Make some full color photocopies of the beat up warning sign, spray mount them to cardboard or poster board, and install them on popular tourist beaches late at night on March 31. After a few freaked out phone calls to the authorities you might even generate some media coverage.
I voted YES! on your Threadless submission. I am mixed on the exclamation mark. I can see both sides of the argument. I will consider it with council and issue a statement soon.

I'll cast my vote for version 2. I love the full sign but the weathering doesn't speak to me. Then again, up here in Minnesota I don't get to see too many real beach warning signs. Maybe if I saw more weathered signs on beaches I'd feel differently (I also probably wouldn't be so pail). I'd buy it as a tin sign in a heart beat.

Totally! Perhaps the critter is a spirit who grows a limb for every century spent in the murky depths guarding the submerged tiki... (thunderclap) Good thing I didn't sculpt the 100 year old version - he looked rather silly 
Finished up the sculpt today - lid is now removable and has a straw hole in the middle:
I am gonna dry this guy veeeeeeeery slowly!

Weird phobias that control your life
Weird phobias and fears are an abnormal response to supposed danger. This danger is usually an exaggerated reaction to an imagined or irrational situation. Weird phobias like fear of success, fear of long words or fear of driving are only a few of the weird phobias in the list of phobias that we have prepared in this site.

U R 2 COOL!
Giant Squid!
I want a sign I can post down at Honl beach - the surfing beach by my house. I'm sure someone would take it, as it'd be too cool to not grab. But, it might be worth it. It's too funny! U know tourists would fall for it!
Might have to make lots, and just keep posting them at the beach when they disappear.
Vantiki you're be like the Hawaiian Shepard Faery.

I love the signs man! It's funny because they are about as funny as these signs that were put up in my town a few years back for tsunami zones and evacuation routes and such after they had a ridiculous scare...but the tsunami signs were put up by the state gov't! I might have to buy a few as an "add-on" to the already posted signs!
