That's amazing, insane, random and awkward. Thanks, tardmitter.

But it's a shop sign that made my day.

1500 ft at 9.81m/s^2...

That'll be a pretty quick fall.

GREAT story about marriage.

Drinking Sherry?! BLAAAGHGHGH! That is insane.
 
2011-10-24 08:09:08 PM
That's kind of amusing, but can we please give up using the word "insane" to describe things that are slightly out of the ordinary?
 
2011-10-24 08:10:12 PM
Having to open the link, then go to twitter, then click on the lnk for the pic....that's insane.

Subby and whoever greened this need to to humanity a favor and DIAF.

I'm no jumper, but 1500 feet is kinda low for a jump, isn't it?

/ Just want to be sure I'm getting the joke.

Weird. Reminds me of an old photoshop I did though for "The last picture you take before you die"

No one can drink 4 pints and still have time to open the chute and land safely from 1500 feet.
I think he forgot to add a zero.

Sherry? I use that crap for cooking. Ugh.

Seriously, my page hits are valuable. F5 F5 F5 F5 F5...

I LOLed.

Wish people around here did things like that.

The signs, I mean. Not the skydiving drunk 50 year old woman thing. But I'd pay to see that.

And 4 PINTS of sherry whilst doing so?!

I couldn't do 4 pints of anything in that short space of time. Are you an alcoholic? Can you do 4 pints of sherry freefalling from just 1500ft?

No, just insanely fussy about word usage.

How is that sign "menacing"?

It's a perfectly cromulent sign.

You don't think it's too subtle, Marty, you don't think people are going to drive down and not see the sign?

Is this something worth clicking on a BB link? Surprised it hasn't been re-linked in here yet.

No.

The weirdest one I ever read just said "If you require pickled wieners, call this number ###-####".

Pickled weiners? And who would not just want them but require them?
 
2011-10-24 08:58:29 PM
OK my good Farkers. This reminded of a pic that circulated the net for years of a handwritten letter someone obviously deranged had written. You could only understand the first few words until it trailed off into some ha's or something and then just some random stick letters.

Anyone remember/have a link to this?

I'll gladly pay one internet on Tuesday for a link today.

That's as many as four tens.
And that's terrible.
