At this point “change the default password” advice is pretty old news. Similarly, pranks when people don’t do so are also a little tired – there’s a whole gallery of altered signs accompanying an article on the web indicating what the default password is over here. NBC4 has a shot here of a roadsign sign that’s been tampered with here in our area and made to say things that VDOT probably doesn’t normally say to the public. I mean, maybe in Manassas but not on the GW Parkway!
More interesting to me, though, is the parts of the image NBC blurred out. Okay, F*** I get why you redact that. B***SACK? Is ‘ballsack’ really censor-worthy?
Well I used to say something in my profile about not quite being a “tinker, tailor, soldier, or spy” but Tom stole that for our about us page, so I guess I’ll have to find another way to express that I am a man of many interests.
Hmm, guess I just did.
My tastes run the gamut from sophomoric to Shakespeare and in my “professional” life I’ve sold things, served beer, written software, and carried heavy objects… sometimes at the same place. It’s that range of loves and activities that makes it so easy for me to love DC – we’ve got it all.
Why is “F*** Tacos” making me giggle so much?
I think “FUCKTACOS” is going to be my new non-sequitur epithet of choice.
Nothing makes me laugh as much as the term ballsack.
The uncensored sign on is DCRTV
A reminder too, that the GW is maintained by the National Park Service, not VDOT.
