Eureka!! I found a way to protect my yard signs

[MadMichDem]

from theft. I sprayed the whole sign (both sides) and the posts with Canola Oil Cooking Spray. I've already had 2 stolen and have noticed alot of them missing around town. Wonder if I should write an editorial for the local paper about Bush folks being theives...hmmmm.

1. I did.

Of course my rightwingnut paper didn't post it. But I wrote one anyway. I'm on my second Kerry sign. Last time I went to Dem headquarter in my town I told them what happend and they gave me a couple extra for back-ups.

6. And stains your clothes

oil stains are a bitch to get out of clothes.

I think something sticky, stinky, and colorful would be more appropriate though.

7. prussian blue would work wonders.

9. add some glitter to the stinky stainey goo........

the principal of the electric fence comes to mind....

4. great idea! Now if I could just figure out.....

If only there was something I could add to the oil that would make a persons hand itch or turn red when touching the sign. :evilgrin:

8. How about an assault rifle?

At least it would be ironic.

10. Was going to try dog poo but I couldn't

figure out how to keep it "moist". Yuck.

11. I wonder if it would help to sprinkle a little bit of cayenne pepper

over the oil. The vandals would regret their actions after the first time they touched their face.

12. use carpet tack strips

for the posts, tack a couple of these together and the nails on the post make it hard to pull out...and painful
