ok, so before my #1 child leaves with this newly framed sign, i want a public record of what it says......the sign of which i speak is made of cardboard, and was found just outside the musee unterlinden in colmar on a sunday in january......after we had visited the carved lion in belfort and the chapel in ronchamp designed by le corbusier........anyway, this sign was just lying in the street, and andrew decided it was too cool to leave....but he didn't want to take it into the restaurant for dinner......so he hid it outside.......the rasmussens were with us, along with scw and the loyal opposition (l.o.)...helen r. later found the perfect frame for it.......it has been sitting atop the perfect frame for 2+ years, and tonight we went the final step before he drove off with it................for his new place in lexington.....the wording is as follows:
je vais metres ton chien dans le micro-onde donne moi des sous ou je met sur (5) et an (+) je vois le faire pour manger pour vivre.(svp)......if the spelling/grammer is off, it is only because the french beggar couldn't spell........
we have always referred to it as the microwaved dog sign.....i carried it back in the bottom of my suitcase because it is such a find...we also put together quite a collection of found stuff in barcelona to frame for acw.....maybe oneday i will get that put together in a presentable fahsion as well.........for the record, it was the elder rasmussen child who hosted scw for 2 days in princeton.........it was good to see him again......he is such a brilliant and engaging person
