Cory DoctorowThe #TSA needs a new gag writer. I mean, it was one thing when they brought in full-body scanners called "#Rapiscan" but this is ridiculous.
Viss@pluralistic tsa is is own fart joke, heh

Grumble@pluralistic Theater, Security, Amateur. It's important to display fancy new gimmicks to keep the sheep docile. The pork to political donors and the ever-growing budget is a happy side-effect.

To Be Fair TBF..
It does describe how the decision was made on the vendor.
It's a non-sequitur if I've ever seen one.
WM2D F Lengyel@pluralistic This is right up their alley.
Max M. Miller@pluralistic I saw this in the Des Moines airport recently and bust out laughing. They have to know, right?

@pluralistic yeah they are a little too on the nose with this. Or maybe too on the butt.

Floon@pluralistic The company Analog Devices in Westwood, MA, more than once had the OG stolen off their sign. They would replace those letters, but they are forever lighter and newer than the rest of the sign, so it doesn't entirely help.

Peter Cohen@hteasley @pluralistic When I lived in Chelmsford I noticed that Canal Fuel in Lowell would have their C stolen on a regular basis.
🤷♂️ Maybe it's a Masshole thing.
Bill, organizer of stuff@hteasley @pluralistic oh yeah... I used to drive past this sign almost daily.
@wcbdata @pluralistic I may or may not have worked in an office park across the highway that had pairs of large steel O's and G's that one could find decorating the walls.
I would like to note that, if they were there, they were certainly there before I was hired.
🐍@hteasley @wcbdata @pluralistic I'll admit that when I saw this toot in isolation, I read the 'pairs of large steel O's and G's' as a reference to GOOGLE.
...and now I'm wondering if that's why they choose that spelling of that name: to steal them from the ANALOG signs, as a cost-cutting measure on buying letters. :P
Robert Cassidy@hteasley @pluralistic I’d like to think that out there is a multigenerational family that has no family story more powerful than ‘I stole the ‘o’ and ‘g’ just like my father and his father before him’. It’s not a widespread problem, just this one family that does it at every family gathering.
CaseyDunham@robert_cassidy @hteasley @pluralistic well. It is Mass. so it could be a whole community dedicated to this purpose.
Rufus J. Cooter@robert_cassidy @hteasley @pluralistic heh. Buddy of mine is from a town in rural WA; family's lived there for 5 generations
one of the roads in town is named after them, so a rite of passage for the young folk in the family is to get drunk & steal a street sign that bears their name
county ain't amused by this; they've repeatedly approached Uncle Charlie & offered to give them signs, free, if they'd stop stealing them.
"Nope."
