Cubs on an Etch-A-Sketch
OUT OF RIGHT FIELD — If this is fake, then consider me duped. This is a ridiculous talent. When I was 10, I prefected the art of drawing boobs on an Etch-A-Sketch. I'm guessing what this guy could do would put my drawings to shame. ...

More power to them, but this is a level of creativity and organization that I can't match, but the talent and dedication is apparent. First, it was the guy who creates amazing art on an Etch-A-Sketch. Then I was shown the guy who made a portrait of Cal Ripken out of more than 10,000 thumbtacks. I guess you need to fill those long, lonely days until pitchers and catchers report.
