Something From the Archives

So I found this while I was pulling the site out of the mothballs yesterday and its so good I think I'll post it again. So welcome to the first episode of a new series
Nittanyproudfoot Classics!

Ok honestly I just figured this would be a good way to keep the site fresh without having to constantly write new posts. But really this is pretty good stuff. It was originally posted in the Fall of 2005


Now is about the time you should start doing the time travel hand thing from Wayne's World

A Steel City Exorcism


So apparently the tourism industry of Thailand is having a difficult time rebuilding after last Decembers tsunami. The reason? according to Suwalai Pinpradab of the Tourism Authority of Thailand many Asia beach goers refuse to return to Asia's southern beaches because they believe them to be haunted by the spirits of tsunami victims.

Well if you were dead were would you rather be? Taken the long dirt nap in Akron Ohio or spending eternity lounging in the warm sand of the South Pacific? Unfortunately bringing in paying customers takes priority over the comfort of freeloading poltergeists so the Tourism Authority of Thailand is doing what any reasonable 21st century government would do.

A statue of Godmother Ruby (aka Mazu in Chinese) will be taking up residence on the Thai island of Phuket. Ruby's job? Ghost eviction of course. Sorry Casper, it really sucks you were crushed by a monstrous wave and all but I really wanna do some boogie-boarding and your creeping me out.

So this got me thinking. Maybe when the Thai Government is all done playen Ghostbusters in Paradise they can ship good old Godmother Ruby to Pittsburgh's North Shore because according to Ween, Tommy Maddox has been dead for quite a while now and yet he continues to show up week after week at Heinz Field. There's only room for one evil spirit in "The Coca-Cola Great Hall" and Rod Woodson has seniority.
