The Rules.

   Hmmmm ... seems rather Orwellian. Everything that is not prohibited is compulsory!

   Kinda reminds me of a house with a big yard a few blocks down from mine. Perched pertly behind several unfriendly "KEEP OUT!" and "BEWARE OF DOG!" signs is this cutesy little handcarved placard that says:

   "Our Little Love Acre"

   That's irony you could stick magnets to...

   Important nit: it's a flickr set, not a flickr group. A set is photos from one person, a group is where multiple people can contribute.

   Fixed. Thanks Steve Portigal!

   this isn't unusual at all. This sign just happens to list the sections of the applicable penal code.

   Go into a mall sometime and check out the "Code of Conduct." Amusement parks, airports, the library..

   Signs like this are everywhere. Why? Too many dumbshit teenagers that are incapable of acting like normal people in public.

   California? I thought you only saw this kind of stuff where there were lots of stern, dour puritan-types who take the zest out of life... whose rectal sphincters tighten when they see others having fun and enjoying themselves and on their own terms.

   "The following are prohibited: ... Keep off slopes and out of stream channel ..."

   So ... technically ... it's an offense *not* to move onto 'slopes' and into the 'stream channel' [whatever that is]?!

   So, i suppose a group of 25 alcohol drinking canine motorcyclists who are golfing, skateboarding, or rollerblading while dumping trash and shooting off fireworks (if not outright loitering) while playing amplified music before setting up camp on a slope (or, perhaps, stream channel) while selling advertising would be out of the question?

   Bastanchury Park is where my dad took me fishing when I was a tyke. I don't think those rules have changed much in over thirty years. By the way, Fullerton is one of those places with "lots of stern, dour puritan-types who take the zest out of life… whose rectal sphincters tighten when they see others having fun and enjoying themselves and on their own terms." (That's my own humble opinion.)

    Hoot,
    I was just wondering what a photoshop of all the rules being broken at once would look like. I love your description. Hee hee!
