don’t block the box
February 19, 2010
I spent the week in D.C. for work, and Kim got to come with me.
I like D.C. Great restaurants. Lots of history. Great museums.
And this:
I don’t even have a joke here.
(Well, that’s not true, but Kim is currently running about 10,000 volts of electricity through my body, preventing the actual expression of jokes. Insert your own joke here if you can–Ha! Managed to get one in. HA! TWO! Nnnnngngnsksndfnskdnfdnnnanaahhhhhh.)

I agree with the sign completely. I hate it when the box is blocked.
February 19, 2010 at 2:47 pm

Are you not supposed to block the box (whatever that may be)? But it’s crossed out, so are you supposed to block the box? I know DC is bi-polar but can’t they even figure out which way signs are supposed to go? I suppose if you aren’t for blocking the box, you must be against it! Hilarious!

“Are you not supposed to block the box (whatever that may be)?”
well, i’m gonna say, it depends.

If they have a Critical Mass event at this place, will their designated traffic control people be called “Box Corkers”?

Must be part of some abstinence campaign in D.C. Just the opposite here in my SLC neighborhood where we had “Speed Hump” painted by the County across some roads just before the speed bumps for a few weeks.

I’ve always been intimidated by the “Speed Hump” signs. Is that a requirement when you move into the neighborhood? How fast? Do you have to leave town if you don’t?
Which reminds me of the words of the great 21st philosopher Larry Dues:
“If you want harder and faster, I can do that. If you want deeper, we’d better be talking about philosophy.”

This (somehow) seems appropriate to this thread:

That sign probably only cost 400 million dollars. And as has been pointed out, it’s a double negative. Better spend more money on education.
February 19, 2010 at 2:43 pm
well, i think money better spent on abstinence. just say no, right?
February 20, 2010 at 2:35 pm
Indeed. Say NO to the box!

@keith – sorry i don’t have a picture, but there is a road called Penile on the outskirts of Louisville,KY. Probably too expensive to keep replacing the signs.

Block the Box? I can’t, as the song says, my di*k’s in the box.

If the box is unblocked, should I then ‘Mind the Gap’
February 19, 2010 at 2:32 pm
You owe me a new keyboard! And a monitor! I totally just spit diet coke with lime all over both of them!
February 19, 2010 at 2:37 pm
well, if no one else is going to say it…
THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID!
February 19, 2010 at 2:44 pm
i think actually HE said it.
February 20, 2010 at 7:55 am
…good point.

Is this really at the intersection where the Nat’l Museum of Women in the Arts is located?
February 19, 2010 at 3:26 pm

Is H street significant?
And thank you for the proper spelling of being electroshocked. I always wanted to know.
