I don't know if you read Iain Banks (cheesy, yet sweeping, space opera), but this has left me all day thinking that your full name should be Called-To-Fabulous-From-Brilliant Philosophical-Doctor-of-Motherfucking-English ElviouslyQueer

There was a jackass that put up a "No Mo Bama" sign on his land at the bottom of the hill that leads up to Groveland (where I live) before the 2012 election.

Every time I drove past it, I thought about spray paint, but I also thought that an even better outcome would be for it to be useless. He left it up long enough after the election that I was beginning to think a discreet "Ha Ha Ha" might be appropriate, but eventually he took it down.
