Hammertime

    I saw this as I pulled into work this morning and it made me giggle. I'm not sure how long it has been there, but I only noticed it today.

    Brings back all those memories of buying cassette singles (cuz I was po') back in the early 90's...

    Fresh new kicks and pants
    You got it like that now you know you wanna dance
    So move out of your seat
    And get a fly girl and catch this beat
    While it's rollin' hold on pump a little bit
    And let me know it's going on like that like that
    Cold on a mission so follow back
    Let 'em know that you're too much
    And this is a group (uh) U can't touch

      That song was the official song of my 3d modeling class...one of my students was always playing it on his computer.

      I chuckled when I saw the sign. I let go of a gut buster when I read Snowdeals response.

      You're funny SD. :)

      Must go deface all the of the kemp stops signs with this now.

      Actually.. given the amount of country hicks in this town I doubt many people would get it. Probably would be a waste of my time.

      The stop and hammertime conjured up vanilla ice instead of Hammer. Oddly enough.

      Alright, Stop, Collaborate and listen
      Ice is back with brand new invention
      Something grabs a hold of you tightly,
      flow like a harpoon daily and nightly.
      Will it ever stop? Yo, I don't know.
      Turn off the lights and I glow.
      To the extreme I rock a mic like a vandal
      Light up a stage and wax a chump like a candle.

      Yeah, I typed that from memory. It's sad. What's worse is that I could keep going. . .

      How do we know this wasn't done with Photoshop? Its actually kind of hard to tell...

      I guess you'll have to lie awake at night wondering... ;)

    15. Aiko Heiwa (84 months ago | reply)

      No, it wasn't done with photoshop; I can guarantee it.

    25. Afroswede (80 months ago | reply)

      Mayhap "Hammertime" will spread to stop signs across the country. ;)

    26. DFWDavis (78 months ago | reply)

      heh. the photoshop comments. its real. i know the "artist" who did it.

    27. andrewgabrielrose (78 months ago | reply)

      Saw the same phrase on a stop sign in my town in 1994. Was done with a fat black permanent marker. Since then I've seen it on stop signs around the country, usually stenciled. What does it mean?

    28. Afroswede (78 months ago | reply)

      andrewgabrielrose: Are you not familiar with the popular 90's hit song by MC Hammer?

    29. snowdeal (78 months ago | reply)

      the Always Accurate wikipedia wikipedia has acomprehensive listing of the various contexts that "hammertime" has appeared over the years. maybe someone should edit the page to include this stop sign phenomenon since the doppleganger photo to this shot is now in the top ten results for stop happertime.

    30. Afroswede (78 months ago | reply)

      Hehe, that little sign sure gets around. The original tagger must be proud.
