"Pentecost Sunday/ Sermon/No Comma Momma/Happy Mother's Day"submitted by new contributor Trevor P.
Well at least this church sign admits they're not going to bother with punctuation.
On the other hand: Does anybody know what the &^%$ they're talking about??

"The deacons told me to change this sign so I did"submitted by frequent contributor Rachel H.
There is a certain something to be said about devotion to one's job.
You just shouldn't say it about this sign.

I don't suppose "alt text" has been suggested. That would be the historical way of letting text-based browsers know what the images said, and modern browsers display the alt text when the mouse hovers over them.
ReplyDeleteThe new captions don't bother me, but when there are pre-existing conventions for solving problems, I like to use those first.
That was my first choice, too...but there are some people who have poor eyesight that couldn't read the signs even when the pics showed up.
ReplyDeleteYea to BRWombat...the new header looks great! btw Joel, I enjoyed the contest. I'd love to see more.
ReplyDeleteI think it will be good because it will allow people to search for a particular sign saying.
ReplyDeleteI think the comma, momma reference may be an different versions of the bible KJV vs NIV type of stuff....yep....great...i do so hope Im wrong!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to DJ! And to Steve! This was a lot of fun, and I can't wait 'til next week.

My hat off to DJ. I thought I might actually pull it off (a victory, not my hat) when I gained about 10 points and passed him. But he managed to get back in it.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I thought that I could count on the super delegates to put me in the lead, so I refused to concede the race until the very end. ;)
Can't wait until the next one.
Ooh... I like the new format! All of it!
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteYour dependance on the superdelegates and your needless protraction of the race has fractured the community here at CSS, and has given the church signs an advantage going into the fall. Shame on you. Don't you know that you're supposed to drop out of the race when your opponent tells you to? :)
Crummy Church Signs: Change we can believe in!
Does this mean I won't be selected as your vice-winner, DJ?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I think that votes from people in Michigan and Florida should have been counted after all, but Joel said no way. If you would count those, I'm sure I would have won, then.
