Remember: the laws of physics are not to be trifled with. Got that, Pigs Boson?

I had to reread that note like 4 times. I could not figure out why in the world they would call the police on someone for practicing a mathematical theory on an elevator. I was really wondering if there are laws against that! I got it now, though.

This vicious circle repeats sadly in impoverished neighborhoods
where the cops can’t even afford patrol cars.
Little pigs (and kids, too) try to educate themselves away by embracing the radian
ces of mathematics, only to be reeled in by authority figures who overreach their ambit.Jun 9, 2010 at 5:34 pm rating: 13

Yes, making pies on an elevator is just wrong. But not as wrong as flaming towels.

The sentence structure on the super’s note makes me wonder if it was originally composed in another language, and then hastily translated via Babelfish.
If I’m right, that just makes the hand-lettered, duct-taped construction even more badass.

If Radisson would use elevator music more like Bowie’s Space Oddity and less like The Dovells’ Bristol Stomp or Danny and The Juniors’ At the Hop
…well, just do the math.
Smokey, this is not Nam. This is time travel. There are rules.

Calling the pigs on the pigs? Oh, the absurdity.

So, the Radisson attracts the type of people who trifle with the laws of physics? What an interesting lobby they must have…people who levitate…parallel universes…hoppers abounding. Book my room NOW!

Oh come on! All those highs schoolers on class trips HAVE to hop the moment the elevator stops! It’s a rite of passage and I have great memories trifling with the laws of physics.

I don’t get it–why does the super need to wait til “next time”? ‘Cause once someone starts to pi…

Those pigs are geniuses- I don’t know and have not heard of any others who know what pi is …….

Well you can go on indefinitely right? Ask just about any human and you’ll only get three decimal places!!

Is there a special unit with the police that takes care of pigs? Wait I thought the police were called “pigs” by some…. this is confusing!!

OMG, who pees on an elevator? And who “hops” on an elevator? And why? I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody hop (or pee)…is that common elevator behaviour?

The laws of physics…not to be trifled with indeed.
They’re also subtle and quick to anger, are never late, nor are they early; they arrive precisely when they mean to.
Oh no wait that’s wizards. My bad.

Ohhhh… PEE…. I kept wondering what the hell π had to do with anything and why they were referring to cops twice.

The manufacturer of the elevator is from Mayberry.
Everyone knows Otis gets pissy drunk, but there’s no need to take Andy or Barney to his house.
He always turns himself in after his third sail is hoisted.

What kind of a person, male or female, feeds their pigs pi on an elevator?
Sloppy, very sloppy.

You canna’ change the laws of physics, Radisson guests! If you keep hoppin’ on that elevator, she won’t be able to take much more! The panel is bypassed like a Christmas tree, so don’t give me too many bumps. Repairs could take weeks.

Super Duct Tape Man,
Please let me know what time you will be bringing the police to my house so I can fill the troughs with some fresh decimal places.

Presumably the jumping on the elevator thing are a bunch of kids. If the elevator can actually be broken by kids jumping up adn down on elevators, then maybe you needed new elevators anyway.

Don’t bother me, I am busy telling the laws of physics to sit down and shut up.

That Radisson signage is great. One of my favorite memories as an young punk is when my cousin and I visited San Diego, stayed at a Radisson with two elevators and, after just a few ‘races’ to see who could get to the upper floor first, put one of the elevators out of order. Good times!

I don’t like the way the first guy glosses himself as “Super.” What, he thinks he’s better than me?
