  • I loved the blurb about the 3D Porn.  I watched it, however, without the glasses and I'm afraid there was no increase in my dimension as a result.  (xmile)

  • @curiousdwk - 

    I fear how they will use the 3D with the climax of scenes.

  • A few things: I forgot to leave you this link yesterday, but here's another funny one.

    As far as Google maps goes, have you seen this one? Google this address: 8 Sampsonia Way, Pittsburgh, Allegheny, Pennsylvania 15212. Turn to the left and zoom in a little. Man, I love Google maps.

    Some of those signs are pretty amazing. I sure wish my hometown offered the convenience of getting my flu shot and my botox done in the same place. Too mad Northern WI doesn't offer such amenities.

    =]

  • Whoops: too bad. Not mad.

  • The bad signs one was pretty... blah.  Most of 'em were just people who don't know how to spell or use commas or apostrophes.  I did like the sign outside the arboretum with the list of things you couldn't do, but done in little "no" signs instead of words.  There were about 3 on there that I had no idea what they meant!  But the one that said KIDS BOOKS & PUPPETS... I sat there for a while trying to figure out what was even wrong with it.  They forgot an apostrophe, but the person who took the picture was joking that it meant KIDS, BOOKS, & PUPPETS (despite the lack of commas).  I thought the reason for taking the picture was even more dumb than the mistake on the sign.

    I read about the people who changed the construction signs yesterday.  The thing I found most interesting is that if they're convicted in Illinois, their fine is up to $250, I think... but if they're conviction in Indiana, they could spend up to a year in jail and something like $5000 in fines.  I have been consistently looking ahead for zombies, though :)

  • @musicofthemoment - 

    That was pretty funny with the Google Maps. I wish they did those street things around here because I would do goofy stuff like that.

    Oh yeah there are awesome stores that have the strangest combinations. I was visiting a friend in Hortonville, WI(near Appleton) and he lived by the greatest store ever. I can't remember the name but it was a bait shop and beauty parlor and also sold welding supplies. That is better than Walmart.

  • @ithiliya - 

    Yeah not all those signs were winners. I actually am such an English prude that I look for improper English on signs. Sorry to let you down. Looks like it is hari-kari for me.

    Wow, they are pretty strict about their signs in Indiana. They must not want the residents to get too confused or worried about zombie attacks. My grandma always talked about the War of the Worlds broadcast and how people were driving around in pick up trucks with their guns on the look out for aliens. I don't know what the penalty is in Wisconsin for tampering with construction signs. I may or may not have one of those blinking signs. We were drinking in Milwaukee and there was a sign near my car and a guy who was with use went up and took the light off the sign. He brought in the car and it kept blinking the whole way home. After a while it died. Oh and I had a friend in high school whose father was a county commissioner in charge of road signs. Because stop signs were regularly stolen he kept a stack of stop signs in his garage that stood about 6 ft high. He gave me a few when I was talking about decorating my dorm room.

  • @godfatherofgreenbay - I stole a no left turn sign when I lived in Green Bay.  I put it in my apartment as a joke for a few days, because if you walked in and turned left you'd smack your forehead into a wall :)   Then the joke got old, and I got rid of it... don't remember how.

    Apparently there is nothing better to do in Wisconsin than steal signs.  I still want that Bong Recreation one, though...

    That whole War of the Worlds broadcast thing is so weird, looking at it from a  modern perspective.  We're just too trained to assume everything even a little out of the ordinary is fake, I guess.  Could you imagine if someone tried to pull that today?  We're just too connected.  I mean, even if they somehow got, like, every top anchor and reporter in on the joke/story, and had them report it as if it were actually happening, everyone would just jump online where there'd be hundreds of reports within moments showing that it's fake *LOL*  It's be fun to try, though.  Even if we didn't have internet access, we'd probably only think twice about it if someone like the President got on the TV and said it was real :)

  • T. Hanks has quite a cool name, I hadn't recognized that before. :)

    The free killers is no comfortable thought...

  • @nattata - 

    I saw that at a sub place once before and I found out that most every one of the restaurants in that chain do that with their garbage bins.

  • haha this is a mouthful but pretty cool

  • @smile_dolphin_gal - 

    That's pretty good...thanks!
