Excellent job pasting that blue sign over the original sign.

Bwahahahahahaha

Good joke man!

Heeee heeeeee .... thanks, Craig. Noticed that one newcomer very narrowly escaped the dreaded spooning.... you are a man of mercy?

-- Lisa (thanks@thank.you), June 14, 1999.

Craig ------ If my week keeps going like this it should be great. I've got a smile on my face that should last all day.

yep. all around us.

-- -. (how@cleaver.ha-ha), June 14, 1999.

Just printed this out, looks real cool, hardly [LOL] looks fake at all.

-- thinkIcan (thinkIcan@make.it), June 14, 1999.

Thanks! I love it! Between this and the thread of "what did you do for preps this weekend???" am enjoying many smiles....

Hey!! Who's in that red car?

-- Yep (yougotth@right.com), June 14, 1999.

Oh yeah, forgot to mention.......the guy in the red car is the executive assistant to Henry Kissinger........think that's a coincidence too!!

Got up at three in the am one day and heard the sound of helos coming in off the ocean. Couldn't tell what color they were, definitly military. They didn't seem to need no steenk'n road sign.

Sure it was just an excercise off a ship in the Blue Pacific, probably heading for Moffet Field.

Watch the Mississippi though!

Craig,

Or anyone else, please do NOT send this on to Gary North. I love ole Gary, but I hate it when he jumps on something like this. Now, Craig, talking about little print shops getting big Govt contracts, that's exactly what happened right here, isn't it? :-)

-- Gordon (gpconnolly@aol.com), June 14, 1999.

No worries yet, mates. If the black helicopters are out of service, what's the problem?

Recent history tells us that the UN is relatively incompetent. Fret not.

Try the National Enquirer. They'll snap this up.

-- Tom Carey (tomcarey@mindspring.com), June 14, 1999.

Craig, I love it when you entertain us like this!! Just one problem... I hate to point out the obvious... but I-95 is on the East Coast of the United States and L.A. is on the West Coast. :-)

-- Gayla Dunbar (privacy@please.com), June 14, 1999.

It's all part of the plan Gayla......they are renaming the freeways to cause confusion deliberately....this will ensure even greater dependency on the new and improved 'Big Brother'.

What an answer....I should be a used car salesman....hahahahahahaha

-- Craig (craig@ccinet.ab.ca), June 14, 1999.

If I-95 is only 3 miles from L.A. then y2k is really a non-event... !

Talk about geologic folding... :)

-- j (sandpine@juno.com), June 14, 1999.

Maybe its because the blue of the sign is so BLUE compared to the rest of the photo. Nice try Craig. Back to the drawing board.

-- SgtSchultz (SgtHansSchultz@Stalag13.com), June 14, 1999.

Craig, you're good, but George Lucas won't be after you to join Industrial Light & Magic. Now tell us the truth about the alien autopsy!

-- Jill (jdance@mindspring.com), June 14, 1999.

But the guardrail is bent.

Bet you didn't notice this is actually the inverted negative of the original photo photograhed through the rear view mirror - they're realing driving backwards, backing up on the left side the road.

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (Kennesaw, GA) (cook.r@csaatl.com), June 14, 1999.

Oh I don't know Jill.........I figure 10 minutes in Photoshop provided at least as convincing a job as the hundreds of hours they spent on developing Jar Jar Binks..........

I was afraid to get too detailed like fading the sign more to match the background and checking out the actual geography for correct freeway numbers because to be honest, there are a few here that would have taken it really seriously if I had......

At least I spared you all the animated helicopter that I was going to have fly above the sign!

-- Craig (craig@ccinet.ab.ca), June 14, 1999.

You might be onto something there Robert.........that would explain how the tree mysteriously ended up on the left side of the photograph instead of the right side where trees traditionally habitate.

-- Craig (craig@ccinet.ab.ca), June 14, 1999.

uhhh, I95 is an EAST coast highway..... Not a very good morph job. You need to upgrade the gfx package and spend a year or two learning how to use it!

-- RD. ->H (drherr@erols.com), June 14, 1999.

Yes, I-95 is on the east coast. But those on the east coast have a different perspective. Some years back (haven't been there in a while), just on the NJ side of the George Washington bridge, was a highway sign that said "West Coast, Next Left".

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 14, 1999.

Flint,

West Point, Next Left. Not West Coast. But, as usual, you were close. :-)

-- Gordon (gpconnolly@aol.com), June 14, 1999.

Gordon:

My memory is hazy, but I know that the next left put you onto I-80 West, which indeed goes to the west coast. And not to West Point.

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 14, 1999.

Damn it, Flint, this is the way you think about EVERYTHING, isn't it -- not just Y2K!! Gawd, no wonder nobody can communicate with you!!!

-- King of Spain (madrid@aol.com), June 14, 1999.

KOS:

I communicate very well with people who solve problems. I admit I have trouble understanding those who manufacture problems.

-- Flint (flintc@mindspring.com), June 14, 1999.

Don't know if you'al noticed, but Elvis is walking on the overpass.....
