Don’t Feed The Birds | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2009/03/10/dont-feed-the-birds
Don’t Feed The Birds. THE BIRD: A warning to the phantom pigeon feeder. I’ll file this one in the Victor Meldrew deparment of sign spotting. For those who don’t recognize the name, Victor Meldrew. Is a British sitcom character who was constantly driven to distraction by other people’s idiocy. In the above case, the sign writer manages to succinctly project: malice (ur time is coming), sarcasm (there are no pigeons dying round here) and a direct order (! March 10, 2009. America.

Park Closes at Dark | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2007/11/08/park-closes-at-dark
Park Closes at Dark. There’s something poetic about this playground sign on Pacific Street and Third Avenue in Cobble Hill. Did the person who made the sign purposefully try to make it easy on the ear? And is there something about the ‘beat’ of the wording that makes an otherwise ordinary sign seem more attractive?

January | 2008 | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2008/01
You can really feel the frustration of the poor sign writer in this soon-to-be closed Barnes and Noble in New York’s Astor Place. It makes you wonder what he had to clean up lately—and how many times. Pissing in shitters? Yes But shitting in pissers? Puh-lease. (Pic via BlogChelsea.). January 6, 2008. America.

Wanted: Stylist With Following | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2007/10/09/wanted-stylist-with-following
Wanted: Stylist With Following. This sign in a hair salon on 7th Avenue in Park Slope seems like an unusual request: a stylist. I can just imagine the interview:. 8220;I see you’ve been a stylist for five years now…And would you say over that time you’ve developed a following? 8230;That’s great. And how big would you say your following is? Because we really are looking for someone with a sizable following to, you know, fill the place up a bit.”. October 9, 2007. Uncategorized.

Jesus! | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2007/12/14/jesus
The sign on this church in Park Slope, Brooklyn, disappeared for a while during the autumn and has recently returned. I can’t help muttering “Jesus! 8221; under my breath each time I walk past. Since most churches in New York seem obsessed with hyperbolic signs. You have to wonder what compelled this congregation to go with something so simple. Did they feel it had all been said before?

But Who Is In Control of God? | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2007/11/02/but-who-is-in-control-of-god
But Who Is In Control of God? Spotted on Prospect Place and Grand Street, Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. What is it about the American love affair with cars and car stickers? From the ubiquitous Stars and Stripes emblazoned with the slogan “These Colors Never Run” to the Bush-bashing jibes about a village in Texas missing its idiot. Why, people? Why do you need these things? Is it something to do with freedom of speech? Or is it something to do with American individuality? Be the first to comment! Get every...

Signs of Life | Exploring the meaning of signs | Page 2
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/page/2
October 6, 2007. Tags: Churches. You Need a Key To Get In. I don’t know if I walked around London with my eyes closed but everywhere I go in New York I see interesting signs. Perhaps the English tendency towards tidiness means fewer people are tempted to stick something on their door or window or car? Or perhaps, being an immigrant to the city I just notice more? And why did they underline the word “IN”? Is it to reinforce the fact that you don’t need a key to get out? October 4, 2007. Tags: Brooklyn.

A Bible-Believing Church | Signs of Life
https://lifesigns.wordpress.com/2007/10/30/a-bible-believing-church
This is a very strong contender for “statements of the bleeding obvious.” Unless I’m missing something. “A Bible-Believing Church.” Is there really any other kind? October 30, 2007. Tags: Churches. Where are there any bible-believing churches? I live in an area that does not have any churches that are really on fire for God and loving at the same time. We don’t even go to church anymore because all of the churches that we go to only go so far with the faith or they are scary-cult-like. Help!
