This is my favourite stop sign in the world.
When they re-did the street like ten or fifteen years ago, they decided that the spot also needed a stop sign. But this addition seemed to have been something of an afterthought, as rather than doing the sensible thing and placing it on a protective traffic island, they simply stuck the sign right into what was essentially the middle of bare street. Where any passing car could easily drive right over it.
Which they did. No less than three times. In rapid succession.
This stop sign used to be seven feet tall. Every time it got hit (and consequently flattened flush to the ground), the repair people simply sawed off the bent part of the post and stuck it back into the street. (If you look closely, you can still see the rusted remnants of previous placements at the foot of the sign.)
After a while, and continued impacts (and sawing), they seemed to realize that they were eventually going to actually *run out* of post. In desperation, instead of putting it back in the ground, they filled a five gallon bucket with concrete, set it on the road, and put it in *there*, presumably with the thought that they’d just be able to set it back up if it got knocked over.
(Yeah, that didn’t last long.)
But then, finally, someone came up with a solution: they mounted the sign ON A COMICALLY LARGE SPRING.
As you can probably guess from the warped angle at which it stands, the sign continues to be flattened at regular intervals to this day—but it pops back up every time, a true inspiration to us all.
(I can only hope that it’s accompanied by a hilarious ‘BOING’ sound effect).

if anyone ever tries to tell you that the ancient greeks were more sophisticated than us, just remember that there was a ship war between plato and aeschylus over whether achilles or patroclus was the top in their relationship, while xenophon was off complaining that he didn’t ship that

my great-grandfather had to leave italy in the 20′s because he hit a fascist with a tuba, so if you think I am going to take this sitting down you are going to have to catch these hands and also this tuba
When my grandmother got married in the Philippines during WWII, she had to do so under her sister’s name. She couldn’t use her own because she was wanted by the occupying Japanese forces for slapping a soldier off a dock when he assaulted her friend. So if you think I’m not going to backhand some pussy-grabbing fascist then meet me on the fucking dock.
My family no longer has a crest because records of my great grandfather’s existence was burned because he knee’d one of Franco’s guards in the dick repeatedly after the bombing of Guernica, where his wife’s family was from. I will knee every fascist I meet in the respective genitalia.
the holy trinity.
