tFS Debris - 11.26.06
November 24th, 2006 by AlexIt might be a holiday week, but there’s still a lot going on all around us. As always, our Friday debris is a way of showing off those choice morsels we feel make the cut. So, click around, I’m sure you’ll find something interesting.
The Video
Banksy In Disneyland: Not everyone thinks Disneyland is the happiest place on earth, especially our friend Banksy. Tim & I got to see an extended version of this video at his show in Los Angeles and it definitely makes a point.
Zen Garden: This Japanese style mansion, off the coast of Cape Cod, doesn’t exactly fit in with the neighborhood. Still, it was made without a single nail and sits on a cool 7 acres of gorgeous land. I’ll take two. [via Luxist]

Sandwich Shop Slangs Marijuana
November 11th, 2006 by Alex
Trying to hide illegal activities from police in a sandwich shop is like trying to avoid fat people at Jennie Craig - it’s just not going to work. Three people in Wyncote, Philadelphia found this out the hard way.
The Wyncote Mini Deli had been serving up a little something extra with their subs & sodas. For the low price of $25, you could add a weed sack as a side order. All it took was knowing the secret code - buying a child-sized container of Hug Juice and adding the extra cash to your payment, both at the same time.
Well, someone’s always got to ruin a good thing, so an anonymous tip was dropped to the police. During their investigation, they tested the code “time and time again”. Hmmm. I’m sure that had nothing to do with free, case related sandwiches. Nooothing at all.
The investivation, led by Captain Chris Werner, resulted in the searching of the Philly sub shop and 2 other residences. They found 4 loaded guns, $15,000 in cash and 22 lbs. of marijuana worth a street value of around $185,000.
Obviously, not your average sized bust for a small city just North of Philadelphia.
