I need your help again, Durtbagz. See, the last vote we had was so lop-sided that I’m only going to print the sign that won, since it got 72% of the vote.
I was wondering why it was so drastic, until I realized that the other signs just weren’t that good. I know I can do better. I will do better. I’m 50% there, I just need you guys to finish it, so we can call it one of our own weird street signs.
This is the sign I’m working with:
What are we running from?
The 50% that is missing, is the thing that is chasing them. What are they runing from? So far, we (me and some Twitter folk) have come up with a) a gigantic, crawling baby and b) Stay Puft Marshmallow Man and c) a giant cow.
I like these ideas and I want more to choose from, before deciding the final cut. Here is the criteria:
-Must be something you would not normally run from
-Must be something that looks weird, being gigantic
Leave your idears in the comments and then we’ll put them to a vote. You guys are great at voting. Nice work.
Bring the funny, people.

A pig. Topical, albeit possibly short-lived…
what about a flying pig?
flying pig is a good one. now that the whole ridiculous swine flu frenzy is over, i think we can go back to considering pigs again. nice suggestion.
Pigs are now back in the options category because the swine flu has obviously run it’s fake course.
too topical. too trendy. if it weren’t for stupid pig flu, then it would be a great suggestion. a not-scary pig is in the ballpark, for sure.
How about another approach, Caution, Silhouette Crossing!
Jan, I like it. So obvious, it’s not obvious. I would have never thought of that one. Nice.
hmmm… how about a cutesy daisy with a happy face on it?
If they weren’t running FROM something, I think they should be running with scissors. lol
Oh, that’s not a bad idea. Huge scissors in their hands…Hmm. I like it.
is it wrong that it looks to me like they are stealing the child???
[...] I did say I wanted to print two signs, I am working on the second one. If you haven’t heard, I need your help finishing this sign. So, keep up the good work, and help me complete that sign, so we can get it rolling, [...]
it does look like they have stolen her. or like she’s getting sent to the car, because she was bad out in public. i remember getting grabbed like that, right on my forearm. that meant i was in it pretty deep.
They should be running from Big Foot… you know, Sasquatch.
you’re a sasquatch, annie. the 8th graders that i talked to today at “career day” suggested the Border Patrol. Um…
Here are a couple of brain drain ideas that may lead somewhere:
A walking bar of soap
A Chicken with a holstered firearm
The MOTHER of all the little wiener dogs that are running around
Over-sized vegetable – broccoli, celery, lettuce
Mickey Mouse’s overlooked twin brother
Teradactuls (you know the dinosaur birds)
Granny on a Segway
Radioactive Mosquito
Skydiver with stuck shute
Web-site designer friends (that’s sorta inside fun)
Just a few thoughts for you to mull over…. can’t wait for your 2nd choice.
Wow, Wade! You did some brainstorming and these things are from all angles. I love it. My favorite, off the top of my head, are walking bar of soap, giant vegetable and wiener dog. Great suggestions!! Thanks for taking the time!
I second having them running while holding scissors.
