Hanging Around (Guest Signage: Erica and Steivan Johnson!)

A gruesome image, courtesy of WYEP, Pittsburgh. The song "Strange Fruit" comes to mind.

Either/Or

Includes Typos: Odd Jobs

Skip down to the underlined material:

I love the complete abandonment of formal grammar by the second sentence. Attention to detail and excellent written communications skills? Kettle, meet pot.

Amature Hour at BSB (Guest Signage: Avalon Hoek Spaans!)

Using this reasoning, we must assume this person has given up.

Heeling Is Dangerous!

Aside from errant gunfire, my biggest hiking fear is encountering a dog that rolls over on command.

What's Your Worth? (Odd Jobs Series)

I just imagine someone with a thick Brooklyn accent shrugging and saying: "Whaddaya think? $50,600? $56,100? Hey, we're flexible. But this ain't Wall Street. $56,200? Fuhgeddaboudit"

Always Remember (Guest Posting: Meryl Zimmerman!)

This bit of brilliance is brought to you by the US Postal System, a component of the same government responsible for Congressional Act 52 Stat. 351; 5 U.S. Code, Sec. 87a: The designation of Veterans' Day.

Apparently, they don't have access to google, a calendar, or spellcheck.

Boy-Cot Bad Spelling

This "Call to Action" has been gaining momentum in the aftermath of the election, and truthfully it's a protest I can endorse. Just as long as I'm still free to eat Papa John's pizza should the urge arise. 

And it's drawbridge people. One word. Get it together. 

Bard Has More Character than Twitter: Odd Jobs Series

In contrast to last week's "no first name needed" listing, Bard offers a striking alternative: 30,000 characters of first name goodness. Your move, Twitter. 

While We Wait for Florida to Vote (Guest Signage: Ian Hoek Spaans!)

A reminder to extra-hungry Gainesville, FL Taco Bell patrons: Don't eat the counter. Or the sign. Or something. 

No wonder these people take twice as long as the rest of the country to vote. BTW Florida: the election's over.

Don't Block the Box

Back into investigative reporting mode, our team uncovered a difficult to spot bit of signage:

We dug deeper to uncover this:

We tried checking underneath the shelf:

Unsatisfied, we tossed the bottles aside.

Aha! It all made sense. But the clear message was being rudely ignored by a pile of sweaters. 

Unable to stand by idly in the face of injustice, our reporter asked an employee of the unnamed-for-legal-reasons establishment: "Why?" "Why would anyone treat a member of the electorate, or at least electricate, with such disdain?" 

The answer was simple: "The outlet doesn't work."

Hi, My Name Is: Odd Jobs

First off, no employment application system should be named "EasyChair." 

Secondly, let's chill on the exclamation marks. I'm glad my user name is available, but what's with the "Hello!"? A bit much, if you ask me. 

Finally, I understand different cultures have different naming systems, but I think we can all figure out how to divide our names without a help article.   

Unauthorized! (Guest Signage: Erica Johnson!)

Another gem from Erica, who has more trouble paying for things than anyone deserves.
