Walking home from work yesterday, I noticed that not only had someone’s dog crapped next to the sidewalk, but that someone had taken the time to create a little hand-lettered sign pasted to a popsicle stick that said “I miss your Ring-Ding eyes more than your Pixie Stick lips.”
Which they had stuck IN THE POOP.
The best part? I stood there debating whether to take a picture of it. You know, for the blog. Because a crazy sign stuck in poop is totally what everyone comes to a knitting blog hoping to see.
I finally decided I didn’t want to be Crazy Poop Lady trying to take a cell phone picture OF POOP in fading light on a busy sidewalk.
It was a near thing, though.

It just boggles the mind.
Wait, so why am I thanking you? Because now I'm thinking that I've never wished I could see a picture of poop more....
Seriously. I want to see the poop.
All I can say is "Ewwwwwww....."
I just threw up a little bit in my mouth. Nevertheless, that is some interesting story.
I'm with Kristy. Next time take the picture of the poop. It's blogworthy.
To poop or not to poop, that is the question? We would have been okay with the poop . . . . but I guess we're probably glad to go without. :)
Well I for one wish you had taken the picture. So... you know... if that ever happens again, you know you have one reader who would love to see it.
Okay, I loved this story so much that I was talking about it today with my hair stylist, and she said that once she came across a pile of poop in which someone had stuck a tiny little American flag with a picture of Dubya on it. So -- how many people are out there sticking things in poo?? Seriously?! Has it always been, or is this the next big thing? I was temped to google "poop signs", but was afraid of what would turn up.
Okay, thanks to Quinn, I googled "Poop Signs" - someone had to do it! Unfortunately I did not get the satisfaction I so craved, it was all about cleaning up after your pooch. I still think this happens far more than we know - maybe there's a secret poop sign website somewhere where dog owners everwhere express themselves openly through their pet's poo....
Okay, newly emboldened by Kelley, I googled “signs in dog poop.” The anti-smoking “Truth” people did a campaign based on poo signage awhile back, and it showed on TV. Maybe it helped spread the idea . . .
I would have totally been crazy lady photographing poop on sidewalk. Seriously, I think I have the brain of a 9 year old boy sometimes... :)
I once photographed an empty box on the sidewalk that said "Wee Wee Pads". Because it said Wee Wee Pads. :)
Love the story, and, incidentally, HI!!! How the hell are you!?
love, katy (kwtierney@gmail.com)
I do thank you, because that is what made the dog poop decorated with a poem attached to a popsicle stick stand out all the more. Gah.
