Maybe we should have an interesting sign thread

Pity the "Out-of-Towners" who might go into that lane at speed on advice from their GPS' voice directions.

*THUD!*

Someone will come by shortly to paint the light post flat black.

I had to look that one up. At first I thought it was Klingon, but nope. Pretty obscure cultural reference there.

Not obscure if you an old fart!

I think it was "The day the earth stood still". 1951

 

[Bayless]

Yeah, you had to be "of a certain age."

The trailing credits say 1950.

If anyone has time and inclination, you should see the original with Michael Rennie as Klaatu. Way better than the 08 version with K. Reeves (sp?). The Day the Earth Stood Still.

I am an old fart. Almost 60.

They say memory is the second thing to go. I don't remember what goes first.

I remember reading about that sign,& the story behind it.
Seems that this guy happened to look at it,& noticed that
someone had left a note,with the code on it,for programming
the sign,and he couldn't resist.

Ahhhh, and today's youngsters would mostly need to have it explained to them since it isn't a video game....

 

[JHaydon]

It's not the youngsters' fault those cartoons aren't on the air anymore. Heck I'd still be watching them if the networks hadn't figured out that they could make a lot more money by airing a 22-minute long commercial.
