To mark the 20th anniversary of Oriole Park at Camden Yards, Pabst Brewing Company is releasing commemorative National Bohemian cans.

For a limited time, your regular 16-ounce Natty Bohs will feature new packaging that has Mr. Boh swinging a bat and the Baltimore skyline in the background. His head is roughly as big as the Natty Boh logo on the can.

The cans have been released to wholesellers already and should be making their way to any bar or liquor store that already carries Boh, said a spokeswoman for Pabst. It is not clear for how long the commemorative cans, which were conceived and designed in-house in October, will run.

The promotion solidifies a link between Boh and the Orioles that was revived last year, when the beer was re-introduced to the ballpark for the first time since 1992.

BML Note: The National Bohemian Facebook page is calling this can “The Camden Pounder.” (WTF?)

“So I made some stickers. If you don’t know, they’re a drawing I did of the Baltimore Orioles “Cartoon Bird” logo. There around 5”x5” but its really hard to tell because of their obscure shape. I think they’re cool. If you do too and want one, you can buy one for $3. All proceeds go to me….because I paid for em. Just email me. (Bkzager@gmail.com). But if you don’t like them, the Orioles, Baltimore, or me, then take a hike. What were you doing here anyway?”

Meet Ellwood “Bunky” Bartlett. He’s a practicing Wiccan, a retired accountant, and the winner of Maryland’s Mega Millions jackpot, which netted him $42 million back in 2007.

He also wants your money to help make a game. Using crowdfunding site Kickstarter, Bartlett is asking for $1.1 million to create Your World, a massively multiplayer online game “built by gamers for gamers funded by gamers.”

Described as “all of the good things in Second Life, World of Warcraft, Rift, Star Wars: The Old Republic and the like all rolled up into one game,” Bartlett’s Kickstarter project has been the object of much derision on Twitter today, where some have mocked its lofty goals and error-riddled language. There’s no concept art or even much explanation as to how the game will run. It only promises to be “nothing like what is out there.”

But if Bartlett is a millionaire, why does he need Kickstarter?
