The Cartoon Network Promotion That Cost a Few Million Dollars To Boston....

Who planted those "Lite Brite" boxes around Boston that made everyone run for the hills? You tell me...To the left is Alternative/Metal rocker Rob Zombie. To the right is one of the guys who put these things up depicting cartoons giving the finger. Is it me, or is this the same person?

"The Squealing Pig" has not forgotten about Black History month in February

The origin of the "thief" or "bandit" dates back to way before Jesus Christ walked the soil! As the beginning of another Black History Month readies to enter another month of it's annual observance, so little is known about some of the people that really changed the landscape in the United States if you like it or not. Today, we salute the 1st in a series presented to you periodically over the next several weeks. As it was in the beginning of the 20th Century, you could pack up the family in your Buick and drive from New York to Los Angeles for a two week vacation and all the while leave your windows open and doors unlocked. History was made when a young boy riding his bicycle through the streets of Greenville, SC noticed the wind had blown open the front door of the Millford house. The young man ditched his bike and went to the front door to peek inside. After saying "Hello" a few times, he opened the screen door and tiptoed his way through the empty house. Maurice Lackey had the balls of eight Roman soldiers! After phoning his Father to explain what was going on at that house, Dad was quick to pull the tablecloth off the dinner table and hop on his bike where Maurice already had the majority of China and Silverware stashed away in another tablecloth. In the next few hours Dad and Maurice had made several trips each way. The Millford's new television of two weeks got swooped up quicker than a buzzard on a dead possum.

When the Millfords finally got home from their trip, astonished, there was nothing to be done. No clues...nothing. Everything was gone including the clothes in the closets, jewelry, and even Mrs. Millford's girdles. Sadly, after a botched job in the early 1970's, Lackey was sent to prison for a 120 year sentence with no parole. In the fall of 2001, when asked about being the first black man to steal from the white man, he laughed and pulled out a key. "What's that for?" a reporter asked. Smiling, Maurice said "The extra key to the Millford's Buick. Go get it and take it cause I'M THE SHIT" One month later he would be found stabbed to death by his cellmate.

Maurice Lackey...we salute you for your bravery in stealing from the white man and when getting caught saying you were caught just because you're black.
