“E” makes me think of “Everywhere” which, in a great illustration of my advanced age makes me think of “Signs” by the Five Man Electrical Band whose chorus is:
Signs signs
Everywhere there’s signs
Blockin’ Out the scenery
Breaking my mind
Do this, don’t do that
Can’t you read the sign
And if we’re talking about signs, this leads me to the Which Way Photo Challenge for this week over at sonofabeach96.com. The challenge invites sharing of all modes of travel, vehicles, roads, etc, as well as signs of all sorts. Here are a few that spoke to me this week.
At Coney Island at the Bumper Cars. It’s their slogan. You can hear a carnival barker call it out in my favourite Clash video ever. A delightful trip back to early 1980’s NYC As if I need a reminder, particularly in winter (when I took this). It’s actually visible as you leave Toronto’s only nude beach. I was the only person there this day – and clothed, as always, when outside. We can be cross at times. Riding is stressful out there! In Louisiana – Not just a rodeo but EXTREME! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! SUNDAY! Toronto, often called “Hollywood North” is the filming location for many movies and TV shows. These signs are relatively common. Walk past them and you consent to being in a film. This was weird when I lived in the US but even more so now. Who needs to be reminded not to bring guns in to the grocery store? Apparently some folks. This is the only locality in the world with not one but two exclamation points! When a friend of mine saw this on Facebook, she had to edit it. With drive-through daiquiri shops and a 24/7 party zone in New Orleans, I think I might know why this hospital, in Louisiana, is #1 for liver transplants. It’s not skill, it’s demand! If you ever wanted to know what Yanni drinks, now you know – and you can get them at this store.

These are fantastic! Thanks a bunch for joining in. 😃
Some real hilarious ones!
Thanks!
Years ago when I was in Chinatown in San Francisco I saw Xing School on the street and remarked that it was a great name for a school. My mom had to tell me it meant crossing!
That’s pretty funny. I think Daegan would have had a different impression when he was young. Sage and I learned to censor our profanity when he was little. So f*** became farn (as in F……arn – a quick change mid-word to Darn). Not long after that “Exing” came in to our family vernacular. As in: “Who left the exing door open? It’s really cold in here now!” or “What the exing ex was that sound?!?!”
My daughter’s favorite joke as a four year old was “what starts with f and ends with uck?” Fire truck. It got us every time.
Haha! This was too fun a post. Thanks for sharing, and happy A to Z! Found you on the A to Z master list! http://www.lisabuiecollard.com
Love the song, and the first two signs are awesome!
