New Shop

[vroongraphics]

ummm...what ever happened to "Love Jill" at the end? That was great, Jill!

If you made that up on the fly, you should start writing for bands....

And the Dr. Seuss comment was lame...kudos to the girl who put thought into a response rather than criticism...

A New Shop?
A Sign Shop?
A Blue Shop?
A Wine Shop?

I Think The Material You Want Is Lexan
You Can Get It From A Texan
One Of The Sellers
Is Named Frank Fellers
Saying He's Texan Was Kind Of Hokey,
I Think, In Fact, He Is An Okie
~That Was Just A Little Jokie~

But Then Again It Could Be Polycarbonate
This Is A Material I Have Grown To Hate
I See These Faces
In Many Places

Some Are Cans
With Faces Like Pans
Others Are Pressed
Not Always The Best
Some Are Flat
Some Are Matte

Some Get Broken
With Rocks Thrown By Tokin
Hoodlums Who Like Smokin

Translucent Vinyl Is Used For The Words
Make Sure Your Plotter Is Not For The Birds
Or A Cheap Ebay One That Can't Polish Turds

You Cut It All Out, Weed It, Apply Masking
A Signmaker's Job Consists Of Multi-Tasking
Soon In Money You Will Be A-Basking
You Just Need To Find A Better Way Of Asking

Your Questions Are Vague
Like A Pain In The Leg
We Won't Force You To Beg

Opening A Sign Shop Can Be Quite Jolly
But Without Having A Clue It Can Be A Folly
You May Be Better Off Buying Hornrims, And Impersonating Buddy Holly

This is going up on the wall of my shop! LOL:ROFLMAO: An Ode To The New Sign Shop Owner

 

[Jillbeans]

You Can Print On Tees
You Can Print on Boxes
Making Calvin Pees
Or Racing Foxes

Plot Lots Of Stickers
For Very Little Money
Drink Lots of Liquors
The Sign Biz Can Be Funny

You Want A Sample?
Of Those There Are Ample
Just Call A Supplier
And Ask For A Flyer

What Kind Of Things?
I Could Post Up A Link
Eyeballs With Wings?
A Smelly Rat Fink?

You Will Also Need Vinyl
Avoid Avery, Pal
All Sales Are Final
Try 3M or Oracal

You Will Need To Learn Layout
And Especially Kerning
Avoid Fonts That Are Played Out
And Effects Like Fire Burning

Another Thing Is Prices
Know What To Charge
Pay Off Those Devices
Both Small And Large

Signs Are A Game
Anyone Can Play
Win Instant Fame
Sell On Ebay

It's So Very Simple
No Knowledge Is Needed
Like Popping A Pimple
It's Designed, Cut, And Weeded

Another Thing Perhaps
To Make Your Signs Better
Is to Stop Using Caps
On Every First Letter

Anyone think that someone is trying to "play" you here?

the sad thing is how many times I've been sure that nobody is that dense & it must be a gag... and then it turns out some clueless noob gets his feelings hurt & I feel like a bully... when I really just wanted to be the first suspicious one to smell a rat, and not get snowed... so now I trust the sincerity, even when I'm amazed at the ... umm... well, you get the idea
