Cricket Musings: I can’t stop thinking about the sign of the times
Lately I’ve been diligently working on developing Pam Webb, debut picture book author, but I do miss those Cricket Muse days of somewhat anonymously posting this and that. I especially miss sparring with Mike Allegra, famed children’s author and blogster of humorous doodle repartee. Mike—if you are out there, send me a sign all is well. Thanks—
Speaking of signs (and Mike would no doubt chortle)…
Someone or some persons over the last several years have taken to stop sign graffiti. Scattered throughout our fair town are numerous, and often hilarious messages added to the stop signs. Here are a few :
This is only half of the collection. Someone or persons have been busy. The police chief doesn’t seem that concerned about the vandalism, in fact, he gave the impression the messages are part of the greater picture of what makes our town unique. And who can stop people from expressing their opinion?
What stop expression would you sneak up on a sign?
These are awesome!!
That’s only a smattering of the collection!
Stop the world I want to get off!!!
I will put that one in the suggestion box.
Please, STOP that bus.
That one is a definite it STOP candidate.
You can’t STOP the beat!
Good one👍🏻
I like that, inventive and a bit naughty but they keep people smiling. It is quirky, and I’m sure some enterprising local will try to turn them into a tourism thing.
Hmm, a map of stop signs needs printing up.
And an official tour guide to give the traditional anecdotes, as well.
You’re hired! I will talk to the Chamber of Commerce.
I think they are funny and a great idea, because people will stop at the sign to read them.
I wonder if that was the true intention…
