Nice to see Los Angeles still has some respect for property rights.

I don't think those have names. I know Québec prefers stamping that info on the back.

USFS refers to such things on their signs as a "credit line".

They're actually called TACMARs.

I believe the most common term for those sorts of things—and this doesn't apply just to road signs—is "words."
"You know, you never have a guaranteed spot until you have a spot guaranteed."

commenting on the Capitals clinching a playoff spot.

"That sounded stupid, didn't it?"
—Kolzig, to the same reporter a few seconds later.

Wow, the slime mold has spread to more websites, though just duplicated.

I certainly hope the originator got the healthcare they'd hoped for and wasn't airlifted to a secret FEMA detention center / data center / salad dressing factory / salt dome.
