Check out this stop sign...LOL
In LA (Westwood) on Pico and Selby, next to the Bank of America, across from the Westside Pavillon.

Don't know if this has been posted here before, but I thought I'd grab a few pics and share before it gets fixed. (and, no, it wasn't me who did it...)

15. mine is at Village Photos
Edited on Tue Jul-15-03 09:02 AM by UCLA02
and has a 5mb daily access limit. The pic is 100k, so it's got about 50 hits/day before it locks up. :-(

On edit...maybe somebody could grab it now before it locks up and host it for us.

9. Just checked...
...where I hosted it. Didn't realize there was an access limit. I only thought that there was a limit to what I could upload myself. Duh!

Sorry. Its worth it if somebody could host it for me!

I couldn't put it into the internal DU mail link, so email me and I'll forward it to you. The daily access limit is already filling up today. I need somebody to host it. THANKS!!

18. How about a STICKER?
BUSH in white on a "Stop Sign Red" background and no border?

Walking by a Stop Sign it would take 2 seconds to slap one on. Make it on your own printer, say 10" x 6".

My buddy Ed thought this up. I think it ROCKS.

19. Sounds like a great idea...
(would use a helluva lot of red printer ink, though...) ;-)

20. Do what I do: use the Color Laser at work.
Nothing like using the Capitalist system to defeat it.

Got my problem squared away, but I've been getting nothing but error messages ever since. Holler if you still can't see the picture.

28. Not a problem
I get outrageous stats on my Earthlink website now (0 pageviews, 0 hits, a zillion uh, whatever the term is that means a file's been linked to). Very confusing the first time it happened; now I get a kick out of it.
