ULP!

Quick, go to Google Maps and find driving directions to the MapQuest Pranksters.

GPS is great!. Just like having a second mother-in law.

Have you heard? There’s a Spongebob Squarepants GPS out now! Look it up.

can’t get your internet to work? ask google maps to give them your isp router address & wifi info!

I don’t like mapquest ever since their directions told me to drive down a highway the locals told me had been closed off years earlier. I guess they don’t update those things very often. Google maps is pretty good, and of course I have GPS now.

As Stephanie Tanner on Full House would say, “How rude!”

it took mapquest 10 years to change a local tollway to an interstate expressway – after i phoned ‘em, too. dozens of MAD tourists on I-264 trying to locate a non-existent route 44. heh.

I remember an Episode of the Robocop television series http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0687768/ where Alex Murphy used just this technique to capture the villains. this was in 1994, before GPS units became popular

Is that a porcupine stuffed into the trash can at lower left, or is it on really poorly drawn fire?

Neither, It’s a wig being thrown out.

Looks like last night’s dinner.

Looks like the driver is about to draw fire.
