Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Sign needed for the VCF Museum. ;-)
Just so you know, we used to have this sign up in the museum, in the early days of it. I guess at some point it was taken down. I think Jeff Jonas put it up but that was 15 years ago maybe. WHo knows where it is now. Bill On Tue, Aug 22, 2023 at 3:19 PM Sentrytv via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

----------- DANGER! All tourists and non-technical lookenspeepers! The computer machine is not for the gefingerpoken and digging in the middle! Oderwise is easy to snatch the jumping work, blowenfusen and poppencorken with top sparks. It's not for fools. The rubber neck sightseers must keep the cotton picking hands in the pockets. So relax and waddle the flashing lights. --------------

We have it up now, and I'm thinking it would be cool to have some way to expose a translation for those that don't get it. Electronic with a pushbutton to flip to the translation? Mechanical frame that you pull down a cord to see the translation? Ideas?

It was written in fake German, it was understood by anyone who reads English. I am sure Jeff Jonas has a copy or can get it. Bill On Mon, Jan 29, 2024 at 11:23 AM Douglas Crawford via vcf-midatlantic < vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> wrote:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blinkenlights My 2 cents: I'd consider taking it down. I have not seen the version posted at InfoAge, but many versions insinuate that people can have "cottonpicken hands", or is a "dumbkopf" (dumbhead) Humor does not always work with a diverse audience. -----Original Message----- From: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic-bounces@lists.vcfed.org> On Behalf Of Bill Degnan via vcf-midatlantic Sent: Monday, January 29, 2024 11:52 AM To: vcf-midatlantic <vcf-midatlantic@lists.vcfed.org> Cc: Bill Degnan <billdegnan@gmail.com> Subject: [EXTERNAL] Re: [vcf-midatlantic] Sign needed for the VCF Museum. ;-) It was written in fake German, it was understood by anyone who reads English.
