I find someone with the name "Blow Me" offensive.
I love you guys.
Everytime I get irked about their idiocy, I remember what you do, and I feel much better knowing you anger and annoy them that much.
A day without an annoyed Medea is a day without sunshine.
Loneliness will do that to some men.

I found out the problem, they WEREN'T signs but just the slogans!!
Says Farmer Brown
Whose bald on top
Wished I could
Rotate the crop
Burma Shave
Don't leave safety
To mere chance
That's why belts
Are sold with pants
Burma Shave
He lit a match
To check the gas tank
That's why they call him
Skinless Frank
Burma Shave
I've got a 'million' of them, lol.
Thanks but no thanks Ern.
Guess what?
Y'all aren't mind-readers!
I'm back!
It's very good to see you! ;o)
Here's a couple of the little beauties;
....."They are noted for their unusual way of feedingthey slither into dead or dying fishes and eat them from the inside out, using their "rasping tongue" to carry food into their funnel-shaped mouth. Hagfish are notorious for their defensive slime. They secrete a sugar and protein matrix into the seawater. When expelled, it mixes with the saltwater and becomes a slippery slime. Protein strands within the slime make it extremely sticky."
Such lovely little hags...
[actually, the results of this "feeding method", the 'slither up the 'ol sterntube, and dissolve 'em from the inside out' routine, is pretty disgusting. As disgusting as the slime]
Hi DC!! Glad you're back. Was thinking about you last week. Actually haven't been posting much in the past few days.
But posting some great new animations....
This will be the third time I've written 'thankyou devolve' tonight!! At least!
Booby trap the signs with tear gas.
I like this one:
Diplomacy is
To do and say
The nastiest things
In the nicest way.
Burma Shave
"We informed the Pinkos that our use of the word "hags" was not gender specific. We meant it for their "men" also."
!!!
OMG that rocks.
That is a good one, I added it to my list!
I wanted to be nice
But I think I'm stuck
How else can I say it?
Lefties suck!
FR Shave.
Sorry bout that, Potlach, but they really were signs. Over 7,000 sets of them were erected in 43 states between 1927 and 1963. Here are four goodies.
HIS FACE WAS SMOOTH
AND COOL AS ICE
AND OH LOUISE!
HE SMELLED SO NICE
BURMA-SHAVE
DONT LOSE
YOUR HEAD
TO GAIN A MINUTE
YOU NEED YOUR HEAD
YOUR BRAINS ARE IN IT
BURMA-SHAVE
HE HAD THE RING
HE HAD THE FLAT
BUT SHE FELT HIS CHIN
AND THAT
WAS THAT
BURMA-SHAVE
AS YOU DRIVE
PLAY THIS GAME
CONSTRUCT
A JINGLE
WITH THIS NAME
BURMA-SHAVE
The book, THE VERSE BY THE SIDE OF THE ROAD by Frank Rowsome, Jr., eighth edition printed in 1971 by the Steven Greene Press in Brattleboro, Vermont (ISBN 8294-0038-8) contains the texts of all 600 of the Burma-Shave signs, as well as the history of the births of the verses, their locations and their demise. The four verses above were taken from that book. Samples of the signs are in the Smithsonian.
I do not find Pot's first verse (Says Farmer Brown...) nor IM2MAD's ditty (Diplomacy...) in the book of official Burma-Shave signs, for whatever that may be worth to you.
Could Perry be charged with littering?
