On Some Signage

Hey all you loyal Sign Watchers!

I’ve got three bueats today, S-Dubs, let me tell ya’! I worked my little patooter off today to find these choice specimens, and boy are they ever good! Let’s get right to the action! The first comes from the side of a moving van, and it reads:

MCNALLY MOVING: WE MOVED MICHAELANGELO’S “PIETA”

Wowee, that’s a sign! I hope someone asked them to move the “Pieta”! That’s a priceless work of art! They’re either great movers or horrible thieves! The best part is, the sign let’s us choose! Free choice! I love signs, don’t you!?!

Our second entry comes from a new shop in town. This sign reads:

WE SELL HARD-TO-FIND RECORDS AND NOSTALGIA

Neat! This store sells a concept! Sometimes I feel like I’m living too much in the present, and I could really use some nostalgia! And this place can get me what I need! I think they buy records and nostalgia, too, so I can get rid of my old 45s and memories of summer camp! Ha! Signs let you do the impossible! Like trade in an idea! I love them!

Our third and final (boo!) entry for today comes from the church marquee board, a frequent inspiration for entries on our site. Today’s incarnation reads:

THROW IN THE TOWEL: MAY 10TH AND 11TH

I don’t know what this means! That’s a funny way to predict the apocalypse! I’ve heard of signs from above, but that’s just silly! Hey all you non-Christians! Pack it in! Time to give up! You’ve held out long enough! You gotta quit, but I guess you can go back to your ways on the 12th (if there is a 12th!) Signs are the bomb, especially when they’re enigmatically religious! Signs! Yeah!

That’s all the sign entry for today, faithful S-Dubs! Come back tomorrow for more signs! And keep those eyes peeled! You never know what crazy hijinks you may spy on a sign!
