Rest stop toilet sign

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | Leave a comment

Embellished sign, outside a highway rest stop toilet in northern WA… incidentally, the shortest, skimpiest restroom walls I’ve ever seen. Anti-cruising measure?

Bug splats: strange sign at a gas station

Posted on July 27, 2011 by | 1 comment

Bug splats. Seen about 45 min north of Seattle on the 5. I have to say, their drawings aren’t terribly accurate…

Should People Receiving Entitlements Be Allowed to Vote?

Should People Receiving Entitlements Be Allowed to Vote? I get the sense that whoever made this sign doesn’t think so. Seen on the side of I-5 in Washington state.

Wanker’s Country Store

Want me to pick anything up for you at Wanker’s, honey? This is a real sign – seen in West Linn, OR. My local friend says the Wanker family has lived there for years, and the locals didn’t think it was nearly as funny or remarkable as we did.

Words, words, words…are always written on context-sensitive paper. (Homotextual Slide Show!)

In a paraphrase of the Bard’s famous tale, the Queen asks the Prince: “What are you reading, Hamlet?” and he replies:  “Words, words, words…” 500 years later the gay literary great William Burroughs said “Language is a virus from outer space.” Well…that would certainly explain a lot!

More Homotextuality here, here, and here.

Beautiful SOMA Banksy – Hot Rat!

Banksy on 9th St. SF. Photo: Gay Highwaymen, Dec 2010.

Banksy! We snapped this shot on 9th St between Folsom and Harrison Streets in San Francisco’s SOMA (South of Market) district some time back. Popped up “just so” during last year’s run of Exit Through The Gift Shop.

Hey, B,…if you ever want to extend your marvelous marks into the rural fabulosity of NorCal, you are invited. Hospitality, anonymity, great groovy walls and other cool surfaces guaranteed!

WHAT Kind of Tongue?!

They say there’s one at the bottom of every garden. One at least, and a virtual gaggle in this one. Shot in the Botanical Gardens in Ft. Bragg, California.
