The barcrawlers are often identified by a common T-shirt, which often has the bar names and times in case crawlers forget. Appears to have been popularized on the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign campus, due to the close proximity of bars and the bar entry age of 19. <br/>[via <a title="Barcrawl" target="_blank" href="http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=barcrawl">Urban Dictionary</a>]</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/745616139http://thedaywaster.com/post/745616139Mon, 28 Jun 2010 08:19:00 -0500john wilkes boothbarcrawlchampaign<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/yPB73RHWcmM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/yPB73RHWcmM&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>My company is very safety conscious…. almost to a fault </p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/729356310http://thedaywaster.com/post/729356310Wed, 23 Jun 2010 13:05:25 -0500wtfescalatorssafety<img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l3nyqdUEwC1qzso39o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>It was that kind of weekend</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/674287353http://thedaywaster.com/post/674287353Mon, 07 Jun 2010 16:37:25 -0500hangoverblu blockersbabymau<img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l31gtlgzzb1qzso39o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>A building filled with engineers and this is the solution we came up with to  deal with the heat in the second floor offices</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/635007108http://thedaywaster.com/post/635007108Wed, 26 May 2010 13:03:21 -0500engineeringheat<p>There’s a group out there that’s collecting hair and nylons to create cheap oil booms that can be used in the Gulf oil spill.</p> <p>You can check out their site <a title="Help with the gulf oil spill" target="_blank" href="http://www.matteroftrust.org/index.html">here</a>.</p> <p>The premise is basically this: stuff a bunch of dog hair into a nylon, tie it off, and boom!  You’ve got yourself a boom…. to soak up oil.</p> <p>So where am I going with this? </p> <p>Well look what I made like two years ago:</p> <p><img alt="No puppies for oil!" src="http://fc02.deviantart.net/fs38/i/2008/330/f/a/Reassignment_No_5_by_harshilpatel.jpg" width="400"/></p> <p>No puppies for oil!</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/576812431http://thedaywaster.com/post/576812431Thu, 06 May 2010 14:49:00 -0500Gulfoilspillartpuppy<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l1yi8dRhuj1qzso39o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Wandering around the UIUC campus looking for a big, empty wall in need of some wheatpasting</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/573883950http://thedaywaster.com/post/573883950Wed, 05 May 2010 12:07:25 -0500UIUC<object width="400" height="336"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/cdaAWFoWr2c&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/cdaAWFoWr2c&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="336" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Good god, I can’t believe I didn’t know about this until today.</p>http://thedaywaster.com/post/544263550http://thedaywaster.com/post/544263550Fri, 23 Apr 2010 19:42:19 -0500insaneR.
