    My brother in arms! lol

    Was just having a conversation last week when the subject of roadside billboards came up, the other guy says to me that he reads every single one of them when he’s driving. I tell him when I look at billboards the only think I think about is how much fun it would be to cut them down and set them on fire. Dude looked at me like I had a dick growing out of my forehead.

      I live in the lovely state of Vermont where billboards are fucking illegal. 😍

          If you can handle long frigid winters, short and surprisingly uncomfortable summers, class 4 roads, “mud season”, and a lack of services like Uber unless you’re in Burlington, bad low paying job opportunities…

          Yes. Yes it is.

          It’s lovely but it’s work.

      I can’t say that I can agree with you more.

      A new bright as FUCK billboard was put up on a frequent road I travel. I want it GONE and the people responsible for it to just die.

      It’s seriously a hazard at night…

      So, when we drive up to Georgia or South Carolina from Florida, there’s a point on I-75 where the Jesus billboards come out. Many of them are the usual “Babies have heartbeats” variety, but there’s also the following:

      • “Have you decided yet … Jesus” which we always render in an exasperated voice, aka “OMG have you decided yet? Jesus!”
      • “Go ahead, let go. I’ll catch you - Jesus” which we always respond to with “WTF Jesus just reach down and grab me, you’re RIGHT THERE!”
      • “Jesus is in control” with mysterious Russian tanks and American soldiers.
      • Zombies and Jesus for … reasons.
