Do you ever wonder what life would be like if you had been born 100 years before? 20 years before? Even one year before? I mean, even one year would mean you would have been with that cooler senior class - you might have had an inspiring teacher in calculus instead of that scary old lady who made you swear off mathematics after your junior year - you might been stepped on by a dinosaur when you were ten (oh, wait a minute, that WAS when I was ten).

You've got to see "Wristcutters: A Love Story" Totally weird movie, but one of the characters is obsessed with signs.
You are getting some kind of compensation of this professional-level yard sale sign making, right? Anything you want from the 10 cent pile. No? Girl, you got robbed.
