Brain drops IV: Road Sign Edition

August 1st, 2010 by Joel Leave a reply »

Riding a bicycle through Europe allows you to check out a lot of small towns that you can’t easily see any other way. And along the way, you find some pretty unique road signs.Here are my interpretations of some odd graphics.

P1010540

Caution: Marge Simpson Riding Train

P1010542

1920s Railway Laborer Ahead

P1010538

The street may be called Pispot, but I hear it’s actually a shithole.

P1010518-1

Is this called Rue de la Vignette because the buildings are made up of short stories?

P1010535

Donk: Please watch your head.

P1010539

And the award for Random Attraction of the Year goes to: The Canada Museum in the middle of a small town in Belgium

P1010583

Isn’t a double negative grammatically incorrect? I can only interpret this as “End of the Zone you can do nothing in.”

P1010584

Apparently parking meters accept poker chips in this area.

P1010633

Watch for Spontaneous Xanadu Re-enactments

    You know theres a reason why there is a Canadian museum in Belgium, in fact there is land in Belgium that is technically Canadian – maybe you should visit…

      Interesting – sadly I’m already a few hundred miles south of there! Too bad because there’s got to be a good story in there.

      One of the things I’m discovering is that I’d love to have a week in each and every little town I’m passing through on the bike. Sadly, I don’t have that kind of time on this go-round. The visa clock’s a-tickin!

    The best is the sign under Donk…. Krachtbal (English translation = Crotch Ball).
