“Chili Abduction?” – San Francisco’s Amber Alert Sign Still Busted

Tuesday, October 14th, 2008

The next time we have an “America’s Missing: Broadcasting Emergency Response” (aka AMBER Alert), we might want to fix our sign. This is how it looked in the SOMA on Friday.

Seems this is good enough for government work, as it’s been this way since at least May 2008:

“Driving home the other day there was an Amber Alert. But, the freeway sign was broken so there was, apparently, a Chili Abduction. I wonder how many alarms?”

The missing dots in the matrix affect legibility – like what does “TCY P/U” mean?

Of course we can figure it out, but we’re not applying for a job at Google (famous for harassing prospective employees with brain teasers), we’re driving down the superslab trying to talk on the phone, drink coffee and clear the jams on the mobile fax machine.

So please CalTrans, or CHP, or whomever, fix our sign!

This Monkey Backpack is Really a Leash.

This here monkey thing looks like a stuffed animal or a backpack, but basically it’s a disguised harness avec leash.

The youngest blogger in the world seems to like his. He doesn’t feel he’s lost his “dignity” or is being “treated like a dog”

You see, somebody who cares about you wants you to get out of the house, but not stray too far.
