SpongeBob Down

I love this picture from yesterday's edition of the L.A. Times SO MUCH.

If you're interested in the story behind the photo... it's after the jump.

From the Los Angeles Times:

A man dressed as SpongeBob SquarePants was detained by police outside Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood, officials said Wednesday.

The man was questioned but not arrested Tuesday in what a Los Angeles Police Department official described as a "brief incident with two females." No other details were available.

That sounds sexy.

I always knew SpongeBob was the "quicker-picker-upper"

For some reason the women weren't persuaded by his entreaties to "Use the sponge! USE THE SPONGE!"

BTW, Steve, I'm trying to get Sam Neill and Sam Shepard to drop by the Mercury offices later today. I do what I can for you guys.

It's a sad story. He was visiting Hollywood, just absorbing the scenery. He tries to pick up a couple of girls and discovers he isn't sponge-worthy.

It looks like he got better. I always thought this would happen in the Castro.

Every incident I've had with two females has been brief.
