Sign of the Day
Allen Stern blogs about a sign that’s outside Rice to Riches, a rice pudding place in New York City’s East Village:
The sign reads:
Help Wanted
Start a career in the fascinating, fast-paced lucrative pudding business
- Long hard hours
- Very low pay
- Lots of heavy lifting
- Work for a ball-busting asshole
- Dead-end job
- No benefits
- No advancement
- Must be college grad
Start immediately
It’s attention getting; Allen says that he saw a number of people read the sign and as a result step into the store. There’s more in his blog entry about the sign.
I wonder how many people read it and thought “Sounds great! Where do I sign up?”
I don’t normally vandalize signs, but I’d make an exception for this special case:
Stefan Arentz, a co-member of HacklabTO, sent me the photo. He says that it was put up by a Dutch cafe owner to ban accordion-playing gypsies.

Type Nesting
Type Nesting is a site that’s focused on a single topic: photos of birds nesting in the letters of signs. They really seem to like uppercase As and Rs.
Perhaps if they’d given the night another name, it might have turned out differently:
I have no idea what bar this sign is for. I just ran across this picture here and thought it was too good not to share.
(I hear every Monday is Shitfaced Monday over at David Crow’s house.)
