tubby

There's two things we can learn from this sign:
1. Don't cheat the system. The system being that you should either donate your clothes to a charity, or hold a yard sale- even if you are giving the items away for free. But if you leave them in 'tubs' on the sidewalk you should clearly not be surprised if the tubs disappear, even if you did leave a sign. I mean, c'mon. Really? What did you think was going to happen? Someone who wanted free clothing was going to walk around with their own tub, looking for random vats of clothing on the sidewalk? Did you think about how they would get their new goods home? No. You didn't. You were so obsessed with how great you are for putting free clothes out and not having to schlep to the Salvation Army, that you really didn't think about the receiver of the clothes at all, even though you're trying to pretend like you did. But lets just be honest. You were being selfish. You wanted that crap out of your basement, and you didn't want to take the trouble to drive to donate them. So they took your tubs? Serves you right.
Oh, and the other thing we can learn from this sign? It really is worth the time to pencil that text out to ensure the spacing looks good. If you had done that, you wouldn't have those little mini words on angles, and you wouldn't have the crappy lowercase afterthought in the lower right corner. I didn't take your tubs, but if I did, that sign certainly wouldn't convince me to return them. I'd just leave them on the street with a sign for free tubs.

vote obama and not the gop because: fear.* Look, I'm sure I'm not telling you anything you didn't already know, but Obama is not a terrorist. But for some reason the republican party has members that don't believe that. So Sarah Pukin' Palin is running around in circles yelling at the top of her lungs "who IS Barak Obama?? WHO IS HE?? We've only had the past 21+ months to get to know him! We should know who he associates with!" Well, let me help you out here, SP. But, let me start by asking: Who the fuck are YOU? No one had ever even heard of you until McCain plucked you out of the snow as a mercy measure to beg for women's votes. (And by the way, it didn't work because anyone that would vote for her just because she's a woman, would not have voted for Obama anyway. And anyone that would vote for her because of her experience and background, well, how about you just sit on the couch that Tuesday? We'll all be better off if you do.) But lets get back to the issue. So Obama sat a school board with a guy that has a shady background. Let me say that again. Obama sat on a school board with a guy who has a shady background. Did you get that? No, not the shady background part. The school board part! Obama was on a school board! Hey SP, have you ever been on a school board? No? What? There's only one school where you come from, and they don't have a board? Oh. I'm going to break this down for ya, SP. You see, Obama has done stuff. And when you do stuff, you meet people. All kinds of people, and that's a good thing. Once I took a tour of the Harvard Medical Research Labs and I met Dr. Hubel, a nobel prize winner. Really nice guy, but the point is that you don't know anyone with shady backgrounds (except your own family) because YOU HAVEN'T DONE ANYTHING! But now that you're running for VP, you've met a lot of people, and I'm willing to bet that a lot of them have super shady backgrounds. I can tell because they go on national television and accuse an honest citizen of these Unites States, who also happens to be running for president, of being a terrorist! And that is just ridiculous. These are the people you represent? These are your supporters? Well, well, well. Now who has the shady associations?
