Bob Saget Invades New York

Last week we took our friends' westie over to a dog run near Peter Detmold Park in Turtle Bay. Crossing the bridge over the FDR, we noticed a dumpster below us with a GIANT CARTOON BOB SAGET plastered on top. It confused the shit out of me.

Today, I saw my second Saget (on 14th & 3rd) on a box of real estate circulars.

 

Who's placing these eerie smiling Sagets all over the city?

  • Is Neck Face responsible?
  • Are they some kind of terrorist warning?
  • Do they have anything at all to do with Mary-Kate?

    I want answers!

    Maybe he is coming back to take over America's Funiest Home Videos. No one likes the other guy anyway.

    These have been all over Boston newspaper boxes since last year. Bob Saget should never be forgotten...... or his sweater vests.

    huh. last night on scrubs - there was a bob saget reference. maybe its zach braff getting under our skin so we go and watch garden state.

    or maybe its a reminder that mary-kate and ashley are moving to NYC??

    Or maybe its a comment on teh impact of reality television on our culture - i mean, he was the host of one of the first like, reality shows, in a way?

    this doesn't look like the work of neckface.

    okay i will stop now.

    "I sucked dick for coke. THAT's addiction."

    My bob saget story:
    i was somewhere downtown in NYC and saw a huge poster of bob saget at a comedy club. I got really excited (naturallY) and started yelling, "do you mean that bob saget is in THIS BUILDING RIGHT NOW??" Then the security guard came up to us and said, "i'm sorry girls, bob saget won't be here until the end of september."
    it was the most embarrassing experience of my life.

    # Is Neck Face responsible?

    Nope, neckface doesn't have anything to do with it... never met the guy.

    # Are they some kind of terrorist warning?

    Ha, Saget a terrorist? That would be the day.

    # Do they have anything at all to do with Mary-Kate?

    You know, maybe me and my posse will do that next. Don't think so... I think I'll keep the Saget alive.

    By the way, we're known as BSR. Stands for "Bob Saget Revolution".

    If you want to know the story behind why we all did this and where it all came from... feel free to e-mail me. :)

    I want answers!
