• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Interesting/Funny signs on the road

When we were doing one of the wine trails in the NY Fingerlakes region, we came across both of these signs (the women's room sign was just as funny but I just couldn't get the picture right with the lighting). One of the Redneck Wines was Kiss My :cus: Blush. We had to buy Erags one of the Pompous :cus: shirts we thought they were so funny. They had Pompous :cus: :doorag: doorags too but we thought they were overpriced and skipped them.

When we were somewhere in New England the speed bumps/humps were referred to as "traffic calming" ahead...CALMING??? Those things drive me nuts! :cus: The other difference we've noticed in road signs in different states has been what traffic circles are called..."circles" in one state are "rotaries" in another but "roundabouts" elsewhere--and the right of way varies in different states...sometimes it's the one in the circle that has to yield, othertimes it's the one entering. :yikes: How about some uniformity?!


There must be a grant for putting "roundabouts" here in Minnesota :dontknow:'cause they are popping up everywhere with NO consistency, the signs don't even match the lines and arrows painted on the road! :yikes:So beware when driving them here! --Paula
 
A handwritten sign we saw in a Native American reservation in New York stated: "Yes, there ARE terrorists passing through the _____________ Reservation...they are called US BORDER PATROL AGENTS, FBI, etc." Guess they weren't too happy about regulations! :ohyea: Another handwritten sign we saw at an Adirondacks Visitor Center (unmanned) was "Nothing valuable is left here--please don't break door for nothing."nojoke
 
Sign in N.C

I used to go down to South Carolina to visit a friend and there were these signs put out for the South of the Border complex. The one that got me laughing for a few years was I don't remember how many" Honeymoon Suites ------Heir conditioned.":roflblack:

I used to live in Fayetteville, NC and would travel to FL frequently and the South of the Border signs drove me crazy. Your Sheep are all Counted at South of the Border. You never sausage a place - you're always a weiner at South of the Border.
 
A bumper sticker we saw when we were in New York read "I'm only speeding like this because I have to POOP."

When we were in Quebec we saw a sign near a covered bridge that had a picture of an elephant on it...no words. Guess it was some kind of weight limit...or maybe they just didn't want elephants on it. Or maybe they DID want elephants? :dontknow:

Then there was the church marquee in Vermont: "Love God, and do as you please." Anyone from VT (or anywhere else) that can explain that one?
 
You had to be there.....

Before my (dearly departed) wife and I were married we had to go through the marriage licence thing so we went to the appropriate building in Winston Salem and the sign above the door read "Gun Permits and Marriage Licences."
I'd love to read your comments here.......you lot have a great sense of humour.
