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

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. . .

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?

andrewgabrielrose: Are you not familiar with the popular 90's hit song by MC Hammer?
Posted 43 months ago. ( permalink )

snowdeal says:

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.

hey, may i please copy paste that so i could use it in a game called counter-strike??

its just for a spray logo thing, you hit a key and it sprays the exact image you want onto the wall and that would be the funniest thing in the world to have!
