Signs, Signs ... Everywhere There's Signs - Part 2

Continuing yesterday's post about silly signs ...

Maybe they are talking about M. Night Shyamalan's movie?

---

Frighteningly, this odd sign combo almost has relevance with today's violence among school kids. But, more likely, it's because drunk hunters cannot tell a deer from a school bus.

---

Is this a real problem in whatever town this is?

You'd think that if someone actually did try it, they would stop pretty quick. Unless they were drunk hunters fresh from shooting school buses. They might need this sign.

---

Now there's a movie to take the kiddies to! Or, drunk hunters.

---

Do they rifle through the fried corpse's pockets for the fine, or is it transferred to the unlucky bastard's heirs? I suppose it might really be a clean-up fee. You know how hard it is to get fried on foods off of a cooking pan.

Best. Bathroom Sign. Ever.

Signs, Signs ... Everywhere There's Signs - Part 1

TESLA lyrics

The obscure Canadian rock group Five Man Electrical Band got it right with their song "Signs". Tesla did an awesome cover to it many years later. (Lyrics to the right).

A few weeks ago I wrote a satirical article on signs. While signs were the focus of the story, the real humor came from the vagaries of the English language written on those signs.

That got me thinking of all the crazy signs that are out there. So I hunted down a bunch that will make you scratch your head.

Gee, you think?

This is also the same place whose TV station doesn't have a weatherman. They just send the station dog outside. If he comes back wet, it's raining. If he comes back white, it's snowing. If he doesn't come back, aliens probably abducted him. Please stay inside and lock your doors.

---

If you see this sign be watchful for bicycles rolling around by themselves. There will likely be a Lycra-clad person chasing behind it. Wait at least 20 seconds before proceeding after a bicycle has gone by to allow for slower chasers.

---

I suppose this is the same reason you drive on a parkway, park on a driveway, trucks carry shipments, and boats carry cargo. And, does this make the McDonalds' employee who brings it out to you a carhop? They should make them wear roller skates when they do.

---

Leeds is a fun town. I like going to the park and watching the parents shove their kids out of the car as they speed by the playset.

---

Oooooo-kay ... right.

This sign does not exist. It is a figment of your imagination. Ignore the sign. No, wait ... don't ignore the sign. But, it's really not there. so, ignore the sign, but don't ignore it? 'k? Please?

The Hunter, the Bear, and God

The headache that was trip-hammering in my left eye yesterday has made a surprise return engagement. And, since I promised someone no flatulent humor on Sundays, here is religious joke tide you over ...

The Religious Hunter
A man was out hunting. He just happened to be hunting bears. As he trudged through the forest looking for the beasts, he came upon a large and steep hill. Thinking that perhaps there would be bear on the other side of the hill, he climbed up the steep incline and, just as he was pulling himself up over the last outcropping of rocks, a huge bear met him nose to nose.

The bear roared fiercely. The man was so scared that he lost his balance and fell down the hill with the bear not far behind. As he tumbled down the hill, the man lost his gun. When he finally stopped at the bottom, he found that he had a broken leg. Escape was impossible and so the man, who had never been particularly religious (in fact this just happened to be a Sunday morning), prayed, "God, if you will make this bear a Christian I will be happy with whatever lot you give me for the rest of my life."

The bear was no more than three feet away from the man when it stopped dead in its tracks... looked up to the heavens quizzically... and then fell to its knees and prayed in a loud voice, "O Lord, bless this food of which I am about to partake."

Unlike the bear image I posted on my Hug a Friend Day, this one was created by me using a stock photo of a bear and my limited skills in Paint Shop Pro. I wasn't going to do a new image for this post, but it actually helped me forget about the blazing supernova burning in my skull. I hope you like it. It turned out cute, I think. ^.^;;

Dash of This, Sprinkle of That

Another pointless post today.

Going out to the mall with the family for lunch in about 30 minutes. Food courts rock. Everyone can get what they want. I'm hitting Chick-Fil-A for a sandwich and Cherry Coke, then hitting Twinz for a Chicago Dog (best hotdogs around). Tyler will likley get some Chik-Fil-A with me, his brother Tim said he wanted Chinese. This boy would rather eat fruits and veges than anything else. It's a good habit, but kind of weird in a kid. My mother is getting egg drop soup at the Chinese place, and an onion and kraut dog at Twinz.

Not sure what is planned for right after. I tried to talk her into going to see a movie ... either "Ghost Rider" or "The Astronaut Farmer." We'll probably come home and watch "Flushed Away" on DVD since we've not even opened it yet, and we bought it last week.

I made a signature image for my World of Warcraft character:


I also found another optical illusion involving vehicles like the ones in my previous post:


I know the county was cutting back on it's public transportation budget, but this is ridiculous!


For those of you keeping up with the Penny Doubled Daily, we are now in the quadrillions as of six days ago. The next stage is quintillion in just a few days.

Later and Longer

Amazing what a few hours and a good meal will do for a body.

I'm feeling much better and will elaborate some on the below post.

Bruiser has won the Caption Contest with this little ditty about our potty kitty:


"And the cat's in the toilet and it's half past noon,
Big mama came and she showed me the moon,
Now I'm lyin' here tryin' to breathe again,
I'm gonna get her when I can, yeah,
I'm gonna scratch her eyes out then."

I also liked Doug's "I know I saw that mouse in here somewhere" caption, and Hawkman's "crapper napper" made me choke on my water.

And, since you three were the only readers brave enough to enter the contest, I'll do a photo caricature for each of you. If you want one done, let me know and we'll work out how to get me the pictures to work off of.

Check out the caricatures of two well-known figures I hastily did a little while to demonstrate what I am planning ...

Late and Short

Sorry for the late post, and its brevity. My day has been a rather tumultuous one with minor emergencies, not feeling well due to missed med doses (*smacks self*), and general lethargy.

Bruiser wins the Caption Contest with his hilarious parody of "Cat's in the Cradle" (or Kettle, depending on your favorite hehe).

And, seeing as how another minor emergency has arisen in the few minutes I tried to post this short message, I will see you all tomorrow (or possibly even a very late post tonight.)

Hug A Friend Day

Just a short post today to say that friends and loved ones are very precious. Take a moment to let them know you love and appreciate them, and then give 'em a big ol' bear hug!
