What's your sign?

3 signs — seen yesterday on State Street — bespeak 3 quite distinct frames of mind. What's your sign?

1. Believing in basketball...

2. Coffee and sado-masochism...

3. Wistful robot with a blue flower...

Looks like a pinwheel to me.

I happen to have a keyword signs in my flickr stream.

Probably thousands.

Coffee and sado-masochism must be quite the combo. All it takes is dumping hot steaming coffee on your crotch.

Signs? We don't need no stinking signs, man.

If that coffee shop really wanted to evoke Fifty Shades of Grey the barista would see you when he's good and ready, and not before.

So sit down and shut up.

I don't get the conflation of Badger basketball with the Police Museum, especially in the wake of that shooting incident.

As for the Badgers themselves, the moment of truth approacheth.

The vampire is another vexing incongruity.

How do we know that that's a man in shorts?

The last image suggests that perhaps Ann is softening in her attitude toward our robotic peers? I look forward to the day she does away with the (obviously discriminatory) requirement that one must prove that "i'm not a robot" as a condition to post on this website.

Yeah, those are very slim ankles.

My malaprop cousin, who was studying to be a practical nurse, once asked me my (astrological) sign, to which I replied, "Libra" and asked for her sign. She responded with the first thing that came to her mind, "Faeces." To this day, when anyone asks my sign, I respond "Faeces."

At least the Madison Police don't need target practice. One shot did the job, like it did in all 635 opening scenes of Gunsmoke.

I do wonder why the Death Panel lovers get so angry when a suicide by police occurs. I guess they are pretending to be angry to get themselves on reality TV.

(1) At halftime it looks as though Purdue wants the Big Ten championship more than Wisconsin does.

(2) I assume the patrons are supposed to be stripped, tied up, and blindfolded to drink their lattes?

(3) Real robots look nothing like that. They look like someone who can deceive eCAPTCHA on a regular basis.

Robots aren't funny.

Do they pour hot coffee on you after you order?
