+ScroogieII Posted July 1, 2020 Share Posted July 1, 2020 Surely you've heard the joke about the numbers-driven Waymarker - "He'd even Waymark a stop sign if he could.". I believe I read that on this forum some years back and the statement has stuck with me for some reason. Today is Canada Day. Happy Canada Day everyone!!! I thought it might be nice to do something a bit different to help celebrate our birthday this year so... ...today, on our country's birthday, I finally managed to legitimately Waymark a Stop Sign!!! Well, two, actually. Keith 3 Quote Link to comment

Keith I loved that line from the article : It’s to get people to stop at that intersection and pause and consider coming downtown rather than just burning on through to the 2nd Street bridge.

+iconions Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 Happy Canada Day, Keith! Now, you need to go to a town small enough where they actually document rolling up the sidewalks in the evening OR have competitive watching paint dry championships. Wait, that means you're in small town Oklahoma! (I've spent way too many evenings at my Grandmother's in the thriving metropolis of Fairland, Oklahoma!) I guess I can't say anything bad about your stop sign, though, I waymarked a street corner near my house. - Back of Stop Sign - LOL Quote Link to comment

And Happy Canada Day to you, too, Tom. Keith Quote Link to comment
vulture1957 Posted July 2, 2020 Share Posted July 2, 2020 new challenge -- waymark a kitchen sink. Or sliced bread. 2 Quote Link to comment

Have you ever tried to get a slice of bread to stand up so you could take its pic? As for the kitchen sink, somewhere in this world there must be a junk-art piece that incorporates a kitchen sink. BTW - perchance, were you in the kitchen when you wrote that? Keith Quote Link to comment

But I was thinking that lots of people used to say "Everything, including the kitchen sink." and "Better than sliced bread, or best thing since sliced bread." So they'd make good challenges.

The sliced bread might be a tall order, but we're looking into the possibilities of a kitchen sink right now. We'll keep you posted if we come up with something. Keith Quote Link to comment
