Recycle this.
Here's the latest installment of loving the cameraphone. It's one of my favorite signs on campus. It's been like this for a couple years now. There's a lot of good things going on here. Pretty much started out as a regular recycling sign and went downhill from there. Here's the sign:
So, first after "Trash..." somebody wrote "bad" simple, perhaps smile worthy but otherwise nothing much to write home about. The "Bad... Grammar makes me sad!" person, pretty funny but you know it's pretty much as fun to use bad grammar just for the people to blow their tops as it is to use words and stuff correctly. The thing that I think really takes this sign to the next level though is the third thing:
"Idiot grammar snobs... throw your trash away and recylce properly" That's quality in my book. The vast majority of people just don't care that much to take time out of their busy lives to finish a conversation on a recycling sign. This person did and I just wanted to salute them.
