These signs are no longer pedestrian (1 slightly NSFW) Slight alterations in these signs have created new meanings! Fun, one risque. She's started a Flickr group and asked if others have ped sign alterations.

  • oops, no linkee goodness, can't get in
  • on a humor scale of 1 to 100... I'll give it a 4 :-\ I'm very, very, hard to please recently.....
  • Those aren't as cool as the stop sign I saw last Halloween...
  • jccalhoun... it was that "3 way" part that got ya excited, I bet... eh?
  • Just a so-so photo set really. Has the faint smell of self-link as well... Not saying it is, but my nose just twitched a bit. Damn, I just made my boss disappear!
  • I don't understand the train of thought that can give a NSFW label to a stick figure on a public road sign.
  • Damn, I just made my boss disappear! Why damn? Most people would happy for their boss to disappear.
  • Why damn? Most people would happy for their boss to disappear. On second thought, you're correct. Perhaps I should have phrased that "hot-damn!" Oh well, these are the internets after all...
  • on a humor scale of 1 to 100... I'll give it a 4 :-\ I'm very, very, hard to please recently..... I've been easy to please lately. I'd still only give it a 4.
  • ow ow ow ow damn, my nose is cramping, but my boss STILL hasn't disappeared
  • smelled like self link to me for a bit as well, but, given ecomuseboy's profile, I gave him the benefit of the doubt...... however, in looking at the profile, I was wondering about why someone would describe themself as "boyish"... I've heard that term used to describe older guys who seem to have not grown up, or girls/women of a certain appearance... (gotta like Mary Stuart Masterson in "some kind of wonderful")... something to ponder as I sort out personalities here...
  • My boss disappeared, but that's because it's lunchtime.
  • I don't know, I think an invisible boss (The Invisible Boss?) could really be intimidating.
  • and...I'm the boss.... and I'm still here (although I've had to break two or three noses today in order to accomplish that!)
  • I love you Tony Danza!!!!
  • damn...the minute i hit "post" i thought about that.....
  • Slight threadjack, but this reminds me of a Straight Dope message board thread I was looking at a few days ago. Someone wrote: At my local taco bell, there is an electric hand dryer in the bathroom with an illustration showing how to use the dryer. The warm air is depicted in the picture as red, wavy lines coming out of the dryer into the person's hands. Underneath this someone has written "Press button, receive bacon." Now that's comedy!
  • natasha... I really want a prize for this next time you have to do your own homework!
  • HuronBob, congratulations! You've won the Golden Bacon Meritous Service Award! Next time you're in LA (provided you're a carnivore) I shall bestow upon you a gift of fatty breakfast meat rendered into the most beautiful sandwich creation on this earth: the BLAT. Some might argue that it's simply a BLT with avocado, but I'd like to think that the addition of the avocado elevates the sandwich to a new level. Mmmm... bacon...
  • Man, what a tough crowd! 1) Not self linked, or even anyone I know, although it is someone from KC. Here's a self-link in case you burn yourself on the bacon hand-dryer. 2) Sidedish - link didn't work? 3) Boyish as in youthfully playfully middle-aged, certainly younger than dirt :) 4) Suitable for my workplace, but I've seen threads here where someone was blasted for something that I considered mild. I figured better safe than sorry. Sorry to disappoint you. 5) Eh, I still like the signs.
  • I used to hitchhike a lot in Europe. And at the highway entrances there were always signs 'forbidden for pedestrians'. And often a hitchhiker had altered those signs with the felt-pen she already used to made her destination sign (in Europe highways can lead to everywhere so you have to make your demands up-front). Big thumbs and backpacks were the favourites, but sexual themes were also quite popular. I made some pictures, but they're in my non-digital, and very dusty, archive and I'm lazy an all that.
  • yes, we are a "tough crowd" we demand much!!!!!!!! :) Then we just don't care and will click on bacon links... and, dirt isn't that old...
  • ...boyish... /resolves to name next collie Laddish
  • Fucking brilliant. Post a link that does not go over well and get people to accuse you of self-linking. Then, you are justified by following immediately with a legitimate self-link. I love it. It is brilliant. Make people beg for your self link.
  • Make them beg for bacon! I luvs me some bacon.
  • For what it's worth, I found this one rather amusing. I mean, uh, bacon.
  • "get people to accuse you of self-linking" Yep, it's pretty clear from the language used that I was begging to be accused of self-linking. I thought it was about bananas and pancakes! I aim to please: I love bacon So does Kevin (somebody had to) We missed the Bacon Fun Fair, though (scroll to Aug 18) and to bring it around full circle, someone's photos (not connected to me in any way) under the heading of Assorted Bacon, including a Ped sign modified the same way as in the original post. Coincidence? ))) ~ ~ ~ (soon to be internationally recognized as symbol for bacon) O O O Pancakes
  • eumuseboy, I know you weren't trying to get people to accuse you of self-linking. I was merely applying some revisionist history to make you look like a brilliant schemer. I was also suggesting a silly model for other people to get their self-links accepted.
  • Bernockle - sorry to be oversensitive. It's just that I am a brilliant schemer, but I hate to be outed as one.
