Why doesn't Blogger have a font like this?


I was walking the pooch the other day and noticed this truck parked across the street.  I had to do a double...triple...then quadruple check before I could read what it said.  Can you read it?

At first I thought it said "Live Frat" and I thought it was some kind of promotion for college fraternities.   Well, that's just dumb.

Then I thought it said "Live Fart", which was even dumber.  Why would you want to advertise farting unless you were George Carlin trying to sell CD's?

I finally figured out it said "Live Fast".  But here's the problem:  If this guy is driving down the highway at 70+ mph and he wants people to see his logo and call him, they have to be able to read it in 2 seconds, max.  I'm guessing the "Live Fast" phone won't be ringing off the wall.  Maybe the Live Fart phone, but not the Live Fast phone.


I wonder if the Live Fart....er....Fast.... guy started out his sign painting career as a graffiti artist?  Am I the only one who can't read most graffiti?  Does this ^ say anything?  Is it some sort of protest sign?  If so, what are they protesting?  Or are they selling something?  I have no idea.  

K always accuses me of being a stuffed shirt.  Actually what she says is I have a stick up my a__.  If I have something to say, or sell, I write it plainly and keep the message simple.  If you can't read it in a couple of seconds it loses it's impact.  It's worthless. Old fashioned maybe, but it works.

Trust me.  I know all about signs.
