Its scary to think that I would be 95 years old and driving my vintage 50 year old 2014 Mustang GT 6 speed manual in 2064.....

Wow, you're optimistic!

A lot of the images are broken though.

Well, there went my productivity at work today...

I think it's safe to say that reading that thread at work is not a good idea.  I had a hard time stifling my laughter.

Actually, I gave up after a few pages, skipped to the last one, and didn't really find more than one or two posts particularly funny.  It certainly ain't no A.lanland (where double negatives are required in all situations).

I have to be. The minute I quit, I'm dead.

It's more amusing if you keep thinking about the capital punishment in the back of your mind with every single post.  Although it doesn't need to be in the back of your mind when you're reading the post about the nightclub owner that was burned at the stake.  And that one was by the OP!

Listening to one of the DUI attorney commercials on the radio today, I thought "if you get arrested by the road, be glad you're not in the Perkins Union where the officer will blow your brains out for all the passing motorists to see".

Many of his signs are viewable through the documents he posted via his OneDrive (then called SkyDrive). The links start on page 6 (but several on this page, namely the first few, seem to be broken).

You'll need the Roadgeek 2005 fonts installed. Not using the font is punishable by death, I assume.

This will probably get me the electric chair, but here's some of PU's law-related signage:

I actually like some of them so it's not in the fore for me.

They're composed well as images, but the penalties are far out of line with the severity of the crimes. The vast majority of the time, nothing bad will happen if you blow by a pulled-over cop car at 70 mph, certainly nothing warranting prison.

I wonder what the penalty is for using a runaway truck ramp when not a runaway truck. Why were so many people using them that it had to be STRICTLY prohibited, anyhow?

Yeah, a factory owner was also burned at the stake in another incident. Also the entire town not knowing they built their football field on an active volcano was very Alanlandish. But after page 5 or so it was pretty much just signage.

In fairness, that is not impossible - there was a case when volcano literally grew up in the middle of a field within hours.

I strongly suspect that that's what inspired the OP in the Perkins Union thread in the first place.

Yeah, same with the nightclub incident.

Wasn't sure where to post this, so here it is.

If you google "What is Alanland", Google gives you an answer from AARoads.  I want to try this with "Hey Google".

alanland is a place where people do not go out and work and leave home when they become an adult. Every day is a winding road, you just got to get used to it. Feb 27, 2015

Ha! That's great! I tried the "Hey Google" thing with my phone, and it reads it out just like in Google Search. But it does pronounce "Alanland" as "uh-LAN-land".

Still trying to figure out who dropped the "winding road" comment. Sheryl Crow?

That's part of someone's forum signature here. Why Google relates that to Alanland, though, I can't answer...

Oh, I see it now, under roadman65's post. I guess the algorithm needs some work!

It depends on what falls out of your vehicle during the traffic stop.

Whoops...is that your sliced durian?
