The necks one begs an accompanying picture...

Yes. I wish I had time to search for a mid-century Hydra Man, a European lithograph or an old Ad or something.
Best I could do was find this aerial shot.

"Beware Falling Rocks" used to always crack me up, driving down the south coast.

I saw "Cyclists Rock" on a rock around the Boulevard here.
(I think this had been changed from 'Suck' - but that made no geological sense anyway)
And bicycles do occasionally teeter around blind corners.

I lean less toward smissintrepreted Board of Works signage and more towards to the meaningless faux-folky aphorism side of things here.

A sick yak leaves light tracks.
Remember! a shirt has a tail but cannot bark.
Ask not why your well is uncarbonated.
Do not stoop to tie your shoeslaces in your neighbour's melon patch.
But if I dialed the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
Everyone envies a tortoise in a hurry.

Isn't there a song -
"If the phone don't ring, It's me"?

Might go nicely with number 5.

Don't know in which order, though.

Great line Miss.

My fav quotes are from '68, but that's another topic.

Je suis marxiste tendance Groucho?

- or something from the comeback special?

I think cs is nostalgic for those classic Situationist lines like:

Under the paving stones, the beach!
Chance must be systematically explored.
Boredom is always counterrevolutionary.
Everything disputable must be disputed.
It is forbidden to forbid.
Long live the ephemeral.
Free your ass and your mind will follow.

They sound like more emergency lines for blog banter/flame skirmishes.

Or perhaps - match the situationist line with the blog...
(this one is forever ephemeral)
