A sign of the times in Alabama?

by Nelly McDaid | 2, Add your Comment | Jun 1, 2009

dsc01100Teresa Weaver, Reagan Walker and Soyia Ellison — all former star journalists at The Atlanta Journal-Constitution — were taking a break from the Alabama Shakespeare Festival and wandering around Montgomery when they happened across the sign at this club.

Reagan writes: “The backward letters caught our eye. It took a few U-turns to get back for this snapshot of course — calling attention to ourselves and prompting one kind local to roll her window down and ask ‘Y’all need help?’”

Demonstrating that she is as skilled with a camera as she is with words, Teresa took the photo.

    Wow. This looks like what you might call reverse discrimination. I can’t imagine how they verify who’s eligible to get in. Thanks for sharing.

    well, it is a FAMILY lounge, so maybe…
    But you know, it was Cynthia Good—sweet, kind little Cynthia Good-as-her-name — who messed with the Men Working sign near Gov. Sonny’s house and caused a gender uproar!

What is CAPTCHA and why do I have to enter it to post a comment?

Quick answer: Look at the picture (below) that contains letters. Type those letters in the CAPTCHA Code box.

Longer explanation: Our comment system now requires a CAPTCHA test (an acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart" for all comments (unless you have registered and are logged-in). CAPTCHA is an image of letters that is dynamically generated (click the speaker icon to hear it or the arrows to load another test that may be easier to read). The letters, because they're part of an image and not text (e.g. text that you could cut and paste), are difficult for a spambot or other computer program to read. Yet, a person has little trouble reading the letters in a captcha image and then typing them into the form. Using a captcha test on our website is a great way to ensure, for instance, that a person and not a spambot is filling out a web form (we used to get 100 or so spam comments every day which our volunteers had to wade through). Also, a captcha can make it difficult for a person to continuously resubmit form information and overwhelm our comment function. If you hate CAPTCHA, just register on LikeTheDew.com and login (registration is on the bottom left of our home page) and you won't be stopped by CAPTCHA.
