How was my weekend? How well do you know me? Take this quiz and find out!
- What was my friend’s response when I asked to borrow her tent for a weekend?
- Sorry, we’re using it when we climb Mt. Rainier this weekend.
- Sorry, we’re using it when we go to the biker rally this weekend.
- What do you want to do with it? You don’t camp.
- T or F: I led the 20th anniversary of the eruption website project four years ago, but this was my first trip to the Mt. St. Helens Monument
- True
- False
- When I coated myself in bug repellent to keep the mosquitos at bay, Aaron‘s response was:
- Damn, baby… that smells sexy!
- Good idea! Can I have some, too?
- How cute, baby – you smell like Pine-Sol!
- My attraction to signage comes from:
- Fascination with the many ways a message can be conveyed
- A desperate attempt to cling to civilization while roughing it
- A subconscious desire to produce a coffee table book about signs
- Camping is great because:
- You get to experience chipmunk mating season
- Everything tastes better when it is cooked over an open flame
- Despite popular belief, being out of technology range for a weekend won’t kill you
- I enjoyed the Ape Cave because:
- It was damned hot outside and a chilly 42 degrees in the cave
- It was fun to watch Aaron do his best Batman impression
- Listening to the shrieks and screeches of small children and babes in arms echoing off the walls of the cave is the most effective birth control I have ever encountered
- I will return to the Mt. St. Helens area again soon because:
- We were unsuccessful in channeling Harry Truman and would like to try again.
- I’m curious to see if the potato chips have different stories on the bags the next time I swing by the One Stop.
- I can’t get the “Sack Your Trash” song out of my head.
Scoring: For every question where you were dead certain of the answer, go out and buy yourself a drink. For every question you had to guess on, promise to do better next time.
I dig all the sign photos (esp. the Mountain Dew sign). I always take photos of crazy signs myself. My all-time favorite is on the right side of Hwy. 30 between St. Helens and Rainier. The sign on the front of the fairly small building reads:
Lindberg Grocery
Tanning & Toning
Saw Sharpening
Another favorite is a Washington highway sign that reads: “Litter and It Will Hurt.”
Isn’t it funny how rural areas in the NW always have a tanning bed someplace in town?
My favorite sign used to be the “Failing Pedestrian Bridge” sign on the overpass on I-5 when they were mid-reconstruction.
SOo I don’t win anything if I get them all right? What a gyp. =P
Glad you had a good trip!
Star Trek air freshener? I dare not ask what that smells like…great pics…:)
I think my all time favorite sign was from when I was living in Florida:
Warning
Smoke-Fog
ahead
We have another name for that in the West.
