Poll question: Help name Adopt-a-Highway sign!
I want a good name for our "adopt-a-highway" sign. Mrs. V. and I, loving our own little corner of the world and despising litter as we do, are going to clean up an apx. 1 mi. stretch of 2-lane country road where it leads to our street. The county will post signs at each end of our mile, announcing who's doing the clean-up.

It's not a big deal. I hope other DUers who DU this will speak up, though! I don't want to think we're the only ones out there getting filthy, & mosquito-bitten, suffering sunburn & heat-stroke, picking up ticks & germs along with the trash, only to fight a losing battle. ;)

I don't necessarily care if our neighbors know it's us, but I don't really want to advertise it. We're not putting our names on the sign. We'll know they know it's us soon enough, anyway -- the first time one of them tells us, "you look great in day-glo orange."

The Regs here in the Lounge know me pretty well, so if you have an "Other" suggestion, by all means, offer it! We don't plan to use any politically provocative slogans, so you needn't offer any.

Thanks!

1. I voted for Waldorf Cat Haven
Although the immigrant one was pretty good, too.

Waldorf Cat Haven sounds like one of the many turn of the century health resorts that sprang up around the U.S.

5. Names
The Fragile Porcelain Mice
The Fighting Amish
State Prisoners #375845 and #483022

There's a program in Tulsa called "Up With Trees" where you can pay some amount of money and some arborphiles will plant some trees and put up a (wooden - can't figure that out) sign with your name and "Up with Trees" on it. I've been wanting to pay for a planting and say the organizations name is "Down with Bush."

Down with Bush. Up with Trees. I LIKE it.

11. Maybe you can coerce your neighbors...
Edited on Tue Feb-17-04 09:48 PM by HamstersFromHell
...into adopting their own street with a sign like:

The Finders-Keepers (Do you know how many sacks of money we find each clean up?) Patrol.

(edit for typos)

13. Another vote for Waldorf Cat Haven.
My own is showing his approval as we speak by rubbing up against my monitor while I'm trying to type.
