Still spreading the Good Word

Some Signs From Yesterday

Note to America: Next time you feel like voting for the guy you’d rather drink beer with, do us all a favor and write in the name of the guy you actually drink beer with.

Have you ever been so angry with the lies and propaganda that you want to make yourself heard. Well, my intreid compadre, The Scarlet Pimpernel has been making himself heard (or, in his case, seen) up and down the West Coast, and more recently in the San Francisco Bay Area. His messages are seen by thousands of commuters on a daily basis, and he’s still going strong.

SP’s latest work is some of his finest to date, and it’s not as if he’s operating with much of a budget. Using $.35 worth of material, about 45 minutes of his time, some bungee cords, and an overhead projector, SP is able to create a masterpiece that will be seen by thousands who travel the Bay Area’s freeways. OK, so the signs eventually get taken down, but it’s not as if they’re tough or expensive to replace.

Some of us piss and moan about our current state of affairs. The Scarlet Pimpernel is taking action. Perhaps nothing will change, but if nothing else, he’s making people think…something that is too often in short supply these days.

A TPRS tip o’ the hat goes out to The Scarlet Pimpernel…wherever he may be. Keep up the good work, kimosabe! Perhaps someday when I’m in the Bay Area, I’ll buy you a beer or six.
