Student pranks, you've got to love them. Just kids having a laugh before they enter the world of responsibility. It's just harmless fun, right? Not according to these North Carolina cops it isn't. It's a heinous crime tantamount to vandalism. This young guy stole some orange and white traffic barrels and created an awesome looking roadside monster thumbing a ride.

And it is awesome, even the construction company whose barrels he stole think it is and want him to recreate it. He's become something of a local celebrity, so who's the criminal now, huh? The man is an artist reduced to the status of a bum!

It just goes to show that sometimes the police misjudge things, what they see as vandalism others see as something creative, something fun that livens up the dull monotony of our repetitive, concrete world. So lighten up Mr Poe-leece!

Be careful out there, if you're noming down on a bit of raw eggplant for lunch while sitting in the local park, taking in the last of the autumn sun, wondering why you didn't at least grill the damn thing, then be mindful. While the crisp radiant sun, the clean air, the hum of lazy autumn activity, along with the golden hues of the slowing-down earth make eating unprepared eggplant palatable, that vegetable is out of season.

Which means that if this man and his mission find you, your perishables could perish. This deadly marksman's set his sights on rooting out all unseasonal veg. If you're eating greens that are out of season, this assassin will exterminate them with extreme prejudice, and little conscience.

Next time you're eating marrow for dinner, make sure it's between the months of August and October, or consider yourself responsible for its untimely death from his eco-friendly firearm.
