Are those dance steps on Exhibit B?
The inmate shuffle…

I can only imagine the kind of blind, seething, flushed-diaper-filled-with-green-slime rage which drove the author of #3 to use Screenbeans AND Comic Sans.
Homeboy is PISSED.

Clicking heels over parole? I’d have used a happy dog on a stiff leash!

In the interest of saying it before someone else does, I guess technically I don’t live “in” DC. Were that paper not up on the door, however, I could see across the street into DC. I live one block over the border and in a state, hence having a Sheriff’s dept. I don’t know if DC does.

I’m glad the apartment owners scheduled the evictions before the long weekend, so everyone has plenty of time to find a place on the streets before the government workers come back on Tuesday!

Comic Sans make Hulk ANGRY! Make Hulk want to SMASH! (or at minimum, put a lit cannonball down the toilet.)
Incidentally, do you think the cartoon figure is confused that the cannonball is supposed to represent an allergy to feminine hygiene products?

Apparently bombs are okay with the septic system – as long as they are not sanitary.
What do you people have against Comic Sans? It’s no better or worse than other fonts. Granted, Comic Sans makes it hard to take a message seriously, so it’s sort of like shuffling your feet and saying “Not that anyone wants to hear what I have to say, but ….”
Oh never mind, I guess I just answered my own question. Comic Sans is the perfect passive-aggressive font.

Okay, in hindsight a stick of dynamite was NOT the best tampon substitute, but it’s the right shape and does have a string…. What? Like Aunt Flo hasn’t ever caught YOU by surprise…

I’ve gotta be honest, my eviction parties beat the fuck out of my Superbowl parties.
We always know the winner in advance, so we can concentrate on getting drunk!

I actually kind of like these examples–they show a wicked and warped sense of humor.

You know what you do at an eviction party, right?
You run laps around the property that is soon-to-be-empty, clicking your heels every few steps or so.
Then, you throw blood-stained bombs onto the roof of the property.
If the property is a ground-floor apartment, you have even more fun!
A finger-licking good time to be had by all.

Walker, "Tex" (a stranger)
Totally wasted opportunity: If I’d have designed that Parole Dates sign I would have used the Monopoly guy from the “Get out of jail free” card.

Now I’m dying to know what people are supposed to submit before the sheriff shows up for the evictions. Pleas for leniency? Death threats? Information about the neighbors?

In the right hands, the sanitary pad is a beneficent tool for progress & good.
… but in the wrong hands— as dangerous as a TICKING TIME BOMB!

I finally figured out the clipart. The screen bean is MacGyver trying to figure out how to defuse the bomb he accidentally made out of a used tampon, three sanitary napkins and some allergy medication.

In the 3rd pic, the guy pissing on the bomb sure has a huge . . . er, fuse . . . doesn’t he?
