Here’s your sign
Found a picture on the Internet the other day, and it made me think of you. Well, kinda. Let me explain.
Here’s the part of that image that was of most interest:
[Click the image to see the full original, in context, apparently in the window of a shop in Idaho Springs, Colorado.]
Now you see why I thought of you.
No, I’m not calling you a hippie. I thought of you, because I thought this is a sign that you could use. Or, that we could use here at IMAO.
So, I’m asking you: How could we use this sign at IMAO? Or, how could you use this sign? What do you think, sirs?

I have this sign sitting on the mantle of my fireplace. My brother bought it for my some place – I think at some museum gift shop in D.C.
I like the sign almost as much as my “I ♣ hippies” t-shirt.

Have it link to the whitehouse dot gov

Here’s the side door:

As they say, never hit anyone in the face with your fist.
While it can be hilarious, I would suggest you use the sign so you don’t break your hand.

I don’t think IMAO has a side door, Basil. But you, of all people, would know if it has a back door!

There is no appropriate door through which a hippie should be encouraged to enter your establishment.

@6 – what if your establishment sells side-door shotgun-boobie-traps?

Perfect for redirecting them to the Dumpster. Too bad they’re not bright enough to just climb in.
February 27th, 2013 at 12:28 pm
It’s so obviously a way to Rickroll them.

Either that or work on a program that will punch you in the face if you click on the sign.
February 27th, 2013 at 12:30 pm
Why limit ourselves? Both!

Hippie opens side door and finds…

@7 – but according to Seth McFarlane, we’ve seen all their boobies already.
February 27th, 2013 at 2:53 pm
@Jimmy, eew, hippie boobies.
The most fun is when they get to a picture of the side door, a sign tells them to use the other door. There are consequences. I now have a mass group of hippies wandering around looking for the other door. The stench is starting to overcome the pleasant morgue odor.

Post it on a building containing two storefronts:
Front door = Barbeque
Side Door = Barber queue
February 27th, 2013 at 3:10 pm
Or post it on one of the long outside walls of a car wash.
February 27th, 2013 at 4:08 pm
Post it where there is no side door, of course.
February 27th, 2013 at 4:09 pm
It should be posted on the masthead of this site…To the right (of course) of the IMAO logo.
February 27th, 2013 at 4:19 pm
Harvey, please don’t forget us ma’ams (babes, dolls, skirts et al) All I’d like to add is “Hippies use side door…….Don’t let the screen door hit you on the way out.”
Or “Hippies use side door…………to the bath house”.
Either could be posted as a second banner under the “Unfair, unbalanced, unmedicated.”
February 27th, 2013 at 4:24 pm
@19 – Are you kidding? Ma’ams are all I think about (former sailor, goes with the territory
Anyway, this was Basil’s post, and “what do you think, sirs” is an MST3K reference.
February 27th, 2013 at 5:06 pm
Harvey, it just goes to show that when I don’t act like a know-it-all smartass and instead act all polite they think I’m you.
(Then again, there is the behind-the-scenes story behind the origins of this post that actually says it all.)
February 28th, 2013 at 10:28 am
Wait! Basil and Harvey are real?!
February 28th, 2013 at 10:30 am
@22 – No one’s saying that. Let’s not start indulging in crazy conspiracy theories…
