Mary Ave NW sign changed to Mary Jane NW

The sign at the corner of 70th and Mary Ave NW has been painted over with a new name.

We saw this sign this morning. Someone has painted over “Mary Ave NW” with “Mary Jane NW.”

  1. Yes, this is a perfect example of the level of thinking and creativity that ALL pot smokers exhibit. Did you know women are bad drivers too?

  2. That's funny! However, Spiderman really wanted Gwen Stacy. Mary Jane was just a friend for a long time, until the Green Goblin killed Gwen. Geek-trivia.

    The sign painter was very sloppy-must have been high while painting!

  3. It's much more funny without seeing the picture.

    I'm envisioning the 1:00 a.m. pizza and dorito fueled brainstorming session. It starts something like this:

    “Dude, you have a sharpie and a step stool, right?”

  4. Why acknowledge bad actions. Now this is being multiplied over and over again on the internet. Waste of taxpayers money to fix or replace sign.

  5. I don't condone vandalism, but it appears that this is one of the old signs that is soon due for replacement by the city anyway. When it gets taken down, the person who did this can go to the city surplus shop and buy it for $5.

  6. Yeah, like the ones I knew growing up.
    So creative that they are either: a) dead; b) dead; c) dead or; d) in jail.

    Or, as we used to call them, Sh*t-for-brains.

  7. Oops – I meant something more like “baseless” or “unfounded” where I accidentally used “unbiased”. Must be all the pot I've smoked!

  8. My guess is that the kooky pranksters that pulled off this mischief would likely have been more buzzed from the solvent from the marker…

    Captain Bligh,

    Your intolerance hints of some real issues. No one has ever died from a pot overdose. I am not writing this from a grave or jail cell. Turn off the computer and go back to watching FOX News in your glass house. You can learn some more “balanced” views. If you were captain of this ship, I too would mutiny!

  9. I got a 4 on the AP Calculus test while i was high on marijuana during the multiple choice section. AND i'm a product of the public school system. I'd rather be a dope head than someone who has been falsely made to believe that weed is the devil. go watch “The Union: Business behind getting high” or “High: The true tale of American Marijuana” and then get back to me.

  10. Bligh: Yeah I agree. I guess Stephen King, Richard Branson and even our own President are just a bunch of dopehead losers for having smoked or condoned pot.

    You are so much smarter than all three put together.

    PS, I'm pretty sure Jack Kerouac and Louis Armstrong smoked pot too. Those guys were total morons!!!

    PPS, The sign sucks anyway. The artist should have gotten WASTED drunk to muster some real inspiration.
