For Tea Party demos along streets & highways it might be effective to space ourselves like Burma Shave signs. Takes 4 -- 3 with the lines 1 with the punch line: Tea Party. Some samples follow.
At one of these events a guy who'd worked with the city traffic planners pointed out the things to look for: where the freeway exits were & how long the cars had to wait at intersections.
Gas is low?
Turn off your air ...
Got no job?
He don’t care!
Tea Party
"These signs
Are not
For laughs alone
The face they save
May be your own" Burma-Shave
Tea Party!
I like this thread. Bookmarking...
terse verse bump!
Hope and Change
Is what we thought
Rope and Chains
Is what we got
Tea Party
Great idea, but beware of sign ordinances. The ruling class will stop at nothing to remove signs that tell the truth.
“D.C. Pols Are Smug and Farty
Come Join Us, We’re Strong & Hearty
Taxes the Size of Billy Barty
That’d Be US! The TEA PARTY “
Having been a personal friend to Barty, I can tell you he would have loved this!
LOL!
bttt
Gas $4.50?
Bam don’t care
Get on your bike
Save a polar bear
Tea Party
I like that one!
Yours is the best!
This is the best, most creative thread on FR in a good long while, I hope y'all keep it up.
I've been working on my sign (4x8 plywood sign) for my front yard, I think I'm going to have to take your words and use them instead.
Very well done!
I grew up reading these signs along along America’s highways — the last sign simply said, “BURMA SHAVE:,
Here is an example of what one might have seen:
It makes much sense,
don’t wonder why,
Spare the creame
and spoil the guy
BURMA SHAVE!
Perfect!
The Media’s got
Their Christmas Toy
Obama is
Their Fair-haired boy
TEA PARTY!
Here's one they turned down as "too racy" - ah, the simpler days.
Listen birds
These signs cost money
So roost a while
But don't get funny
Ben Met Anna
Made a hit
Neglected beard
Ben-Anna split
Burma-Shave
