Hammer the vandal

I've always made fun of everything and anything. I would always modify signs to make them say something dirty. I was pretty good at it. If I was born 100 years ago I would be that guy drawing mustaches on posted signs.

One place I lived there was a bus bench advertising for some court Judge named Mc Manus. It had a big picture of the old smiling idiot right outside my front window. I was really sick of seeing that grinning asshole every day staring at me ...mocking me. So I took some glue and green paper that matched the bench, slapped it over the "M" and McManus became Mc Anus.

I laughed at my handy work every time I looked across the street. My modification was not appreciated by everyone however, and the sign would be quickly replaced. I immediately fixed it back my way. This one poor lady who worked for the Judge had to stake out the bus bench for several hours in the vacant lot to see who was vandalizing poor Mr Mc Anus. When she fell asleep in her car and I nonchalantly slapped my modification back onto the bench and changed her campaign bumper sticker as well.

When she woke up she was really really pissed off and immediately called the cops. She raised hell and demanded they fingerprint the bench. The cops really didn't care but since Mc Anus was a judge they humored her. Of course, I never left any prints. They finally gave up and replaced the bench with a picture of some hot chick running for county clerk...much better.


Here are a few of the places I used to frequent.

I always like Dairy Queer - maybe that says something about me. The judge sounds like a self important shit bag!

I like to do that also. And change the wording in songs.

Nothing could be finer than to be in Carolina in the morning......

Nothing could be sweeter than to put my peter in her in the morning....

He, he, he.

you could have drawn a beard on the campaign manager while she was sleeping. That would have been really funny

Now THAT, Mr. Hammer, is good wholesome mischief!

Incidentally, I have a picture of a stop sign where somebody painted "hammertime" underneath where it said Stop.

I know you frequent the same photo sites scouring for funnies as I do, so I wonder if you've seen it?

Dairy Queen is already kind of bad to begin with, isn't it? ;)

You were/are far more creative than anyone I hung with - we only stole signs.

mutleythedog: I tried to find a picture of Mc Anus for the post I'm kind of glad I didn't.

Dave: When inspired I could do some good ones.

BBC: I do songs too. It's hard to make it funny unless I can sing it though.

choo choo: she already had a beard
I guess I could have shaved her. ;)

Dr alistair: I wish I could remember half the stuff I messed with.

Burfica: yeah we had a name for every place in town. It was fun and silly.

Scott: I was never malicious with my pranks, but they had to be at least funny to me. I'd like to see that sign. I'd probably add it to this site.

Steven: Yeah, but I wanted to make sure everyone knew there was spooge in the peanut buster parfait

annie: Thanks!

Jeannie: My uncles and cousins stole signs. I didn't have the nerve. Although I really wanted one of those saw horses with the flashing yellow light.

Dan: I was tempted to blacken a couple of teeth on the new advert sign but never did.


Brandon: I guess they finally got tired of replacing it come to think of it I bet they blamed the other judge's campaign. now that's even funnier.

James Burnett: As long as they deliver ;)

Kirsten: Not it the authorites are asking ;)

Hahaha! I love seeing those changed signs - mostly anyway - sometimes they're just lame! One of the Youths I worked with once changed a whole sentence I'd written on the board - wish I could remember it now, but it was VERY clever and VERY funny!!

I re-wrote a verse or two of that TERRIBLE Barry Manilow song, "Mandy" to "Randy"....
"Oh Randy, well you came and you came without faking, 'cos you're such a good lay...." etc. We performed it too! (in a bad-taste contest)
That wasn't like me AT ALL! But it was kinda fun ;)
