Arsenal of Democracy: The Bungee Cord
Long bungee cord wrapped around pole.
Standard mounting technique.
I usually buy bungees at 99 cent stores for six, sometimes eight for a dollar: well worth it. The reason I use bungees and duct tape on fencing as opposed to zipties is simple: posting takes ten seconds instead of a minute or more. Simply place the sign against the fence, stretch the bungee across the back, duct tape the corners and you're gone. The speed of posting eliminates the need for getting up at four in the morning to do it... broad daylight's just fine. Long bungees work well for large signs or wrapping around posts like the one above: wrap the cord around the post, fasten the ends together and slide the cardboard underneath. You're done.

Ingenious! That will cut time in half at least. Good idea.

Just de-lurking to say I really enjoy this site.
That was really good idea man.
You are very creative. Keep it up.
Thank God you are the minority. Read the Butler Report before spreading your lies. When the Liberal MSM tells you that Bush is an alien from outer space, you'll be repeating it too. You Libs are a laugh.
RE: The War is a Lie
I agree, that we as Americans were lied to in a big way.
We were told there were WMD's (there were none). Then it became our goal to remove Saddam Hussein (done), which I believe was our primary goal all along. We have done the right thing, for the wrong reason, but what's done is done.
My question is: "Why are we still there????" We have toppled the Hussein regime, but we absolutely cannot force democracy on a population that doesn't want it! They know nothing about freedom and fairness. For many centuries, their politico-religious factions have been killing each other for power. Who are we to tell them they can't do it this way, anymore??
If they want another dictator, let them have it.
I love your freeway blogging! I wish I'd thought of it!
If FreewayBlogger is the "dumbest" person on the web", why do you tune in ? Dosn't that make the FreewayBlogger the second dumbest person on the web? Believe me, I'm far to busy FreewayBlogging to worry about what the critics say. Instead of worrying about us, why not spend some time with your family, maybe go kill something.
LOL, the only reason I got up at 4:00AM was because I was worried that my signs would get ripped down if I put them up sooner. What am I, the poster boy for getting up too early? I really wanted to hit the morning commute on Monday. I just never took into account the laziness of the average American. Even if they ARE insulted by my signs, they're too damn busy or lazy to take them down. I still have one up in Daly City, one whole week later. WOOHOO!
And thanks for the tip. I was wondering where I was going to get bungee cords cheap. I've got fresh targets now and most of them don't involve overpasses. Found a really sweet spot near Candlestick Park. I'll let you know how it goes.
Very practical!
Saw one on 580 East going into Oakland. Made my day!
