CITY Advent 2009: Day 8

CITY Advent: Day 8

7687 - 2009 City Advent - Day 8
Barricade

Day eight of the CITY Advent, and day two of the Police Action sub-theme. And...just like that...we've left the holiday themes and returned to the mundane.

Maybe if I really think hard, I can find a way to see today's assembly as festive.

Hrm.

Well, the red-and-white caution stripes sort of look like a candy cane.

There. I tried.

    I don't think Jack the Ripper or Billy the Kid are afraid of Santa. :P


    You could always pretend those signal things and say they're Christmas light holders. :P

  3. If you look at it from the right angle, it almost looks like some sort of cheerful robot with a candy-cane striped mouth... almost.

  6. @cancerkitty First thing I thought when I saw this is, "Is that a cute alien sidekick?"
