Making money from art is not vulgar. Art is a commodity. It makes people feel something. It raises the greater sum of human happiness. It increases the gaiety of the nation. It has a value. -John Allison

A thread title for the ages.  No sassy traffic signs in the DC area that I know of.  California can keep them.

Yeah.  Nice.

I saw signs like this in Jersey.  Man, they make me want to mow people down in spite.

The Dulles Access Road used to have a series of Burma Shave-style signs warning you to only use the road for airport business. That's the closest thing I've seen and those have been gone for years.

Yes, except the bonus joke is that reading the signs made Ray suspect he had crushed someone into a lifeless muck.

I have a thing that I like
where there is something that is really effective, and the best way to do something
but it pisses people off, morally.

such as that they have mathematically proven
that if they give alcoholic hobos free apartments, food, etc
it will save the city money, since they do not end up in the emergency room.

but liberals hate this, because why don't we give everyone a free apartment then
and conservatives hate this,
because hobos do not deserve free shit.

but it works, and a few cities are doing it.

I do not know why I was reminded of this.

Do not write your points as free form poetry. That is a thing mainly of crap dudes.

you couldn't tell, but I was using the voice poets use when they read their own work.

it makes me really glad to know that this voice exists.

85% of the reason I am not a famous poet is that I do not have a "poetry voice".

I don't have one of those DRAMATIC RISING AND FALLING AND ALMOST SINGING voices.

Bad poetry sounds awesome with one of those voices.

Great poetry sounds "eh" without one of those voices.

The other 15% is that I really only occasionally want to be a famous poet.

I don't watch zefrank. Referencing him is like referencing the Flying Spaghetti Monster in a religious argument.

What?  Yes you do.  It's because it just happened to you.  Remember, that time when you read a comic strip about gratuitous anti-speeding signs, and you said,

in that it's a bullshit way to make a point? or it's just a rude way to make fun of people's beliefs? I am not sure what the connection you are making is.

I don't really know many who watch/have mentioned Ze Frank, so maybe there is some association which I am unaware of.

alternate post:

yeah, I wasn't actually referencing him in my original post... I just did that because of poor decision making. And then the concept of talking about a normal thing as if it were poetry reminded me of Ze Frank, and i mentioned him.

(did either of those address the issue?)

So what? Is this the consensus that this is something other than California soccer mom communities do to safeguard their spawn?

And this is a great one-off, as said. Love them signs.
