Did they really run out of letter-Os on that first sign? What's the point of putting a 1 up, instead? Or are they being charged per character?
ReplyDeleteRegarding the parade one, here's all I can come up with:
ReplyDeleteThey're asking, in a very poor way, "do you show love" In other words, do you love a parade? Or do you parade a love around for others to see?
It's stupid no matter how you slice it. No matter how you slice it it's stupid.
I think Steve's got it. Although when I hear someone talking about parading their love, I think of something a little different. I think I spend too much time in San Francisco.
ReplyDeleteThat parade sign is right by my school (I was actually going to take a picture of it and send it in, but someone beat me to it!) and it stumps me to this very day. It says it's supposed to be the name of a sermon, but that title needs to be reevaluated...
ReplyDeleteIt's possible that "parade" is a reference to Jesus' "Triumphal Entry" into Jerusalem; Mar. 16 was Palm Sunday, although I wouldn't think most Baptists would observe it (could be wrong about that, though).
ReplyDeleteI'M WITH DIESEL. I ONLY PICTURE MEN HOLDING HANDS, WEARING PINK TUTUS, WAVING RAINBOW FLAGS. MAYBE IT'S A GAY CHURCH...IN WHICH CASE IT MAKES TOTAL SENSE.
ReplyDeleteRe the "parade" sign. I would not be surprised to find that the message being preached echoed either Matthew 6:5 (hypocritical public prayer), or Luke 18:9-14 (parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector), or both. What Steve said, in theological terms. I can see the holy parade going by ...
ReplyDeleteJeez. I'm sicker than I thought.
I love a parade--I swear, isn't that from The Music Man?
ReplyDeleteCryptic is too intelligent a word for that sign.
I love a parade!
ReplyDeleteI love a parade!
I parade my love in silk and satin with a monkey on her back!
I parade my love on the street corner for 50 bucks a crack!
I paraded my love and they threw me in the hoosegow!
Where's my lawyer?
