appear on the path below my tires. Apparently there are some /b/tards or Anons living on campus with me. Well, with 17,000 kids and an excellent nerd-packed College of Engineering I guess I would be stupid to think that there isn’t at least one out there.

First some background information. Every so often an activist group takes chalk and writes a bunch of crap all over the paths and sidewalks. Usually it is “creative” and “clever” and certainly not phrases taken from 12 year old internet trolls, such as “Drop Bush, Not Bombs.” Well recently this has picked up quite substantially, possibly due to the warmer weather. Sayings both for and against abortion, against the war (hell, nobody seems to be for it anymore), and inspiring sayings about how good education is for you (has the University’s executive board stooped to this level too?) have cropped up all over campus, as well as a funny retorts to the sayings. One of my particular favorites said “Anyone can be a victim of rape.” Well I know a couple of people that pray for that, because that is the only sex they will ever get! Anyways, back on topic, even announcements for activities are written on the sidewalk! So the writing is getting pretty old. Until today.

I was reading the writing today because it was rather larger and more pronounced than most of the writings, and after realizing what it was, I almost doubled over my handlebars in laughter. It was a Rick Roll! On the sidewalk! Don’t believe me? I took a handful of pictures. I turned up the contrast and downed the brightness so you can actually see the chalk.

I got off my bike to read it all. Another biker was looking at the writing as he was riding by, but drifted off the path and hit the rock on the top left of this picture.




Apparently these nerds didn’t pass calculus though. This was attached to the end of the exclamation points.

Just in case you can’t see it from above:

I think this is what they meant, which would be a reference to a Maddox article (this one in particular).

As I was taking these pictures everybody that was walking by was reading it. Many where asking “Where is this from?” A few were trying hard to not giggle like little school girls (heh, most of them were school girls). Older people that were passing by had a look that said “Why the hell are these lyrics written here?” Great reactions! Well done to whoever did this! I would like to shake your hand.

Additionally, here is a video I took as I walked down the path with my camera: View the Video! (had to put it on YouTube for bandwidth reasons).
