Hick Hangs His New Love

Be careful what you ask for, people! I have many years of experience requesting things from Hick, so I know how it goes. You rarely get exactly what you asked for. Hick told me he would send a picture of his precious new SUS2.5 (Storage Unit Store 2.5) sign when he hung it up. And he did.

It was before 7:00 a.m. Daylight Savings Time does not start until next weekend. So I got a picture of Hick's sign in the dark:


At least you can see how it hangs out from the front of the doorway. If I was out shopping at a flea market store in the dark, I'm not sure I would enter Hick's establishment. Maybe you can make out the two deer heads inside. Hick got them for decorations, but I'm sure he would sell them. This reminds me of the shop where the bad-inventor dad from Gremlins bought Gizmo, the Mogwai.

Of course I asked Hick for a picture in the daylight. So he sent me this one:


"Sign closed up to close garage door."

Well. That was not exactly what I meant. So I asked a THIRD time, for a picture of his sign hanging in the daylight.


Now we're back to Hick's typical panoramic view of almost everything but the intended subject of the photo. It was a rainy day, not Hick's fault. At least it IS daylight. But if you hadn't seen what the sign looked like before hanging, I doubt you would think it's anything besides a random piece of board, to "stand out" and draw attention, heh, heh.

  1. It looks great! Is it weather protected in any way? When it snows etc, will he take it down?

    1. I'm sure that in person, on a bright sunny day, the sign looks nice. It IS protected. The guy who made it coated it with polyurethane, which to me seems like clear nail polish, heh, heh. It is waterproof. Hick was waiting on me to "color" his precious sign before having it coated.
